Well it's not. Here is a further breakdown on availability (Cars.com).
indeed I am still waiting for a msrp 3080RTX its been a year now since they launched and the only way to get one is pay scalper prices or hang out at the local to you microcenter for days until the few they get dribble in. this is bs.I'm assuming Intel plant? May as well be cranking out vacuum tubes
Putting the shortage in perspective, Apple will sell more phones in a month than the entire auto industry combined sells cars in year. Who do you think draws more water with TSMC? Speaking of water, Taiwan is still experiencing a record drought.
This is not going to just go away in a couple months.
Not even close. Ford stands to lose billions this year due to lost sales. Better adjust your tinfoil hat.
Your cousin Vinny found you one that fell off the loading dock at the Wharf, did he?Microcenter you say...
I wouldn't say Intel is out of the game completely, they've shown a good track record of getting more out of a node process than their competitors. The new Rocket Lake is pretty impressive for still being on a 14nm process. The new 10nm products will be even better, even if they're far away from GlobalFoundries in a technical sense. We're also reaching the end stage of silicon fabrication as we know it, the closer you get to the next unit down, the more difficult it becomes to get the process to work at all, let alone with good yields. I'm sure they'll figure it out, but for now that extreme difficulty curve will allow Intel to stay in the game.
like a Nehalem CPU architecture with it's VERY long pipelines (that bit Intel in the ass) chip-making have very long pipelines. The doping machines were already running at full rate. The lithography machines were running at full rate. Same for the wire-bonders, so were the testers. The hardest machine to scale is the doping and lithography. But even the 'easy' wire-bonding and testing equipment have multi-month lead times to produce new machines. Just because you order 100 new machines doesn't mean they are sitting around in a warehouse under a tarp ready to load them on a skid.
No, the sky is not falling, but the days of finding exactly what you want on a lot and getting a healthy discount on that car are over for the time being.
People get carried away with the manufacturing process. What does it say when Intel's processors on a 14nm process still beat out AMDs new Ryzen processors on a much newer 7nm process? What I'm referring to is computer benchmarks. Yes, the new Ryzen processors might be more energy efficient, but Intel's 11th gen seem to have more raw power. Good for desktops, bad for laptops and 2-in-1s. Intel's been on the 14nm process so long, I think they have completely wrung out everything you can get out of it.
And there lies the problem. Results without bias. And testing two similar setups. What websites do you get your benchmark results from?
Koons Ford (where I got my last 2 Mustangs from) have over 100 Mustangs in stock.
computer benchmarks are "lies" from top to bottom. The datacenter/cloud is what matters. Consumers don't matter.
A CPU from 10 years ago is 200% more CPU than any user needs. And anyway all you people are going to be moved to ARM anyway and won't even notice.
it already happened. and anyway your 'local' computer will be nothing more than a display. We'll be back to the glory days of X11.
Well considering Alder Lake is close to an ARM setup, yes... I'd say everybody will be going to an ARM style setup for their processors.computer benchmarks are "lies" from top to bottom. The datacenter/cloud is what matters. Consumers don't matter.
PS. yes I'm a server guy. Don't give 2 sh*ts about gaming.
But back to the CPU on wheels we call a Mustang...
wouldn't it be nice if Intel built a factory in the US, maybe even Europe to supply chips? It seems like Asian chip manufacturers have our balls in a vise.
