Neither is personal criticism direct at other posters.
Those CPUs will be Sapphire Rapids CPUs, Intel’s second generation of 10nm server processors coming after the Ice Lake Xeons. The announcement today reaffirmed that Sapphire Rapids is a 2021 processor; and likely a late 2021 processor, as the company also confirmed that Ice Lake will have its volume ramp through late 2020.
Looks like IceLake-SP is going to be a late 2020 CPU, and Sapphire Rapids will be a late 2021 CPU:
Cooper Lake will have a lot of time on market all by itself.
he yields and margins should be left to corporations and beancounters,
I really wouldn't expect Ice Lake SP to be in the smartly priced category.I am looking forward to Icelake-SP. The yields and margins should be left to corporations and beancounters, but obviuosly with AMD giving such great competition, I think Intel will be forced to properly price and release ASAP.
Just because there is 64C Epyc, does not mean there is suddenly no market for Icelake-SP with 24-38 cores, I think we have already discussed in one of these threads that not every CPU sold is 28C or 64C monster, and most sales happen in "smart" range. And big playas are buying off counter and off SKU-list.
So combining the two, all we need is properly priced product for its core count (read performance) range. I don't care how Intel prices 38C, they might ask $66666, but I care how they price for example 24C-32C range.
8 chans of faster DDR4, 3+Ghz with all cores active with non-AVX2 load, PCIE4 Optane once available? Count me in.
I believe that when I see a proper report of how many of those CPUs / laptops were actually produced, until then I believe Charlie (S/A), because ca. 98% of what he said about Intel's 10nm in the past 2 years was correct. According to him, it's better than Cannon Lake, but still not financially viable and the quantities are way below what one should call mass production.IceLake-U seems to be doing okay-ish.

Charlie told 1 year ago that Intel killed their 10nm entirely, looks like he was dead wrong. Icelake-U availability is better than expected and next year we will see several new 10nm products like Tremont, Lakefield, Tigerlake, dedicated graphics DG1...

Lol. That's Charlie's way of saying he is right.Here is a direct quote from Charlie admitting that he was wrong: "A few months ago SemiAccurate claimed Intel killed their 10nm process, we were wrong. Instead what looks to be happening is that the 10nm process is severely deprecated because it makes no economic sense to carry on with."

Is it just me, or more and more people are really struggling to comprehend complex English sentences and to put them in the proper context? What you quoted means exactly what I wrote in my previous commentHere is a direct quote from Charlie admitting that he was wrong: "A few months ago SemiAccurate claimed Intel killed their 10nm process, we were wrong.

Just what I said. What is now being sold as Ice Lake has nothing to do with the 10nm process Intel originally announced - and kept announcing it every quarter.Well, >0 is definitely better than expected, but let's not kid ourselves and say ICL-U is anything even close to high volume. The full ICL-U design has but a handful of devices it's in, and a very large number of ICL devices have only half the GPU enabled and pretty heavily cut down clocks. They can also cap out clock-wise at 3.8GHz (1068G7 is non-existant thus far).
If that wasn't enough, Lakefield is late, Tiger Lake will probably be nice but CML-U's existence says enough about volume and DG1 is mostly low end stuff and is releasing at the end of the year (judging by first working silicon just last week).
Let's not pretend 10nm is even remotely close to a good state and/or will be in a good state by the end of next year.
Just what I said. What is now being sold as Ice Lake has nothing to do with the 10nm process Intel originally announced - and kept announcing it every quarter.
Not to mention, it took AMD almost 1,5 years to release Vega (in very low volume) after the first prototype came back.

Well, there certainly is a comprehension, and/or selective perception problem. Maybe you should examine your own posts. In an unusual moment of rationality and a lull in his usual anti-intel rants, Charlie himself admitted he was wrong, and I posted the direct quote. No ambiguity there.Is it just me, or more and more people are really struggling to comprehend complex English sentences and to put them in the proper context?

Charlie said they had killed the first iteration of 10nm because they set unrealistic expectations (and looks like he's right considering the anemic volumes of Cannon Lake CPUs parts of which Intel couldn't even bin enough of to enable their iGPU). Ice Lake U CPUs are produced using a "relaxed" 10nm+ node.
Intel denied 10nm+ is a relaxed process?That settles it!He was dead wrong and he knows it. Also the relaxed 10+ was denied by Intel, it was wrong as well.
INTEL has moved to quash speculation that its first 10nm chips could be pushed back even further than the second half of 2017, after already delaying them from this year.The chipmaker had planned to introduce the first family of 10nm processors sometime in late 2016. However, technical challenges encountered in shrinking transistors to ever smaller scales led to the launch being delayed until the second half of 2017.
Speculation about a further delay was sparked by a recent job vacancy posted on Intel's website. The listing was spotted by journalists at investor website The Motley Fool and implied that Intel will not begin mass production of 10nm components until two years after the posting date.
This would not seem to be much of a problem, but Intel has responded by contacting the site with a statement that the job listing was incorrect, and reaffirming that the first 10nm products are still scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2017.
This 10nm is alive and OK talk reminds me of the opposite of the Shakespearean quote. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Well, we have the same name, but it doesn't smell as sweetIs it just me, or more and more people are really struggling to comprehend complex English sentences and to put them in the proper context?
