Government incentives aside, Intel is certainly TSMCs biggest competitor, they manufacture the most high powered chips do they not? If not first then certainly second.
Just because Intel main customer is another division of themselves doesn't mean we can exclude that, as if Intel fab units get...
I agree with part of that, it is AMD who would want to prioritise their product rather than Tsmc.
However you are forgetting that Intel also fabs their own chips for the most part, Intel is TSMCs biggest competitor and it would serve TSMC better if AMD won the chip battle if it meant more chips...
Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm assuming Rocket lake is Mesh topology rather than Ring?
That being so I thought this would happen, AMD had poor latency and associated gaming performance with Zen 1, partly because they were forward looking with their Infinity fabric and paid an early latency...
Maybe, why AMD didn't snatch that up is anyone's guess, they need all the capacity they can get, they would easily sell any premium 5nm part they could make.
All I know is warhol better offer some decent clock boosts.
Wait a minute, hasn't Apple bought up all the 5nm production for 2021?
I would also bet good money that they buy the bulk of 3nm in 2022 as well.
In an ideal world if they do outsource they would want their mainstream and budget processors on Tsmc 7nm..
Great yield and performance, loads of...
Yes it looks like we all expected too much, remember all that 5nm Zen 3 fluff that was doing the rounds on here a few months ago?
I thought I was one of the more realistic ones.
I was in the Warhol being zen 3 refresh on AM5.. Also nope.
Whether we like it or not, gaming seems to dictate which...
AMD need to get another supplier going at Samsung, I know they have global foundries for the IOD, but if the want to improve output and market share they need Samsung to produce a portion.
Samsung's process is ideal for low power applications, that is what they have earned their bread and...
Very disappointing about Warhol IMO, was expecting some mild IPC improvements ~8% and +200mhz clocks, plus new IOD with AM5, seems we are getting another ZEN+.
This may have been taken out of AMD's hands somewhat with struggles to get EUV machines and capacity wars at TSMC.
At the end of the...
AMD's numbers are using 2080ti, if they do in fact have the fastest cpu for gaming, that lead will increase with rtx 3090 or maybe some big Navi derivative.
We could well be looking at a solid 10%, we also don't know how over clocking and memory timings have on both Intel and AMD, independent...
Yea no question AMD is the "go to" vendor now, can they actually produce enough cpu's to actually take the lions share? I have my doubts.
Well I hadn't considered that, value is a multi layered equation, ultimately though what value is determined by is what the consumer deems important or what...
Basically Zen 3 looks like a solid uplift across the board, would like to see what they have done to the FPU units, and as long as third party reviews confirm the numbers it is a massive win for AMD.
AMD is making some very big claims Regards to 1080p gaming and ST performance , if this is...
I can't say I have seen anything like this before.. I mean no leaks, nothing.
We have had one engineering sample result that could be fake, we have had 'leaks' about naming scheme and rough IPC.. These could easily be logical guesses.
It is very eerie right now, very strange, can't work out...
Nobody tests $700+ GPUs at 720p mate...i have not seen Techspot cracking out Quake 3 Arena for their RTX 3090 review.
Intel is around 5% ahead at 1440p and negligible at 4k due to the gpu bottleneck, there are some outliers which show a much bigger gap however.
Latency is the most important...
