    Has this quarter been the hottest quarter in the history of computer tech?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2020 01:26 PM PST

    For PCs, we saw the release of:

    • AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs which saw AMD taking the single-threaded performance crown from Intel.

    • Nvidia 3000 series GPUs which offered a 70% increase in performance compared to the previous generation, a very large leap in performance in modern standards.

    • AMD RX 6000 GPUs which put AMD back into the equation in high-end GPUs, after a long absence.

    On the consoles front we saw the release of:

    • Xbox series X and S which finally brought 4k60fps and raytracing to the console market.

    • PS5 with an SSD rivaling the top-end ones found in PCs.

    • Oculus Quest 2, a standalone VR headset aimed at the mainstream market.

    On the Server front, we saw the release of:

    • AMD's Instinct MI100 architecture crossing the 10 TFLOPS FP64.

    • Nvidia GA100 with 80GB of RAM, the first datacenter GPU with that much RAM.

    For ARM:

    • We saw Apple taking a significant leap in shifting from an Intel-based ecosystem into an ARM-based one with the release of the Apple Silicon M1.

    • The first TSMC 5nm-based chips with the Kirin 9000, Apple A14 & M1, (and perhaps Snapdragon 875?) chips.

    I hope I didn't miss anything.

    ... I don't seem to recall any single quarter having contained as many hot releases as this one. Perhaps due to global restrictions, all releases had to be pushed back to the last second just before the holidays.

    How to tell if you "won" the silicon lottery? Comparing two 5600X

    Posted: 30 Nov 2020 04:16 PM PST

    I would like to understand what a CPU with a better silicon would achieve.

    I've always thought that a good silicon would achieve the same clocks as other CPU but at a lower voltage, making it more efficient.

    However, after testing two chips for just curiosity sakes, I found that one CPU pulled a higher voltage (1.35V) to get 4.65Ghz clock speed and 1.20V for all core 4.2Ghz. Where as the other one only pulled 1.3V to achieve 4.65Ghz and 1.10V for all core 4.2Ghz.

    With these results, my assumption would be that the CPU that pulls less voltage to achieve same clock speed would have the better silicon. BUT the CPU that pulls the higher voltage consistently scored up to 5% higher in Cinebench in all 10 runs.

    Which made me confused and wondering whether silicon quality actually affects the amount of voltage the CPU is able to pull. I haven't really run these CPU to its limits, as I'm not confident in overclocking but this test I was happy to do.

    So I would like to know what would the CPU do with a better silicon and would like to between which of these two CPU has the better silicon and why.
