Looking at this, I don’t think the APO will be a long lived feature. The work it does (or rather the work intel people have apparently done per game and cpu basis) should be done by the game developers, dividing their workloads properly to latency sensitive stuff and background stuff. I think in the future there will be less and less need for this feature.

15th gen desktop is going to bring modest performance boost (think 5-10% single threaded) but significant efficiency boost. That’s the main rumor.

They redesigned it completely as intel phased out Xeon phi. It’s still a couple of years delayed though.

No.

Firstly, intel4 has been shipping for some time now so that’s where they currently are. They say they are in track for intel20A long before tsmc has 2nm. But more importantly, the nanometer number is entirely made up. Nothing in the chips is 4nm. The only thing you should be interested in is performance. If AMD performs better for the price buy AMD, if intel performs better for the price buy intel.
