Is supposed to be announced tomorrow morning. Is 13 Intel's lucky number? Can raptors swim? Is AMD about to get absolutely hosed as team blue reclaims the crown???

My current computer is an AMD 3900X and it crashes every night for some reason. And the USB drivers have been really dodgy. I'm ready to go back to Intel.

I stopped paying attention to intel- did they finally get to an actual 10nm node they can get any yields from? is the core actually not a rehashed skylake now?

they call their process “Intel 7” now whatever that means

yeah, i'm not a fan of completely unavoidable cache hierarchy check exceptions happening every month or so either.

amd lifted the nda on zen 4 reviews and they are good, but given the comparisons to the 12th gen intels, i'm willing to bet intel takes the single threaded performance crown back immediately. i would like to have a system that doesn't randomly bsod, otoh, i'm not looking forward to having to use windows 11 to do it

windows 11 is just fine after you move the taskbar icons back to the left

I was reading that the new nvidia gpus really need these newer ATX 3.0 power supplies that have data pins to communicate with the PSU and card

why did intel call their 10nm node "Intel 7"??

Because 7 ate 9 :xd:

New GPU, $329. New cpus, but it's kinda information free until someone else benchmarks them. Lots of efficiency cores this time!

almost certainly, but i still hope they stick to it. where the "plucky little intel" was mostly a quip earlier (for a lot of the year they have been the third largest of the three companies making a laptop cpu seeing any real use, but market be dumb) it is very real and substantial when up against nvidia.

getting into that realm intel is relatively small, and having been a real good friend to reasonably open licensing, specs, and source for a very long time it'd be very good if they saw some headway.

oh yeah, I'd be all for someone other than amd giving nvidia a run for their money.

dxvk can be used on windows as a wrapper for old directx versions

there is also nothing stopping intel from shipping dxvk if they want to solve the problem for you

yeah, this looks like a totally reasonable workaround. especially with the big bold disclaimer up front not to use it for multiplayer games (like csgo, for instance)

The Management posted:

Intel is bad at supporting software.

this may sound like a facile statement, but it is the core of their problem. Intel is a hardware company. they make some software, mostly drivers and related things. however they are run like a hardware company. their management don’t have the mentality for software development. their priorities aren’t aligned with those of getting quality software out.

a gpu driver is a giant hairball of software. it touches some of the ugliest aspects of PC architecture: boot, graphics, virtualization. it has to do so on windows and linux. it implements very complex APIs (directx, vulken, OpenGL, some compute thing). it binds to on an enormous userspace support library, higher level APIs, shader compilers, … it’s a shitload of code. Intel is just not structured to produce this kind of software well, much less maintain it.

yeah but I want them to get better at it because nvidia needs another serious competitor

Sounds like maybe theres something to the hardware that makes pursuing the design worthwhile, but the software is too bad for it to be viable

yeah. everybody assumed this would be the case

idgi hasn't intel been making (integrated) gpus for decades? it is some giant departure? they've needed some sort of drivers the entire time presumably.

it sounds like nobody pushed them to make better drivers for them since nobody expected anything from the igpus.

is amd any better with theirs?
