AMD 7 nanometre is just around the corner and we are going to be reporting on it at sea yes though what should we expect as tech hungry consumers well today we discuss the good the bad and what comes after the long-awaited 7 nanometers you welcome back to the yes of tech city we'll start with what to look forward to and risin to that 3000 series you'll hear Silicon manufacturers talking about the magical efficiency what does this mean for us enthusiasts well mostly it means lower operating voltages and all the traits associated with lower voltage the most obvious being law of power consumption which will save you both power and subsequently energy that doesn't need to be wasted in heat TSMC the manufacturing office supplying qualcomm nvidia and AMD has stated that they expect seven animated to yield a 40 percent drop in power usage compared to their own ten nanometer design another advantage to smaller seven animated transistors is being able to fit more of them in a package of the same size all simply condense the chip this will allow more space for batteries and mobile applications or more processing power in the same size outfit for desktop power users for example so speed lower voltage and a smaller footprint what's not to like about this well on the consumption side everything is straightforward and seems good however when it comes to the manufacturing side there are far more repercussions involved in the process itself firstly before the product even goes to market there is a huge amount of research and development involved in the design of the wafer according to Gartner research group the design of the wafer itself nothing else associated with a7 enemy2 SOC design costs approximately 271 million dollars and easily enough it is these same outlays that will eventually end on the receipt of the consumer indirectly which is why I'm somewhat skeptical of the room at $499 u.s. price tag of AMD's upcoming rise in 3000 series flagship I mean 16 cores and 32 threads of all but nothing but improvements it does seem a little too good to be true though I think what AMD is trying to achieve is market their CP users unbeatable value and covering their R&D costs with bulk volume of sales after all they have an average margin rate of 39 sent and it is growing which is good to hear though competitors like Intel and NVIDIA for example have over 60 and 59% respectively however the buck doesn't just stop there with AMD they also have in the works seven nanometer Navi GPUs so it's looking like they will be extracting the absolute maximum value out of that seven nanometer TSMC node though what about the competitor Intel well they are currently on 40 nanometer with their own in-house fabrication meaning they make the wafers themselves this has been quite a brick road for them and does point out some of the policies involved in chasing to higher clock speed for instance their 9900 K and previous 8700 K chips had no problems achieving 5 gigahertz clock speeds however years before that a 6700 K chip which is based on the same 14 nanometer node which struggle to reach 4.6 or even 4.7 gigahertz these improvements in turn can be thanked for what is known as mature raishin of the process itself that is it becomes refined over time however it can be a dangerous stepping stone if the said company does not find out ways to deliver performance increases whether it be through architectural improvements or from a shrink in transistor size itself though as you may have already read Intel has faced some massive delays in 2018 in that their yields and I use that plural II that is the chips that meet the effective quota for being usable in products and all the effective clock speeds obtainable have been poor and essentially caused massive delays moving forward though this is not the first time we have seen this from Intel if you remember the Broadwell 14 nanometer eye 750 775 for example or you may not have remembered it since it didn't last long in the shelves at all and quite frankly it just got silently harsh to market had very little gains in terms of IPC and architectural improvements over its predecessor has well Broadwell had much lower clock speeds which made it effectively that is if it were to be pushed as the next big thing been a slower product than the i7 4770k for example this is generally not how tech companies wanted business enhance after that Intel began on skylake which at the core is essentially the same thing as two thousand 18s coffee lake so what's next I don't mean Zen 2 + X s Pro Ultimate Edition I mean what comes after TSMC 7 nanometer and Intel's 10 nanometer the next plan lithography is 5 nanometer from TSMC but some chip manufacturers are attempting for 6 and even 3 nanometer however there is a point where the laws of physics start to fail around the pure micro scale of architecture think I'm joking well unfortunately I'm not there's a phenomena with FinFET smaller than 7 nanometer called quantum tunneling where particles pass through barriers due to them being too miniscule to contain it also known on a larger scale as static leakage but when on the smaller scale it can be the difference between a correct calculation and a bsod so how can this be overcome to continue lithography progression well samsung has been working on a technique for their upcoming 7 nanometer processes called EUV or extreme ultraviolet lithography TSMC and GlobalFoundries won't be switching to e UV until the second generation 7 nanometer processes however this ultraviolet technique is apparently the only possibility of progressing past 6 nanometer and into the realm of beyond quite scary when you think of it because AMD's next 7 nanometer Rison chips might just be the holy grail for a long time to come after that there is a possibility of problems especially on high-performance desktop parts where arguably manufacturers would face the most problems so years ago some experts predicted that 5 nanometer would be the end of Moore's law and as we approach this barrier it seems those experts acquired those titles rightfully so however lastly there is hope for us all as tech enthusiasts and that is IBM's graphene technology which is making progress and if it does eventually hit the market then it promises to be revolutionary in the processing power it contains anyway guys let me know in the comment section below what you think of 7 nanometer 5 nanometer and the future going forward with desktop enthusiast parts reading your thoughts and opinions as always
