No, i am not ignorant, i am just not a fanboi whose only knowledge about chip design comes from pop-tech sites.
1) Ghz are not about the nodes alone, they are as i said about the design principles. If the chip is very complicated it can never achieve 100% load at those clocks. Those ghz you mentioned are best case scenarios.
2) I want to see a link about that benchmark, to see the conditions of the test. Rise of the Tomb Raider is a very lightweight game that can be maxed on low end cpus/gpus. You need more games to reach a stronger conclusion. Especially in a video game which is mostly gpu bound
3) The GTX 1650 is a 12nm design, the Apple M1 is a 5nm design. That is a huge difference. You call me ignorant but i am the only one who is talking objective facts here, you are just an ignorant fanboy, and don't you dare call me ignorant again.
Ice Storm 10 watts pick load.

Originally posted by jabl View PostNow, Intel largely controls the PCI SIG which develops the PCI standard, and they're in no hurry to develop it in a direction which would help GPGPU.
Now that Intel is building datacenter GPUs & AI accelerators, they're highly-motivated to solve those problems.

And guess who makes most appliances and personal electronics? China. If China goes big on RISC V, then they can single-handedly turn the tide against ARM.

Originally posted by coder View PostI think that's not what they meant. I imagine they had in mind that one OS kernel should be managing hybrid ISA CPU cores, which share a global pool of RAM. This would be an interesting project, but I'm not sure we really have anything like it, today.
I think that's part of what we will see with Nvidia's Grace SoC. Each Grace core could have an NVLink from SiP RAM to each of Grace's CPU's ancillary cores (DSP, NPU, DPU, etc,) straight to any and all Nvidia's integrated or discreet and external GPUs.
In this respect, we are approaching a time where HP's "The Machine" concept will be the prevailing design paradigm.

Originally posted by zxy_thf View PostActually this advantage is also not that clear, if we take (potential) vendor locked-in into consideration.
We may switch Xeon with Epyc and enjoy improved performance/dollar, but when we switched one ARM from another one, there is no guarantee that they share the shame extensions and have similar performance behavior.
RISC-V is the worst, though. Basically, a RISC-V CPU can add whatever the heck it wants!

Originally posted by TemplarGR View PostClock for clock performance is not telling the full story. And not running them higher may not be just about efficiency, but also simple stability. you can get great IPC in a processor but be unable to clock it high because of the design.
In general, the argument for lower clock speeds is energy-efficiency, which is why mobile and server cores tend to clock lower than desktop CPUs. However, the designers can also take advantage of that to imbue them with more IPC, depending on the silicon & power budget.
ARM has one inherent benefit over x86, in that you can scale up its front-end wider, due to its fixed-length instruction encoding. So, if one is willing to devote the silicon necessary, it's not surprising to see ARM cores that exceed x86 in IPC. And this is independent of clock speed, in which case it should even be possible to build an ARM core that clocks comparable to x86 and offers more IPC. There's just not as much incentive for it, given that ARM can beat x86 in single-thread performance with higher IPC at lower clock speeds.

If you all want to learn more about ARM v9 and ARM's "Total Compute Vision" this should be a good start. Lots of video chats with ARM partners including a "fireside" chat with Microsoft exec.
