Zen 3D V-Cache Ryzen CPUs May be Available in December 2021

AMDs success is really down to TSMC. Their Gpus while good only match Nvidia on a far worse Samsung node and they also have a node advantage against Intel.

If China invades Taiwan then what happens to AMD?

The fact little Johnny won't be getting an Xbox for Christmas if China invades Taiwan is the last the thing we should all worry about in such a situation.

I don't where you getting this assumption that Samsung's process is 'far worse' then TSMC, Ampere draws many parallels to GNC in terms of design rationale which is focused around the data centre. Cramming all those cores into the chip creates issues with utilisation and occupancy which has meant Nvidia having to ramp up the core clocks resulting in the GPU having a massive power draw and using GDDR6X isn't helping matters either in terms of efficiency. None of those things have anything to do with Samsung's process, if they tried to build a GA102 at TSMC if would cost Nvidia a lot of more money to make meaning even more expensive GPU's (Nvidia won't accept a lower margin product).

According to Intel their Intel 7 is equivalent to TSMC 7nm.

TSMC 7nm+ Can squeeze in almost 50% more transistors per mm2 over Samsung 8nm so it's not a supprise it's by far the more power efficient node and the reason Nvidia avoided it and went with TSMC when making the data center cards.

As you say Nvidia went with Samsung to wring out the most profits and they have certainly done that, power efficiency was of little concern.

I don’t think Nvidia will have much choice from this point on. The competition is very strong and they don’t the same supply constraints.

I am just happy to see that they are going back to TSMC.

Cool, Intel graphics should kick arse then.

Pretty sure architecture has something to do with it, no ?

 

[humbug]

So Why are Intel's 10nm CPU's half the performance at twice the power consumption of AMD's?

 

[pete910]

Because 10 is higher that 7

 

[humbug]

[jigger]

Because AMD node what they’re doing

Sorry I’ll get my coat

 

[Cyber-Mav]

So Why are Intel's 10nm CPU's half the performance at twice the power consumption of AMD's?

Because of node disadvantage

 

[jigger]

LOL, best joke of the night.

 

[Grim5]

i hate these marketing terms can you guys please switch to transistor density instead "7nm" and "10nm" doesn't mean anything.

If you look at transistor density first and then compare that to the marketing name you'll see that tsmc "7nm" has the same density as Intel's "10nm" and Samsung's "8nm" has the same density as TSMCs "10nm".

The reason Intel is behind is because their architecture doesn't scale well with more cores and their process node doesn't have a good failure rate.

The reason AMD is so close to Nvidia in GPus is because TSMC's "7nm" has a nearly 50% higher transistor density than Samsung's "8nm" - and if you looked at density first and compared like for you like you'd more easily see why that is

We lost that war to marketing guys. Just look what marketing has done Cyber-Mav. He seems to genuinely believe what he’s saying.

Which 10nm CPUs are we looking at as Alderlake seems to be faster than Ryzen 5000 core for core?

lolwut

You couldn’t make this up. Epic conflict of the mind.

those benchmarks posted few pages back showing alderlake i3 to be faster than 5900x.

Haha, this is comedy gold. It’s like watching a pair clowns torturing each other.
