If ARM raises the price too much on Neoverse, they'll kill whatever business case Amazon et al had for licensing the Neoverse platform (versus buying EPYC). Of course with ARM buying out Ampere and with Qualcomm getting back into the ARM server game, that makes Neoverse potentially even less...
Considering how much $$$ Amazon makes off Graviton, I can't see that being true. Is ARM going to cut them off or make them pay an unacceptably large sum to keep it going?
The 1800x represented a massive improvement in desktop processing power versus AMD's previous gen Bulldozer chips (not to speak of Steamroller and Excavator, which were too limited in scope). ST and MT performance went through the roof. In contrast, the 7700k was sort of the lame duck...
Also let's keep in mind that jumping from 4c/8t to 8c/16t was a much bigger deal back then than it would be to jump from 24c/48t to 48c/48t (when the majority of those cores are monts). Many power users are struggling to utilize even 16c/32t fully. Also people are beginning to notice on Zen5...
And you may well be correct. Or they may have misinterpreted data, as was the case with the Zen5 40%+ claim. They're not going to change their tunes in the face of counter-arguments.
It seems reasonable that AMD would prioritize a newer, expensive node for high-margin products. But, up...
Exactly. Intel's margins have taken a beating thanks to the problems they've had up through Sapphire Rapids. Have margins even improved for Emerald or Granite Rapids?
You're using arguably-torturous deduction to reason with someone who claims to be looking at a spec sheet. Watching the two of you go back and forth is absurd. Leaks probably don't belong in a speculation thread anyway.
So again either accept what the leakers are saying as canon or simply...
