TSMC announced they've completed the infrastructure design for the 5 nm process, which is the next step in silicon evolution when it comes to density and performance. TSMC's 5 nm process will leverage the company's second implementation of EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet) technology (after it's integrated in their 7 nm process first), allowing for improved yields and performance benefits.
According to TSMC, the 5 nm process will enable up to 1.8x the logic density of their 7 nm process, a 15% clock speed gain due to process improvements alone on an example Arm Cortex-A72 core, as well as SRAM and analog circuit area reduction, which means higher number of chips per wafer. The process is being geared for mobile, internet, and high performance computing applications. TSMC also provides online tools for silicon design flow scenarios that are optimized for their 5 nm process. Risk production is already ongoing.
Well, not literally. But some people were predicting that once Intel gets their shit together AMD loses their Zen 2 lead. They might not.
Carter Hall
>ut some people were predicting that once Intel gets their shit together AMD loses their Zen 2 lead.
Jow Forums doesn't know shit. This place was convinced Intel was sandbagging 10nm just to BTFO AMD when Zen originally dropped in 2017. Turns out, they weren't.
Eli Martin
Oh shit I was thinking of buying zen 2 but now I need to wait for 5nm.
only idiots said that we pretty much concluded that intel was lying the day they refreshed the skylakes after the first ryzen release and pretty much confirmed that their 10nm is shit with the cascade lake fiasco
aka their 10nm was just a die shrink and nothing else
Ryder Jones
BASED LISA. Can't wait for my 5nm Ryzen 3 APU laptop with 12 threads 3.8GHz and 5W power consumption that makes the battery last 4 days.
In 10 years they'll reminisce how Ryzen was kang and how they were forced to use Intel's next Nehalem
Connor Harris
>Ryzen 5000 series >5nm >DDR5 >PCIe 5 >5GHz all-core AMD better deliver that 5-5-5-5-5. Plus Arcturus or whatever they end up calling it.
Liam Martin
Zen2 isn't even out yet bruv
Henry Brown
Obviously this is an exaggeration but I'm genuinely excited to see whats in store for zen2 APUs, considering the leap in performance from pre zen APUs to now
Anthony Allen
but a ryzen 5 3rd gen beat an i9 9900k bruv
Levi Hernandez
A friendly reminder to all these retards jumping into conclusions.
Intel's 14nm is comparable in area to TSMC's 7nm while Intel's 12nm is to TSMC's 5nm. Intel's 10nm is bleeding edge tech and no wonder they have so many trouble with it.
Makes no difference whether it's +/- 5% of 9900k, it's still going to outsell Intel.
Jaxson Adams
NO goy ples buy intel
Jacob Bennett
>Intel was sandbagging 10nm just to BTFO AMD when Zen originally dropped in 2017 lol
Ayden Hughes
Who cares what nm it is. What matters is performance/price
Brandon Fisher
So Intel is finished.
Levi Rivera
I really dont like jews so im rooting for you, shame there are 8 intel computers in this household. I guess ill buy an amd next time
Ian Bailey
Will intel next products include the vulnerability features that have existed for 20 years?
Aaron Davis
No goy you're perfectly safe.............
Benjamin Cox
but real men own fabs sir please do the needful
Daniel Bennett
Different CEO
Josiah Sanchez
Working as intended, goy
Sebastian Gonzalez
You can't be serious
Kevin Hall
He's waiting for Intel 5nm
Austin Reed
it's a feature, goy.
Owen Wilson
This time however Intel does not have neither node advantage or a new architecture that can either reuse or improve. How are they supposed to make a comeback if they can't make 10nm work after 5 years?
Hunter Cruz
yeah they'll suddenly gut their billion-dollar fabs and outsource everything to TSMC. dumb fuck
Luis Anderson
Sure, let's comprare a working 7nm and a next-to-work 5nm with a "may exist" 10nn
Jose Allen
just wait goy
Nicholas James
Not that user but myself I already decided to wait for Ryzen 4000 since I want a 7nm APU and they're not coming this year
Alexander James
Or perhaps even Ryzen 5000 and AM4 successor because an APU could really use some DDR5
Jose Allen
He was comparing working 7nm with a working 14nm though, 10nm was being compared to 5nm and they're both a future thing, and you have to be truly delusional to imply 5nm status is ahead of 10nm
Adam Collins
none of these advances hold a candle to 3d xpoint which can be fab'd straight onto the die communication, not processing, is the bottleneck in modern systems
Adrian Harris
>you have to be truly delusional to imply 5nm status is ahead of 10nm No one has ever been such an Intcel to say something like that. 7nm Is comparable to the original Intel 10nm, but given that Intel is reducing his node to finally use it, it means that it is probably behind TSMC 7nm. Now imagine that EUV 5nm will bring, it is in risk production NOW and probably ready for next year. Intel is not even producing anything outside a few useless i3. Guess which process is really behind schedule?
Josiah Murphy
so what happens when they can't shrink transistors anymore? they can't possibly stack silicon dies forever, right?
