Jeremy has been writing about technology and PCs since the 90nm Netburst era (Google it!) and enjoys nothing more than a serious dissertation on the finer points of monitor input lag and overshoot followed by a forensic examination of advanced lithography. Or maybe he just likes machines that go “ping!” He also has a thing for tennis and cars.
), also known as N4. That's both a step up on and a natural progression from the 6nm node used for its existing Alchemist GPUs, such as theBoth AMD and Nvidia's existing GPUs are already produced on similar TSMC silicon. Okay, AMD's RDNA 3 GPUs, such as the, are on TSMC's N5 node. But N5 and N4 are derivations of the same basic node and closely related.
Now, a production node isn't everything. But it does largely dictate what generation of GPU you're dealing with. It impacts both realistic transistor counts and has a significant impact on clockspeeds. It is of course the overall transistor count or budget of a chip that dictates how many features can be squeezed in. Obviously Intel's GPU architecture is different from AMD's and Nvidia's so it's not a case of counting up the number of shaders and calling it a day in terms of comparative performance.
If that's true, it could be Intel's saving grace. Early leaked roadmaps had Battlemage originally pencilled in for the beginning of this year. If it appears early 2025, that will make it around a year later than originally planned.
