Crowley This is just sad, 2021 and we are "hoping" that we can get to 10nm on the S series of processors. SMH

Crackong Comet Lake -> Rocket Lake ->>>> shooting star Lake ?

efikkan All it takes is a random picture from the great Internet and we got the Intel bashing train rolling again…

This information is either incomplete or incorrect. Rest assured, Intel will not replace a lineup with something worse.



Also keep in mind that we don't know if Intel will retain their current product segmentation(OEM, retail, etc.), if they will release a platform consisting of both 10nm and 14nm parts, and when we'll start to see MCM CPUs on the desktop.

Not happening, I'll spoil it for you.Intel will axe 10nm and jump to 7nm probably even at another fab as their own. They don't want to. But they will have to. Meanwhile, they're busy covering their 14nm woes, supply issues, completely uninteresting portfolio, and while they may sell, they won't be extracting fat margins. The clock is ticking, it is a matter of time before Intel makes a move that makes sense.Quad cores on 10nm are a lost case to begin with, performance isn't really there as clocks are low, nice for low power but never going to be cost effective, Intel's 10nm profit will have to come off enterprise which is also what they said they'd try for 10nm first and foremost and where lower clocks don't hurt. "Just quads' also doesn't mix well with having a product stack where lesser chips can easily move down the stack.But I'm very glad they managed to upgrade the GPU once again, and it still isn't capable of much beyond the standard fare :pMore like Smoking Crater lakeSay what now... they've already replaced things with worse alternatives more than once. Forgot about Broadwell's Iris IGPs? Or the QLC 660p versus its predecessors? And if I start digging, I can surely expand the list.I fail to see how they can replace it with somethingwhen all we have is more of the same, on the same node, with minor IGP bumps. All I really read is another round of creative tweaking of specs and how those are explained to us, and 'benched' by Intel. Because effectively that is what everything post Coffee Lake has been: misdirection, bad information, confusion and vagueness, combined with bad user experiences of hot chips barely doing what they are specced for, while Intel is ready to respond to it with disclaimers "don't OC a K chip"...Sry man, credit where it is due ;)
