The difficulty of reporting news two years after pandemic rush is that it is no longer a new one that plays every aspect of our lives.For this reason, CES 2022 has a large amount of shiny new technologies that will be talked about, but in fact, it is difficult for most people to get these products at retail prices.But behind this reality, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other companies in this field can not stop just because the global supply chain is broken.The pies they are fighting are in a size that cannot be ignored, and it is necessary to maintain the momentum when millions of supply chains begin to be overturned.
However, if you ignore pandemic, the story of CES is that large companies around the world have been laser to provide desirable new technologies.AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA are competing with each other, and the addition of Apple's unique silicon pressure has brought out the best of all companies.
Here are two specially impressive trends.
Naturally, Apple has attracted a lot of attention with its M1 chips.Apple guarantees that everything is linked to the processor, from powerful and efficient, and from software to hardware.However, it is often ignored, but many of its power and efficiency are derived from Apple's exclusive holding a 5NM manufacturing process of TSMC (Taiwanese Dumpling Corporation).
Why is that important? Simply put, the smaller the process, the more powerful you can get more power from the same amount of energy.AMD has made a great leap in performance and efficiency than Intel, thanks to his 7nm design of TSMC, but Intel remained 14nm.At present, Intel is trying to catch up with 10nm (in this scale, it is basically the same as the TSMC 7nm -even if it is not good).
How do AMD intend to compete? AMD has dropped to the TSMC 6NM process in the next mobile chip "Ryzen 6000".And the next -generation desktop chip "Ryzen 7000" to be released in late 2022? They will adopt his 5NM process as Apple.
For mobile Ryzen 6000 parts, this means a very long battery life, and AMD promises it.AMD anticipates that the chips mounted on the laptop can last 24 hours, although they are faster than any other product in the market.And the 7000 chips for desktops can work more quietly and cool, but we need to test all of them.
Before you dismiss this news that you can't use it because you don't intend to buy the most expensive parts at the top, keep in mind that almost all the chips provided by AMD have the benefits of this technology.want.In addition, affordable parts of the entry -level price are better than ever before, and if you combine them with top -class GPUs, you can experience incredible games.
Mobile computing has already been strong, but with AMD and Apple driving Intel, the productivity and games notebook PCs are more substantial than ever.Many of them are again powerful and efficient.Most laptops are as powerful as most people need for daily work, so the battery life has been improved.In other words, even a 500 -US dollar laptop has the necessary processing horsepower to drive a 1080p display in 60 frames/seconds in productivity workloads such as web, email, and editing photos and videos.。
This small power shortage is a chance for engineers and at the same time as a headache.If there is plenty of power, companies can reduce the number of watts and suck energy from the battery.However, many laptops are both high -speed, and after working all day, streaming Netflix until the evening does not require a charging break.
But if you don't need any more power and you don't need any more battery life, what should I do? Well, I personally want to extend the battery life, but I am in charge.do not have.What is actually happening is to manufacture what engineers and designers need more power.Speaking of laptops, thin, lightweight, and display -ups on display correspond.
This is the road where many laptop OEMs have been walking in recent years.Nowadays, very slim laptops are available, and many of them have his 1440p or 4K display.If it is a screen of 15 inches or less, you can get a 1080p notebook PC display that has enough sharpness in the game, but now a display with high refresh rate, such as 144 Hz and 360Hz, has appeared.
The problem revealed in this CES is that the hardware manufacturer has lost all the ways to use up all the power that can be used freely.Dell has announced the lineup of the ultra -thin gaming notebook PC "ALIENWARE X".These devices are equipped with a full graphic card of the RTX 30 series and a maximum of 1440p and 360Hz, despite the thickness of 15 mm or less.
In response, some companies are trying to think about the design of the laptop PC.For example, Lenovo has announced the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3, which is equipped with a 17 -inch Ultra Wide 21 x 10 displays and incorporates the second 8 -inch display alongside the keyboard.
The 17 -inch screen has a 3,072 x 1,440 resolution, but the 12th generation Intel Core H series processor does not sweat.Since 4K is overdoing this size device, Lenovo adds pixels in a new, potentially innovative way.
ASUS is trying to do the same on the 17 -inch tablet "Zenbook 17 Fold Windows".
Neither of them will be a new standard for mobile computing, but there is no doubt that it is a single stab for the future.
