Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD, First Time in Three Years

The situation in Taiwan is quite normal - the reported new cases for February 6th, are.... err... 1 https://www.google.com/search?q=cor...1.69i57j0l9.4847j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

For a comparison - more than 100,000 new cases in the U.S alone.

TSMC shouldn't be hit so hard, I don't understand why the U.S and Intel fabs remain open and making chips, while Taiwan cannot meet the demand.

Probably because like most things their product relies on a chain of resources and chances one or more of those is affected. Just cause Taiwan is fine doesn't mean the countries it buys its resources from to make processors is fine

Taiwan, China and Japan all have something in common - massive manufacturing hubs that can't supply their own materials and must rely on a global supply chain

Alder Lake also launching 2H 2021, which is likely to be the next 'sandy bridge' moment for Intel, where they leafrog AMD.

Rocket Lake will ok but I really I don't like the Alder Lake design. Intel have taken ques from ARM and mobile chips using a mixture of big/small cores which I honestly can't see how that benefits desktop users who require outright performance not cores built around saving power.

It sounds strange users require, didn't users say they need? Saving power is very important and is done all the time by shrinking to more modern manufacturing processes?
This mixture won't get the performance crown but at least will give the users 24 threads which no Intel mainstream APU has given yet.

And the die size will be smaller, while the small cores will still be as fast as Skylake big cores.

............ while the small cores will still be as fast as Skylake big cores.

I'll believe when it see it but I'm happy to be proven wrong if it means we get a genuine advance in technology.

Magic, intel fans will say big.little makes sense on desktop because magic, they have no tangible actual answers - it just a case of "I'm right because I said so"
