Its like we've gone back to 2003, Intel pushing clocks way to high to make up for IPC deficiencies, this is exacerbated by the never ending 14nm node.
AMD is very well poised to take huge marketshare in a very quick time, higher IPC, half the power and cheaper. A rare Win/Win/Win scenario. Mindshare is the big hurdle now, AMD needs to get the word out that they have the performance crown now. Intel will have an answer eventually, make hay while the sun shines!
I remember when cTDP skus were initially released and was anxiously awaiting a near paradigm-shifting change. Finally, we could have laptops that had great battery life but, when plugged in, and, perhaps, attached to a cooling dock, something that could approach desktop-level perf. For some reason this hasn't really happened... That's the kind of device where 50A cores make sense. Include a igpu and optional dgpu (though it would likely need to be external, and, with a dock, that wouldn't be something the user need care about) and you've got a really versatile set-up. Seeing laptops plugged in at desks always makes me a bit wistful that this never happened.

If this Mhz gimmick is at the expense of power & heat, why bother with AVX512 which is more of the same?eva02langley - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
ROFL @ 8:30"AMD brought a baseball bat to the fight.... while Intel brought a WET REUSED NOODLE..."

Ian, you should rename the part "Intel Presentation" to "Intel Deception"...s.yu - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
Really this record shattering deception needs more publicity:https://www.anandtech.com/show/13285/huawei-gpu-tu...

Does this mean that water cooled gaming laptops are going to be a 'thing'?s.yu - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link

Intel squeaks and www.IntelTech.com rushes out 2 pages of waffle in a vain attempt to try to make Intel look and sound relevant...No mention of the fact that the current AMD parts are cheaper, faster, more power efficient, unlocked and better in pretty much every way. LOL
