Unfortunate name.
I hope Nvidia adds backside power delivery to their new CuLitho chips, just so we can get as many jokes as possible out of this fab cycle.

Where does Intel currently stand in the race with AMD? AMD has been doing extremely well while Intel hasn’t been able to regroup.
It looks like Intel still has a solid lead in single core perf, which is frankly the biggest factor for me for a general purpose desktop CPU. Of course, other uses have other priorities. The charts are missing one important measure, power efficiency.

One of the wild things to me is how incredibly elaborate chipmaking as become over the years. Per Wikipedia, the 6502's layout was made with "a very manual process done with color pencils and vellum paper". That's the processor that launched the personal computing revolution, powering the Apple II, Commodore PET and VIC-20, the Acorn, and the BBC Micro. Nearly 50 years later, things have gotten so fiendishly complex that "flip it over and put some stuff on the back" is a major industry change requiring who knows how many billions in R&D.

Hopefully this will be the kick in the backside that Intel needs to start leading again.
What does "start leading" even mean? Every CPU launch, AMD is ahead and the Intel beats them or Intel is ahead and then AMD beats them. There is no leading here. There are only wins for people who want CPUs that keep getting faster, cooler, require fewer watts to run, and overall improve generation upon generation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
They really are not making amazing GPUs. The ones on the market are only decent value because Intel is selling them far below what it cost to make them, because there's no way they could sell them at proper prices. Even still, they have ceased production, and the product is still on the shelves.
Honestly being anywhere on the competitive spectrum is pretty impressive. GPUs aren’t just some commodity product. They’ve required decades of iteration to lead to the flagship products we have today. To achieve at least a fraction of that is an achievement of itself. But yeah I am going to hold on to my NVDA for now.
