So wait, am I getting this right Intel is concerned about Ryzen, which is launching soon. AMD seems on the upswing and Ryzen promises to meet or exceed expectations. Meanwhile, Intel has had massive lay offs and is going through a bit of a boondoggle while this is happening?

i mean anyone who didn't act on the perf leaks was just dumb as heck + I hedged w/ Nvidia as a play on GPUs given the DEEEEEEP LEARNING hype train is peaking and it was a good 2016

Oh god, could there be a time where even Intel has to spin off it's fabs? My understanding is that between Intel and AMD, it's only a contest because Intel has the planetary sized boat anchor known as fab expenses keeping it in check.

I love how they dismiss the amount of cores as a performance factor, just to end the paragraph highlighting the availability of a 10-core of their own. Did they issue something like that before, whenever AMD released a CPU?

I find it hilarious that some are more than willing to spend north of $500 for AMD that amounts to virtually imperceptible boosts over a OC 2500K for gaming purposes, but $400 for a GTX 1070? That's called Ngreedia.

Like can someone find the posts in this thread where people use Ngreedia unironically while we discuss processors, or where people are seriously discussing the top model Ryzen for gaming use? Palladium please stop fighting the TPU/HardOCP/WCCFTech phantoms, this is SA.

he'd be one of the mythical "Cult of The Salt Statue of Pentium 4" if he didn't like nvidia (which, most of us actually do like nvidia as well) but he sure is living in 2011 all the time when people still barely gave a poo poo about fanboy rivalry

I'll actually admit to kind of liking the Pentium 4 from a morbid curiosity pov. I have an M stepping Prescott still which are apparently crazy OCers (for a Pentium 4) and I keep feeling the temptation of building a system around it to see what I'd get out of it. It's me, I'm the guy who opens the necronomicon.

the first-gen atom processor doing the same work a bone stock prescott pentium 4 did 4 years later with 1/10 the power really impressed me at the time and i'm also similarly impressed by the N3700 being a 6w Q6600. if only they didn't cock up their atom chips for important poo poo!

It's really need from a perspective of knowing a bit about pipelines and stuff and how insane the replay engine in the Pentium 4 is. The clock targets of the architecture were higher than a modest scheduler could handle so they had ridiculously deep pipelines and an overeager scheduler that just tried to fill up the pipelines with whatever would fit in them. The replay engine would catch the stuff that couldn't actually be executed yet and just keep throwing it at the end of the pipeline over and over until it worked. Turns out in most situations this makes your processor incredibly slow, hungry, and warm because all the execution units are being filled with the same crap they can't actually work with. NetBurst. There's a reason they eventually dropped it and went back to a microarchitecture from 8 years behind, shoved it full of new features on a then-modern node, clocked it up, and started working on more efficient and better scaling multi-core packages. e: Also there was going to be Tejas, a 150W TDP single-core Pentium 4, but the people at Intel had the good sense to throw all that crap out and release Yonah and eventually the first Conroe Core 2 chips.

Im all about that single‐thread performance. More cores are tolerate so long as they dont sabotage that.

I had no idea the mobile Atoms had come that far, that's really impressive. Is Goldmont actually really badass and just nobody noticed? The N4200 is about 30% faster per clock than N3700, so should be the same as a 3GHz core 2 quad?!

AMDs roadmaps show Raven Ridge covering the whole 6-35w range, so we probably won't see much done with cat cores besides shrinking them for console SoCs.

Also happy that I bought 300 shares of AMD at $9, although tempered a bit by the fact that I got skittish and put in a sell order for 100 of them over the weekend right before they jumped another $1.50. At least I've locked in some gains so I won't get completely washed out if Ryzen is somehow a bust and they drop like a rock though.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:yeah, it uses 12w though, but still pretty Thats pretty insane. I'd like to see a side by side personally but I don't doubt that they have gotten this good. Unfortunate about the stupid PCI-E limit though. An Unlocked Atom to mess with and OC would be kind of fun too. Since you could get a Q6600 to around 3.6Ghz with a little finesse, an atom at that speed would be pretty amazing if the power usage can be kept in check. Reminds me of the old Pentium DC's back then. E2180 1.6ghz of fury that you could push to 3.6Ghz+ and get within striking distance of OC'ed E6600's for like $60 vs $200~
