1) Intel won't be able to, at least not until they finally manage to get the new architecture out. Heat is already a huge issue for intel.
2) AMD might be saving perfect core chiplets, but probably mostly for use in EPYC as the margins are higher.
4) I expect 16 core am4 to arrive someday.
- jlawer 7y agoGood point on EPYC, I had assumed these would be using a different design like earlier generations, but the chiplet design makes this not only possible, but likely where the best chiplets are going. I agree that 16 core will arrive this generation, but I could also see it being 6 months or so. I have also wondered if it is waiting for a second generation I/O die with an enhanced memory controller to feed the extra cores.
