Absolutely agree. I've wondered if Intel was just being lazy prioritizing improving their silicon process and got snuck up on by AMD, thinking they effectively had no competition.
- samfisher83 6y agoThey had no competition for a long time. After opteron and before maybe Zen 2, Amd was not competitive.
- jonplackett 6y agoIt's really TSMC doing the advancing and AMD (and pretty much everyone else in the world aside from Samsung) just along for the ride! I just started reading more about the real differences between intel 14nm and TSMC 7 and found this article comparing the actual sizes of the transistors. https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/145645-intel-14nm-amdtsmc-7nm-transistors-micro-compared/ https://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/145645-intel-14nm-amdtsmc-7n... Interesting how similar they actually are, though TSMC 7nm clearly smaller. Not by as much as the numbers would suggest.
