Intel has to create something that doesnt break existing patents etc for their architecture and so forth. Also a 3700x and 3900x is basicslly just a normal 9900k..yeah its a bit cheaper but the accompanying motherboards are basically what brings their cost even closer. The real difference was supposed to be heat and power draw..which amd chips are not fantastic at...and they still have some issues and depending if you were screwed on what chip you were given because of their horrible quality control and definitely other issues then intels old chips are superior and more efficient than amds new Chiplets.

Germanium did in fact see a lot of use in the very early days of solid-state semiconductors. Many of the first transistors used germanium instead of silicone, though the applications of this material are fairly niche these days.

Linus: "Intel has announced that for its 7nm chips that could be released around 2020 it'll be using something other than silicon" 2021 - Intel just starts releasing 10nm chips

so basicly CPU Cache is on die RAM we have L1 L2 and L3 as L4 was thought to slow it down not speed it up from a single core design for both consumer and server chip POV as after they go through the CPU Cache then they have 2GB to 1.2TB of system RAM to go through and the time to go through the small L4 cache is a slow down not a speed up for severs but a speed up for consumers so Intel dropped it in 2014~2015 broadwell had it through dropped in Skylake core design you also need to think about it from a point of view do you need more CPU Cache when the Cache to core ratio is about 1.24 or 1.25 MB to a core on a modern CPU so small so the CPU can access it quickly and return to the core after that the engineers decided to improve the other parts not listed on the spec sheet to make it faster by moving them around the reference chip design Sandybridge for Intel and Bulldozer for AMD while a majority redesign will improve performance most times at this time a higher on die cache to core ratio will slow it down not speed it up when using the same design for both consumer chips and server chips IF they are to divide the chip design apart and focus on consumer needs for one and server needs for the other then the socket in a server board will most likely not take a consumer chip and the other way around too but also the price will go up too as the amount of R&D will increase to do 2 designs instead of 1 for both so cost savings which in turn is thankfully passed onto the consumer too

