Intel CEO says the industry should stop using benchmarks

They'd need to deliver some impressive increases or changes to actually be able to feel an increase in day to day use - at least you can see increases in benchmark results.

You only to have to look at areas where benchmarks are less common (e.g. Hifi Audio) and it quickly becomes a "but it feels better" situation without any tangible proof.
 
He is saying those words, but all I hear is "we can't really improve on overall raw power of Skylake design except in few specific instructions/tasks that are not usually present in benchmarks"
 
Intel in we are losing badly shocker and don't want anyone to notice.

Our new i12 119999000kfprkk feels better than the arm chip in your phone becuase it uses 876watts at a tdp of 500....

Translation:

"Guys stop with the benchmarking, it is making us look bad! m'kay?"

But more seriously surely benchmarks are required to validate the "benefits and impacts of the technology we create". I mean if we want to see how efficient your new processors are then we need to, oooh I don't know, benchmark against the competition / previous generations..
 
Things must be bad for the foreseeable with Intels product line up. Sounds like they’re completely throwing in the towel!

Ya, that really is what it sounds like.
Computer performances have always been based on metrics. There is no such thing as how a CPU “feel”.

I think intel should abandon their architectural approach and take a leaf out of AMD’s design approach that way at least they can make some cheap multi core workhorses and cement the budget market and refine their 7nm or 5nm (whatever they are trying to do) fabrication process to target AMD in 3yrs times.

AMD obviously tried to make the chiplet design work in the pre-zen CPUs but failed hard. But the concept was sound, highly scalable and simple architecture

Are they going to stop paying benchmark sites to change metrics to suit their CPUs or even pay for google search listings? Probably not. Haha.

By the looks of it, Intel have ran out of plausible (even implausible) benchmarks that they win with.
 
That's like an employee telling their manager not to look at their performance figures against colleagues doing the exact same role and hours.

I agree that the way some benchmarks are carried out is shocking and not consistent, but there are plenty that are fair and show real world performance and what you'll be getting for your cash.

Let's humour the guy and look at the "benefits" instead of the benchmarks as he suggests - PCIe 4, socket longevity, price.

AMD still wins.

Indeed, benefits like halfing the time taken to render on an amd platform, versus the inability to tell the difference when gaming at 1440p and 4k?
They badly lose in that too
 
Arrogance gone mad is what that is. Rather than Intel change the market has to change around them to accommodate them. jokers.
