There has been some immature name calling in the tech industry over the years, but in the past few years Intel was very quiet about competitors, as there really weren't many... or none at all... Now Intel came out with some quite questionable slides:
In this slide Intel tries to point out that all new generation AMD processors are based on the same Zen architecture, in the form of 4-core and 8-core dies... and they are somehow inferior, as they are glued together to form 8-core, 16-core and 32-core processors.
Well, all these allegations are mostly/partially true, but Intel forgot to mention that these AMD products are in fact not far behind in performance and efficiency - in some sectors are ahead of Intel ... and the price ... AMD prices are at about half of Intels's'.
Some tech journalists (including myself) argue that AMD's new "glued together" chip design is the future, as it enables manufacturers to throw out less partially defective dies. Rumors are circulating about a 99% yield on AMD's new chips, so I can see how that's a bit worrisome for Intel.
This so-called "gluing together" is called the Infinity Fabric, which allows all cores to communicate with each other ... improving multi-threaded performance... and Intel's processors can't do that (yet).
Long story short, shame on Intel for such immoral propaganda. It's not like they don't have the money to spend on R&D and come out with far better products.
