That being said they really need to step up their game or else they'll be bleeding market share for years to come.
- hedgehog 6y agoI give the people working on 14nm a ton of credit for being able to squeeze out as much performance as they have. As long as big datacenter customers worry about AMD's supply chain that will probably keep them from switching en masse, though the big TSMC plant coming on line might go a long way towards alleviating those concerns.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoI did not know this. This is interesting, because it gives Intel even less of an excuse for their insane power consumption and poor performance. In recent discussions, Ryzen's performance was commonly credited to the process, along the lines of "if you ported Intels core to 7nm it'd wreck everything else". It seems like more of a fair comparison now.
