The SemiAccurate report is very sharp and tough against Intel, something we have seen in some cases and that the company is used to counter-fire before it happens. But in recent times, Intel is not as sharp and sharp as one would expect when it comes to bringing light to criticism, leaving enough claims without denying the truthfulness of all this?
Will Intel delay its road map to work on its servers?
The report yesterday said it hadn't said much about it: Intel's map is delayed, where some of these delays are small, but the other is the opposite. The reasons are focused Problems with TDP
This would create great doubts with him 10 nm process and Intel's ability to compete with AMD in this sector which is hither to dominated by metal (99% share global). In addition, the delay will somehow impact (not specify) the Ice Lake processors of data centers, Intel's primary hope of restoring lost ground in front of AMD on the server.
The report concludes with no hesitation as it begins, because it says AMD has a good place to develop with EPYC Roma in terms of TDP. And it can boost up to 300 watts without the hassle of standing up to Intel in race 48 cores compared to 64 of his competitors.
Those of the Swans answer: they will accomplish the established road
In official statements, Intel says it is in the process of introducing Whitley's platform, which will begin production at Cooper Lake in the first half of 2020 and then follow up on Ice Lake production in the second quarter of 2020.
The statement goes on to say that they are on track to follow Whitley with the introduction of Rapids Sapphire in 2021. This statement follows the statement issued by Murty Renduchintala
Renduchintala said that by the end of 2020 Intel will be introducing Ice Lake, which will bring huge profits to the server operating system, so, in his view, they believe they have a road map that they feel comfortable with.
Although these comments throw a drop of cold water in a report released by Semiaccurate, it would not be the first time that Intel claims to arrive well on its road map and the reality ends up showing the opposite. The problem arises from worrying about his 10 nm and when it will actually be ready and sent to retailers.
Only then will it remove the doubts and rumors of each other, something far from productive.
