I went to some dying shopping mall today and while I was in their restrooms, I noticed someone used a knife to etch "AMD IS 2 FAST" into the stall door. Not sure what to make of it.

I imagine we might see some updated motherboards in the meantime as well as CPUs. Just the socket will probably stay the same.

How much overlap is there between the SATA/USB ports and the PCIe slots? On my current board, using the NVMe slot for instance disables the PCIe 4x slot. One PCIe 1x on the southbridge also goes, if I use certain SATA ports.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:weird, some people on reddit were reporting that it was soldered sometime in early 2015. i'm not sure why it was for those people, assuming they're not just making GBS threads us It sounds like BS to me, why would Intel make CPUs with a known cause of failure built in? I would assume the G3258 is a very small die CPU so it would definitely be affected by the problems with thermal cycling on small die soldered CPUs.

They wouldn't be any smaller than other mainstream i3-7 processors of that generation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they all are just versions of the mobile chips (rather than Xeons which are the source of the HEDT or whatever chips) that either don't make the cut power wise, have other non-parametric defects like, say, a mask defect that results in a void where a couple transistors should be in one of the cores, or have stuff disabled intentionally since they sell more of the cheaper processors, and the yield is high enough that if they kept every die as the model that it is good for, there wouldn't be enough supply of the pentiums and i3/5s as well as an overabundance of i5/7s sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Now, iirc, those chips are small enough to where it wouldn't be advisable to solder them, but I could be wrong.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:Why not just heat it up enough to melt the solder and weaken the adhesive? Too high of a temp? Or maybe you could carefully try to cut the adhesive and then run a heat gun over the cover to desolder the thing. Does intel/AMD sputter a sufficiently thick metal layer on the back of the die after they mill it down? I remember someone posting a video of a guy trying to do this with a blowtorch and an AMD CPU. The way I remember it going was the guy just cranking away at the heat spreader until he turned it around and noticed the pins had melted. edit: Might have been this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Hp0xQhJwg Icept fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Feb 20, 2017 |

NVMe is literally a mechanism to directly attach storage devices to the PCIe bus, so yes, it'll eat PCIe lanes.

Heh, yeah a blowtorch of all things probably wouldn't be the best item to use though I'm not sure if it could reach a high enough temperature to melt the aluminum or whatever the actual pins are made from... Thankfully intel cpus are immune from that anyways

This is a bit old cause I didn't follow this thread as closely as I should in the last three weeks but...mayodreams posted:AMD won't be getting into data centers with any significance for at least a couple of years. Brand new architectures and platforms need time to drivers sorted before trusting production level workloads. I have a raging AMD fan boy boner right now too, but typical hardware cycles are 3-5 years, and there will be a lot of hesitance on this new platform until real world data is available. The HPC people I'm talking to are standing in a loving line to get AMD into their datacenters right now, dumping intel and their CUDA apps, just to get on the Zen APU train a bit earlier, because big clients like CERN etc are breathing down their neck about it. What the poo poo are you on about? Paul MaudDib posted:I'm sure it'll be an overclocker's dream... A nightmare is a dream after all Also, to all the people saying more cores won't see anything in gaming, I'm very glad I have a HT 4 core right now, it means I don't have to close my browser and other poo poo when playing games, doubly so in VR (as frame drops are even more annoying there), and now that games are slowly starting to move to 4 threads proper it's the perfect time to upgrade to a 6 or even 8 core, and keep that ability intact.

Because having GPU on package is so much better than having to run through a lengthy pcie bus. There's that CUDA -> OpenCL compiler now so they probably won't have to unless they run into any incompatibilities, I'm just saying that they would do it if they had to, to get to use Zen APUs.

The R7 1700X is basically identical (CB) or 5% faster (3DMark) compared to the 6900K at $389 vs $1050. I suspect that the overclocking headroom will be minimal because XFR is essentially automated overclocking but the value looks tremendous. I hope this is not a flash in the pan and AMD can keep this up without Keller on board.
