quote:Rocket Lake is a codename for Intel’s desktop x86 chip family which is rumored[according to whom?] to be released at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. It is based on the new Willow Cove microarchitecture backported to the older 14nm semiconductor device fabrication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_CPU_microarchitectures Gawd this poo poo's confusing. I thought Ice Lake was the Microarchitecture, but turns out it's the chip and the Microarchitecture is Sunny Cove. And Willow Cove is the next generation after Sunny, but they're not all 10nm, now.

Have there been any good business write-ups about Intel falling apart? Something more focused on the whys rather than the technical details.

Gabriel S. posted:It looks like though that it's just that we'll see Tiger Lake (Mobile) and Rocket Lake (Desktop) not until later in 2021. Or maybe just a paper launch. Rocket Lake is supposedly end of the year/start of next year. Who knows with covid but so far they haven’t said anything about delays, and if so I’d expect “delays” to be like Q2 2021 and not like “end of 2021/early 2022”.

To really take advantage of non-volatile main memory, you need the OS you're using to be modified (it doesn't need to be FreeBSD, but it helps). Too bad the write endurance of NVDIMMs is still many orders of magnitude lower than traditional SDRAM.

I'm wondering if those leaked bring-up guides and other operational docs are going to end up being real useful for Chinese chip efforts. A lot of times it's not the lack of tools that makes things inferior products, but know-how and how to really maximize using the tools.

Paul MaudDib posted:It's not really an intellectually honest video, they're setting up a pre-determined conclusion by using a workstation for consumer workloads, and unsurprisingly it ends up being a horrible value proposition. And it's trendy to dunk on Apple (which is justified, their PC hardware sucks) but in this specific case you could substitute any other OEM and end up with an equally bad result - like DrDork says, populating 1.5TB on a Dell is $25k just for the memory alone, depending on the CPU you end around $50k just like with the Mac Pro, and taking that Dell and putting 96GB on it would be a horrible waste of money too. Did you...actually watch the video? It's not dunking on Apple at all - the opposite. It's showing that running a single 12-core Xeon is very competitive in similar editing tasks to a 64-core Threadripper PC, largely because Apple's own software is so much more efficient on their platform. I mean this isn't even a case where it's a bait and switch - the title "I'M SHOCKED!" should give you an indication of where it's going, it would absolutely not be shocking for a 64 core PC to beat a 12 core Mac.

It'd say "I'm SHOCKED," have a thumbnail with a guy making a funny face, and stretch 3 minutes worth of reading into 15 minutes of setup and repeating the same points over and over, even if the conclusion was "this $10k workstation is faster than a 25 cent microcontroller."

Happy_Misanthrope posted:Did you...actually watch the video? No, and I’m not going to watch a 20 minute video to try and catch a slide of relevant results. I seriously probably have 2 or 3 hours a day worth of potentially relevant content aggregated at me per day from various sources and I simply don’t care enough to watch most it even on hi-speed. Especially since once a topic is sufficiently hot, like five techtubers do the same video topic in a single week and come to pretty similar conclusions. I thought this was yet another “$50k Mac workstation gets owned by a $4k Threadripper build as long as you only do small consumer tasks!” video, they were really hot for a while. Sorry about your algorithm but it’s not worth my time to sit and watch someone read their article to me while b-roll plays. Sucks that you don’t make much money from just publishing the article directly but you make zero dollars from me not watching your video, don’t you? So don’t make your content unbearably tedious to consume, and I’ll consume it. (Let alone when it’s someone like buildzoid and it’s literally an hour and a half of stream-of-thought rambling.) They say they make no money from written journalism and if you want the content you should pay for it but like, these guys all have patreons, people are paying for it, and it hasn’t encouraged them to actually release written content (apart from GN). It is the “cable tv” problem - cable TV didn’t use to have ads, you were paying for a premium service, ad-free! But then it turns out they can get you to pay monthly and still make even more money from the ads, so they choose both, and now you pay for a service that is 1/3 ads. The perennial problem with “micropayment” or “subscription” paywalls. Newspapers are real bad about that too. So, unless it’s a particularly compelling video I’ll wait for someone to tl;dr it for me. Or if you think it’s relevant to a discussion we’re having then tell me what point I should take away from it, I’m not going to watch a 20 minute video in hopes that there might be a relevant point in it somewhere. If I just want some white noise I’ll put on Steve1989mreinfo or Greg’s Airplanes or Forgotten Weapons or something. Not listen to the 47th review of “1600 vs 8700K in CURRENT_YEAR”. The amount of filler content has also gotten staggering, “the algorithm” favors frequent publishing and that means churning out two or three low-effort videos per week (but they have to be 15 minutes so tons of filler too). Digital Foundry is cool though, they are one tech channel whose content hugely benefits from the video medium. Also, “I’m shocked!” with a funny face is par for the course at this point and I disregard that entirely. Thanks Linus. Or maybe everybody else actually is watching hours per day of video? Idk I think “hardly anybody actually watches the video anymore” is really not a shocking revelation these days. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Even if you give the rumor mongering dorks the benefit of the doubt and say "they MEANT to say discrete Xe", thats also not gonna happen. Intel has firm orders for Xe HPC and already booked the TSMC capacity for it, so i firmly doubt its anywhere near cancelled. Xe for gamers? Yeah, I could see that getting axed if Intel doesn't think they have the capacity.

Yeah, I guess I just want to hear something out of the Intel situation. Like some explanation for how things got to where they are today, so gradually and obviously for years and years, and yet so sudden. They’re such a monolith, it feels like we’re watching an ‘early 80s IBM’ moment. They haven’t quite hit the deluge yet but it feels like we’ve passed the point of no return and we’re just a couple of years out from the payoff.

Not that I disagree with you, but having orders booked at TSMC doesn't mean much - orders can be canceled "easily enough" (see: Huawei), and there are plenty of other firms who would move in to reserve Intel's booked capacity as fast as they could.
