I thought I saw some rumor about 10.2 AVX but I can't remember if that mean AVX512 or not.

I guess, depends how well old BIOS are maintained and all that. It is nice that AMD has keep sockets longer and it really helped when AMD was behind or far behind on performance. If there is so little improvement going forward as we have seen from both companies like in the last few years...

While annoying for people that build their own PCs, how many normal people are impacted by this? Even when sockets have lived awhile CPU support isn't always great long term for early socket adopters because of changes in power requirements or other technical changes.

Still getting updates, I guess I didn't realize that. Oops.

This would be more of a concern if the EOL the a770 or all of the aXXX cards.

If you want to use the new Boost button I would expect any of the 8000mhz with lower timings. Some or all MB default to 8000 not matter the XMP settings with the newer Intel Boost setting enabled. Not sure there is much to gain for real performance by getting much about 8000mhz anyways.

In what way? Working on multiple versions of HW at a time? Having a dedicated software and driver team? Release driver updates regularly? Having affordable pricing so they have a big enough install base to get driver and HW feedback to improve? Creating a road map that using the new GPU...

Waiting for the ASUS Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF OC Xtreme WTFBBQ version

Sounds like arguments that Intel use to make...

Just tried this out on a 265k and my 8200 kit runs at 8000mhz, voltage was 1.4v before.

But India supports Russia! /s

Because 20A yields where not good enough to continue and behind schedule as well, though they did show that backside power did work on 20A (and gate all around?) The early success statement related to where they were in the over all process is just disconnected with the actual calendar. Both...

Both 20A and 18A are behind schedule. 20A was not renamed 18A, because 20A was not going to have back side power deliver and the new gate design. If Intel was lucky they save some investment because they are not needing to improve yields on "similar" nodes for 2 different gate designs.

Thanks for the explanation Wirko!

I remember the front side diagrams showing the power "rails" going all they way through the chip vs not on back side. Looking again it seems like the "size" of the signal wires is smaller and not competing for space? I might have miss understood/remembered the diagram and it doesn't impact the...
