TECH - Intel Accuses AMD Of Peddling 'Snake Oil' CPUs In A Brief Yet Blistering Attack | Benzinga
In a recent skirmish between semiconductor giants, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) has publicly accused its rival AMD Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) of misleading consumers. The accusation, which was targeted at AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series mobile processors, came to light in a since-deleted presentation by Intel.
What Happened: As reported by The Verge on Tuesday, Intel’s scathing presentation targeted AMD’s Ryzen 5 7520U mobile processor, criticizing its naming system as a means of “selling half-truths to unsuspecting customers”. The presentation alleged that AMD’s latest Ryzen 7000 series, despite being launched last year, uses a misleading naming scheme that suggests modernity. They are based on AMD’s older Zen 2 architecture, not the latest Zen 4. “The Ryzen 5 7520U is built on dated Zen 2 architecture released in 2019! AMD's old architecture is hidden in plain sight!” Intel proclaimed in the presentation.
