Intel has done a fair bit of talking recently over successes from its 18A process node, which rather brings up the question, "why bother with 20A at all, if 18A is already yielding well?" Apparently someone at Intel had the same thought, as the company has announced today that it is canceling the 20A node altogether...

Don't blame us for the awkward construction in the headline, because Intel has formally named the stability problem affecting its 13th- and 14th-generation desktop CPUs: "Vmin Shift Instability Issue". Non-words aside, the issue is that the company's high-powered Raptor Lake desktop CPUs have issues with excess...

Before the launch of AMD's Zen 5 CPUs, many people remarked that Intel's Raptor Lake woes had left AMD with a competitive "opening" against rival Intel. However, given the modest performance and efficiency gains over the previous-generation Zen 4 parts in client workloads, the narrative has now shifted, with some...

As soon as the broader discussion about the Raptor Lake stability issues began, many people were already speculating that the potential "fix" would have a deleterious effect on performance. In essence, the thought process was that Intel had achieved its chart-topping performance by pushing the chips too far along the...

AMD continues to gain ground on rival Intel, the latter of which has historically dominated the x86 landscape with a lopsided share of the market. Overall, that has not changed—Intel still claims the lion's share of the x86 market and even increased its lead, but the most recent gains come with a couple of important...
