This is exactly the problem I was saying about Intel: they really wanted to push x86 everywhere, without considering whether it's a good fit or not. Mobile is growing? Make a x86 CPU for it (Atom). Super computing? Make a x86 CPU array. They even wanted to push x86 into embedded computing (with limited success).
Poor timing and design decisions.
With Mediatek moving to designs with all big cores it's getting to the point where x86 isn't much of a problem any more for mobile either. As for Xeon Phi, CU/SM's in GPUs aren't small enough that using x86 for the scalar processing is a significant overhead ... it was how Intel decided to design the rest of the processor which made it impossible to compete with GPUs. Narrower SIMD, less SMT, strict coherence etc ... that killed the computational density, not x86.
Based on the latest report by reliable insider and leaker, @Jaykihn0, it looks like the company has significantly altered its discrete GPU plans. It is said that the high-end Battlemage BMG-G31 GPU is more or less dead and that has been the case since Q3 of 2024. We did see some dies ship by the tail end of 2024, but it looks like those may just be for testing or evaluation purposes with plans for a retail launch being scrapped much earlier.
what does PPA stand for?Not surprising. They’re too far behind on PPA with Battlemage.
