What’s the point of improving a technology that gives them better performance if they can’t afford it? This is a complicated question due to the global situation, but although Intel as a large company did not have a very optimistic sales forecast due to the data from the attached manufacturers, it decided to go with it. before and present his bet at the risk that AMD presents his own for only two months afterwards. What does Guy Chalev think?
Arguments or excuses? Intel, DDR5 and rarity
In an interview with Guy Chalev, general manager of engineering and development verification for the new Core 12 processors, today we know what the company he works for thinks about this controversial issue and that it continues and will continue to queue.
Chalev commented that the current situation with DDR5 is inevitable for this update and future updates to this technology. Thus, Intel offers a wide variety of options to its customers with the new Core 12 processors, where the blue giant has rightly added two IMCs, one for DDR5 and one for DDR4.
The argument continues with manufacturers and OEMs, which Chalev says can choose to make both motherboards with DDR4 as well as the newer DDR5. That is, Guy thinks that Intel was right in releasing its processors at the right time and so if we are consistent with what has been said, Pat Gelsinger can do nothing with the rest of the industry.
Truths and Lies About Core 12 and DDR5
If we take these statements into account, Intel could in no way overcome the supply of DDR5 as well as its shortage. The fact that there are plates with DDR4 and DDR5 even in the Z690 shows that both them and the plate manufacturers and especially the memory manufacturers were aware that the cost was going to be very high and units were very scarce.
So why force the industry to move where it was not ready? Why have cards with adapters for DDR4 and DDR5 not been created so that the user does not have to change models when the last are already in stock? Well, the reality is that the rules from Intel and the rest follow. It had a disadvantage against AMD and presenting the Core 12 where its rival will present the competition was not a good idea, since the new Ryzen should be faster, albeit slowly.
The launch was therefore mandatory as a dissuasive marketing measure which also incorporates two new features although they are behind: the name DDR5 and of course PCIe 5.0. The problem is that both technologies come before the market and their manufacturers are at least ready, it was not necessary and the users are not ready to pay what is asked, therefore the speed to remove the chipsets. H670, B660 and H610.
Intel ha sido víctima de su propia estrategia y ahora tiene que poner paños calientes, porque Zen 3+ puede tirar todo lo hecho por el retrete y Zen 4 llegará con el ecosistema de RAM y GPUs con stock y asentado, cosa que Intel necesitaba y no he got.
