Anyone for a repeat of the Coffee Lake Refresh architecture? Well, Intel GFX CI bootlogs suggest that is what the Comet Lake H and S series will be. Does another 14 nm refinement and 2 MB per core of L3 cache on Hyper-Threaded chips sound familiar to you?

Intel's R&D investments are among the highest of the world, what have they been using it on? ???
Why do you care about nm? 14nm+++, Above 5Ghz, and AMD's 7nm less than 4Ghz. AND EVEN not much better power efficiency..... Most of Power efficiency of AMD comes because of Higher L3 Cache in optimized benchmarks. Otherwise, you see, for example, in Games, Intel is still *much* Ahead. In Anything CPU-Intensive, Intel leads AMD.
Memory? Maybe..

Have you been living in a cave for the past 3 years? Or are you just dim?
These are not gaming CPUs, you nutter! You and your ridiculous GHz obsession is ridiculous - typical of dull gaming kids.
You can't even get your facts right. And AMD's Zen 2 on 7nmn is incredibly more power efficient than Intel's 14nm or even 10nm. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-core, 16-thread) is only 65W TDP, which Intel can never hope to come close with their 14nm on a per core basis! That is the whole reason why "nm" manufacturing process is so important, Einstein!
But its not just manufacturing process that accounts for AMD's energy efficiency, you clown. Its the fact that AMD understands that since Moore's Law is dead, you can't just keep increasing voltage and clockspeed. Silicon chips just get hotter the higher the clockspeed - efficiency plummets, as Intel is finding out.
AMD is DELIBERATELY avoiding high clockspeeds! Using more cores at lower clockspeeds is the way to achieve high performance and low power consumption, GEDDIT! Its also what ARM is doing, dumb dumb!
Now go get your pacifier and go back to your silly games!
