Intel's new 'Skymont' E Cores are arguably the most important part of the Lunar Lake processor. This presentation provides a deep-dive into why. Article: highperformanc...
The interesting thing I think I am seeing is AMD is solving customer problems, and Intel is playing it riskier trying to solve deeper "how code is run" problems. Eager to to see who wins as Intels strat seems long game in a short game market.
I feel like Intel is coming back. You all seem very confident with your lunar lake architecture and your Skymont e-cores. I’m looking forward to future Atoms as well like Darkmont. Congratulations on the hard work. And thank you for taking the time to explain Skymont from technical design decision perspective. I would definitely watch more of these deep dives.
Interesting to see rather different P/E approaches. Intel goes with split microarchitectures, AMD goes with same microarchitecture but different hardware implementation. As a programmer going below a LLM i will have to optimize two branches for Intel and being out of control by the threaddirector. Anyway also the LLM need to find a common, least efficient, denominator. I think the P/E situation at Intel is more an internal organization thing than a well thinked through P/E optimization. I am very curious how X Elite solve the P/E by a unified core only by dynamic operation.
Well for starters AMD is a way smaller company and therefore have a simpler internal structure so it’s much easier to implement sweeping changes, if they mess up big time few people will be impacted because of their small market share. If intel messes up on the other hand the entire pc industry is screwed. Every-time I’ve tried to buy an AMD laptop it’s always sold out that’s not a problem with intel. AMD is a boutique chip manufacturer for pc enthusiasts they never have enough stock but frame it as high demand. I have more faith in Qualcomm or Apple tbh.
@@elijahtrenton8351 I wouldnt say AMD is small, they have over 25 thousand employees close to what Nvidia has. AMD is far from a Boutique manufacture, Ryzen has a 23.9% PC marketshare and 31% enterprise market share. Total valuation is 266 billion. Compared to Apple, Nvidia yes AMD is much smaller. AMD AI300 spanks Qualcomm Elite X and the M4
@@ssaini5028 I said 'smaller' as in smaller than intel not small. Everything is relative. Because they are smaller than intel they can take more risks because they have less to lose and everything to gain. Because of the high-volume intel does they have to plan every like 5 years in advance, so they don't run out of stock halfway through a launch that's why it's so hard for them to change course when industry trends emerge.
