I am also going to also point out that Zen 4 could potentially mark the first product from AMD that's heavily affected by their financial success of Zen 2.
Only HDMI 2.0b? Disappointing, do you know of any designs with HDMI 2.1?I don't know your full list of needs, but the Asus Zephyrus M16 is similar to the Razer Blade Advanced 15 but with 11% more vertical screen resolution will function as a much more productive workstation. It still has the gaming capabilities too.
Unfortunately, that is beyond my knowledge. Razor Blades tend to have HDMI 2.1, but the Razer Blade Advanced 15 posted above doesn't specify the HDMI version number.
Gen12 only supports 2.0b so for 2.1 you would need a design that isn't using Optimus.
We certainly need better reviews. That second slide graphing TDP vs performance is pure garbage. Everybody knows TDP is not the same as power consumption (as you already said). Then the third slide, which is some kind of summary, concludes "Higer (sic) Performance but Higer Power", but no power numbers are shown. In fact TL appears very competitive in all the metrics except encoding, as far as performance goes. But they dont show power numbers in any of the slides, and also make it confusing by switching among different cpu models, for both AMD and Intel.
My question: If you could take 3 things you know today but didn't know 3 years ago back in time 3 years, how would this knowledge have changed or not have changed the direction of Intel as a company?
I would prefer to go with an RTX 3060 or higher. The only ones I saw on their side were 3050ti models. I am going to wait a bit for reviews, obviously, but right now the new Razer laptop leads the pack. The 16" ASUS model is tempting, however.
When I say cancellations, I mean COMPLETE cancellations. as in Rocket Lake getting completely canceled. If only a partial launch happens, Intel can usually still make bucket loads.
Almost certainly because of higher core counts, rather than anything particular to Zen 4.
For 56 Golden Cove cores with SPR at 350W vs 96 Zen 4 cores (also top end SKU is rumoured to be 320W for Genoa, not 350W+).
I think Apple's A15 is using the same N5P as AMD. This will bottleneck Zen4 chiplet output; so AMD is wise to wait.
Most of the A15 volume should be in the year before Zen 4 launches, starting roughly this summer. N4 might also interfere a bit, but they might as well launch what they can when it's ready.
I agree on most of what you said, but most definitely not on Cannon Lake help in whipping 10nm in shape. The only reason it was released was to not get sued by the stockholders as they had commited a while ago to "ship for revenue" 10nm in 2017. Ian himself has all but confirmed it.
Not only did they attempt to erase the original 10nm from people's minds, they also took down the product page for Cannon Lake as well. The 8121U is still up, but click on the "products formerly Cannon Lake" and you get a 404.

It has to be included from a TDP perspective, there's no going around that. However, TDP increase from FIVR shouldn't be a problem from the user's perspective. As long as heat dissipation at socket level isn't an issue, the savings we get in terms of simplified power delivery at the motherboard level are definitely worth it.
I'm thinking more in terms of what is being measured when comparing between Intel and AMD. Or even Comet Lake to Tiger Lake. Package power vs platform power, basically.
If you want to normalize power usage between 2 different CPUs then you have to account for everything different inside the package. This includes both voltage regulation and chipset features. I believe the H platform still uses an external PCH.
In Tigerlake-U, the 4 cores take up 45mm2 or so. Tigerlake-H is already 190mm2. Just the addition of full Xe LP will make it 210mm2. The Gracemont clusters themselves are going to add 20-25mm2 minimum.
I don't think so. Nothing substitutes real world experience. So by actually getting it to a point where they can ship few units, they'd get actual feedback on what to do.
That's my guess too.
They've enhanced the IPU IP on Tigerlake-H. They haven't done it on previous -H products.
I actually believe that leak where Zen 4 is 30% faster per clock. Genoa will end up being twice as fast as Milan which will keep everyone in check(ARM, Power, Intel).
Empty silicon has nothing to do with Keller. It's simply a result of having flexibility in design.
Genoa is a year and a half away according to leaks, not months away. Sapphire Rapids is launching this year. It will not be competing with Zen 4, it will be competing with Milan.
As mentioned above, we keep getting rumors that AMD isn't pushing out Genoa/Zen 4 until a year and a half from now (H2 2022, likely Q4). Zen 4 won't be competing with Sapphire Rapids, Ice Lake SP, or Alder Lake. It will be competing against their successors. At that point, assuming Intel has no further delays with 7nm (lol yeah right), Intel will be just months away from launching it's first 7nm products. Basically they both will remain in lockstep from a process perspective. AMD will not have a lead on the process any longer. They will have to compete purely on the architecture.
Good, but not astounded.
Nothing to it. Intel themselves said up to 20%. Let's say the clocks go down so the average is 15%, but 20% improvement in perf/clock.
