Intel CEO says it will respond to AMD with better products and put pressure on nVidia graphics

Citiraj:

We just say about the AMD threat, you know we got to do better products, period! So we gonna build better products and they had a period we haven’t executed well. We’re gonna execute, execute, execute! So we were in a period where we were behind. Now with Ice Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Diamond Rapids, we are in a period where we are going to be very competitive and as we get out to 3 -4 years from now, we see that we will be in sustained leadership again. We have a number of things going on over here[…] We are rolling out the heterogenous architecture that is part of Alder Lake where we have big and little cores, you know AMD only has one. We’ll have a higher performance and a more energy-efficient version of the core, pretty compelling, we’ll lay out our major vector enhancement stuff, we have our GPU architecture where we are gonna start being in a position to really put pressure on nVidia for the first time ever.

I dok novi-stari CEO ima kojekakve čestitke, želje i pozdrave, realnost je malo drugačija. Alder Lakeova poveća potrošnja i zagrijavanje dovoljno govori o učinkovitosti same arhitekture, a heterogeni pristup, odnosno hibridni dizajn je tu samo da marketing može odraditi svoje i reći da sada napokon imaju i nude isto toliko jezgri koliko i konkurencija. AVX-512 je kompletno isključen za desktop, dok su manje Atom jezgre totalno ignorirane za serverske Sapphire Rapids primjerke, jer bez Windows 11 podrške i Intel Thread Director implementacije, taj dio priče ne drži vodu, a serverska infrastruktura se vrti na *nix okolinama koje su za prvu ruku lijepo stavljene sa strane.

Cloudflare says Intel is not inside its next-gen servers – Ice Lake melted its energy budget

Citiraj:

Internet-grooming company Cloudflare has revealed that it was unable to put Intel inside its new home-brew servers, because they just used too much energy. "We evaluated Intel's latest generation of 'Ice Lake' Xeon processors," Howells wrote. "Although Intel's chips were able to compete with AMD in terms of raw performance, the power consumption was several hundred watts higher per server – that's enormous." Requests per Watt is one of our defining characteristics when testing new hardware and we use it to identify how much more efficient a new hardware generation is than the previous generation. So, based on the samples we received from our vendors and our subsequent testing, hardware from AMD and Ampere made the shortlist for our generation 11 server. On this occasion, we decided that Intel did not meet our requirements.
