GPUs & CPUs & Enthusiast hardware: Questions, Discussion and fanboy slap-fights - Nvidia & AMD & Intel - Separe but Equal. Intel rides in the back of the bus.

Videocardz reports that the reason for the unexpected delay in AMD's launch is because the wrong number was printed on some of the chips. They work fine and the chip number is one that doesn't actually exist (Ryzen 9 9700x) but they didn't want that to go out.

I thought this was too silly to be true but then Ian Cutress backed it up and he's pretty reputable imo, so... LOL?

Got to love that AMD is holding back chips because of a typo on the lid whilst in the same month Intel is refusing to recall chips that literally burn themselves out.

I'm old enough to remember when the 1337 gamers wouldn't touch AMD processors with a 10ft pole. How the turns table!

We can't know for sure that's the only issue, but it does look like a good fit.

AMD's official statement earlier this week said, "We identified an issue with our packaged product testing process for Ryzen 9000 series processors that could result in a small number of parts reaching the market that do not meet our quality standards," so it's possible that the erroneous markings may not be the only issue. However, it is undoubtedly a contributing factor. It's also possible that not all of the shipped units are impacted by the erroneous markings — this could only impact certain batches. However, it appears there are enough impacted units to have contributed to AMD's delayed launch schedule.

Pshh, people loved barton because it could OC so well, then AMD when to shit when the phenom hit. I had a phenom II 965 BE before switching to a 2500k and have been intel since. 2500k is in the closet for a backup for my sever or firewall.

Amazing what your competitor directing $300m away from R&D and into diversity initiatives will do.

Lets not forget all the R&D thats based in israel.

Intel plans to cut thousands of jobs to finance recovery, Bloomberg News reports https://archive.is/wip/hOtoI
(Reuters) - Intel plans to cut thousands of jobs to finance a recovery and cope with losing market share to rivals, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Shares of the chipmaker, which is set to report quarterly results on Thursday, were up about 1% in extended trading. The stock has slumped 40% so far this year.

The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

It's interesting that 10 years of running a virtual monopoly left them so incompetent that mass axing is now the best way forward.

Pretty wild that Intel has chosen to abandon the ONE advantage they had: Being an integrated manufacturer, in an attempt to save the company.

Having your own fabs, and being able to tweak the process to get the last couple of percent out of a CPU design brings an advantage that they’re willingly throwing away.

I think we may see the end of Intel and the US being a major player in fabrication.

Without the huge margins they had on fabbing their own chips and being #1 in performance, I doubt that Intel will have the cash necessary to compete in sub 7nm fabrication.

Just give it five years and they’ll become yet another design house that has their chips made by TSMC and Samsung. Their fabs will be bought by Blackrock or the chinks.

Guess DEI didn’t work out for them.

I sincerely hope not. I hope they actually learn from their shortfalls and massive mistakes with 13th and 14th gen. That and I don't think the government will "let" them fail that hard. I love my 12th gen i9 12900k core. The thing kicks ass and plays anything, literally anything. It's a power hog but it gets results. I'm not believing the doomsaying until I see it happen. Until they ARE a design house, I think intel can rebound with enough grit and hard work.

The thing I want to ask at work that will get me in massive trouble if I do is, if DEI is such a benefit, how come TSMC, which has zero black people anywhere on the island, was able to pull ahead of Intel after Intel won a diversity award in I think 2017? (Not Googling it.) How come becoming the most diverse company in tech didn't cause Intel to leave TSMC in the dust, instead of TSMC closing the gap, then leaving Intel behind?

Vertical integration only remains an advantage so long as you can compete on all fronts. When you fall behind enough in one aspect, it becomes a drag on your entire operation. AMD used to have their own foundries, then they divested GlobalFoundries.

When they say "benefit" they mean a personal benefit to you, like paid sick days. Working among niggers does wonders for your mental health and you should cherish it, chud.

Perhaps they ought to have focused DEI efforts on recruiting Taiwanese engineers.

Don’t fall for TSMC’s chink tricks and naming schemes.

It’s fairly recently that Intel has fallen behind. Size wise, TSMC’s “7nm” is pretty close to Intel’s 14 nm node.

But yeah, these last couple of years Intel has definitely fallen behind.

And unlike TSMC, they don’t have a whole lot of different customers, which will make it even harder to afford the kind of multibillion dollar investments they need.

Fat luck.

If you come from an orderly society from places like Shanghai or Taipei, in most cases there’s not enough money in the world to convince you to move to a far left, nigger infested shithole like Oregon or California.

Many of the chinks who do, only come there for 5-10 years. Just enough time to save up some money and steal some industrial secrets before they return to China.

So what CPU should I be aiming for a laptop?

I hear really good stuff about Stryx Point, AMD’s latest SOC, but supposedly Intels new Core Ultra is also really good.

Any nerds want to chime in?
