Ahhh, ok so it was on the live stream. But now it's gone from the press deck? This is stupid, I don't know what to make of this conference now.
Either way we know the M2 at "peak performance" is really, really bad performance per watt comparison. M2 max is only impressive in mobile efficiency...
I feel like I'm going crazy, or the Mandela effect/multiple worlds is real, or most likely they've switched out the slides several times.
I read the entire article on Ananadtech and it said "Competitor a" on the slides. And the slides had "14 core CPU" and not a specific CPU.
And now the...
The layoffs are all in part because "money is expensive" which is a stupid business term meaning loans for giant companies were so cheap a few years ago and everything was growing so fast they were basically getting money for free, but now it's expensive and they need to pay some of that off...
No, this chip as 50% better performance than "Competitor" in this slide.
The second you assume which "competitor" it is, marketing won. If it really was that fast they'd just say it, instead all these slides are "Look how much faster (not that you can see it on the unmarked up axis) these cores...
Right now it's definitely part supply, one manufacturer is even suing AMD over not delivering contracted amount of chips on time: https://videocardz.com/newz/gpd-accuses-amd-of-breaching-contract-by-not-supplying-enough-ryzen-7-7840u-apus-on-time
That being said, Intel has a lot of "bullying"...
I could see it as a response to the 7800xt, which seems quite popular. But that seems a bit of a stretch, especially when they could just do what they did, which is lower the 4070 by $50 and bundle a game with it.
The comparison is also ridiculous marketing speak. Nothing about being more performant, denser, or using less energy, you know the stuff that indicates progress and that people care about other than price. So it's just a blank faced nothing statement at best indicating nothing and at worst...
Power savings is projected to be 25-30% vs N3E by TSMC. Sure that's TSMC optimism numbers, but if that's "small power savings" then what on earth is large power savings?
Density appears to be done for either way, but unlike N3 (at least N3 vs N4P) the power usage at same frequencies is projected to drop a whole lot. For most parts today that's more than good enough, whether it's a consumer part in likely a mobile device or an enterprise/cloud part that's just...
You're right, screw multi core, Pentium 5 should've happened and we've lost the one true way of the gigahertz.
Goals should never include performance per watt or per mm, clockspeed is the only god we bow to and dare I say it, we should be aiming for
One BIIILLLIIOON gigahertz!!!
Yeah wide is the way every non x86 CPU has gone with good results. There's some block with x86 due to variable length instructions that I've never totally understood, because every time I see it the explanation the interviewee gives is "it's complicated" and then they refuse to explain.
Well...
Nano imprint stuff is better for low layers of silicon, it has problems aligning one layer atop the other due to expansion/contraction etc. Thus this tech is super useful for silicon photonics, and is in experimental production for flash (SSDs/etc.) but remains questionable for "a whole lot of...
N3B is awful, so I doubt RDNA4 was ever intended for it, there's a reason Apple is the only major customer for it and N3E was rushed out asap. N3E isn't terribly better, but just better enough to be worth it for the most competitive markets. It's not until N2 that TSMC will get back on track...
I'm glad AMD finally kicked their (department) head out, they've really needed someone that knows how to compete with Nvidia in mindshare terms and that guy clearly could not.
Anyway, ticking it over in my head, CU counts are probably
40CU/128bit
60CU/192bit
80CU/256bit
120CU/384bit
160 is too...
