Intel reveals the truth about AMD: they use outdated architecture in Ryzen 7000 series processors
In its presentation, which was published on Intel’s official website and later removed, the company accused AMD of “selling half-truths to unsuspecting consumers.”
This was reported by The Verge.
According to Intel, AMD is using the outdated Zen 2 architecture in some of its Ryzen 7000 series mobile processors, which have a name that hints at novelty and modernity.
For example, the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor, which has the first digit “7”, is actually based on the Zen 2 architecture, which was released in 2019, and not the current Zen 4, which is expected in 2024.
Intel claims that its 11th generation Intel Core processors, which use the Tiger Lake architecture, outperform the AMD Ryzen 7000 in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and security.
Intel’s presentation avoided discussing its own history of confusing naming conventions for processors and architectures. In 2021, the released Core i9-11900K reduced the number of cores from 10 (as in 10900K) to eight. This move looks confusing, especially after Intel used the naming schemes 14nm, 14nm+, and 14nm++ for many years, which was actually just a rebranding of the 14nm process. Eventually, in 2021, Intel abandoned the use of technology node names, deciding to call its third-generation 10nm chips Intel 7 in order to sound more competitive with AMD products based on TSMC’s 7nm process.
