I didn't see any benchmarks if the new Xe iGPU. Wonder how good they are... 2x over previous generation wouldn't surprise me.

https://contentauthenticity.org/our-members Basically a large group of companies are forming a group to create an agreed upon fingerprinting system for 'content' (read: everything) to destroy privacy in the name of 'fighting disinformation'.
Isn't such a thing necessary as we see US presidents falling for (deep)fake media? Is there a privacy-respecting solution that you prefer?
I'm just going to say, if you don't think this _isn't_ going to be massively abused - take a look at what the CCP, or any authoritarian regime does really, to silence dissent.
Don't have a good enough social credit because you shared an opinion somebody doesn't like one too many times? Intel and Microsoft will just remotely brick all your devices.
> Is there a privacy-respecting solution that you prefer?
Yeah, it's called being media literate, using my brain and being vigilant. I don't need Pat Gelsinger, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Shantanu Narayen, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey or any other power hungry jackass telling me what to think.

No, this thing is not necessary. That's an excuse for giving up privacy to a group of unaccountable corporations who exist to make money and are often abusive of their positions.
I don't have an answer per se, but if your answer is some sort of content blockchain so everything is traceable, then it doesn't matter that I don't have the answer. That's so repulsive as to not require an alternate solution. It's like giving yourself a lobotomy because you have a headache. It's the wrong answer full stop.

#54No ECC support means it's totally useless for workstation workloads.
This wasn't ever going in workstations anyway. The part you want for that is Ice Lake.

#55Strangely it seems like the 35-45W Tiger Lake parts holds their own here. It doesn't feel like Rocket Lake needs to exist, if Tiger Lake-H exists.

#56Anyone have any idea when intel's 10nm will hit desktop? Are they making any progress at all? Are they just planning on skipping straight to 7 at this point?
In 6 months for the past 5 years..
Realistically now probably mid 2022 we’ll see something, but probably not a full lineup until 2023.

Alder Lake-S is rumored for December 2021. The delays have cascaded so 7nm is still pretty far away.

Good thing nobody actually uses AVX512
AVX-512 software is appearing. For example, for neural net inference: https://NN-512.com AVX-512 is a pleasure from the programmer's perspective, much nicer than writing software for GPUs or for earlier SIMD instruction sets like AVX2/SSE Versus a GPU, the AVX-512 machine model is just much simpler, and there are no drivers or proprietary compilers Versus earlier SIMD instruction sets, AVX-512 provides all the instru…
Isn’t the issue with AVX-512 is that different CPUs support different instructions? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512
It might eventually get normalized but atm it’s a bit of a mess.

Presumably Xeon E-23xx is coming but you'll still be better off with Ryzen Pro 5xxx.
