So the real competition going forward won’t be Intel vs AMD, or even Qualcomm vs NVIDIA, but AMD vs NVIDIA - at least regarding CPU’s.
When it comes to GPUs it’s anybody’s guess. Intel’s Xe platform might come out swinging, and in fact with the driver updates it’s already improved a lot. NVIDIA is still the king of the hill in this category, but also price wise. Radeon has taken some years to get where it’s at, but sits neatly in 2nd place.
But, arguably - and we’re not looking at ARM Holding them selves as an SoC vendor (just a licenser) - AMD APU’s are the most sold general purpose SoC out there. We take into account the PlayStation, Xbox, PC’s and so forth. Outside of ARM, AMD is currently the king of the hill regarding CPU’s. Inside of ARM, that’s probably either Samsung or Appe.
With all this in mind, things could always make a turn. Intel could come out with an ARM SoC and knock it out of the park, Allwinner might win all as Chinese vendors might still make up the difference.
It’s a crazy future, but the biggest question is still who can have more TOPS and say AI the most at one of this year’s expos. Join TechTechPotato at the end of the year for the final tally.
