I thought the response from intel was to invest a lot in correctness for a while and then deciding that AMD were not being punished for their higher defect rate and so, more recently, investing in other things to try to compete with AMD on other metrics than how buggy the cpu is.
- ryao 2y agoI read a claim that they had gutted their verification team several years ago in response to Zen since they claimed that they needed to develop faster and verification was slowing them down. Then not that long ago we started hearing about the raptor lake issues.
- sgerenser 2y agoI work adjacent to CPU verification, and let me tell you, those verification guys do file a LOT of bugs (and thus make a lot of work debugging and fixing issues). Some days I do wish we could just get rid of them, surprised that Intel really went ahead and did it.
