It should have the "Rip and tear your threads" Doom comic edit right on the box.

That packaging is only cool if you open it by depressing a hidden catch which causes the processor to rip and tear through the front window

Uh the box is a lot bigger than what I expected. It really does look like a portable color TV set from the seventies.

Probably the AIO takes a ton of room from the box. Why else they would make such a huge box?

That has to be a publicity piece to send to the reviewer. There's no way they're actually going to sell that on shelves.

I feel like I'm the only one who unironically loves this packaging because like the entire Zen lineup it's totally over the top.

Screw it, AMD is going for an over-the-top vaguely retro marketing feel, and I'm for it. If they have a great product, that's all that matters.

It's a mech suit. Sound cards too I guess and mobos had weird box art. Pretty much anything gamer. Gamer culture is so tacky but I'm not sure how it got that way. I just remember it was always like that except the 3Dfx VooDoo boxes weren't as tacky. I blame nvidia and ATI.

I hope HP will have a Z series workstation with a Thread Ripper soon, I don't mind building my own but I do like the peace and quiet of my Mac Pro, and if the other Zseries are an indication they are about the same.

Is it just a 120mm AIO liquid cooler being packed in? I thought 120s were price/performance comparable to large heatsinks.

STH has a big article on memory bandwidth/latencies on Epyc. https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-infinity-fabric-latency-ddr4-2400-v-2666-a-snapshot/ Pretty much as we expected. Latency spikes across NUMA zones are not ideal, but actually better than i was expecting honestly. Bandwidth shows pretty clearly that the game for Epyc (and Threadripper to a lesser extent) will be making sure that the OS and scheduler stash the right stuff in the right ram bank, because you really don't want to be reaching across IF:

For single socket, I'd love to get a SFF workstation class machine. For dual socket which I'll probably never afford new, Z8 series chassis would be super neat. e: Any APU plans for these new CPUs?

I mean for (U)SFF, I'd rather not deal with a low profile GPU and just have the GPU on die.

Realistically, AMD should have marketing ramp-up on APUs right now, in order to get them into the Fall 2017 Back-To-School launch window. That we haven't heard a peep about them so far probably means we won't see them until December holiday, or January at CES. There's a *chance*, since OEMs were showing off AMD-based hardware (or hardware-liked mockups) at the Zen launch, some in laptop form-factor, but I wouldn't count on APUs. Maybe AMD + NVIDIA.

Errrrrrr, is it me or is that not a lot of memory bandwidth? I gotta run whatever they're using, but I think the last time I ran AIDA64, I had like 50GB/s on quad channel DDR4-2400? Hope I'm mistaken. --edit: OK, not 50GB/s, but according to the Intel tool they've also used, I have at least 24GB/s (there's crap running in background, no idea how that influences things). Having it all drop to 8GB/s hopping across the fabric is a little sobering. quote:Measuring Peak Memory Bandwidths for the system Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jul 24, 2017 |

This may or may not matter based on your workload. I'm seeing about 40GB/s per socket for Intel quad channel on DDR4-2133.

Oooooh wait, green/yellow and grey/blue are different sockets? In that case, woohoo!

Combat Pretzel posted:Oooooh wait, green/yellow and grey/blue are different sockets? In that case, woohoo! Yea, yellow is stuff in the local memory of that die, green is other dies in that socket, blue is the "partner pair" die in the other socket, grey are the other dies in the other socket. So TR/1 socket Epyc won't have those bigger hits (only yellow and green). And theoretically, a NUMA aware OS and a good scheduler will keep stuff local to avoid the blue/grey hits.

Looking at that chart again, total memory bandwidth should be much greater than the individual memory bandwidth available to any given MCM, right? Basically each die has its own dual-channel memory controller, for 8 channels total per socket, but a single thread or core will never get as much total bandwidth as all of them working in parallel?
