An enlightening new interview with AMD CTO Mark Papermaster has revealed two of the tech giant’s biggest strategies coming in the near future — which he hopes will level the playing field between AMD and Intel in the CPU market.
Papermaster first discussed how AMD officially plans on introducing ‘hybrid’ CPUs to its consumer product lineup. For the uninitiated, hybrid architecture uses larger cores designed for performance mixed in with smaller efficiency cores. The performance cores handle the main bulk of processing, while the efficiency cores take care of background processes to free up resources. It’s groundbreaking tech, and something that Intel had already introduced in its 12th-Gen chips to great effect.
