    News [intel] Jim Keller resigns from Intel

    And you were right, I completely agree and fully admit I was very much wrong and misguided by that line of thinking back then.

    Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

    I really don't know what you are going on about. If you can't follow the conversation, then why make it into a thinly veiled personal attack? I've explained numerous times the differences between expectations and realities in the fabs and the market right now, if you (or other characters)...

    Was brazos a bad product?

    The ramifications (then and now) of what it took to envision, greenlight, resource, and bring to market a "small x86 core" product at the time in which AMD initially started internal development of Brazos simply cannot be understated. There are stories told, stories yet to be told, and stories...

    Sweet. And in anticipation of a possible response from the bi-curious ISA crowd, would it be possible to cajole you into including an A9 microarchitecture comparison within said table/matrix comparison? ;) :P (personal note, I self-identify with the bi-curious ISA contingent, call me twistlyn ;))

    Globalfoundries developing 10nm in-house (DigiTimes)

    I didn't bother posting this 2 weeks ago because I assumed it was common knowledge even at the time, but this has already been stated (publicly) by Sanjay Jha, Globalfoundries CEO, as reported by EETimes on Sept 16 from Junko Yoshida. (note there is a bunch of nice stuff in the same EETimes...

    If by "next processor" you mean the A10, then no, it will not be 10nm. A10 is 100% 16FF+.

    Intel Cannonlake SoC will have 4-core, 6-core and 8-core versions

    LOL! That gave me a good laugh :P +1, its another place where they can sell silicon that takes advantage of their process tech in terms of performance/W too. There are limitations, but before they get to the technical limitations they will run into the artificial limitations. Artificial...

    I said the same of Nokia...and yet :\ Never underestimate the desperation that middle-to-upper management can have to pursue a M&A to create the perception that they, individually, are contributing to the company and thusly deserve to continue being richly rewarded with RSUs and 5-figure...

    Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

    Not that Apple is doing it the same as TI, but before Apple there was TI and it had 80% mobile phone market share. They fabbed the same chip at no less than four companies - 3 foundries plus their own fabs. The way this was made possible, without making it painfully clear to the consumer that...

    Oh there is no doubt, it is a supply-limited issue. Intel doesn't talk about it publicly, but they freely talk about their 14nm yield issues with all their suppliers as they need those suppliers to tweak their products in order to enable higher yields. Not that anyone need take my word for it...

    [WCCF] AMD Contracts TSMC To Produce Zen At 16nm Amidst Concerns Over 14nm

    Back when TI had 80% marketshare in mobile phones, we fabbed the same chip at three different foundries plus internally manufactured in our own fabs. We did this for multiple nodes over many years without any problem. You can do it provided you drive the requirement of "electrical...

    [WCCF] AMD Contracts TSMC To Produce Zen At 16nm Amidst Concerns Over 14nm

    The A9s are produced by both foundries, hopefully we'll get to see a teardown comparison in the coming days since the chips themselves won't be exactly identical.

    Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

    Unfortunately because of the split contract people will have to acquire multiple samples before they can be sure to TSMC's and Samsung's A9 for comparison purposes.

    [Austin Statesman] AMD sees a way forward (with new Zen design)

    Very true. Also relevant is what it will be competing against at the time it is available for purchase in stores by end-users. Will that be Kaby-lake timing?

    The REALEST AMD Vs. Intel Comparison Video Ever Made!

    Bare-die testing: A delidded 3770k, an H100, and 9 different TIMs

    I agree, on the non-soldered IHS SKUs the CPU itself is mechanically isolated and experiences negligible load-bearing forces. Getting back to the consequences portion of the discussion, what does this mean for Intel's IHS-less mobile SKUs? What TIM do the OEMs use in countering the higher...

    So what did Rory Read do wrong?

    AMD's biggest problems has always been their board of directors. A commonality they share with HP, unfortunately. Rory may have been hired on a whim, and fired on a whim, for all we really can be certain of. When they hired him I thought it was so he could leverage his business...

    So what did Rory Read do wrong?

    To answer your question you must go back even further in time, before he was fired. Why was he hired? Why was Dirk fired? Recall the BoD fired Dirk for his lack of vision and leadership direction in the mobile arena. Rory was selected because he would make up for Dirk's lackings...

    TSMC exclusively doing Apple A10

    In some areas they do have success in spreading their bets across suppliers, the ram, the nand, the screens, the glass, etc. But sometimes it just doesn't work out as an option because of business cycle timing. I'm curious if the A10X goes to Samsung or GloFo, or possibly Intel for that...

    Apple A9X the new mobile SoC king

    TSMC exclusively doing Apple A10

    How many 16nm wafers do you think they will have shipped in Q3 even if they have the entire A9/A9X contract considering that the A9/A9X will only have been shipping in market for 5 days in Q3? (Apple release is Sept 25, Q3 ends Sept 30) If people really wanted to know who is producing the A9...

    Yeah, you're probably right. In the history of AMD's announcements of departing employees, there has always been nothing but upside to come from it. Who am I to lend a bit of experience, or logic, to the interpretation of yet-another press release regarding the departure of an employee...

    Jim Keller leaves AMD

    What an odd thing to write. Obviously it has a bearing on AMD. AMD felt that the action of hiring Keller was a big enough impact to merit making sure everyone knew they had done so. And they obviously (given that they did a press release) felt that his departure was also significant enough to...

    Do I really need to re apply CPU paste even if its never been powered on?

    I'd wager you have a 90% chance of this being no problem (remount with existing paste) and a 10% chance of this being a major problem (too little paste, temperature becomes too high, either your chip throttles or it wastes a lot of electricity from elevated leakage currents). Here's the thing...

    If Keller's departure was planned and executed by Keller of his own volition then it would have been communicated to management well in advance of today. In this industry, anyone in an org chart position at Keller's level would have communicated to his chain of command his intentions of leaving...

    What a bargain. :rolleyes: If anything, this should just go to show that doing 14nm is no walk in the park, and that maybe (possibly) the foundries made the right risk-vs-reward conclusion when it came to not scaling their BEOL as aggressively as Intel did for 14nm.

    Hell has frozen over, Fudzilla Both Microsoft and Intel trying to acquire AMD

    That is a really odd reason for poor availability. Is this something AMD actually went on record stating or is this just a personal opinion? The reason I ask is because saying you have an interposer supply shortfall is like saying you have a shortage of packaging materials, which while...
