EricHiggin said: At this point in time, if AMD can still remain substantially cheaper at 7nm 8 core, it should be enough to hold off Intel at 10nm 8 core, even if those Intel chips still perform slightly better. As long as AMD doesn't drag 8 core out too long, and keep at least a year ahead of Intel with upping the core count, they should be ok. |
AMD still has an IPC and clockspeed deficit with Intel.
It's just at a point where it's inconsequential to most users.
I want to see 12 cores at a minimum within the next couple of years. 8 Cores is great... But has been accessible to us peasants for years.
EricHiggin said: I wonder what's going to happen when Intel introduces their GPU's around 2020? 14nm GPU's? |
By 2020 Intel should have more manufacturing spun up. Or they might produce them at TSMC/Samsung.
