It sure is great watching it peg my 8-core workstation at 12.5% processor use while doing anything.

i sometimes wish my work laptop had more processors + ram if only because the horrible enterprise surveillance software is coded by incompetent fools that somehow need 5gb for a keylogger or something. Good news is it's single threaded so my dozen user applications can share the other 3 cores.

I imagine the GPUs won't be poo poo, they'll just be ever so much behind our nvidia overlords.

The 460/480 series provides pretty good bang for the buck currently but you're still pretty much better off with a 1060/1070, and Vega likely won't be competitive with the 1080/1080ti.

unclear whether they need to compete with the 1080s though. vulkan is rather fixing one of amds main problems (software parity) for them atm, and it was never like they were too stupid to figure out how to stick shaders onto dies anyway. i sort of think amd may actually make it (i.e. struggle along almost making profits for another decade) at this rate if the zen roadmap works out

we use a lot of autodesk poo poo at the university I work at but i have yet to hear of any workplace that actually uses it

like they're always Creo with Windchill, or NX with TeamCenter, and/or solidworks, and Mastercam

or CATIA or w/e

there a specific industry that actually uses autodesk products other than Maya??

my friend was complaining on fb about how his pc has, for as long as he's had it, randomly rebooted. he could never figure it out and it was never reproducible. people were offering suggestions which were all "did that. did that. tried that. nope, not that." the next he posts that he removed his overclock and it stopped doing it. the first response was basically 'you idiot'

anand's take

so if you have a cpu bound multi-threaded workload, and for some reason didn't already have a xeon e5 to run it on, you could conceivably save money by buying a ryzen

yup. the core can support it, but all the consumer parts have that disabled.

so forget reliably using high memory densities
