[@steveweidig5373]

I think you are blaming the wrong persons here. The whole problems started with Brian Krzanich's tenure as CEO, and him believing Intel was so far ahead that AMD and IBM would never be able to catch up. He dried up the R&D budget as cost-saving measures to get more and more money to the shareholders while slowly killing the company while firing and silencing anyone who tried to warn or stop him from doing so. He's the one to blame here as all the problems can be traced back to his decisions. Bob Swan, his interim successor, just tried to put a Band aid on the big problems until Pat Gelsinger took over, but his overly-cautious leading style just made the cracks go wider and more visible. But when Pat got in office, Intel was still an absolute mess and rectifying that will take many years, and he's only in office for 3 years now; the upcoming Panther Lake chips will be the first ones that have actually been fully developed under Gelsinger. I'd wait at least until those chips come out really argue about what Pat can do for Intel. He helped develop the original Core architecture, so it's not like he doesn't know stuff in his domain, but steering a chip company around takes several steps and architectural changes to achieve. Krzanich wasn't wrong about IBM, but AMD did catch up, and then ARM also did, and they lost the very lucrative deal with Apple. Now AMD is well ahead in almost every metric that isn't total sales (mostly due to OEMs and non-tech savvy clients mostly only knowing Intel due to their dominance until Ryzen came out), ARM is cutting into their server and ultrathin share and Apple simply took a chunk of their market for themselves. Thankfully, it looks like Krzanich is now at a point in his career where nobody seems to want him anywhere near their company anymore, so his career is pretty much finished.

[@jkrte989]

That's actually bad for us consumers. No competition means that AMD doesn't have to keep up with anything. In the worst case scenario it's a monopoly, which is even worse.

[@grabedigger]

They do, ARM. This is why they, AMD, assembled with Intel on the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group due to fear of ARM and RISC V CPUs as these are giving us huge performance gains with extreme low power consumption. I do want to see Intel back in the game, more competition means more innovation and lower prices for us costumers. I remember in the years before Ryzen 1000 series was released, Intel was ditching 14nm++++ CPUs at ridiculous prices, and then AMD came to the park and said, "Here! Have this 8 core 16thread 7nm FinFet CPU we call Ryzen for 300usd", Intel was in shock, the world was still suspicious of what AMD had brought, but truth be told it was nothing but intel's own fault on the lack of innovation due to being in the position of "leader of the pack". Now Intel is trying their best for an AMD move, but both are scared of ARM. And believe me, someone will sucker punch Nvidia and their dominant position anytime soon.

Since nobody seems to actually report on what they said. They said "Gluing Together" while talking about their hit and miss interconnect.

Changing the overall performance depending on what core the task was allocated to and was reliant on a inefficient interconnect that effected overall power consumption states.

You look too young to remember much about the cpu market, but blue team and red team has always done this ebb and flows on who is on top.

But no, they switched to newer process node and pulled a Ryzen moment (with the exception of the X3D chips, there's no way that Ryzen CPUs would be that fast with Intel's own fabs).

This is marketed as a feature for enterprises and businesses to be able to completely take over their systems remotely and even make changes when they are off remotely. In truth, it's on every Intel processor, can't truly be disabled, and when the user toggles it off in BIOS, it doesn't actually toggle it off. Intel AMT/ME technology.

The stagnation wasn't hard to imagine though. We're talking about comparing Haswell, the legendary i7 4770k against... Piledriver. The gaming performance between an FX-8370 and a 4770k is wildly different. That was a time when you could literally double your FPS going to Intel. When competition literally does not exist, and even i3 offerings often beat AMD's best for lower prices, it's hard to imagine a world where you aren't progressing forward. Intel had huge success in architecture with Nehalem and Westmere and then with Sandy Bridge and then Haswell, while AMD flopped with Bulldozer and Piledriver. The other problem is that they rested on their laurels even when Ryzen was released. It was essentially a matter of "Yeah it's an improvement... _but we're is still faster in gaming._ " And that mentality persisted until Ryzen 5000 dropped and THEN Intel paid attention, realizing far too late that they were suddenly beaten across the board in every metric and couldn't remain competitive anymore. The V-cache stuff just added salt to the wound.

I bought my 5800X3D just a month after its release in MAy 2022 for just €300. €300 for the best gaming CPU at that time!!! Now the 7800X3D is €450+ and the new 9800X3D already appears at some retailers for €550+ or almost double the price of its grandaddy. 2 times increase in price in less than 3 years is not "inflation"" or "manufacturing costs" and it's NOT a good step forward. I truly believe intel deserve every single bit of the sh**storm that came their way and will keep on coming, but they will have to get up eventually and get their sh*t together. Turning to TSMC wasn't a mistake and was the first step in the right direction. Removing defects from the production line of a CPU fab isn't as simple as dusting and vacuuming the place. They have to go deep, find the flaws in their manufatucing proccess and the causes, eliminate them and only then resume their own manufacturing. This will take at best MONTHS, but realistically more than a year. In the meantime someone has to produce CPUs, so they can sell something and get feedback to know which way to go. What intel need right now is completely new architecture and platform and they know it. This 1851 socket will probably have really short lifecycle, most lickly a simple refresh of the 285, 265 and 245 CPUs and will switch to a completely different layout.

