ARM and RISC-V isn't too far behind

If both AMD and Intel keep making mistake they will become history

AMD mistake is keeping AM5 prices too f**king high, HUB recently did a review and their basement budget Mobos are basically all crap so you cannot do a budget build with AM5 either, which is why AM4 is still hanging around and not getting replaced as it was supposed to be. This is a failure from product marketing POV.

And for a fabless maker, they also failed to prioritise software side of the CPU leading to systems being less stable (DOCP/EXPO, CCD priority) than Intel build (who still has to run a fab business). In that regards, heck even Nvidia has better grip on their various software ecosystems for other uses of their GPU.

Both have their faults and surprising it is Apple, another fabless brand, that is showing how to design CPU hardware with their superb M2 Ultra, with near flawless software integration. And then there is ARM...

Apple, ARM > Intel, AMD

All you AMD & Intel fanbois can balik rumah cry
*
Precisely, Apple Silicon is using AMRv8 architecture, it's part of the ARM family,

ARM can be designed and produced without much restriction like x86, even if AMD got brought up by other corp they cant continue to produce Zen like AMD.

not to mention Top500 supercomputer top 1st place was once using ARM processor made by fujitsu.
Amazon AWS server now use their own AWS graviton cpu also using ARM too.

Qualcomm just need to get their things done and need mass adoptions from big software vendor, get more game developers support and produce binary that works with the cpu without emulation.
it will take years, but probably worth the wait and x86 cpu will become secondary choice and slowly become thing in the past.

it's inevitable, then the consumer market will have cpu made by various vendors, not just AMD/Intel anymore.

In short, qualcomm just need to butt in to kick both x86 player awake, just remember what happened to the high end cpu still in quad fcking cores when AMD still underdog

PC space need competition, duopoly is bad

Its not that easy. Still limited to process nodes. Why would Intel and AMD push power usage up to 90-95C depending on cooling? Its physical limitations. Die shrinks becoming increasingly more difficult as well. Unless someone comes out with a new material for the processors.
*
They should design better architecture then, node shrink can only improve thermal and power efficiency,
One of the issue is lack of optimization, your program take longer time to complete instead of running efficiently,

A lot of programs already shifted their load to gpu, eg web canvas, 3d rendering, font rendering already runs on gpu, video playback, image post processing filters, etc, they're much faster on gpu and freed a lot of resources.
Better coded program would use both CPU and gpu, but it's very rare 😕

it's due to they not knowing or overconfident with their own CPU's tolerances to the point where it blows a hole in the substrate

one off issue right? i dont see any news from major tech site, unlike intel and the 12vhpwr

i did messed with my MSI board with OC before, luckily my MSI mobo is tank and lasted for many years lol, no cpu died.
it even out lasted my Enermax and SeaSonic PSU, both died and RMAed, for an entry board it's really bang for bucks, my next product will always MSI tongue.gif

i think its more like temporary distruption. People will be more keen to try new and hyped up products,
like the battery life and stuff, advertise so big, but small gain(with up and down on other performance  categories), meanwhile Intel n Amd might catch back few years later.
It's just more variety.
*
Both AMD and Intel can catch up performance, but for desktop you have to use gigantic coooler,
look at what Intel done to reach peak performance.

both cant catch up the efficiency that ARM have.
majority of android device are powered by ARM and apple inhouse CPU are ARM too.
then you have super computer powered by ARM too, the scalability and efficiency are what x86 cpu lacking.

remember how long you can use your phone or play games without worrying battery juice empty ?
you cant do that with x86 smartphone, because it does not exist, intel had one Atom powered android phone but it failed to make it into market,

Well, effectively, true, that is correct.
BUt just few things.

Gigantic coolers are mostly, not necessary actually. THat peak performance, its more like just to flex i got fastest cpu,
cause, that eventually makes into people mind, Intel is faster, Amd is faster, sedangkan that is only top end and high boost clock, blabla.
Point is, only if enabling prolonged pl2 crazy boost, high temps, hnce bigger cooler. But for for few percent performnce drop, but way less power and temp,
one can easily get away with normal coolers.
Also, AMD and Intel makes cpu that works with GPU and so much else high power draw(Voltage levels) components.
So, they can't make very low powered. (Correct me if im wrong).
For example, small speakers, u can use pc audio jack, that signal is enough.
But gigantic speakers, u need to amplify the signal itself. same with cpu, to talk with Gpu, and other more high power things.

