AMD and Intel stage stiffer confrontation in 2020

As the leading companies in the PC industry, the two major upstream manufacturers have been going head-to-head since the beginning of the new year. It is reported that AMD, the standard mobile Ryzen 7 4800H and Ryzen 9 4900H processors were exposed. The two AMD processor products are 8-core 16-thread design, which is comparable to the Intel Core i9 9800H processor. The other two are based on Zen 2 architecture of 7nm process technology.

In terms of graphics, the Ryzen 4000 series should still be Vega architecture, but not the latest NaviRDNA architecture. According to the previously exposed news, the Ryzen 4000 series APU product plan is quite rich, covering 15 ~ 35W low voltage, 45W standard voltage, 65W standard desktop and desktop energy-saving version. It is reported that it will be unveiled in March 2020, and wait and see.

Of course, Intel will not slacken in this way. The 10th generation of Core Standard Edition is likely to be released in April. At the same time, a large number of OEM manufacturers will update new products in May, and a new wave of machine replacement will be ushered in. The core number of Intel’s 10th generation Core Edition processor has further increased the number of multi-threaded tasks, and the performance of the game has been improved by the increase in clock speed. In addition, the 10th generation of Core Standard mobile processors may have both 10nm and 14nm processes. The former comes with Iris Plus sharp torch display and better graphics performance; the latter has mature process technology and can be used for higher clock speeds and cores. At the same time, it can control TDP and bring excellent performance experience.

In the first half of 2020, if OEM manufacturers launch more Ryzen notebooks, Intel’s market share may be more strongly affected, because if the 4000 series APU performance is as expected, coupled with OEM support, the competition between the two is more intense.

It is difficult to see the combination of Intel and AMD. In the future, NUC will adopt the unique display

I don’t know if you remember the Kaby Lake-G series of chips. The chip is the first to package Intel’s processor and AMD’s graphics card, starting with Intel’s Hades Canyon NUC. This product was quite amazing before it was launched. In particular, AMD’s “nuclear display” performance has reached the level of GTX1060, which is very powerful. And this is also a product of “integration” between Intel and AMD, which is very significant. However, in the future, NUC seems to give up this practice.

According to leaked news, the future NUC will use Intel’s nine-generation Core + NVIDIA Turing graphics card, and the heat will be re-customized. In the future, the NUC name for gamers will be Phanton Canyon, which will be powered by the 28W version of the Tiger Laket-U processor, and will also choose GTX1660Ti or RTX2060 alone.

Phanton Canyon will be launched between 2020 and 2021. Before the product appeared, Intel will still launch a NUC, named Ghost Canyon, which will use i9-9980HK, and is not independent. Graphics card.

Friends who are interested in mini-hosts may be impressed with NUC, especially when Hades Canyon is released, its small size has very good performance, and the masses of people who are eating melons are finally lucky enough to witness the combination of intel and AMD. This situation is hard to see again in the future.
