The AMD server chips are 7nm and not as hot ... It's not just the more aggressive geometry, it's their supreme chip design to go!

TG, The AMD server chips are 7nm and not as hot. I'm not sure how Intel stumbled on 10nm, but it's VERY uncharacteristic of them. They also have bugs that need patching. If you're talking about Spectre and Meltdown, those vulnerabilities can potentially affect a lot of CPUs, including those based on ARM. It's pretty nasty, and it has the whole CPU architecture world rethinking basic concepts like speculative and privileged execution. Tenchusatsu