As we know having a monopoly gets rid of competition and potentially deals, theres is a such thing as too many choices, however there's mainly 2 companies making x86 cpus and 3 companies to make dedicated GPU's. Adding more to a competition is fine, adding too many manufactures to make cpus can be hard to follow up on who makes the best products for the money.

TSMC probaly going to Japan or South Korea rather than the U.S if anything happened in Taiwan.

[@niko2002]

@Wkaelx Just speculations though, you might be right.

[@elfo7918]

I remember when Zen came out, so many people were saying stuff like 'Intelnis too big to fail' or 'Intel has a cpu in their drawer, which let Zen look like 10 year old tech'. Look where we are now.

[@enricofermi3471]

Intel is having a genuine Phenom FX moment. Let's hope they can come back in a span of couple generations, though. Otherwise they'll just switch places, with AMD demanding $999+ for their top consumer chip.

[@PM42.]

AMD was stuck on their phenom 2 non-sense for what felt like centuries and their first few generations of APU's was awful. Intel can bounce back.

[@opfax163]

I Remember the painful and sad attempt on dual core by AMD 😂 at the time it was terrible . Glade we are not in those times anymore

[@GreyDeathVaccine]

@@opfax163 LOL. AMD made first true dual core CPU. Intel just glued two 1 core CPUs.

[@BJID]

My brother's 2017 laptop has amd APU and dGPU, the dGPU is bottlenecked by the CPU itself 😂 When compared with my 2013 laptop which had intel 4th gen and Nvidia kepler GT at the time, my laptop can still play 2016 games that my brother can't... And what's more shocking is that they're about the same price Since then, my family has never looked back at AMD products. Maybe i myself switched to AMD for my first ever PC especially when looking at the new 7600x3D, those things only have 65 watt TDP with insane like 7800x3D performance which is crazy...

[@MDFGamingVideo]

Let's not forget the history of the Intel compiler shenanigans (See Wendel when he was with Tech Syndicate), and that they were paying nearly $1 billion per quarter to PC OEMs like Dell, to be an Intel exclusive shop. They were a very anti-competitve company that had a monopoly for over a decade. I shed no tears for them.

[@arp_catchall]

Sooo, Intel got the $8.9B grant to make chips in the US, yet uses TSMC in Taiwan to make the chips? Isn't that illegal?

[@opdinkleberg7078]

Your understanding is off, the money was to build fabs here. They still make chips here in the US, just different parts & chips for different markets.

[@Wkaelx]

@@opdinkleberg7078 Only the Ultra ones are made with TSMC right? The other chips lines and older gens still are made in their own foundries?

[@crusaderACR]

My brother in Christ it takes 5 to 10 years to build a foundry

[@redlt194]

I'm glad you brought up his DEI and politics. Almost nobody will do that.

[@esmolol4091]

Intel relied too much on its brand name and its shady "wintell" agreement, until that corruption and hybris caught up to them in the end.

[@zarcon666]

Intel just posted a 16 billion loss and are being beat out by AMD in datacenter sales. I want Intel to succeed. I just hope these fabs being built can implement their r&d and save the company.

[@Nine-Signs]

Can they rebound? You are young so I will forgive you for asking silly questions. This is not the first time Intel has been in this position, 24 years ago it had exactly the same kind of debacle trying to push P4 Prescott while AMD were advancing into multicore and 64 bit who introduced them to a large population FIRST. AMD had the faster, cheaper, better chips all round for a good two years or so until Intel released their Core architecture chips. They are a multi billion dollar entity with reasonable brains, they will resolve their issues in due course despite the present pain. I don't say this as an intel fan boy, barring a brief sting on an intel Q6600 I have been AMD CPU for 29 years. I say what I do because necessity is the mother of all innovation and invention. As for the rest of the PC industry, it's a dumpster fire of profiteering that is harming the entire sector, from NVidia's outrageous GPU prices to motherboard manufacturers segmenting their product lines to ridiculous levels where a top end motherboard 10 years ago was around 300 dollars and practically any board over 150 would come with an LED diagnostic to aid in fault finding, now you have to spend a thousand dollars to get the same features. Ram is still relatively affordable at least.

[@PURENT]

Intel is about to rebound solely off of tariffs killing TSMC, allowing them to remain complacent and lazy.

[@Sharpless2]

I have a feeling RAM is about to blow up in price by at least 40-50%.
