Roadmap shows that in 2021, Intel desktop CPUs will remain on 14nm

...but if Intel can't even get 10nm to work, why would you think it can get 7nm to work?

It's like saying you failed General Chemistry, but now somehow you are going to pass Organic Chemistry.

They tried to use lots of masks which is a huge issue and why their yields are in the toilet. With EUV they dont need need all those masks and thus why 7nm will work while 10nm will stay trash.
 
You would think motherboards should be getting smaller and the CPU is at it's peak already.
 
It's more like saying one student failed Chem 101 whereas a different student at the same school passed Orgo. The two processes are being developed by entirely different divisions using different architectures. Their 7nm process isn't simply the 10nm process done smaller.

I agree that Intel's history of making things smaller isn't littered with victories, but I wouldn't say that failure to do 10nm means they're going to fail at 7nm as well.

I would agree with you here and add Intel needs to get 7nm done right and they need to get all the speculative exploits out of the hardware!

You cannot get all the speculative exploits out of their hardware, there will always be an exploit someone will find. You can design a chip to mitigate as much as you can but the sad reality that most of the time, there is a delay between exploits found and a hardware fix.

That is true. Do you think it has to do with the popularity of Intel over AMD as to why more haven't been found on that side?

I doubt it has a huge influence. i mean, sure, there are way more intel than AMD servers, but there are still plenty of AMD, ARM, and other servers that would be prime targets for these exploits.

I doubt it has to do with Intel being with the higher market share as why it always seem to be Intel, more like Speculative Branching CPU design in general as Nobu indicated other CPU brand are affected as well in varying degrees. It just Intel left a bigger hole compare to AMD in their Speculative execution, whether that is intention (which I doubt it is) or not is a whole another debate. This is my opinion, I think as long CPU use Speculative Branching, there will always be some sort of exploits.

But if they are still faster than the competition, I don't see this being a problem.
 
Eh, I'm on i3-8350k and 1080Ti, happily gaming on a 1440p 50" screen. Even Metro Exodus ran on max details. If Intel/AMD/Nvidia want my money, they will have to do better.

I guess that's the crux of the argument for me. Will Intel at 7nm actually be faster than AMD even when you factor in a potential speculative exploit? Sure on a benchmark after a patch they may loose 100 points overall but in the real world it's actually 1000 points for a specific application. For example, say I purchase an i7 8700 today because i'm running Photoshop for my business and it's faster than a 2700x. But in 3 months an exploit comes out that doesn't hinder AMD and for the most part doesn't hinder Intel except when trying to rasterize an image. Now my workflow is hindered but I've already bought into the platform based on the benchmarks.

If only we had a trusted [H] source on the Intel inside to give us the [H]ard++++++ truth.
 
Prove it. Checks out with what Intel released officially - no 10nm for desktop 2019 via Bob Swann.

Aka salt detected. Why aren't you busy championing xir lqxyatcgp and obesity health at every size 'rights' on Reddit?

I was out of computer world for a time. On return, I asked the SiliconGang for updates on last news/leaks. This was the April 30 update for the Intel 10nm status:

The roadmap you're looking at is fake. You'll have Ice Lake-Y/U this year. As for next year, you'll have Ice Lake-SP/X, and Tiger Lake-Y/U/S. Tiger Lake-H might come out next year, but it also may come out the year after (2021).

So this person is more of a source than the original?

I like playing video games, and I'm a big fan of Spider-Man. You can find the latest information about some games and Spider-Man here.

I would however, trust him or her for Spider-Man leaks!!!

I am not calling this one fake. But logically your argument doesn't hold water.

If I was making a fake roadmap, I wouldn't be dumb enough to contradict the publicly available info, and render my fake obvious from the start.

I would use as much verified info as possible, and extrapolate from there.

So having a "leaked" roadmap with some verified info, says absolutely nothing about it's veracity.
 
You didn't understand anything. He reported the findings of the SiliconGang.

Huh? OK enlighten me.

You post on twitter here.

I see no one updated me about Intel 10nm status. Dayman, Witteken where are you? Low core mobile in 2019, large count in 2020, and desktop in 2021? Is that correct? 2021? ROFL

So Spider dude/dudette heads this gang? Why should we trust this gang?

silicongang appears to be a group of old hats (and some marketing types) who follow a tag on Twitter and masterdebate about tech. I could imagine some credible leaks appearing on there, but it looks like mostly rumor mill lately.
 
@schime you continue without having idea.

The twitter tag was created after the group. We have even a website. And one of our members has joined Intel a pair of days ago.

The leaked roadmap was analised by members of the silicongang and debunked as fake.

