here are the specs for the AMD part of El Cap:

AMD technology within El Capitan includes:

  • Next generation AMD EPYC processors, codenamed “Genoa” featuring the “Zen 4” processor core. These processors will support next generation memory and I/O sub systems for AI and HPC workloads,
  • Next generation Radeon Instinct GPUs based on a new compute-optimized architecture for workloads including HPC and AI. These GPUs will use the next- generation high bandwidth memory and are designed for optimum deep learning performance,
  • The 3rd Gen AMD Infinity Architecture, which will provide a high-bandwidth, low latency connection between the four Radeon Instinct GPUs and one AMD EPYC CPU included in each node of El Capitan. As well, the 3rd Gen AMD Infinity Architecture includes unified memory across the CPU and GPU, easing programmer access to accelerated computing,
  • An enhanced version of the open source ROCm heterogenous programming environment, being developed to tap into the combined performance of AMD CPUs and GPUs, unlocking maximum performance.

    Anyway, if it comes down to just money, investment and aggressiveness, I doubt TSMC will allow Intel to leap ahead.
    From the way Intel is buying its own shares to support the SP, it looks like they have something other than investing in technology in mind. Maybe something like holding the price up while the big fellas exit. As Neo has suggested, maybe they will go fabless, or just go.
