    Re: Intel details Iris Xe MAX Graphics and Deep Link technology

    Every time I see an Intel doc release, i struggle to not channel Linus Torvalds position that Intel is trying to stay relevant by just stuffing as much random extraneous stuff into their processors using ASICs to accelerate tasks than actually making a faster, better processor.

    What here has actually changed except a ton of ASIC based compute elements to supplement the GPU and CPU?

    Deep link sounds nice, tandemising the two GPU elements is a natural progression but isn't this relatively already baked into software? IIRC, Premiere will use the GPU for showing preview while decoding on the iGPU (someone correct me here, please).

    Pretty sure premiere does support multi gpu and encoding via the gpu now in most cases (can't say I use premiere much these days)....Davinci resolve can that's for sure, at least on the paid version.

    They're stalling, trying to prevent a share price crash. It'll take them years to bring to market something which is competitive, if they're still able that is.

    We really need then to be, at least they have a load of cash, so the industry "shouldn't" flip and be completely one sided in AMD's favour (long term), but that all depends on Intel clearing out and installing competent management.

    Intel still got multiple other brands to sell to be honest, but they should really get along with the 7nm and below Tech for their CPU's especially if they want to stay in that market, or they may end losing to other brands that takt the torch up with AMD for an instance.

    Intel 10nm SF is on par with TSMC 7nm. Stop crying on the process. it's the performance that matters.

    But...it's not.

    Althought it might have a similar density/shape/swiss cheese/chardonnay, it's astoundingly different in both form and function. It's hot unstable and expensive.

    So we are going to keep the hark on, thanks, because Intel shouldn't get a free pass, let alone their competitors

    Even if it were, don't they still only have 2 fabs churning 10nm stuff out?

    With the current rate and availability in market, I'd be surprised if both fabs are operating at full capacity.

    On the other hand if yields are still really bad, they could running all out but 25% / 50% / 75% of the dies are scrap. Not that they would ever tell us those yields (unless they were 99% and they could boast about them).

    The fact they're not boasting and there aren't many commercially available products is quite telling to be honest.

    I do know that 10nm is being used in their FPGAs and their high speed networking IIRC? Maybe the lions share is going towards them?

    Still gonna end having to buy an expensive mobo all the time whenever somehting new comes out, so yes to expensive
