AMD is giving finishing touches to its 3rd generation Ryzen socket AM4 processor family which is slated for a Computex 2019 unveiling, followed by a possible E3 market availability. Based on the “Matisse” multi-chip module that combines up to two 8-core “Zen 2” chiplets with a 14 nm I/O controller die, these processors see a 50-100 percent increase in core-counts over the current generation. The Ryzen 5 series now includes 8-core/16-thread parts, the Ryzen 7 series chips are 12-core/24-thread, while the newly created Ryzen 9 series (designed to rival Intel Core i9 LGA115x), will include 16-core/32-thread chips.

Here’s the catch: much like “Ice Lake,” the new “Tiger Lake” chip will get a mobile debut as Tiger Lake-Y or Tiger Lake-U, and desktop processors could follow later, possibly even 2021, depending on how much pressure it faces from AMD.

When it goes live and fit for mass production some time in 2021, Intel’s 7 nm process will be a staggering 3 years behind TSMC, which fired up its 7 nm node in 2018. AMD is already mass-producing CPUs and GPUs on this node. Unlike TSMC, Intel will implement EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography straightaway. TSMC began 7 nm with DUV (deep ultraviolet) in 2018, and its EUV node went live in March. Samsung’s 7 nm EUV node went up last October. Intel’s roadmap doesn’t show a leap from its current 10 nm node to 7 nm EUV, though.

Besides this you will need a GTX970+ or an AMD RX480+ graphics with a dual core processor intact with 8GB of RAM desktop PC to run. So safe to say, it’s an expensive affair, but as soon as the Index hits the market, reviews will churn out. It’s probably then, we can gauge if the prices are worth the tech.

Hardware is another big factor with Google slated to use AMD GPU-powered servers via a custom AMD Vega 56 unit on steroids with 16GB HBM2 memory. Nvidia, on the other hand, powers 15 of its own data centres across Europe and the United States, with most of these servers tipped to run on powerful data centre-grade RTX graphics. The servers are also likely to get all the benefits that come with Nvidia’s latest Turing architecture.

This is grim news for most chip-makers as a whole, but it’s especially ominous for graphics card vendors NVIDIA and AMD as losing the Chinese market will result in the loss of a major market. For reference, the revenue from PRC was $15 billion in 2018 and is expected to jump to $16 billion by 2023. Furthermore, there were 312.4 million PC online gamers in China last year and that figure is speculated to swell up to 354 million in 2023. (More than the population of the entire United States). That should give a clear picture of how much revenue is at stake.
