Intel and AMD are again on the bar. Who is better at the "core battle" this time?

[Intel and AMD are on the bar again, "Where is the core battle"? Since AMD released the Ryzen processor series in 2017, Intel and AMD have always seemed to be in a "core war." Obviously, they are trying to exceed each other in terms of core computing and final performance.

At the Computex in China, we also saw the same thing. Intel released the latest 28-core CPU, and AMD announced the 32-core CPU the next day.

In fact, as far back as the International Computer Show, we saw Intel's use of an eighth-generation CPU to meet the challenge of AMD's new Ryzen CPU, which has more cores than any "i" series. Intel's 8th generation CPU is the biggest performance leap we have seen for years.

To be precise, the number of cores does not translate directly into CPU performance. Increasing the amount of love certainly helps, but it is mainly related to the manufacturing process and the size of the CPU chip. However, if this sounds like an old-fashioned competition, it is because it does.

It is worth noting that this competition is only the latest one between Intel and AMD. According to benchmarking software company Passmark, Intel has consistently dominated the CPU market since 2005, accounting for 82.5% of the market's peak during the third quarter of 2016. Just look at your laptops and desktops, including Macs, and they all use Intel's CPUs.

The reason why Intel dominates is simple. The company offers a better CPU and can do almost anything on the computer, at least for those who are willing to pay a premium for Intel products, and they don't like budget AMD options.

However, it may be that Intel is overconfident with its dominant position. It is generally believed that its innovation and progress are stagnating. Year after year, Intel releases fewer and fewer CPU performance and technology. Whatever the reason, whether it is complacency or the limitations of technological advances, Intel's annual CPU release is only slightly better. It gives the impression that as long as its processor is better than AMD, Intel does not have much reason to innovate.

AMD's YzenCPU

However, AMD's Yzen CPU and Threadripper CPU have greatly reduced the performance gap with the Intel CPU. As typical of AMD CPUs, they usually have more cores than Intel CPUs, but they may also compete in performance with Intel CPUs, which AMD has not been able to effectively do since 2005.

The market is noticing whether it is those enthusiasts who build systems themselves or computer manufacturers. When Ryzen was launched, AMD’s market share increased slightly. This is the biggest rebound seen by Passmark since 2005.

In an interview with Wired magazine, Shane Rau, chief semiconductor researcher at IDC, a market research organization, said: “We are back to the familiar state of competition. These companies produce better and faster products. The cost is more competitive, and I think this bodes well for the PC."

Indeed, this rekindled the competition between the two major CPU manufacturers, which may eventually lead to the birth of faster and cheaper computers, and ultimately to new innovations that would not be possible without competition.
