Intel Quits the High End Market

[~>Dg<~]

crying at the clickbailt. then humug in with benchmarks .

We can't show you how far behind Intel is in our Cinebench chart because the scale doesn't drop down that low..."

OMG, I got tears in my eyes...

Meanwhile over at AMD: "And here we our new 5nm We can't show you how far behind Intel is in our Cinebench chart because the scale doesn't drop down that low..."

You guys are brutal.

We've seen this before, back in the days of the first AMD x64 chips and AMD doing with 2ghz what Intel was trying to do with 4ghz and huge power draws with their Pentium4. Intel eventually came back with Core2 and AMD spent another decade in the doldrums. It probably didn't help with the Intel C Compilers being a bit evil when running code on AMD chips... and the Spectre/Meltdown patches that reduced the old Intel chips advantages... but... winning is winning right? I like the fact AMD is winning right now... so when do we all swap to ARM cpu PCs?

Is that his normal voice? It's unbearable.

So not currently competitive equals intel leaving high end cpu market?

So did AMD “leave” the high end market for a decade.

It is funny watching people from each side been triggered.

But good to see that VIA are still plugging along.
Any day now, any day.

I'd have liked a Ryzen 5800 to go with my 3080, though there are none in stock anywhere, weeks after launch. This is because AMD can't afford their own fabs, they're at the mercy of how many wafers TSMC decide to give them each quarter. Must be frustrating, having the best CPU design, but not able to make enough of them

I've been reading how AMD are contractually obligated to give 80% of their wafer allocation to PS5/Xbox, Ryzen and Radeon just get the scraps, hence paper launch and terrible stock. Given the demand for these consoles, I imagine the 80% obligation will continue throughout 2021 and 2022

I'll probably have to go for a Rocket Lake 11th gen CPU, as Intel' have their own fabs and so infinitely more stock that AMD can manage. Rocket lake will probably take back AMD's gaming performance crown anyway, that just leaves the 'special' people who play Cinebench as a game to enjoy that content.

It's been in stock for a while...

Yea AMD did leave the high end market, just like Intel have

By bye Intel

AMD doesn't sit on its laurels

coming in Q1, 3rd generation EPYC CPUs: 128 Zen 3 cores at 280w tdp, 288mb L3 cache and 4ghz boost clock

Intels server ice lake is DOA before it's even announced

128 Core Milan Server Shatters All Hope Intel Had For Ice Lake

Intel still has a lot of banknotes left to cry into.

Apple threw a bunch of money at making cpus and got something done which was different and good.
