Intel 'Alder Lake' chips take same approach as Apple's ARM designs

This is merely the dying last gasp from a cash cow that became so fat from it’s monopolistic position that it couldn’t move out of its own way.
Now go, you serpent, go tongue kiss and embrace Microsoft goodnight and we’ll all enjoy a double pyrotechnic display unparalleled in the tech world since its Big Bang creation those mere decades ago.
The world will suffer neither of your demises.
And what exactly is going to kill them? Apple? Not a chance. The commercial/enterprise market buys that majority of Intel's chips. They are not going to switch over to OS X simply because the M1 is superior. They are way too dependent on Microsoft's tightly integrated product offerings to change over to something else for a performance gain that won't make a real impact on productivity or efficiency. Similarly, Apple has no interest in entering the data center market. Intel's market is pretty safe.

borps said:So they have a CISC architecture that requires more transistors than a RISC design like the M1 and they are using a 10nm process while Apple is already at 5nm. Sounds like a plan.It is probably the best option they have. They can't just start using 5nm. And they do not really need to try to compete with Apple. It's highly unlikely Apple is going to sell their chips to anyone else for use with Windows. So Intel really only needs to compete with AMD and the pitiful ARM SoCs designed by Samsung/Qualcomm/Rockchip/etc.Saying Intel is emulating Apple's ARM design is a little bit misleading. They are basing this off of big.LITTLE and DynamIQ. Neither were designed by Apple.

First there has to be a viable product to shift to. No one other than Apple can make an ARM processor even remotely competitive to Intel at this time. It is not clear when that will change. People have been predicting the death of x86 for decades. It may happen in the next decade and it may not. At this point Intel's biggest threat is certainly AMD, who has made a competitive product available today. Intel's corporate customers can easily switch over to AMD.Xed said:
Just like the iPhone with the 1% Jobs wanted to take was never going to effect Blackberry or Palm? Or… Apple shows how something can be fundamentally better which causes a rapid shift in the market. If you don't expect data centers to push even more heavily toward fast and efficient ARM-based systems and for MS to continue to build out Windows for ARM-based system with more cross-compatibility then I have a bright to sell you.Catfish29 said:williamlondon said:Too little too late.
