AMD 7Ghz? This keeps popping up on my feeds!

I'd consider 18A 2nm, but would AMD even use Intel fabrication?

Dude Intel can't even use Intel fabrication.

Well if that's the case, I'd expect 6.5 at most for Zen 6

Just half a GHz? Maybe.

Or.. maybe all core will hit 6GHz this time, and boost to 7ghz with PBO.. I haven't watched any videos or read anything about this so I have no idea..

It's the same arch. A 3 Ghz Netburst Pentium 4 is faster than a 2.4Ghz Netburst Pentium 4.

And a 1.5 GHz Pentium IV is slower than a 1.3 GHz Pentium III.

I'm not saying the upcoming CPUs aren't worth thinking about, no, they totally are but what matters is overall performance and not the raw frequency number.

Zen 6 achieves more than Zen 5 and I don't need a performance overlay to tell them apart? Good. Prices aren't RDNA4+Blackwell fiesta? Fantastic. The amount of bugs and instabilities isn't increased? Sign me up!

Being entirely honest, the whole rivalry thing is a lot more down to our level than theirs. If Intel can competitively price their foundry services and provide something at the level of TSMC, I'd say it's not entirely outside of the realm of possible that the likes of AMD, Apple and Qcom would use IFS to have their processors done, especially now that IFS is legally, a separate entity from Intel Corporation itself. The one that wouldn't is Scamsung, since they have their foundry too

With the 180 nm process, the Pentium III stopped scaling beyond 1 GHz. The 1.13 GHz SKU was recalled. The Pentium 4, on the other hand, reached 2 GHz on the same node. Despite the Pentium 4's shortcomings, I doubt that a 2 GHz P4 suffers in comparison to a 1 GHz P3.

Considering the switch to backside power delivery that promised 20%? Maybe for silicon lottery winners, and with a thinner soldered IHS or bare die.

Wishful thinking. All aboard the hype train.

anything attached to MLID is normally bullshit