Nathan Ross
moar coars!1!! and quantum co-processors
Jaxson Garcia
N-Not fair. B-B-but Moore law ended in 2009 when we introduced Sandybridge. Why is AMD trying to lie? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Julian Cook
maybe they can, if they can fit cooling in tall stacks of silicon. or maybe just add cpu sockets. so an average person can have dual socket for his desktop
Samuel Wood
based chinks
Samuel Harris
Except Intel hasn't been able to right course for over 5 years now. Remember a Haswell refresh wasn't planned let alone 4+ architectures on 14 nm. 10 nm was suppose to arrive in 2016.
10nm might be dead in the water but they're working on getting back on track with 7nm EUV. Whether 7nm is enough to make a comeback remains to be seen but it's not like they have no prospects at all. Also maybe that retarded 3D stacked die sandwich cpu amounts to something eventually. Never know.
Isaac Jones
that's what happens when you hire h1bs
Josiah Martin
Yeah I can't wait to upgrade my pc to an arm processor
Jacob Stewart
ARM would be a downgrade
Christopher Gutierrez
>3D stacking huge, power-hungry dies with sky-high clocks It will be the end of us all
Gabriel Sanders
why do you hates divertisty sir
Jacob Johnson
it would save a lot of power
Jackson Myers
>tfw ryzen + nvidia I for one welcome our asian overlords.
Nathan Allen
2077 is finally the year intel 5nm superpower will destroy amd
Jaxon Ramirez
Not really Even in phones the only reason they are so low power compared to laptops/desktops is because of all the fixed function hardware and the fact they are just weaker
Grayson Morales
I do agree that we may eventually see a 7nm process from Intel eventually, But given the amounts of delays, money spent and lyies about how broken it was, it is hard to believe in Intel once more. This even makes me wonder how Intel after 5 years is still without a demand for lying.
Has anyone got a chart of scaling factors compared to each companies process node? What makes AMD's 12nm nearly equivalent to 14nm on Intel for instance?
Thomas Morgan
based incel poster
Luis Jones
>so what happens when they can't shrink transistors anymore?
Other materials. Maybe graphene, but that one is still a meme - I want my 1000GHz processors already.
Jaxson Morris
Yeah it needs some material that has less resistance.
You get quantum effects where electrons flip and give incorrect readings.
Wyatt Hall
what are they going to do to improve the processors?
Blake Peterson
More cores
Brayden Baker
Guy's fucking clueless. Intel's 3D stacking is for ultra low power parts. It's not competing with Zen 2 on any level. If anything it's competition for Snapdragon laptops. Neither stands a chance against ARM Macbooks.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Different metals and coatings to prevent crosstalk between the lanes or something. It may not be on silicon at all though. Perhaps biological is one way forward using DNA strands.
Xavier Thompson
3nm GAAs from both TSMC and Samsung, with the rest of the industry following 2-3~ years behind as every upcoming Chinese fab inevitably steals the IP. Maybe Global Foundries will continue with their hard push for UTBB/ET-SOI processes past 12 FDX, if thats the case then there will be absurdly cheap and high performance processes available at prices we haven't seen for years.
There is still quite a lot of life left in silicon substrates and conventional transistor topology.
Matthew Garcia
DNA computing is a meme invented to secure research funding from suckers. Its going nowhere.
Kayden Thomas
>more cores Brainlet here. How will they fit more cores into the same chip if they can't make everything smaller anymore?
Moore cores past a certain point gives diminishing returns in most workloads. There will be a day when we are measuring our e-peens by the number of 3D layers that are stacked on our processors.
Mason Flores
We need an optical computer. Light speed is flippin fast.
Angel Torres
Microchip size doesn't really matter anymore, they're already as small as can be.
What really matters these days is battery size, power consumption
Gabriel Price
>buying a 3D stacked meme chip instead of a God tier vertical GAA optical interconnect chip Wasting your money, fren
Theres been tons of research into optoelectronics, optical interconnects to replace copper for signaling, even optical logic gates. There gets to be a scaling issue with photo receptors because of the nature of them. You need a fairly long tunnel to ensure the photon has high enough probability of hitting something in the receptor to produce a charge. It'd work for signaling, but not replacing the xtors in a super dense chip.
>not understanding why smaller processes contribute to lower power consumption Why are you fucking here?
Isaac Cox
First person to invent a nanometer scale optical resistor wins the internets.
Owen Edwards
Thats what AMD did and look at them now
Andrew James
i-intelbros?
Ryder Scott
Its over. Time to sell all the stock and retire to Israel. What a shoah. Anti-semitic Micro Devices is killin us.
Carson Robinson
>"look at them now" >in steady decline since Barcelona, lost 90% of their value >bound by a shitty contract with a good-for-nothing foundry that would be even more useless if they didn't license everything from Samsung, still managed to fuck up their magical 5,000 niggahurtz 7nm >endless GCN respins that cannot compete with 75W NVIDIA GPUs >reached rock bottom in 2016 Nobody expected AMD to survive, but Intel needs a fucking miracle for it to work
Brayden Murphy
>stacking
Josiah Walker
he is actually making a case as to why intel for the past 15 years hasnt delivered a 10nm as their own slides promised..
