(Sorry, you know I am just kidding about the Schmuck thing — just sounded funny).
We had a briefing from Intel and they have already surpassed AMD again. All of the gains regarding L2/L3/L4 cache is out the door — they are releasing CPU’s that now have all of that memory PLUS DRAM sitting on the CPU, not using a memory controller and therefore not incurring any of the overhead. In addition, they are making disk (SSD) IO directly addressable by the CPU, again bypassing a block controller (ie., a disk controller).
I fear, my friend, that AMD jsut no longer has what it takes. I have numerous friends here in Austin that work(ed) at AMD and they keep laying off the chip designers. CPU’s are no longer making them money — only the GPU’s. They were even dumb enough (like Freescale) to spin off the Memory group — and guess who is making tons of cash making solid state memory??? Not AMD.
I will pray for your CPU-soul to return to the Intel-light. Go toward the light, go toward the light, go toward ……………..
I hate Intel with a passion, although I would be crazy to say they wernt the top dog. Intel are the biggest bullies on gods earth. They have bought and suppressed so much tech its ridiculous. I hope they get outed one day doing there shady deals and they collapse.
AMD better keep making stuff as its literally the entire reason why Intel doesnt charge 700$ for a old I7.
I know the L2 L3 cache is all in one part in the next gen, that was the HBM link I posted.
So while Intel will still use DDR 4, no matter how many controllers they use the distance will be 100 of times further still.
But a perfect example of AMD making Intel have to brng down cost is there GPU`s. They came and beat Invidia badly. 960 which was less powerful than the 380 ATI was more expensive by 40$. So buying a 980 card was a 500$ affair.
Well look what happend, Intel is now selling a card that is faster than the fastest card out now costing 900$ for 349 next year. All because AMD schooled them.
So even for you Intel lovers, AMD is a must.
Explain how Intel is going to have the advantage? AMD has Hyperthreading in its next design and from a engineer standpoint, HBM will be faster than anything with normal ram or cache. And while I thought this was going to be more hype, I read reviews from guys who were intel lovers, and when they see the HBM and new CPU stuff even they are impressed. Also, Intel is losing badly in the CPU economy market.
Think about this. For Crysis or Battlefield or any other solid Multicore game. For 170$ I can buy a chip that runs 120 FPS at max settings, rather than paying 400 or 500 for a I7. Yes the I7 is better, but I cant tell the diff in those games TBH. I have seen many comparisons and TBH the CPU means little at there levels, it all comes down to the GPU. Even WOWS runs amazingly fast compare to WOT.
Price per performance isnt even close. Esp since the guys who buy these unlocked AMD`s are getting 6 ghz overclocks which does blow the doors off anything but a 5ghz I7. All for 170 $..Lol
Pretty awesome, even if AMD is in trouble. Also I think in the next 10 years CPU/GPU will become the same. I think we will buy APU`s that are powerful enough for everthing. Especially with HBM. TBH HBM should have come long ago, but Intel being the pack leader and the bully gets to set the pace