Whereas ARm, they rely on igp and smaller voltage levels. This is my assumption.
So, we can't expect single component to cater both high perfomnce eco and stay low power also. THere is limit on Lowest voltage a cpu need to stay on.
Just like V12 need more power to stay on compared to v6.

Other than that, x86 and games without battery empty, in the end, for what it matters, battery life,
ARM does have its place. I always think about it also.
On phone/apple, right from wifi modul, using chrome, all can be done with battery, no coolers.
But on pc, lol, we need power supply, fan and cooling, and cpu that runs on higher power draw n temps.
*
actually all parties involved with x86 has done a lot of optimzation,
eg many heavy stuffs moved to GPU,
eg video decoding, to play 8K VP9/AV1, MPEG H265, etc are offloaded to GPU, you cant play it on old GPU, and CPU is out of questions。
the internet browsing, you think your cpu can handle those interactive and full screen scrolling website? they runs in GPU, CPU take back seat now.

x86 issues is still there because those ISA take up a lot of transistor and being useless there, many of our normal software don't use it,
in order to improve the performance, we have to relies on SSD and high clock speed CPU.
optimization require a lot of effort that usually only genius can write the code (assembly code).

ARM use little power because they have less ISA that take up the silicon space (Hence the cpu is RISC, while x86 is CISC)
ARM can runs on mobile devices to supercomputer.
while x86 is toward high performance computing

X86 also has a lot of legacy baggage in tow. Imagine that a 14900K could technically run programs made for Intel 8008 CPU, thats crazy longtime to be keeping compatibility. Many software have already ditched 32bit so in order for X86 to move forward at the least Lunarlake should ditch 32bit ISA and purely run on 64bit with software emulation to handle for any remainder 32bit programs.

Yes, Intel tried that with Itanium but then the emulation layer was terribly overcomplex while the CPU then werent fast enough for seamless software translation. These days, CPU are so efficient and powerful compared to IA64 that any emulation for less taxing 32bit shouldnt be a problem anymore.
*
Legacy instructions is fine, the issue are;
The software we use don't really use them
Then optimizations take a lot of time, hence most new software or game first version usually are just work, optimizations take place later.

Unless you use it on audio\video production:
https://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggdropxpd.php
You can see some of the Vorbis audio encoder have generic, p4 and athlon. These are optimized for different CPU
The lancer build is supercharged written by Japanese guy. Lancer one is one of the best example that software can really use the cpu instruction and multithread capabilities.

Then the video codec behind OBS, mpc-hc, are also runs in cpu and gpu combo,
X86 is still good for these kind of workload, but for other task strangely they use a lot of power but the performance is poor,
Another thing you can blame is Windows 11, it's such a powerhog.
I use edge regularly and it's no better than chrome.

Windows and their x86 partner should add low power CPU such as arm for low power use,
If Sony can use both arm and AMD jaguar on PS4, why windows PC can't?

On average the idle on my amd system is really poor, when it's idle the load is still there, both AMD and windows 11 does a really shitty job
My Intel tablet idle can last for 3 days, on battery

my old pc and lappy had experienced freeze and i will just hard reset, old one is 960 evo, new one is micron SSD
both SSd survived as i keep hard reset everyday lol

Err a windows update crash has very little to do with the CPU, so blame should be given but given to the right causes. Its the same like peeps blaming Microsoft for Crowdstrike outtage, and while the its easy to blame Windows for being too sensitive to kernel faults, the blame should be going to CS for for their buggy update.

My 2sen experience, SSD seems very sensitive to hard crashes I had a MLC drive that supposed to be more durable but it died after few Windows crash. If your game is this sensitive, I suggest run it from a HDD as it has less damages from crashes, my HDDs that was connected to that MLC drive outlasted and still in use today.
*
older HDD tends to last longer due to lighter load, eg single platter, my hitachi 500gb and WD 320GB still running, both already run beyond the MTFB
while my toshiba 2TB died, some older model use multiplatter tend to died as soon as the warranty expired

We talked about X86 backwards compatibility hampering its evolution progress but here is real proof how ridiculous deep it can running software way back to the DOS days.

https://www.techspot.com/news/104118-check-...n-hardware.html

Since X86 could not be weaned off its legacy limitations, there is no option than to move onto modern CPU uarchs that has no such need ie ARM & RISC V.
*
no one took the initiative, microsoft? AMD? Intel?, back ward compatible is good but too many ancient stuff is no no.
What AMD did was added x64 extension, it helped to extend x86 cpu life
Intel hit the wall with itanium.

honestly who runs ancient stuff on latest shiny cpu with 5GHz 16 cores? nope.
Old software has too many limitation it will not able to utilize all the cpu.

