Intel posts better than expected earnings results

But shares fall after it says 10nm volume production will be delayed until H2 2019.

and in other news, intel still can't sort out 10nm so continues to f* around with 14nm just so they can prolong the boardroom sweepstake about how many motherboard chipset iterations they can get out of it.

Actually they gave a more accurate date:

In the second-quarter results, Intel said that its 10-nanometer yields are "on track" with systems on the market in the second half of 2019. Krzanich's previous perspective wasn't specific on whether they would arrive in the first half of next year or in the second half. On the conference call with analysts on Thursday, Swan was more specific and said products would be on shelves in time for the holiday season.

Apparently holiday season as defined by Google is:

(in the US) the period of time from Thanksgiving until New Year, including such festivals as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.

That would mean November 2019,so say October to November next year as Thanksgiving 2019 is on the 28th of November.

I wonder how long intel can continue to release less competetive chips, but still be at the heart of the lions share of the end products customers buy.

Project SuperPi delivered obviously!!

IMO, at least 3 years, assuming AMD don't have another Zen like jump.

Those better than expected earnings must be down to cheeping out on the TIM.

I personally think that AMD need to release an AM4-type socket server platform, as even the lowest end EPYC servers are still pretty overkill if all you need is a basic pizza box for a basic job. They have the high density plaforms utterly nailed, but not everyone needs all those cores and RAM channels. The Xeon E3 chips are not only a great product for many enterprise markets, they also have a bit of a consumer bridge and Intel have that market totally tapped.

oh yes the corporate debt driven monstrosity lingers on until our untimely heat death form the universe or whatever.

this kind of corp and structure and org is so pathetic to me. I understand they have good and great people within their ranks to be honest this is part of my problem as well with almost everything in 'business' these days.

Rant under someone. Good luck lol.

What about the Ryzen Pro CPUs? Don't they have the server features like ECC supported?

Good point, had forgotten about those!

Doesn't the entire Ryzen lineup have ECC support anyway?

It doesn't have it disabled... which isn't quite the same as supporting it.

To quote AMD:

ECC is not disabled. It works, but not validated for our consumer client platform.

Validated means run it through server/workstation grade testing. For the first Ryzen processors, focused on the prosumer/gaming market, this feature is enabled and working but not validated by AMD. You should not have issues creating a whitebox homelab or NAS with ECC memory enabled.

yes, if you enable ECC support in the BIOS so check with the MB feature list before you buy.

To quote AMD:

Ahhhh, that makes more sense!

So Ryzen standard is enabled not validated whereas the Ryzen PRO is enabled and validated.
