And what is that TDP? That's the question we don't know.We're talking about the highest end TDP configuration. And that should easily compete/beat 4070M, thanks to IC. In essence, what Strix Point Halo needs to do to compete or beat 4070M is to achieve 6850M performance.
You mean if/when China is able to produce chips on latest node using only China developed tech?
Yeah, I think you're right. Just saw this related news:The node that Chinese can deliver, they will deliver much lower cost (which is my prediction),. By doing so, preserving one aspect of Moore's law.
Eh...Yeah, I think you're right. Just saw this related news:
Chip price war unfolds as Chinese foundries cut tape-out prices — Taiwan and South Korean foundries face new price pressures: Report

Good luck with that, in case those aren't live on time or don't perform as advertised. Then we may suddenly find ourselves in "totally unexpected" chip shortages again.China-based foundries cutting down their tape-out quotes and production prices even before they install all the tools they procured and build all the fabs they are constructing
If something happens to TSMC, it will only be a matter of time before Samsung is also impacted by geopolitics. Their only real option would be IFS, unless IBM/GloFo somehow enter the picture. Japan wouldn't be a safe place for chip fabrication either.but wasn't there speculation that AMD might do a Zen 5 product or two at Samsung, as a dual source just in case?
AMD has recently decided to remove Taiwan branding from their CPUs. Maybe in preparation for dual sourcing from elsewhere like Samsung?wasn't there speculation that AMD might do a Zen 5 product or two at Samsung, as a dual source just in case?
No other option than Samsung, unless they want to use IFS, but I don't believe Intel has capacity to spare.AMD has recently decided to remove Taiwan branding from their CPUs. Maybe in preparation for dual sourcing from elsewhere like Samsung?
AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn't made to appease China
The 'Made in Malaysia' markings will remain, though.www.tomshardware.com
That could be the beginning of the end for AMD.No other option than Samsung
Dual-sourcing from Samsung will spell the end of AMD? What are you smoking Igor?That could be the beginning of the end for AMD.
No but if only Samsung is left for them after TSMC goes down, they'll be in BIIIGGGGG trouble! Sub-par silicon with bad yields. Lisa Su will be on all fours on the Samsung fab floor looking for good dies and throwing them left and right and screaming expletivesDual-sourcing from Samsung will spell the end of AMD?
Nah, AMD buys Samsung foundry business, make it perform and voilà, back to an AMD with fabsNo but if only Samsung is left for them after TSMC goes down, they'll be in BIIIGGGGG trouble!

120W.And what is that TDP?
No.Maybe in preparation for dual sourcing from elsewhere like Samsung?
Specifically Sonoma Valley (said to be Zen 5c based Mendocino successor) is rumoured to be at Samsung.wasn't there speculation that AMD might do a Zen 5 product or two at Samsung, as a dual source just in case?
Yeah it's SF4X.Specifically Sonoma Valley (said to be Zen 5c based Mendocino successor) is rumoured to be at Samsung.
Intel (unironically).What's AMD's post-TSMC-badaboom-dust plan?
It would only work if the US Chamber of Commerce or w/ever forces Intel to separate the fabs for national security reasons which obviously won't happen unless TSM stuff gets bombed.You make sense! YAY!
What do you mean after? If TSMC goes down then most likely shipping from Korea won't look so hot either.No but if only Samsung is left for them after TSMC goes down, they'll be in BIIIGGGGG trouble! Sub-par silicon with bad yields. Lisa Su will be on all fours on the Samsung fab floor looking for good dies and throwing them left and right and screaming expletives
Zen 5 processors being in mass production doesn’t mean they are just around the corner. If we look back at Ryzen 7000 CPUs, rumors about mass production were floating around in March 2022, before the desktop chips were released in September – so the first rumblings came some six months ahead of time.
That means Zen 5 (Ryzen 8000 or 9000) CPUs might just turn up in July, or just after, and this aligns with what we’ve heard more recently on the rumor mill about a likely Q3 launch timeframe (July to September). Historically, it’s more likely to be later in the quarter, than midyear (July), and the other factor to bear in mind is that AMD isn’t exactly going to feel rushed by Intel’s (theoretical) progress with its next-gen processors.
It's April.Seems predictions for Zen5 launch is July or later in Q3
