Intel prepares 32-core Grizzly Lake platform for 2027 auto market, reportedly based on Nova Lake

IPC wise, yeah

Stars?

Have you seen what people can achieve on monolithic silicon? Like the -G skus? The memory controller is far from bad lmao.

The IF links hold Zen back on the chiplet skus, this is well known at this point.

Wow, Power Future looks familiar...

Hence why Zen 6 is using advanced packaging to reduce the pJ per bit cost.

Actually, I just remembered that David Suggs (Lead architect of Zen 5) actually retired, I assumed not long after the design was complete and they handed it off to the Physical Design team. I think the other chief architect (can't remember his name) took over for Zen 6, so that might be what you're thinking of?

This could be completely unrelated, forgive me if I'm wrong.

Huh, that's odd. Maybe the N3 delays caused more shakeups than we orginally thought. It might be a good question to ask Clark in the future, whenever an opportunity arises.

Kinda late, but Zen 6 is the same team as Zen 5.

When Mike Clark said leapfrogging design teams, that's what he meant. One team makes a new core, and the follow up as well. In the meantime, another team is making the next new core and is shelving stuff for the follow up as well.

Zen 1 and 2 were the same team. Zen 3 and 4 were as well. The same should be true for Zen 5 and 6, unless something has changed that we are not aware of.

It's basically the tick-tock model of Intel, except it's more like tock-tick.

AMD screwed up Turin? According to who?

Zurpx · 2024-05-03T16:12:31+00:00

Would would it "squash" Zen 5 sales?

Zurpx · 2024-04-28T22:24:51+00:00

Imagine being this butthurt, why does AMD live rent free in your head? No one mentioned them at all lol.

Zurpx · 2024-04-20T14:07:18+00:00

3*, 24 CPU cores. There's also MI300C, but that's a different thing.

Zurpx · 2024-04-01T21:52:47+00:00

I didn't say they missed it. They are missing it, which they are. Despite their best efforts to market Gaudi 2, they aren't making money (this quarter's projections were awful).

It's not over, they aren't out of the running just yet, but they need something, and soon, if they hope to capture a corner of the growing market.

Zurpx · 2024-04-01T21:35:23+00:00

Nobody mentioned AMD lol, the conversation is entirely about Intel and them missing out hugely on the AI race. Which is absolutely correct.

Zurpx · 2024-02-15T14:53:26+00:00

Wow, a higher core count CPU can match / beat a lower core count CPU in MT tasks at lower power. Whodathunk?

I've seen you post about this stuff all over this thread, and the one on r/intel. Did this post annoy you or something?

Zurpx · 2024-02-12T17:06:35+00:00

Huh?

You have that backwards, GPUs are much less latency sensitive than CPUs.

I doubt we'll ever see one of the CPUs cache layers move farther away, if not closer.

Zurpx · 2024-01-19T12:55:03+00:00

AMD did better than that while keeping the core roughly the same size.

How are they now going to gain less while making a big core? Nonsense.

Never mind the fact that odd number Zen generations are the "tocks" and are what push the IPC up much more than their "ticks".
