Samsung and Sony are the two kings of smartphone camera sensors, equipping not just their phones but almost every other phone in the market with excellent sensors. However, their strategy is a bit different. The South Korean firm focuses largely on sensors with a high resolution, while Sony is more focused on physically larger camera sensors, going as high as 1 inch.
Intel: Our 3D V-Cache Tech Will Take a Different Approach Than AMD
19.09.2023 - 22:52 / pcmag.com / Pat Gelsinger / Will Take / Will
Intel is preparing its own chip-stacking technology to rival AMD’s "3D V-cache" tech, according to CEO Pat Gelsinger.
But don’t expect Intel to take the same chip-stacking approach as AMD, which has been using the technology to essentially double the L3 cache on certain gaming-focused Ryzen processors. The extra memory can improve gaming frame rates on a PC, although sometimes at the cost of generating more heat, as our tests have found.
When asked at today's Intel Innovation event in San Jose if Intel would ever adopt a 3D V-cache system to stack additional memory on top of its chip dies, Gelsinger said: “When you reference V-cache here, you’re talking about a very specific technology that TSMC [AMD’s chip manufacturer] does with some of its customers as well. Obviously, we’re doing that differently, right?”
Intel has no plans to use a 3D V-cache-like technology on the company’s Meteor Lake processors, which start rolling out in December. “But in our roadmap, you’re going to see this idea of the 3D silicon, where we’ll have cache on one die, right? And then we’ll have CPU compute on a stacked die, on top of it,” Gelsinger said.
That sounds different than AMD, which has been using the chip-stacking tech to place added memory on top of its CPU dies. According to Gelsinger, Intel wants to do the opposite and stack the CPU on top of the memory.
Although Intel’s CEO was light on details, he said the company plans on connecting the chip dies vertically using its EMIB and Foveros processes, allowing the silicon to communicate together in a single package. “So we feel very good that we have advanced capabilities for next-generation memory architectures,” he added.
According to Gelsinger, Intel plans on making the chip-stacking approach available for the company’s own CPUs and for clients through Intel’s growing foundry business, which is competing with TSMC. But he didn't say when it will launch, so it could be years before it becomes a reality.

Intel's next-gen Lunar Lake CPU demo poses more questions than it answers
We're still waiting for Intel's next-gen Meteor Lake CPUs to make retail availability. All the expectations are that those chips will be limited to laptops and the desktop will only receive a minor refresh of the existing Raptor Lake chips. But now comes news that Intel has been showing off yet another new generation of CPUs, known as Lunar Lake.

Intel's commitment to building GPUs is 'pretty self evident' as Arc lands in Meteor Lake
Intel has been a genuine player in gaming graphics cards for around a year now; more or less since the release of the Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards. Whether Intel will stick around in the discrete graphics card game has come into question many times since, to the almost certain frustration of those working closely on the products. Culminating in Intel's Tom Petersen telling me «we're not going anywhere» in 2022—before even the launch of Intel's first big gaming graphics cards.
