- dougmwne 4y agoThey are losing the process manufacturing game so need to make up the lost ground somewhere.
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoGolden Cove (Alder Lake) has been a massive uplift in performance-per-clock from the previous generations. This is also related to the fact that Intel was reiterating Skylake for most of the time until ADL, which itself is barely more than Sandy Bridge with a few generations of iterative tweaks. I believe Raptor Cove (what will be in 13th gen) is not that big of a change from Alder Lake; it's the same but with some refinements and mainly larger caches. Furthermore, the P-core/E-core divide means that they can make the P-cores quite large and inefficient, as E-cores will pick up the heavily-threaded tasks. So while a Zen core is significantly smaller than a Golden Cove core, Gracemont is much smaller still.
- mhh__ 4y agoNo, amd and intel are still lumping eachother over the head with IPC gains. Alder lake was Intel's first proper response to Zen -> huge IPC boost
