Intel CPU prices going up?

We all are, as Intel obviously won't tell us. Anything you or I say will just be guesses. No point in mentioning it even, as it's assumed. But we all have our years of experience to draw on, and our guesses can be somewhat accurate. Intel is having to produce six- and eight-core processors when it's used to producing only quad-core maximum. It produced a lot of good dies of quad-core, but a hex- or octa-core will have larger dies, and that would make the number of good dies lower. A die that is twice as big will result in an overall 75%-80% decrease in the number dies per wafer. That includes wasted space along the sides of the wafer. Whereas AMD is just continuing to produce quad-core dies all day long, and if it wants an octa-core, it just gives you two of them! Yousuf Khan I think the Ryzen is a single die with two CCX on it. So your yield is for an 8 core chips. https://wccftech.com/amd-zeppelin-so...4-cores-rumor/ Paul |
