00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,319
a while back we did an episode focusing on why Intel was suddenly struggling in

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,200
its fight against AMD when team blue had long been dominant but as AMD continues

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,200
to cut into Intel's market share you can bet that Intel has a plan to strike back

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,439
so let's have a look at what we could expect in the near future one major AMD

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,840
innovation that has helped keep costs down is its use of chiplets smaller dies

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,160
that can be put together in a modular fashion to form a whole processor Intel

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,160
continued to stick with more traditional monolithic designs for quite a while

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,880
but remember that the electronics industry is full of copycats and even a

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,640
company as big as Intel is no different Intel has already

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,559
announced that it too will be focusing on using a more modular design similar

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:49,360
to chiplets moving forward which should enable them to lower prices generally

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,920
but obviously Intel can't just say see we're doing the same thing as AMD

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,920
and expect people to go for it i mean it wasn't exactly a surprise when burger

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,640
king's big mac knockoff didn't shatter sales records so Intel is trying to hang

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,000
its hat on some of its own innovations you see there's a trend in the

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,880
semiconductor industry towards fabulous chip design that is companies like AMD

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,600
and NVIDIA design processors but then send them off to a third-party fab like

18
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:19,119
tsmc to actually have the things made the idea here is that outsourcing the

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,439
actual manufacturing is cheaper than running your own fab it also reduces

20
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,040
delays in manufacturing problems because outside fabs tend to be very good at

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,000
manufacturing many different types of chips efficiently

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,600
and even though Intel is reportedly using tsmc for its upcoming desktop

23
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,240
graphics chips at least for the time being

24
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:43,600
team blue has long operated its own fabs and shows no signs of changing course

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,799
despite past rumors although Intel's had many well-documented issues trying to

26
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,960
get his 10 nanometer process off the ground it's still banking on its own

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,759
fabs and their new 10 nanometer superfin process to improve performance basically

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,840
it's a variation on finfet which was explained in this video that allows for

29
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:03,200
more electrical current and less resistance which should ultimately make

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,719
for faster chips Intel claims that this is the biggest

31
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:10,879
performance sleep they've ever had that doesn't involve actually going to a

32
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,120
smaller manufacturing process in fact they're so confident in their own fabs

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,760
that they're actually expanding their capacity and opening what they call

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,120
Intel foundry services which will operate as a contract

35
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,160
manufacturer for other companies similar to tsmc

36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,680
team blue is already targeting electronics industry giants like

37
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,599
qualcomm and apple to be potential future customers for foundry services

38
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,280
which would open up a whole new way to bring in that sweet paper without

39
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,519
focusing only on going head-to-head with AMD but of course they still

40
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,599
are going directly up against team red not

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,080
only with their chiplets but with the elephant in the room we haven't

42
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,640
discussed their new z hpg graphics

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:57,280
platform Intel's first significant foray into discrete graphics cards in

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,720
i think literal decades its first product looks like it'll be a

45
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:07,599
mid tier card that could go up against an rx 6700 xt or NVIDIA's rtx 3060 so it

46
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,720
could end up being yet another way Intel will try to compete on price

47
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,040
and with the current GPU shortage worldwide there's a possibility that the

48
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,480
super high demand for existing gpus could push gamers to try out Intel's

49
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,920
offering provided they find a way to make enough supply available and

50
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,400
speaking of graphics Intel has already publicly said laptop gaming is going to

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,840
be a huge focus with the goal being for lower power z variants to deliver

52
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,000
playable frame rates and big name titles even on thin and light notebooks of

53
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,000
course it remains to be seen how these moves will work out for Intel but you

54
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,000
can bet they aren't taking AMD's challenge lightly you could say they're

55
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,920
even rising to it

56
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:49,360
and our sponsor drop is also rising to it the karina is a space efficient and

57
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:53,120
portable diy keyboard kit with a frosty acrylic case that allows light to shine

58
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,439
throughout the whole keyboard it offers fully programmable RGB leds both above

59
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:02,000
and below and it's available with your choice of three add-on plates aluminum

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,200
brass and copper the pcb allows for hot swappable switches so you can plug in
