- misterhtmlcss 6y agoIf it's not then it seems an excessive amount of engineers at one time even for Intel. The goal would seem to be to cull the whole team.
- mobilio 6y agoWell here is one video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUNJ_tkq2hk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUNJ_tkq2hk It's on Russian, but shows how underpowered CPU (on paper!) can play with no lags resource hungry game. So let's back on Intel's issues. Almost 20+ years ago Intel have a huge project that failed. Itanium based on VLIW architecture. Then Intel start pushing P4 architecture (Netburst) to the maximum. I think that they're hit 3GHz barrier and there isn't path beyond that. And then PentiumM was born (from Israeli team) and soon CD, C2D.
