There are a large number of PC component manufacturers, but if we talk about processors, there are two main companies that practically completely dominate the consumer computer market, although one of them also managed to have the largest share of the server CPU market. . Currently, both are quite equal in some aspects, while there are others in which one easily surpasses the other, as is the case of processors for games, since the X3D of amd They have a considerable performance improvement compared to the Intel Core, but Intel has no plans to increase the cache of their chips.
Intel and AMD have always competed in the same market, both companies have developed processors for both desktop computers and servers, and although for several years the company that developed Core has dominated both, it has less and less share in the two segments, something that could make them change the plans they have. But in this case they are quite clear that they do not want to compete against the X3D, so we will not see desktop processors created by the blue company with a cache greater than or similar to that offered by the Ryzen with 3D V-Cache.
Intel is clear about the reason why it will not compete (for now) against AMD’s X3D
Since they indicate that they know the market quite well, one of the main reasons why they do not want to try to compete against AMD in the segment of processors with 3D V-Cache technology is the fact that they believe that they are aimed at too much of an audience. specific. The company ensures that its processors have a really large number of uses, indicating that while the processors X3D They manage to stand out in the video game market due to the increase in performance they offer, they do not show power similar to that of the Intel Core in other aspects.
«AMD CPUs are designed for a very specific audience: gamers. We are aware that this technology can offer a lot to players, but it also comes with trade-offs and certain disadvantages or compromises that must be accepted. In this case, nothing happens if I have a CPU X3Dwhich may not be as powerful in applications. That is intentional and, technologically, we still have it under control.
This does not imply that the brand plans to completely leave aside the fact of increasing the cache of its processors, since it is a technological improvement that sooner or later they will have to begin to implement in all their products, but they want to focus it on the segment related to the servers. In this case, the company wants to give priority to offering this increase in cache to the Xeon models, since they indicate that the server market has a higher potential scope than that of CPUs aimed at desktop computers, without leaving aside processors that are not designed for gaming.
«Next year, there will be a CPU that has a cache tile, but not for desktop computers. The server market is different with a broader potential scope than with desktop CPUs. (…) But for us it is not the great mass market. “We still sell a large number of CPUs that are not necessarily used for gaming.”
