Yeah on one hand its (finally) a big jump from 14nm. Onoh their 10nm node is clearly still way behind TSMC's 7nm+. Still the fact they are beating Zen 3 on a worse process is impressive in itself, its just efficiency on ADL is pretty bad when compared to AMD's latest. Still its a return to form from Intel and makes me excited to see what they capable of doing on 7nm and better. The one major advantage of using in-house chips is that hey don't have to rely on TSMC's capacity to fulfill their orders so they can pump these out in volume. |
AFAIK Intel's 10 nm node has a comparable density to TSMCs's 7 nm processes.
Personally, I'm leaning to Intel's processors simply being too much of a power hog compared to Ryzen, no matter where they are produced.