Hi techquickie, just to let you know I just love your videos. all of them: time-span, quality content, even the clever commercials! Keep it going and congratz!
Many years ago I heard about a breakthru in synthetic diamond manufacture that would have made them very cheap to mass produce, and the possibility was raised that synth diamond could be used to replace silicon as the core for CPUs. Diamond was supposed to have greater heat tolerance than silicon so a diamond CPU could run hotter, and since diamond was transparent it would allow IR to radiate thru it to let heat out better, so it would actually heat up less. I guess that feel thru, or maybe the DeBeers family had the guy who invented the cheap synth diamond process murdered.
Linus does not do future predictions for what is to come soon as carbon nano tubes and graphene are 2 possibilities for what Intel will use in 2020 but they also have other materials they can use or even make a new one in a lab to use in their chips material engineering is a field upon itself
Some electronic properties of gallium arsenide are superior to those of silicon. It has a higher saturated electron velocity and higher electron mobility, allowing gallium arsenide transistors to function at frequencies in excess of *250 GHz.*
looking at how carbon nanotubes work they are to big for a 7nm chip but if Intel can use that concept on a smaller scale something like that will be used as carbon is the most likely element to be used for the chip and germanium for the board connections but both are more expensive than Silicon and if Intel prices itself out of the market of consumers it will be bad
That bit of hair sticking up, I can't help but stare. But this script is well written, interesting and to the point... most 'quick tips' on RUclips tend to flounder about or use to little info. Here's a sub! Good on ya :)
I know this is just a basic video, but I think it should have been emphasized more that SiO2 (silicon dioxide) is arguably THE most important reason for the choice of Si. It's not only a very good electrical insulator, but also has a stable interface with Si, is a good natural diffusion mask during doping, and has very good etching selectivity between Si and SiO2. Having such a good natural oxide made it the most compelling choice (among all the other reasons, like being cheap, easy to work with, etc.). Another huge aspect to Si that wasn't mentioned is the fairly well balanced electron and hole mobility, which makes CMOS technology viable in the first place.
Why do they need to make Cpu's more compact, Couldn't they just make a Cpu that is twice the size for desktops or would that not actually increase performance?
Birki gts because the signal has to travel through more physical space than if the cpu is more compact and because there is a limit on much a typical task can be made in parallel so even if you had a big CPU highly optimized it would wait for even more time than our systems do now.
+patttiat if the games were to compromise in some other aspecs. Optimization is another word for "let's see what we can compromise on to achieve this other thing in the specific capabilities of this piece of hardware". It doesn't always lead to miracles.
***** yes and no, your definition is right but most optimizations are made so they compromise on aspects not perceived or way less perceived than "the other thing" by the user. So ideally you'd compromise where it doesn't matter but I wouldn't say anything specific about abilities of certain hardware because that needs verification to be correct.
Just realized that silicon and silicone are different things in English. Always wondered why you guys talk about silicone in CPUs like what the hell is that doing in there, because CPUs are made up of Silicium and in my language (German) there's only "Silikon" and "Silizium" and no silicon-silicium synonym whatsoever.
Apparantly one of the best materials for Computer chips is Gallium Arsenide. It has much higher electricity mobility and Direct band Gap. The only using Silicon is still used is because its cheap. Hopefully we soon see Consumer Gallium Arsenide chips.
Many material scientists theorize that the next semiconductor material will be Carbon. Some areas have already used diamond (a form of pure carbon) to store images. Carbon is also a very common in contrast to GaAs and Ge which are current substitutes for Si and used in some electronic devices.
It's good that they're getting away form silicone. It isn't as prone to temperature fluctuations but it is to light. That's why they're used in solar cells & IC's are very opaque. Hopefully the future replacement for silicone will be either translucent of transparent.
The reason why semiconductors are used is not because "they aren't quite as good" at conducting electricity", it's because they conduct electricity under some circumstances, and under others - they don't. This allows transistors to be switched on and off, allowing them to perform calculations. Metals can't be made to not conduct electricity, therefore they can't be used for making transistors.
Silicon is the 8th most abundant element in the universe, and the 2nd most abundant element in the earth's crust. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth's_crust
You can make heavier elements with fusion (that's how all the heavier ones got made) but all the fusion steps up to iron give off more energy than they take in, whereas iron requires more energy in than it gives off in fusing
Up until the 70s, transistors and circuits were made with germanium, but they were fragile and very prone to failure. Researchers found silicon as the best alternative for circuits, as it was in the same element group as germanium and it worked much better for transistor applications.
So since you didn't post a link to the article you reference briefly in your video, what were they building this new chip out of in the year 202? Graphene?
Back in the 90s my fav parallel computer which was SIMD, was test fab'd in GaAs so that it could run faster in the seeker of a missile.. no idea if BAe completed the project, but back then we begged for one to add to our Computer Centre for general user access.. we didn't get it and so stuck with 10Mhz silicon version instead.. my threadripper is secretly laughing at 4096 1bit processors..

Like and the 7950X will be made of Germanium and will cost 5000USD
7.111% faster than a i7 2600K
Pyjamas987 - Clash Royale and more nah we will be able to grow our own 7950x
2:06 the way he really steps into space and voice changes :p
360p 4 life
thank you so much this is the exact question i was asking today
The future belongs to molecular computers!
We should use Aluminium Arsenide (AlAs) as it's a semiconducTOR, but it should be used in radios only if ykyk

Up until the 70s, transistors and circuits were made with germanium, but they were fragile and very prone to failure. Researchers found silicon as the best alternative for circuits, as it was in the same element group as germanium and it worked much better for transistor applications.
"Intel has already announced, that for its 7nm chips that could be released around 2020."
Ouch

Reaction on the previous comment
TR-8R overreaction to the first and second comment
reading the comments
excellent writing
So since you didn't post a link to the article you reference briefly in your video, what were they building this new chip out of in the year 202? Graphene?
That first minute pretty much took me back to high school chem LOL
Do about HTRF 3D Sound Head-related transfer function
Wow this one was actually good and informative ... *smashes like*
Back in the 90s my fav parallel computer which was SIMD, was test fab'd in GaAs so that it could run faster in the seeker of a missile.. no idea if BAe completed the project, but back then we begged for one to add to our Computer Centre for general user access.. we didn't get it and so stuck with 10Mhz silicon version instead.. my threadripper is secretly laughing at 4096 1bit processors..
just a question...
if you accidentally short circuit the mobo, is the processor that's inserted on there gonna be dead too?
NICE TO KNOW as an employee of a semiconductor Company. Infineon. very well explained
Why do they use circular Silicon Waffers instead of square or Rectanagular? seems to me that would allow for 'printing'(or whatever the process is called) up to the edge minimising the about cut off to be chucked back into the furnace for the next batch.
Techquickie is specialised, keep going, and surely he could be a teacher
