… "So in a single building, we can create a lithography mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design." Intel does bring some much-needed expertise to the endeavor, though it's yet to disclose to what extent it's involv… …
… Areal density is now volumetric, so that instead of getting cheaper, smaller, lower power, and more democratic, silicon technology is bloating in price, size, power greed, and feudalism. …
… While this does seem to benefit AMD's 9000-series silicon, it doesn't help the 7800X3D, which trails all three of the Intel chips in this particular benchmark. …
