I look forward to TSMC fabbing it for them.
In all seriousness, hasn't Intel been hanging on to their current architecture for way too long at this point? IIRC Ryzen consumes less power and does more per Watt on the high end and ARM is eating them up on the low end. It feels like Intel is just trying to squeeze out a little more from a much-delayed 10nm process and their existing architecture.
It sort of reminds me of Pentium 4 just outstaying its welcome.
Genuinely curious: what's on the horizon for Intel as their next big change and not something that's just a marketing clock speed boost?
- happycube 4y agoThey finally started moving forward in the 11th gen, where they backported the core originally meant to 10nm to 14nm. 12th gen had a nice IPC boost, pity they didn't keep AVX512 enabled IMO.
- atty 4y agoCurrent architecture, no - this big+little architecture just started with the last generation, like a year ago I think? However, if you mean process node, then yes, I think this is on the same one they’ve been using for awhile. But they have 2-3 more nodes coming in the next 3-4 years. If they don’t screw those up, they should be ok. That’s a big if, though. They’re also changing to a chiplet-based architecture with their next Xeon line which will be interesting.
- mhh__ 4y agoArm is absolutely nowhere. Apple are very good but that's not an arm design. Also you're wrong, it's really not an existing architecture unless you talk in extremely broad strokes.
