Intel introduces new chips for laptops

HisArpy said:
I don't follow the minutia nutz and boltz of computers, but the new chips use "chiplets" (introduced not too long ago) to route the data stream to multiple chips at the same time for faster processing. AI capability too.

I think we're closer to parallel processing than ever before.

1) You're thinking 'parallel computing' rather than parallel processing'. A multi-core processor is an example of parallel computing in that different cores are assigned specific tasks that is executed in parallel. Ergo, parallel computing has been with us since the turn of the century: Intel's Pentium dual core commercially, and IBM had one for VLSI applications a few years before that. I forget where Athlon sits in that timeline.

2) Chiplets are a decentralized form factor that allows for modular approach to overcoming the limitations of Moore's law. Having chiplets is not evidence of parallel computing.
 
Sean keeps up with this more than I do....is this the long-delayed product announcement that sent Intel stock into a nosedive when they announced it wasn't quite ready yet at the end of the last fiscal quarter?

No, Intel's nosedive was due to a further delay in transitioning to 7nm to sometime in 2022 or 2023 due to yield issues. This gives AMD the lead in 7nm of about 3ish years.

The 3700X I'm using in this rig is 7nm. AMD have always been more bang for your buck but they're actually edging ahead in pure performance terms these days.

Did you catch Nvidia's 3000 series GPU announcement yesterday? Big Navi is in for a world of hurt if it isn't compelling from a pricing perspective.

ETA: I'm rocking a 1700X on a prop Dell mobo that will never be given a BIOS upgrade to Zen 2. Hence why I'm going to build my next PC rather than buy a pre-built.

I've pretty much always been team red when it comes to cards.

Same. I have a dead ATI card that ran in my system 10 years ago that I use as a paperweight.

I have a cupboard upstairs that's about six feet long, three wide and four high. It's absolutely full of old PC bits. I'll get round to clearing it out one day.

About a month ago I ebay'ed an old ATI AGP card. Listed it at $10, it caught a bidding war and I sold it at $32.

Color me surprised.

I flogged my 7990 c/w waterblock last year and got over a hundred for it. Not bad for a card from 2013.

I'm not sure.

Tiger Lake is supposedly a step up from Ice Lake in both performance and utility. If so it could push AMD's development faster which in turn could result in even more breakthroughs.

I also believe, having had chipsets from both manufacturers over the years, that Intel is a bit more stable than AMD over time.

We shall see where it goes from here.

The hidden cost is that I'd need both a new psu and a new case to fit and run'em. Damn things look to be the size of a braille bible.

I take it you don't have a full size ATX case?

And that's just the reference card. Imagine what board partners will do to them.

I went PSU shopping a few weeks ago and the pricing was ABSURD! Turns out there are supply chain issues involved. Was hoping to buy all components before I'm Euro-side, but it looks like several components will have to be purchased once in-country. Turns out that all this stuff is MUCH more expensive in Euros. Asshats.

Midi tower-ish. Don't know if it follows some set standard. It fits a full sized atx board, but it's a bit narrow in the depth department. Don't wanna switch it out though, cause it has the quitetest and still effective airflow I've ever had.

Really? I've always found them to be pretty similar. At one point I was thinking of getting LTR to ship me stuff but it just wasn't worth it.

I have a Fractal Design Define R7 and I never plan on changing it.
 
Don't worry Windows 10 will slow that Mother Fucker down!:D
