Intel has finally caught up with the next generation PCI-E and now supports DD5, along with 7nm technology. Previously, Atom processors were meant for low-power devices like tablets, relying on their efficiency rather than raw performance. The mention of a 2.6GHz clock speed suggests they’re more than adequate for certain multithreaded tasks, though not ideal for high-end mobile use. It’s unlikely someone would prioritize this in their smartphones.
the main idea that comes to mind is intel attempting to mimic AMD, aiming for a massive number of cores but with each one being relatively weak. I don't think it would work well unless intel finds a clever way to combine the cores and show them to the OS as one unit. In that case, the CPU might distribute threads among the cores as they become busy. I still believe there are major technical challenges, but if power efficiency drops sharply with higher frequencies, very few high-performance cores could be quite efficient.
My setup is Intel, but does that indicate I favor anti-consumer tactics? Would I accept that my 7th generation works just like a 4th generation? Guess it depends.
