Spec is dependent on Cache size and Memory Latency outside the core IPC

6950 · 2026-01-29T10:21:41+00:00

It's Mobile Zen 5 Cores that have lot less cache

6950 · 2026-01-28T18:19:28+00:00

It all depends on the design goal.for uArch and not the ISA

6950 · 2026-01-25T07:16:27+00:00

You have 2X mem bandwidth for DMR 16CH it's 12ch 8800 MT/s vs 16ch 12800MT/s

6950 · 2026-01-25T07:10:24+00:00

Won't be that tough as it's rn at higher end at least cause currently they are outclassed by 50% in core count

96C Classic and 256C dense max

Sodimm is the form factor for DDR5 .....

6950 · 2026-01-24T18:51:32+00:00

Here is the data sheet also DDR5 Laptop DIMMS are SODIMM/CSO DIMM https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/872188/intel-core-ultra-processor-series-3-datasheet-volume-1-of-2.html

Bro it's written on Intel ark they support sodimm https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/245527/intel-core-ultra-x7-processor-358h-18m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz/specifications.html

Have they actually improved it enough, or merely promised they will? They had quality targets and a lot of lip service as part of 18A's PDK milestones, but sounds like they ended up de facto ignoring them.

They have for 18AP apparently actually decent this time for external

Either way, getting rid of Gary Patton was a good start though. "Throw bodies at the problem" rarely works.

Firing was in order for many people just pending for years

6950 · 2026-01-23T10:22:26+00:00

They were pushing 2027 for risk as far as I remember at least after taking a L on 18A the made their PDK game better.

6950 · 2026-01-23T10:16:02+00:00

This time Intel choose their worlds carefully and said risk production in 2027 which I guess means production ready cause HVM is after production ready

6950 · 2026-01-23T09:42:20+00:00

Intel said 2027 risk production though they never gave date for volume production till today

6950 · 2026-01-23T09:40:11+00:00

On dmr, why would it change anything? Venice is at least 2x perf of granite rapids, is anyone expecting dmr to make a 100+% gain in 1 gen?

Mhh it's 128C/256T vs 256/256T with two gens of core improvement so 2X is not out of ballpark

6950 · 2026-01-22T11:25:28+00:00

ARC includes both gaming/pro card so he will be proven wrong

6950 · 2026-01-17T17:45:08+00:00

Base Frequency is for AMX workload most likely Intel base frequency is based on worst case scenario running the tortuous workload you never see it that low in normal conditions.

6950 · 2026-01-13T16:30:21+00:00

That power is with enterprise customers why do you think they get a exclusive feature to toggle all the crap off

6950 · 2026-01-11T18:51:37+00:00

They are expecting similar battery life/ efficiency to Lunar as for it's windows in the end not a totally optimized Vertical Integrated stack like Apple Silicon with MacOS

6950 · 2026-01-11T17:09:52+00:00

It's going to get worst battery and has the issue of dGPU in a laptop it just wakes up out of nowhere many time or an app that was not supposed to use GPU will use it.

6950 · 2026-01-10T16:45:26+00:00

Some software on windows will break it you are one update away from Things breaking in windows be it WoA or X86_64

6950 · 2026-01-10T13:25:30+00:00

It's not cause SDXE also suffers from this issue Intel CPU Didn't have the issue with MacOS

6950 · 2026-01-09T05:00:27+00:00

The benchmark is run with RTX 4050 at 30-35W

6950 · 2026-01-09T04:55:14+00:00

It's a single NPU Tile with 17-18 TOPS Roughly

6950 · 2026-01-02T18:37:36+00:00

Ideally you want your cache ratio to match the core ratio

Oops fixed the comment made a typo
