*Insert high temperatures joke here*
Intel will mess about on 10nm+ and 10nm++ and by that time AMD will have leapfrogged to 7nm (2019). Next two years will be interesting while AMD refines Zen next year and we see the gains and benefits make their way to the new processor node.
Except that isn't what has happened is it, they have been the recipient of a big shake up with Ryzen so are now struggling to get yields up on their reportedly iffy 10nm process to respond. I'm struggling to see anything new or exciting here.Quote:
... as it is widely believed they will provide a big shakeup in the Core i3, i5, and i7 chip capabilities.
I'm waiting for Intel to announce that they could turn off the main CPU threads and just leave the "extra" threads of an HT processor running so they can call it an i1, that would be their idea of innovation :D
(before flaming me please note the smiley and realise this is a joke, I know that isn't possible)
WHO cares if you have a 14nm processor that is more efficient and powerful than a 10nm? This nanometer race is just sweet on paper but in reality offers little change when we moved from 22nm. I am yet to see REAL improvements mostly on the intel side of things. For AMD that makes sense from 28nm to 14nm.
I dont care as long as they keep the competetion good for better prices and such :)
Not really a leapfrog as GF 7nm is about the same as Intels 10nmQuote:

I mean even with Coffeelake we don't know if it will work in current motherboards and its the same socket.
I am looking forward to buying a mini atx board that has the Z370 Express chipset. And, ill be buying the 8350K i3 for sure.
something something hype train something.
Oh... that's only allowed when it's AMD. Ok. Sorry fanboys.
ive been with intel for years but now ryzen is here better value for your cash 8 cores for under £300 I like me ryzen
