Whats stopping them from shipping high volume 10nm server parts then?
Are the new SF features also going to be found in Intel's 7nm nodes? Is it likely the first 7nm won't have the SF features?
Weren't there rumors that the end of 2021 was the drop dead date for Aurora? If not, perhaps the DOE should consider dropping Intel and goi
I would not say Charlie has been "accurate". More like the title of his rag "semi-accurate". He seem to go by the theory that if you spread enough FUD, some if it will come true.
He's been pretty spot on so far regarding Intel's 10nm delay.
They are struggling with 10nm process sure. It's not like their problem will be solved if they go for chiplets as long as the base process sucks.
He also said 10nm has been canned.
I recall he stated over a year ago that the current 10nm on the roadmap was canned and the new 10nm will be nothing like what they originally advertised.
Here are the old articles.
Why SemiAccurate called 10nm wrong
A few months ago SemiAccurate claimed Intel killed their 10nm process, we were wrong.www.semiaccurate.comIntel kills off the 10nm process
SemiAccurate has learned that Intel just pulled the plug on their woeful 10nm process.www.semiaccurate.com
I think people can judge themselves how accurate or inaccurate they were.
BTW, his latest tweet is scary.
regarding when Intel will be competitive in servers again.
"2025 best case"
Is there a reason for BGA devices to have more pins than the LGA variants? 6700K / 1151 and the 6820HK / 1440 etc
Tiger Lake SuperFin is currently reaching 4.8GHz. Considering that is a mobile part with a low power envelope it seems as though Intel's 10nm SuperFin is doing pretty well, right?
Sunny Cove at 4.8GHz would most likely beat Skylake at 5.3GHz in many applications so I can only assume they are going another round at 14+++ because they don't have 10nm SuperFin capacity for mobile and desktop at this point in time.
. . . that might be true, but I see no reason why Intel would even think about Sunny Cove on 10SF (or 10SFE).
Of course all of this is being "forced" by Zen3 to a degree.
Also, could it be that Sunny Cove is more finely tuned at this point to reach higher frequencies than Willow Cove?
Ok, only 6 points more for 5.5ghz Rocket Lake or 600mhz higher CPU frequency.IPC is very impresive......................vs Zen 3/4.9ghz
Where did he say it was running at 5.5 Ghz?
If this RKL ST score is true, situation might change a bit but not that much(less core, potentially high power drain and high cost), I hope Xe IGP with 4-6 cores SKUs would have a better value than APUs because it's very likely that mid-range is the only segment RKL can shine.Ok, only 6 points more for 5.5ghz Rocket Lake or 600mhz higher CPU frequency.IPC is very impresive......................vs Zen 3/4.9ghz

OTOH seems there's almost no IPC loss when doing backport to 14nm.
If RKL is somewhat competitive with Zen3 then Intel can make the product "better" by lowering cost.
As Anand used to say, "There are no bad products, only bad price points."