I still have really old game such as heretic and other dos games run perfectly fine either via Steam or inside VirtualBox.
when ancient stuff can be emulated then it should be removed, other wise it will snowballing, old stuff should be left behind, like what AMD and Nvidia did do their old GPU
they only support old GPU up to certain version of OS, or number or years.


why qualcomm elite cpu can emulate x86 cpu while their own powerful x86 cpu couldnt...?
like, who still writing software optimize for MMX? new instructions are much more faster...

Smaller litho helps to pack in more cores and improve power efficiency but it doesnt explain why Apple M still has better ipc than Intel/AMD X86, its all to do with the uarch being designed from scratch.
*
I think it's more on optimization, x86 desktop app are notoriously power hog, although may parts of the 2d stuff already offloaded to gpu, it's still far from perfect,
When I opened map Google chrome on my amd lappy, shit is so slow I have to enable performance mode and it also turned to jet engine
I can open the same map on my OnePlus 7t pro and all things rendered instantly... The phone still can play all sorts of games albeit slower

Its like badly optimised games gets pushed out bcoz developers know they can always rely on 4090s & 4080s to run these titles at acceptable FPS, the same type sloppy developers dont really care for X86 code optimisation as the CPU isnt built up to prioritise efficiency as much as their same software for ARM (you practically have to develop within a power/thermal envelope limit).
*
depends on publisher,
good publisher like Bethesda who developed Doom series, known for supporting OpenGL at first, then Vulkan rendering support was added later, and all the following games use id Tech 6 and newer have very good performance
Then CDPR released "it just work" game to public, not too bad it still runs like crap, they did keep updating the games.

they collect your system data when crash or probably have telemetry enabled, then optimize accordingly.
Square Enix knows of slow update iirc, most of my Tomb raider games dont get update as much as the other AAA game publisher.

unlike some publisher called ubi kentang lol

Not sure why you are comparing desktop part to mobile part, to compare should be xelite to amd ai 9 300 series.
Most of the time it show a bit difference in performance and power but it is not big difference.

Regarding the uarch, you cannot run 16bit and 32bit function in windows 10 64. So why point out this. Just because the instruction set still support that, it does not mean it is still used in pc.

Heck 16bit not even supported in now...
Instruction set

AMD64 (x86-64) (AMD64 only support 32bit and 64bit)
Extensions
Crypto AES, SHA
SIMD MMX-plus, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSE4A, SSSE3, FMA3, AVX, AVX2, AVX512
Virtualization AMD-V

The only problem i see in this ARM vs x86 pc is RISC vs CISC design which is only affect by the legacy design of the operating system since the instruction set are different.
*
32bit is still widely used and most programs ARE 32 bit..,

16 bit is hecking slow but old game runs with dosbox you dont really feel sluggish.
before that you still can run 16bit applications but MS removed the NTVDM on newer windows

user posted image
we're running mixed 32 and 64 bits, some programs still default on 32 due to devs dont see the benefits to compile them exclusively to 64 bits.

Free dos is 32 bit not 16 bit.

32 bit support is not as big deal as you think...
It might took space but it doesn't hinder performance as the part was not used when it is not used...
The real problem is the operating system. U try run amd processor in linux... and run arm processor in linux... still amd will have better performance there.

Plus there is huge difference in lithography between amd hs processor and sd x elite processor. Better lithography increase efficiency and performance by alot.
*
Linux is very scalable, most routers runs on Linux, microcontrollers, also linux powered...
then at my work place my company use Win10 IOT LTSC on some atom processor, shit is hecking slow lol, it should have been on linux.

For ARM processor, perhaps android devices and apple products are best example that Ios and Android (Unix like, and latter is linux) runs very well with ARM cpus (apple sillicon/Qualcomm SD), because they're optimized to run on battery
ARM can be found on supercomputer to mobile devices.

By the way we shifted the topic too far away, Intel do provide extended warranty for the CPU,
business ethic wise Intel isnt very good, AMD is not better but hopefully it wont go bankrupt,
we finally have Intel GPU and i can see some developer added the Intel GPU exclusive function to games, eg Cyberpunk 2077.

Can't let the AMD/nVidia duopoly to dominate again as without competition the gpu price will always go wild
