Kinda hard to "kill a flagship" with X4.
But I guess it makes sense since Oryon-L only exists on an expensive N3E node, and 1st gen Oryon on N4 is kinda eh.
It's not only about clock speed. The V$ die isn't universally faster than the non-V$ die even at the same clock, because larger cache incurs (well, at least on Zen 4 it did) 4-cycle penalty for accessing L3. So if your workload fits within 32MB, it would be faster on the non-V$ die even if it...
7950x3d being more efficient than 7950x is just a consequence of lower TDP (120W vs 170W). The lower TDP for Zen 4 X3D parts is explained by being unable to run them as hard with V$ CCD on top. It's been rectified with Zen 5, and 9950X3D now has the same TDP as 9950X.
Mobile gaming has already surpassed PC/console gaming in revenue. And hardcore gamers are much more loyal to Huang's gigarays than they are to CPU manufacturers, so all it takes for them to be put into a very precarious position is for Huang to come up with a decent ARM SoC (which they're...
People, especially younger ones, already tend to use their phones as their main computing device. If phones start beating laptops in consumer workloads, then the whole segment will fade into irrelevance (DT already did).
There will be no need for x86.
Their cores perform exceptionally well when benchmarked on Linux.
Current x86 cores are just bad client cores, plain and simple. In what world it is acceptable for a laptop core to be gapped by a phone (the iPhone, to be precise) in running browsers.
