and less than half of AMD's.
oh how the times change...
there was point that would of been something nobody believe.
It's almost like they didn't innovate or increase core counts for a decade because they had no competition. Sitting on your laurels only gets you one thing in the business world...disaster.
while this is true...that isnt even related to current intel issues. Doesnt matter if they kept pushing everything if they had these issues same thing woiuld of happened.
called Intel never re-did their mentality the way AMD did (even if AMD had to do so out of desperation w/ ZEN).
Intel's mentality is always more power more speed makes numbers go bigger to point it became a meme.
A bug finally caused it to become an issue & the widespreadness of it is going to be a bad medicine.
Even when Intel adds more cores now they still lose vs AMD in server (i forget which one it was but i recall intel released a XEON that had more cores than a epyc, cost more than the epyc thats been out for yr or 2, yet performed worse)
Intel felt punishment for the core stagnation but that was long ago & they recovered after in a few yrs.
On the GPU side they are "fine". 1st gen had issues but they worked most of the mout & hopefully 2nd gen is able to compete vs nvidias low end (as 60 tier is a joke and we need alternative in raytracing which amd sadly doesnt have)
Anyway, x86 needs to go away, this tech is obsolete/bloated/ugly/inefficient AF. Time to stop doubling down.
and it'll stay around due to that exact thing.
many important systems rely on it. Cost to change it for many doesnt make sense & to home end users it makes no sense until you see devs of alternatives fully support it.
x86's backward compat & "it just works" is why it has stayed for so long.
Yes, it is harmful long term, but its benefit is seen as "worth it".
Nothing to do with the 13th and 14th gen processors "melting"?
dying not melting & it would impact it but not this much. This wasnt intels 1st time having issues about cpu's. (the issue around the specter/meltdown yrs was much much worse than this and barely effected their value)
Intel straight up stated its cutting jobs & stuff due to bad sales, issues w/ its latest mobile chips (as in yield of actual chips) & a bad forcast for profit coming up.
thats the stuff investors see & go "oh they are admitting to issues so think its time to get out of here for a bit" & thats when you lose value.
Didn't they also strip hyperthreading from i7s at one point?
and plan remove it on upcoming chips...which isnt 100% a bad thing as it has benefits. (especially if they keep core counts high like do w/ their e-p core chips) Biggest one is less power req which for intel is a big thing.
