Whens amd releasing new desktop cpus (that compete with intel)a

blenderbros1 · Aug 30, 2014

After piledriver, that was the last i heard of amd in the gaming market for cpus. When are they releasing new ones (with intel releasing 8 cores) what socket type if so? or are they really just sticking with low end stuff for now on?

Nobody knows, we know AM3+ wont be receiving any more high end CPUs, but I highly doubt AMD is going to leave the high end market. They are likely going to focus on low-mid range processors for the time being.

great community here

always answers you fast.

The other thing to realize is that AMDs vision here is fundamentally different. They believe that Intel will eventually have to join them at a converged die because the next frontier of performance efficiency is eliminating the bus transit time.

It's a big and risky bet. If they are right then they will have "invested" years of lower sales into developing experience doing it first and figuring out how to work the kinks out of things like the single die thermal envelope. And the reward will be hopefully a generation or two of advantage at that point. Not to mention the side benefits of knowledge already being harvested for K1 in the SoC/Devices space.

For my money, I think Intel is smarter than that. They are releasing converged chips on the low end that are providing some of that experience and negating the perceived advantage while also being more performant in current generations.

This is true, for the sake of AMD lets hope this bet is a bit better than theirs regarding games using more than 4 cores.

So amd is trying to start from the bottom and get a head start than intel, so when it comes time to go to the same type of die . amd will have the upper hand? but then your saying intel all ready has the upper hand and are prepared ?

so confused.

AMD is more invested in the integrated chips than intel, so they have the advantage there now. Intel has some stake, but their profit lies in the enthusiast market.
