Rome looks like an absolute beast, if leaked benchmarks are any indication. A site called Chip Hell released a benchmark showing a prototype Rome processor performing 10 times faster than a high-end Intel Xeon. However, this is one site, and I don’t know its track record. But it looks like a doosy if true.

Proof is in the numbers, Intel custom foundry is dead and buried. No customers.
No fabless outfit will chain themselves to demonstrated losers.
But one sole supplier has speeded up its execution and has Giga fabs to easily support new products, has thousands of engineers working three shifts.
The other sole supplier decided a great ACT was required and cut experienced for cheap RCGs, has lost a three year lead and slowed down its process cadence and made its captive product team roadmap FUBAR. Oh also believes a single shift of engineers with little experience and working 7 days a week and answering pages day, night and weekends is the the way to success and recovery.
If I was a fabless design house I know who I’d hitch my product roadmap
Lisa Su says keep the TMG management and let bean counter bob keep doing the acting CEO, and most important let AB keep doing it like the last few years
AMDs position is similar but stronger than their mid 90s assault on intel.
Strong technical and good CEO
Have a silicon manufacturing partner that is the best in the industry with huge capacity
A new design that shows great competitive benchmarks.
On the other side you got
A headless giant with no clear direction nor any obvious possible new CEO.
A totally disfunctional BOD that allowed the decay to this sad situation.
A totally broken product roadmap with no understanding of when its next silicon node will arrive. Got to plan for to very expensive scenarios.
A totally failure in silicon
A total FUBAR
pathetic copy pasta. parroting the big lie repeatedly is standard intel management practice.
"AMD is now tied to one supplier, TSMC, which is not a good negotiating position."
Intel is now tied to one supplier, TMG, which is not a good negotiating position.
It's a miracle it survived 50 years...
Just a bunch of parroting managers who will tell the most popular stories of the day
When BK started his comedy spiel of "virtuous cycle" in Q2 2016, every group VP, GM, Sr PE, Fellow was generously repeating in their group sync meetings like a bunch of clueless toddlers. Surprise, surprise, noone even faintly remembers it today. Intel management is an effing bunch of lemmings, ready to gyrate their hi*s at the latest group hypnotic trick invented by the top management - be it virtuous cycle, diversity hiring, or feckless road map inflections, or shabbiest ever 50 year celebrations.
Intel has no leadership left in its ranks. Just a bunch of parroting managers who will tell the most popular stories of the day, all while stealing money they are not worth, and obviously do not have the capacity to move Intel forward technologically.
