Yup, there is no 'proof' in the public domain as of yet as all products built on 18A thus far are unreleased. The only points which potentially stand in the way of 18A are yield and available capacity.
Heh, I wonder if they'd even attempt to base such a tariff on country of origin. Rather just go with any device containing semiconductors below 28nm class diffused in Taiwan. No sneaky way to get around it and they get the tariff on the value of the imported device rather than just the TSMC...
Indeed. Any of the large customers are performing their own studies on their relevant workloads and could care less about the results from publicly available reviews that we're commenting on. Said reviewers know this, and since the Intel accelerators don't exactly fit into their normal benchmark...
Not sure what the point of the above is?
My point is that if you're trying to compare CPU + iGPU efficiency by providing same power to different designs, then the same power budget should be provided to the CPU + iGPU. LNL has about 1.5-2W less power available to the CPU + iGPU if set to the...
One reason for the difference is that LNL includes DRAM in the 28W power limit. Many like to simply brush that detail aside, but even if you go with a low figure of 1.5W for DRAM that still results in 26.5W for LNL and 29.5W for MTL/STX.
Sigh. Obviously a laptop that's being used on a desk with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor really doesn't care about battery life. Great example of that is my ~4 year old work laptop with its 9 cycles on the battery.
By comparison my personal 14" 2-in-1 is primarily used as an actual laptop and...
Important for the same reason that battery life is important for a smartphone. Not quite to the same extent of course as a laptop is more usable while plugged in than a smartphone, but same base principle applies.
Heh, of course some of the graphics division team has taken the buyout package. The voluntary separation/early retirement options were pretty much universal across Intel. And it's likely the case there will be some involuntary separation as well. That's just the company-wide reality at the...
This is an important point all too often ignored in server CPU discussions in particular. General benchmark suites like those run by Phoronix are only going to be applicable to some server use cases. Servethehome does a bit better in that respect, but still doesn't provide a complete picture...
Performance at lower settings is primarily a function of the lower power consumption limiting the CPU performance side. Could potentially be improved by modifying the power allocation between CPU and GPU, but maybe not meaningfully.
Or could be a long-term victory if Turin ends up with as little gain as Zen5 has shown us thus far.
Have to remember that with EMR->GNR Intel has gone from a deficit to at least parity if not advantage on core count, process technology, and memory bandwidth. Turin will primary get AMD back to...
Same value as any other academic experiments/research. Assuming that these articles on Semiwiki are by the same author they provide a bit more context into what he does - https://semiwiki.com/author/fred-chen/
As for why people saw fit to distribute the information? Well, isn't it obvious given...
I'm not. According to the Mercury Research data, AMD's server unit share in Q1 2023 was 18% - https://www.anandtech.com/show/21392/amd-hits-record-high-share-in-x86-cpus-in-q1-2024
Yes, it is simple math. AMD went from 27.8/18 = 54.4% higher ASP to 33/23.6 = 39.8% higher ASP. Nowhere did I claim that Intel's ASPs are higher than AMD. Though I should have said that Intel server ASPs are increasing more than AMD serverASPs over that time period rather than stating that AMD...
No it most definitely does not.
I see no reason to doubt the statement is true, but it's just based on published metrics for the Intel 3 process. And it's just providing an example of the problem with optically scanning for defects on EUV layers.
Let me try to explain again. After all the...
