If you look at Meteor, the most important component of the processor (cores, cache memory, etc.) will be manufactured by Intel using the Intel 4 process (2 or 3nm TSMC equivalent). You just said that intel can produce the engine of a car but does not have the technology to manufacture the steering wheel. I can't understand how you keep your horse glasses on and gallop ridiculously.
Are Alder and Raptor produced at TSMC?
Intel 10 is TSMC 7 nm equivalent
Intel 7 is TSMC 5nm equivalent
No denying Intel has a advantage over AMD. They have their own FABS which AMD seemingly will never have. They control the, when, were, and how, which AMD cannot have any control over themselves, but rely on someone else for. Every AMD user may poke fun at Intel, but imo just wait till they get it right, which they will do eventually, then AMD will be behind again. Go on laugh at my opinion, poke fun at me AMD users, but you know it is true. Look how good Alder Lake was, even with the high balls out power use, which imo does not matter, as no one runs their CPU this way all the time anyway. Raptor Lake and Meteor Lake will be even better, after that, probably better, who knows. All the while AMD will keep on relying on someone else to produce their wafers, with no direct control over the production or quality.
What ever camp you are in, the next few years will be a good one for both of us to enjoy, so let us just do that without all the usual TPU bickering eh.
Guess how much money Intel are going to make off Mediatek? a fuck ton, which is what AMD is paying TSMC for its services. Shame AMD cannot sell its services as Intel are doing.
