Q3 2024 Financial reports shows total datacenter revenue of $14.51B. I’d assume that there’s some discounting going on at that kind of volume.

By comparison, gaming revenue was $2.86B for Q3 2024.

To show the explosive growth:

The Q1 2024 financial report had datacenter revenue at $7.19B. Q3 2023 datacenter revenue was at $3.83B.

No one knows what performance will be like on 15th gen since it’ll use tiles and a different architecture – the rumors are all over the place from what I’ve read. There might be some weird problems, or it might just be similar to what 14th gen offers today, but with “MOAR coarez” which should help with certain workloads, but probably not much for gaming.

The main benefit I can see from waiting would be that you can drop in 16th gen (probably) and hopefully, by then, whatever issues there may be with 15th gen would be worked out.
