If you check their UEFI BIOS, they have some adaptive battery life "secret" sauce.
If you check their UEFI BIOS, they have some adaptive battery life "secret" sauce.In general Dell seem to have done something or another on the firmware side, all of their ADL laptops have been much more impressive than their competitors on battery life. Not sure what it is they've done, but they've clearly done _something_ right.
So you're expecting SPR to match Genoa? Alright man.Yes, I agree. But I blame that on Buggy Bios, Buggy MB and plain old Buggy ES Sample SPR.
Still 90,000 for a 2S System(96C/192T) it's pretty average, there has to be more room for performance, I want 120,000+ on release date.
I don't know about you but I'd personally want to make assumptions on this once someone does some more in-depth testing on power at varying clock speeds. I'd do it myself like I did for RDNA2 but I haven't seen an A380 on sale in the UK yet...
Different games/workloads can require different levels of power for the same clock, even if the GPU reports 100% usage. It's the reason why I chose TimeSpy GT2 very specifically when I did the RDNA2 testing a while back - even more so than GT1 I found that it was the heaviest test I could run.I was mainly talking about the clock speed wall, the upper clock speed limit of Xe LP on Intel 7 is low compared to AMD iGPUs. With Xe HPG and TSMC 6nm they upped the clock speed wall by about 50%. The Asrock A380 challenger has a GPU power limit of 55W which is enough for a GPU clock of 2450 Mhz. Mobile A370M requires 30-32W at 2200 Mhz if it's fully utilized.

That's why I'm saying I'd wait until you can get a proper power/frequency curve in a specific workload you can compare to other architectures.
"Intel's recently delayed its Sapphire Rapids launch again, with the chips now slated to arrive in 2023. Gelsinger remarked that while the new chips are 'better than the AMD alternatives" in power and performance and will win in some benchmarks, the advantages aren't dramatic enough to slow AMD's advance.
He might still be comparing to Milan. That, or something that makes heavy use of either SPR's accelerators or AMX. Doesn't really matter though; everyone knows SPR won't be competitive in the general market with Genoa.This quote below, I just don't get, tell me what I am missing. AMD has it all over SR, Milan does and Genoa is even better yet.
If it's right, that's not good in all sorts of ways. Shipping RWC in 2024 when LNC was supposed to be ready for '23? That's a bad look in its own right, and then there's the reality check on what RWC is...this twitter account got some details right about the Zen 4 architecture before the announcement but still take it with a grain of salt
If that's what his comment means, then he is absolutely, 100% BSing. "I'm THE SOURCE" my butt! Royal has nothing to do with either Lion Cove or Panther Cove. That I can say with complete certainty.Interesting. He's saying Royal Core project starts from Lion Cove. That's pretty exciting. Arrowlake is the first.

he also says LNC design was finalized early this year. how long does it usually take from the core design being finalized to release?If it's right, that's not good in all sorts of ways.

Best case scenario: 4 years, unless AI has really sped things up.he also says LNC design was finalized early this year. how long does it usually take from the core design being finalized to release?
If this is all they could manage, then I'm not convinced it was the better decision.Yea that tells us how bad the original Granite Rapids would have been if they said porting to Intel 3 ended up being a much better decision despite coming later than expected.
Tbh, I think it's just some "leakers" parroting each other in the hope one of them actually knows what they're talking about. But that falls apart completely when they do not.With two camps saying they are absolutely right(even though I lean on you being correct) they are doing a good job hiding secrets.
Depends what you mean by finalized. RTL complete? Val complete? PD/SD complete? Taped out? Regardless, I think the product roadmap would be much more insightful, and in that regard, it seems that Lion Cove will arrive in Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake sometime in 2024.he also says LNC design was finalized early this year. how long does it usually take from the core design being finalized to release?
Ugh, I think that discussion is better left buried.Taped in!!!!!

(nobody knows what that means)
Oh, somehow I missed this part. Link to the tweet in question.@Exist50 When asked about LNC not being Royal Core the twitter guy few posts above says Royal Core Project is a PROJECT not a core and it encompasses more than one generation.
Are you Jim Keller? Coz you are way too sure about this.I know I'm being redundant, but this is 100% wrong. Royal will be a new core, and the start of a new series, but one that has nothing to do with LNC, PNC, etc.
Hah, I wish. But nah, I'm no insider. Remember what I said about most of my knowledge being people-centric? Well it's pretty darn hard to hide the fact that they've created a whole new(?) CPU team. Nor do some of these "leakers" set a high bar to beat.Are you Jim Keller? Coz you are way too sure about this.
Anyone special in that team? Like ex-Apple, ex-AMD?Well it's pretty darn hard to hide the fact that they've created a whole new(?) CPU team.
In terms of names people would recognize from other companies, none that I'm aware of. The foundational architecture team seems to mostly be Intel old guard that were wandering around corporate no-man's-land for a while. Some from the Willamette days. Some more from Intel Labs. One or two hired from academia. A couple emerging from retirement. Etc. Though that said, the team's apparently been growing a lot (as they'd really have to to ship a core), and I don't have a clear picture on where all the new hires are coming from, so maybe there's someone there.Anyone special in that team? Like ex-Apple, ex-AMD?
Is RoyalCore a radical departure from an x86 approach like GoldenCove? RoyalCore is expected to raise IPC significantly?Oh, somehow I missed this part. Link to the tweet in question.

Here you go: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-royal-core-project-to-improve-x86-architecture-efficencyIs RoyalCore a radical departure from an x86 approach like GoldenCove? RoyalCore is expected to raise IPC significantly?
I'll summarize as simply "yes".Is RoyalCore a radical departure from an x86 approach like GoldenCove? RoyalCore is expected to raise IPC significantly?
I really wouldn't quote MLID on any of this. He's clueless.
This is the second time I see you discredit MLID here. What make you or anyone here more believable than them? He has been posting pretty accurate info and has inside sources on both camp.I really wouldn't quote MLID on any of this. He's clueless.
But you gotta credit him for going to so much trouble to make stuff look credibleI really wouldn't quote MLID on any of this. He's clueless.