In this case I would say one doesn't even need to be familiar with the technology or have contacts in the industry to question the validity of this leaked roadmap, When see a slide says slide "152 of 14" one would start to question its validity.

Yeah cause you never intentionally mislabel something in a slide to see who leaks the info. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book by large corporations.

This one has the features you claim. https://hardforum.com/threads/skyla...s-and-reviews.1933735/page-36#post-1044186426

But that isn't this and that one is unlinked and uploaded to [H] unsourced.

Regardless. My point being silicongang has no more credibility than any other rumor esp when the dude/dudette is only listed as a spiderman fan.

Even more egregious. You changed the phrasing without citing it.

Tiger Lake-H might come out next year, but it also may come out next year.

afa the wording change, spider-dood corrected himself in a later tweet.

Honestly I think people make a much bigger deal when it's Intel -- I mean there are guys out there who's primary focus is litterally breaking the security on modern CPU's. For example, check this out -- the VIA Samuel 2 core is COMPLETELY BROKEN -- you can execute Ring 0 code from Ring 3.



But I bet most of you guys have never even heard of that exploit. I mean sure, you won't ever find one of those in a server, but they exist in a lot of places like POS systems and whatnot, and those potentially have access to credit card information...

That's a really weird resolution and monitor size combination.

We could think that If it was the only mistake on the leaked slides.

It's probably a Sammy 4k that runs in 120hz 1440p freesync mode.
Nice handle, loved those books when I was a youngin.

The OP listed here only two slides of the pack of three leaked. In that other thread I gave a list of link of mistakes on the third slide, including the slide "152 of 14". About the other two slides uploaded here.


First slide:
  • Intel's SIPP website does not list any Kaby Lake Refresh or Amber Lake Y SKUs as SIPP eligible.

  • Amber Lake Y is only 2 core, not 2 core and 4 core.

  • Coffee Lake R is also not listed as eligible on Intel's SIPP website.

  • Rocket Lake U has "+14nm GFX" coming in Q2 2021, Intel will not have 14nm discrete GPU die, another issue is that Slide 2 mentions Rocket Lake U "+10nm GFX" coming in Q3 2020, why would the 10nm version come first?

  • No dell logo present unlike the other two slides

Second slide:
  • Kaby Lake G launched on January 7th during CES, not March.

  • Coffee Lake H launched on April 2nd - not March.

  • Amber Lake Y is only 2 core, not 2 core and 4 core.

  • Intel Executives have stated that Lakefield will come after Icelake, this fake roadmap puts it before it [*].

  • There are zero signs of Lakefield launching this quarter like this fake roadmap states, Intel said in Lakefield announcement that products would arrive in H2'19 (Q3 or Q4).

  • Dell logo is fully visible.

Even more egregious. You changed the phrasing without citing it.

It was a typo, and he corrected himself latter. Instead quoting him (with the typo) and then quoting the correction about Tiger-Lake, I corrected the quote myself.


REFERENCE:

[*] In fact Intel has just remarked again yesterday that Lakefield comes after Icelake.

That's even worse than the roadmap.

According to the roadmap, Ice Lake should be shipping about now.

Which doesn't exactly add veracity to this "leaked" roadmap.

Though looking at the actual information Intel presented. It does appear that it might be 2021+ before Desktop migrates to 10nm.

But that isn't necessarily a competitive problem.

I think Intels big problem now is 14nm clocks so ridiculously high, that 10nm/7nm can't match it. Not just from Intel, but from anyone. I am betting the only CPUs in the next year running 5GHz will be Intel 14nm based.

Intel Not reaching 5GHz on 10nm means Intel moving their top desktop parts to 10nm would slow them down. AMD doesn't have this issue because they currently top out around 4.3GHz. If they can get to 4.5GHz on 7nm, then its a significant win for them. Intel desktop parts at 4.5GHz would be a significant step backwards.

IOW, the exact same performance on 10nm/7nm for Intel and AMD, would a be huge step backwards for Intel, and step forward for AMD.

Intel is moving 10nm first into Mobile where they don't need the high clock speeds. On Paper, Ice Lake looks set to extend Intels mobile lead. New generation Sunny Cove cores, New gen 11 GPU on new 10nm process. Will be competing against a minor Raven Ridge refresh on GF 12nm.

After that Server parts are the next to get 10nm, where again, you don't need/use top end clock speeds.

14nm will linger for top end desktop parts, not because 10nm is so bad (it will probably equal TSMC 7nm), but because 14nm is just so good for that application (super high clock speed).

What does Intel do if it can never get 10nm/7nm to 5GHz?

It should be interesting to watch this unfold.
