I think you touched the crux of the issue here, AMD product performance usually degrades a lot when going from paper to actual products.
I also don't get why you are comparing the ring architecture from Intel's current chips with a future AMD product. Intel already said that they will change...
How are the dies connected quite well? Did AMD provide amenities to the cores inside the package? Connected well is not quite technical, it seems that you are just assuming AMD solution is better because it is AMD.
It is not a ring, it is a bridge, but since you said that Intel solution is suboptimal, what would be the optimal solution for you? and how AMD solution is better than Intel suboptimal solution?
I'm not interested in magic, I'm interested on how they are technically better than Intel ring solution and it seems you do not have an answer, you are expecting a miracle. I'm expecting either huge latencies or very poor efficiency from AMD solution, it is a cheapskate solution for a market...
Usually in the server market it doesn't matter how much buzz you make, it's more about delivering the promised performance within the efficiency targets, something that Intel has been doing in the last 10 years.
Would you care to explain how Intel dual ring solution for 32 cores would be...
It doesn't matter whether the workload can scale over 32 cores with decent throughput, but whether the workload can be processed in an efficient manner. This is a glass-jaw in AMD architecture, a trade-off they are making. Whether they are making this due to 1)lack of resources, due to 2)being...
Do you know that 32 cores without FMA/AVX on the server market is the old AMD failed strategy of providing more cores to reach the same performance level, do you? And it doesn't work, because the moment you add more cores you add up to leakage and you end up with worse performance/watt.
Plus...
You are getting negative rates on your loan because the bank would lose even more money if it didn't lend it to you at that rate.
I doubt that this would be AMD's case, this company is destroying equity in a much larger rate than any negative interest rate from any central bank out there, so...
While Intel isn't improving raw performance in the same fast pace of earlier years, there is already far more performance available on the market. Are people shifting in droves to Intel HEDT, or is this market segment getting so small that Intel does't even bother in making specific dies for it...
Given that Intel 10nm is supposed to inherit a lot of technology from the troubled 14nm node, I will be quite surprised if Intel can ramp it up on the proposed schedule and keep even this 3 years cadence.
AMD has no cost advantage over Intel, and with 14nm chips reaching the bottom of the market AMD share is poised to shrink, not grow. Trash silicon doesn't fetch a big share on any consumer market, maybe with exception of Greece.
