if intel weren't shitting themselves before.

Very interesting tech stuff. I've seen some vids and articles about it.

The most important thing though is for it to bring more performance. And it seems it'll do.

 

what theyve done is basically added an ssd to the cpu itself theyve layerd the same l3 memory used in m.2s on top of the existing cache hence why your getting the added performance.

 

Yeah, that active bridge I think was called. I didn't know the new cache was the same of some SSDs. It's a new cache layer or still L3?

Also, I'm not positive but I think the fact of being physically closer also improves bandwidth.

Intel has been researching their own 3D packaging for quite some time. As usual lately they haven't delivered, I think the first Intel "3D" chip will be that new GPU that doesn't promise much. Given the market shortage they'll probably still sell it.

What an irony, Intel doing worse than ever but still improving their sells compared to AMD. Just because their factories are not so overwhelmed by demand.

Let's see how their 10nm works out. That 10nm originally planned for 2016

 

Nice, but am I the only one triggered by the writer's usage of MiB when describing the cache sizes? AMD specifically states their numbers in MB, NOT MiB.
