I guess short-term profit hedge funds really do influence these large companies... Isn't Intel delaying 7nm until 2022 (but given they said this in 2020, it's likely going to be 2023-24)? TSMC is already manufacturing 5nm and is currently working on 3nm. I would say TSMC is ahead by at least 4 years.

Samsung is doing the nanoribbon with their MBCFETs, but this stacked CMOS technology is quite interesting. Heat dissipation is still probably going to be a challenge when designing these though. I can't wait to see which emerging technology is going to be the future: quantum computing, graphene transistors, carbon-nanotubes, or this. At least the consumer will always benefit

I agree with what you're saying, but the semiconductor market is far different from more traditional businesses. The machines needed to make sub-7nm fabs cost hundreds of millions (i'm looking at you, EUV lithography) and the market is extremely undersaturated.

Sorry! I mixed it up with Ice Lake for their mobile lineup. So confusing

To be honest, I don't see Intel falling further. Rocket Lake is supposed to be on par with Zen 3, if not a little less in temps and multithreaded applications, using 10 nm rather than 7nm for Zen 3. Also, comparing nanometer sizes across multiple companies isn't very smart. IIRC, TSMC's 7nm is roughly the same desnity as Intel's 10 nm (link)

Samsung and TSMC are already working on 3 nanometer fabs while Intel is trying to solve their 7nm problems. Intel might be better off doing an AMD and design rather than fabricate. After all, a significant portion of their revenue stream comes from datacenter orientated products such as memory (optane/nand flash ) and networking. However, I'm far from an expert so take my work with a grain of salt.

Hopefully Noctua's SecuFirm mounting system and modern motherboards can cope with the heft of this cooler. It's 3.3 pounds (1.5 kgs), 0.44 pounds (0.2 kg) heavier than the already massive NH-D15.

The problem is that making 5nm and below nodes requires EUV lithography, along with a host of other highly specialized technology/machines which requires a special machine from ASML (costing over $130 a million a piece).This super high price tag and along with other things is why only two companies in the world can make these fabs: TSMC and Samsung (and as said in a previous comment, Samsung's 5nm fabs aren't as good as TSMC). GlobalFoundaries stopped at 7nm because making 5nm and below is too expensive.

There was a Techquicke about how 2.5 gbps would make your internet faster about two days ago: And, awesome is not spelled "awersome".

Are you going to stick with the stock cooler? You can get a decent one for around $30. Also, for the monitor, "If you want to use the 155hz refresh rate or G-Sync, you will need to purchase a DisplayPort 1.2 or better cable yourself." FYI. Also, you can get 3600 MHz ram for the same price (but no RGB): https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jBZzK8/gskill-ripjaws-v-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-16gvkc

Thanks for your reply! I did open Limit Reasons when running prime95 again, and sure enough there is something glowing red! I read some other threads on this forum, and is it right that the PL1 and PL2 limits cannot be changed? I'm just wondering if I get it to stop throttling.

I'm charging it right now, and at idle it's running at 3.4 GHz. But it changes immediately after I start running prime95. I don't think its power throttling because its using 22-23 watts during prime95.

I haven't thought about that, could be why. Is there a specific program(throttlestop??) or do I go into the BIOS to change the offset?

Decided to undervolt an i5-8250u (Dell XPS 9370) using Throttlestop. I undervolted it 100mv, and then I ran prime 95. Before I ran prime 95, the cpu was running at 3.4 GHz (max turbo) but immediately after I started running prime 95, it went down to about 2.4 GHz. I don't think its because of the temperature, because the CPU package temperature is around 70 C. And, fan speed is medium (I've heard it go way louder). Any reason why this may be happening? Anything related with Speed Shift (Dell did disable speed shift on previous XPS laptops) or does Dell just want to be really, really safe?

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but why would I test if my password is tough to crack by giving it to another website (Password Strength Checker) ? Even if the website is secure, the website knows that this user's password is likely the one they inputted.
