NUVIA Phoenix SoC is 40-50 Percent Faster Than Zen 2 for a Third of Power

Simulated results.....

I simulate its 1 billion times worse. Prove me wrong

I simulated all these simulated results are from the same spot of mustard mixed together from 5 different hotdogs.

This is another privately owned Startup looking for a handout in the form of investors.

Proof is in the pudding, put out an actual product to be physically tested or shut the hell up. Had enough speculative companies blow smoke.

For all of the years Arm have been in the business...There has been not one performant desktop-class processor from Arm.
AMD's dalliance with Big/Little Arm style cores did not yield good results
There is a reason for that.
They are suited to small power envelope - small performance devices. (compared to AMD/Intel etc)

The x86/x64 codebase is also too large for Arm to do anything about, as Apple (being a minor player in semiconductor) will soon learn.

We got some snake oil news yesterday with Tachyum, and more today with NUVIA. Truly our cups doth runneth over! (With liquid fecal matter squeezed from the distended anuses of said companies' PR departments, but hey, news is news... right, TPU staff? Will we be getting any WccfTech rumours reported as news today? I cannot WAIT!)

Also, Geekbench. LOL. Way to kill any credibility you might have had, NUVIA.

I'd agree with you... but there seems to be a lot of buzz over the team NUVIA formed. This release here is all marketing... but some chip-nerds have thrown their weight behind NUVIA.

I take these results with a grain of salt (especially because they're simulated). However, that doesn't change the names behind NUVIA.

Gerard Williams: Worked at Apple as Chief CPU Architect, ARM, Intel, and TI.

Manu Gulati: Google, Apple (Lead of SoC team), Broadcom and AMD

John Bruno: Google, Apple, AMD, ATI, Chief Engineer to "Trinity" APU.

The buzz over this group is less about the claims they're making here. But the names behind these claims. These are the engineers who delivered the Apple SoC, which is pretty good by any real measurement. They probably can deliver a new chip with amazing capabilities. And now they're beginning to market some bold claims.

With that being said, the marketing blogpost is clearly shilling and was a waste of my time IMO. I'd be more interested if they were pushing out some details about why they think their chip is better (a larger decoder? A new methodology all together? A stepwise evolution that other companies haven't figured out yet? Etc. etc.). They're in the "generating hype" stage of their company, which is (unfortunately) necessary for funding these days.
