When he says it's better, he's talking about 5%. Also they just said with Raptorlake release the 2-4% improvement with prefetcher and cache changes finally got it to Skylake level. Obviously even Skylake has 2x vector performance so they aren't talking about that.
Vector performance only...
No the difference is greater than that. The overall difference is 40-50% between Raptormont and Raptor Cove. Remember, Gracemont is uarch Skylake-level, but it has a weaker uncore. Raptorlake's advancements brings it to Skylake level.
Sunny Cove = 18%, Golden Cove = 19%, makes it roughly 40%...
Intel Newsroom. It has multiple high resolution photos, including the relevant one.
12 cores could work too but 8 core x 18 cluster just fits so well. We don't know the details of Sierra Forest and whether they are using the same client core as Crestmont or even adding enhancements. Unless they...
Actually if you download the images from Intel's site and zoom in, it's pretty clear to me that it's 4x4 config with two tiles missing, meaning there's only 14 clusters.
The bottom rows do not exist. In certain angles it looks that way but that pattern is repeated through the wafer, where the...
Yea and the weird split we have now between product lines should all converge in that year with Panther Lake.
It's ONE compute tile. Where are people getting two compute tiles? Two compute tiles = 288 cores.
Redwood to Lion Cove is probably close to the norm, but desktop is going to skip Redwood Cove at least for the high end, so it'll be able to claim greater than normal gains, just like Core 2 was said to be a near 2x gain while the real predecessor was Core Duo and was only about 20% faster...
Zero. Server chips always take longer to come out so Lion Cove would be too early. With Lion Cove we're talking potential 30% gain over Golden Cove. Redwood Cove itself is maybe 3-5% so vast majority is Lion Cove.
If Granite Rapids was Lion Cove, they could keep core count and frequency the...
I think Koduri being a problem is just a consequence of the real problem that has been plaguing Intel for the past two decades, culture and management problem.
If they were actually on the ball, then they would have been better long time ago.
Ah well. Based on what @Exist50 is saying Koduri's...
Boris, I don't know where you got that. Look at it closer. It's ONE compute die. Granite Rapids has 1, 2, and 3. Whoever tells you otherwise is wrong. The rest are IO dies.
Yea the Enterprise workloads are THAT different. What I believe they did wrong started with Skylake - by unifying E5 and...
Sierra Forest is further different, as the cores are all on on-die along with the memory controller, unlike Rapids which have multiple core tiles.
Yes, there will be crosstalk, but the ability to access caches from other cores are still an advantage over one that can't.
Most workloads won't...
What? Lockdowns increased demand because people were forced to stay at home all day. Again, look at the numbers, Intel gained desktop share.
It decreased after it was rescinded(rightfully), hence the collapse.
We're spending our free time posting here because we care. Other people will see...
Yes, @coercitiv is right. It's the push to ridiculous power levels that are causing it to fail. They are absolutely pushing the limits in all directions.
Remember when 980 Ti's could be overclocked to the point where it was 20-30% higher performance? Now we barely get 5%? And it can't even...
No one wants a Raptorlake Refresh. We want them to move to the next gen. They are clocked at 6GHz already, you aren't getting much more other than further manufacturer approved OC.
Why do you think it's only the OEMs that care? Intel kept losing marketshare until Alderlake, and reversed the...
You gotta be kidding about Raptorlake refresh making any impact. I know you are smart enough to know this.
Let's put it this way. Do you think a Raptorlake Refresh would be competitive later this year?
It might not be end of the world if the CPU after Raptorlake Refresh isn't until late 2025...
@Exist50 What you are saying is Intel is basically going back to the E5/E7 era.
It made sense, and they should have done that a while ago. There was very clear distinction between the two however. The E7 had massive amount of memory support, but traded it for latency. It had more cores and...
