It might be part of their de-risking approach. While a team was working on the spec the other was working on the arch and depending on how feasible the full implementation is, the spec will adapt to allow this. My inference is that they had lower confidence in the cpu-arch team and left them...
Golden Cove, like Skylake, will be hard to overcome. Mark my words, for more than half a decade nothing will be substantially faster (excluding Apple, these people are doing something special: My Mac Mini M4 Pro, feels faster in day to day browsing, never expected that).
Raptor is and was fast, so fast in fact it burned out like a star.
Only 18A or 14A based chips with a lot more logic can really surpass it, Zen5 is not much faster than RaptorCove as well.
This sounds a bit too utopic.
16P cores and 32e on Intel 18A or N2, that is some die size increase on a much more expensive node.
Furthermore if Intel does not have some kind of caching layer for games, the typical reviewers will negate the workstation performance by simply saying AMD XXXX-x3D...
It is though, I know no one in my group that is eyeing a ARC card. Some are but for media encoding reasons or video editing due to the superior media engines. This performance has been on the market for years at a lower price with a 8GB RAM limitation.
For the money try shooting a used 3080 for...
Still not worth buying...
You gain nothing but lower power draw on a DESKTOP....
With Pat being basically thrown out, I will wait for the next two generations of products before calling for Intel's demise.
By that logic AMD would have been dead years ago.
Desktop is down but only in DIY, performance cannot reach AMDs x3D but for anyone on a 4070 or less which is nearly 70% it does not matter, system integrators will run through their raptor lakes and start using Arrow Lake, the average consumer...
No, it is not my own rig, a friend wanted to build a new machine (he is still on a 6700K,1070Ti) and I convinced him to buy Arrow Lake, what a good friend I am I know. While assembling the machine I ran some benches.
I went through the hassle of testing the storage performance of my Raptor Lake system 14900K unleashed vs 7950x3D vs U9 285K.
Conclusion: 14900K@5,8Ghz>7950x3D>>>> U9 285K.
The test was done with 2x900P 280GB in Raid0 as well as a P5800x 400GB using CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 on Windows 11 Pro 24H2...
As I said, these are not deal breaker issues, I just encounter them using my AMD server. Each vendor has their pros and cons, I even encouraged to still go AMD if the mentioned issues are minor.
Furthermore don't forget that AMD had CPUs failing too in the past but people forget (Phenom days)...
I never said that these are deal breakers, I even mentioned ahead that I use the 7950x in my server build, hence these are the problems I encounter. Here Intel is still ahead and I guess AMD will catch up as the userbase is steadily increasing.
I was sold broken stuff by AMD as well in the...
