Nvidia just made some MASSIVE announcements in terms of ARM-based computers, so they're now joining Apple and AMD in the fight against Intel and their x86-based chips.

Oops, I meant to ping someone else.

Xeon processors are likely to continue to hold a major part of the server market for at least the next five years, regardless of other competing CPUs.

Man. In the 90’s I saw Intel as “Toyota” and AMD as “Hyundai”.

Then again, who thought the “Honda car” was anything special? But look at the company now. Intel may become Oldsmobile.

[SunkenCiv]

Heh...

[ConservativeMind]

AMD is a far better line of processors, now.

It astounds me that Intel can’t get smaller process technology working. Maybe Intel needs to step up and license the technology from IBM/Samsung/TSMC.

[SunkenCiv]

Intel's going to last until it can't maintain its non-mobile market share and margins on chips. They've got a lot of fab capacity of their own. Apparently they're still confident that they can pull off 10 nm architecture, but TSMC is already making 5 nm, and probably has 4 nm coming (perhaps in weeks).

I have been out of the game for a bit, but loved AMD chipsets.

Nvidia buy ARM, Nvidia says AAPL must pay licence fees, AAPL says too much $$, buys Nvidia.

[SmokingJoe]

There is no RIP Intel.
I heard that so many times over the last 20 years and Intel is still alive and as strong as ever today.

AMD has had its ups and downs. The Ryzen CPUs rooooool (sorry, but I heard that) and are also in short supply, so on balance, not much of a threat to Intel in the short- and middle- term.

AMD was building a giant fab in, hmm, I think Maryland, some years (less than ten?) ago, their finances cratered for a while, that was cancelled, they couldn't quite finish up their then-current chip development, then they got new talent, including that CEO (Asian, engineer, two X chromosomes), and started to turn it around.

They rely on TSMC I think (same as Apple), which has the best manufacturing tech now, but doesn't have the kind of capacity (yet) that Intel has.

[SunkenCiv]

Heh, we think alike. Apple's already headed this possible problem off at the pass, has bought up long term licenses. Their recent A-series chips (for the iPhones) have been the first to use the latest iterations of ARM architectures.

Intel might also wind up in Apple's add-to-cart.

That’s funny. I always bought Intel because I preferred the chipsets and available options on next motherboards. Currently I’m on an Intel I7-9700 with a SuperMicro board and 2x1tb m2 SSD and 32 GB Ram. FR loads tolerably fast. No graphics card, though. Benchmark programs describe it as an aircraft carrier.

[SunkenCiv]

And no one got fired for buying IBM. Intel had better find a lot of good ideas for IOT uses of their lighter CPUs (Celerons, this one is holding up fine right now, uh, mostly) and get it out there just to maintain their production levels. **** changes.

Apple’s new M series chips seemingly have them all beat. Their M series equipped in their lowest-end macs is beating out all but the absolutely highest-end chips used in the PC market while still being ultra cool. It’s been said that they’re due to release a processor for their mid-range and possibly high-end within the next couple months.

NVIDIA’s arm chips will likely come closest
