Product naming is fun.
It's also fun to start looking for their linux driver for the first time. You find something called i915 and wonder what it has to do with your gpu.
And that's because intel 915 chipset from two decades ago was the last one to receive its very own graphics driver, after that they have just updated the existing one to include new devices. The driver was never renamed.
Looking at this, I don't think the APO will be a long lived feature. The work it does (or rather the work intel people have apparently done per game and cpu basis) should be done by the game developers, dividing their workloads properly to latency sensitive stuff and background stuff. I think in the future there will be less and less need for this feature.
15th gen desktop is going to bring modest performance boost (think 5-10% single threaded) but significant efficiency boost. That's the main rumor.
They redesigned it completely as intel phased out Xeon phi. It’s still a couple of years delayed though.
What he proposed isn’t really stacked cache. At least not in the sense AMD does it. It should probably be thought as a separate cache die.
No.
Firstly, intel4 has been shipping for some time now so that’s where they currently are. They say they are in track for intel20A long before tsmc has 2nm. But more importantly, the nanometer number is entirely made up. Nothing in the chips is 4nm. The only thing you should be interested in is performance. If AMD performs better for the price buy AMD, if intel performs better for the price buy intel.
Then you realize few customers actually buy either of those. Most sales are in the ~30ish core products. And it starts to make sense why AMD doesn't just capture the entire market but is still sitting at 25% even though the 96 core chip is so great.
Fat in what way?
This year intel has sold around $6-8B in client chips and $4B in server chips per quarter, give or take some hundreds of millions. At best years they were about equal at the time when intel was able to charge whatever they wanted for server chips. On AMD server chips now outsell client chips if you don't count gaming segment stuff ($1.6B vs $1.5B respectively last quarter), but that is mostly because of very anemic client sales.
The things they are measuring with the analysis tools would be entirely inconsequential for any perceived “stuttering”.
No, never had any issues with these processors. Not even in the applications actually affected by DPC latency.
Lunar lake is essentially meant for the low power laptop market. By capability comparisons it seems to directly target Apple M3 chip.
So small laptops.
