The two titans are in a heated battle, circling them around each other, bouncing with their fists and the second one introducing obstacles where Intel can handle only moments without breaking down. AMD dissolves the cardboard at the speed of Satan to not let his opponent breathe, but he is already looking in the middle of the struggle while enduring the envestida.
Intel will come first and then double, AMD will have to cut the deadline
The fight will be decided in the coming years, no doubt. AMD won't be able to knock off Intel, it just managed to knock it around the corner and provide a number of precise milestones that haven't made much of a dent, at least not yet.
In the face of attack, Intel is facing the best it has, not enough, it is possible, but it does not shrink its arms and has one and a half years to come. It's about persevering through the bad times to launch the artillery at the right circle, this is how it fights and how the times will look.
Intel will reach the first DDR5 market with Sapphire Rapids as an astronomical platform and through this its performance will climb to another level for its Xeon processors.
And it will do so thanks to manufacturers such as SK Hynix, who have already announced mass production of this type of memory this year, so that by 2021 Intel will have more modules available to present its platform with assurances of success among your key clients.
AMD Zen 3 will save DDR4 and PCIe 4.0, Zen 4 will arrive later DDR5
As planned, Zen 3 will arrive sometime this year (if Coronavirus allows it). But its new build will carry the same services as the current Zen 2 and the Ryzen 3000 and although this is enough to launch on Intel (it will match AMD and Rocket Lake-S at the end of the year, in theory), it won't be enough to launch them before the appearance of Meteor Lake.
Next year Intel will set the precision at 10 nm, maintain its maximum capacity and by 2022 will launch its 7 nm with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5, in the imagination of its major platforms, which will mean the introduction of technologies like CXL.
At that time, AMD will be ready for Zen 4, but it is anticipated that it will arrive in early 2022 due to the delay experienced by the epidemic, because TSMC will have a 5 nm main node ready with solvency. As we have seen in other articles, PCIe 5.0 will double the bandwidth of this bus and DDR5 will launch speeds from 3,200 MHz to 8,400 MHz in a short period of time, when this speed is expected to exceed a few years to reach Level 10s. GHz before the end of its useful life.
The war has just begun, Intel will come first and with it take over a large portion of the server market, it may come before the desktop, so it's all in the hands of AMD and the potential downsides of Zen 4, maybe early 2022?
