AMD vs Intel CPU Architectures

What is the main reason average users might not notice the difference between AMD and Intel CPUs?

• The differences are only noticeable in specific benchmarks.

• They have identical performance in all tasks.

• Both companies use the same manufacturing process.

• AMD and Intel CPUs are priced the same.

What is a core complex (CCX) in AMD's Ryzen CPUs?

• A type of cooling system.

• A single core with no cache memory.

• A group of cores with shared cache memory.

• A standalone processing unit.

How does AMD's Infinity Fabric benefit their CPU design?

• It enables better scalability and cost savings.

• It allows for higher clock speeds.

• It increases the power consumption.

• It reduces the number of cores needed.

What is the primary difference between AMD's chiplet design and Intel's monolithic design?

• AMD's design uses smaller chiplets for cost efficiency.

• Intel's design has lower latency.

• Intel's design allows for better scalability.

• AMD's design is more expensive.

What are Intel's chiplets called?

• Segments

• Modules

• Blocks

• Tiles

What is a key advantage of Intel's EMIBs over AMD's Infinity Fabric?

• Lower bandwidth

• Increased latency

• Parallel data movement

• Higher power consumption

What is Intel's Foveros technology primarily focused on?

• Increasing core count

• Stacking chips vertically

• Improving cooling efficiency

• Reducing power consumption

Why might monolithic chip designs remain relevant in the market?

• They are easier to manufacture.

• They are cost-effective for systems with lower computing needs.

• They offer better performance for high-end systems.

• They are more expensive to produce.

What was a major reason for the discontinuation of Intel's Lakefield lineup?

• High production costs

• Poor market demand

• Technical failures

• Competition from AMD

What is a potential limitation of using too many tiles in Intel's design?

• Higher production costs

• Hitting a thermal ceiling

• Reduced scalability

• Increased power efficiency
