Intel just got on the mainstream 8 core AMD 12 core storm

From the current signs, Intel's eight-generation Core will bring up to 8 cores and 16 threads for the first time in the mainstream desktop market, and then catch up with the AMD Ryzen series, but AMD will not sit still. In a section of the B450 motherboard promotion video, there is a description of 'Enhanced layout and digital pwoer design for 8-core and up CPU', that is, the circuit layout of this B450 motherboard, digital power supply design, can support 8 or even more Multi-core CPU.

AMD mainstream Ruilong is currently up to 8 cores and 16 threads. More cores are ThreadRipper thread tearers. The interface and motherboard are different. This is undoubtedly suggesting that the mainstream Ruilong will also surpass the 8 cores, and continue to adopt the AM4 interface. , continue to be compatible with 300/400 series motherboards!

Ruilong's Zen architecture adopts CCX modular design. Each module has 4 cores. If you continue to increase, you can certainly achieve 12 cores. Of course, you can also shield some parts and make 10 cores at the same time.

At present, the development of the new Zen 2 architecture of the 7nm process is progressing smoothly. The dragons of the Ruilong and the data center will be on the next year. Under the new technology and the new architecture, it is believed that the original 12 cores will not have much difficulty, and it is not necessary to be like threads. Ripper, Snapdragon, multi-core integration package.

Intel has already polished the 14nm process and the existing architecture. If it is to be fully upgraded, it is estimated that the 10nm process will be able to mass-produce, and then with the upgrade of the architecture, the time is at least one year later, the pressure is indeed not small.
