I wouldn't be surprised if Zen 2 is better than the Intel chips and it will be out a lot sooner.

Do you think we'll see zen 2+ within 5-6~ months of intel 10nm?

Zen 2 on 7nm (which is similar to Intel 10nm) is coming in about a year or less, they're sampling chips at the end of this year. Intel 10nm desktop release date at this point is basically :shrug:

Serious question. Has one been using one of these new AMD systems for say 6+ months and had it be completely stable and glitch free? Talking Threadripper or Ryzens.

I've had zero problems on both my R3 1200 PCs, both running linux (one as a server and one running as a desktop PC).

Both overclocked to 3.8Ghz with stock cooling and 3200mhz RAM (though one of the boards is a low-end part and can only manage 2999).

I've had a 1600 that has been stable and no glitches that I know of. I did buy slower RAM though.

Edit: since last fall. August I think?

They're def. stable. My friend has been sharing a 1700 with his gamer son since they launched, it's been mixing audio for 10 hours a day then gaming all night. I doubt it's been powered off more then an hour since it was built last year.

Buy a Threadripper. Threaderipper Gen2 will be a powerhouse, and Threadripper gen1 is down to ~$700 for 16C/32T.
I actually want one, because cores, lanes and ECC. But the gaming side is pretty icky, with what the high inter-die latency. If I knew that the Game Mode of Windows 10 would stick everything on the same NUMA node automagically (instead of being required to boot into AMDs own Game Mode), that'd be that, but I don't.

Would you be happy with 2x7700K performance at 2x7700K TDP? Somewhere around 140W, TDP does start to be a real problem. There's a reason server cooling is so obnoxiously loud.
140W TDP isn't a problem if you have a cooler of the right size

I fixed this by doing my gaming on a Windows VM in KVM and pinning six cores to one physical CPU and running the processor in NUMA mode. ( Channel mode ). With looking Glass in full screen mode and a dedicated mouse or a steam link on the TV it works really nice.

On Windows a 1950X is completely stable, on Linux I had some issues with KVM and GPU passtrough, but after compiling a new kernel with some patches for PCIe it works really well. I've bought this CPU when it came out in Europe.

Depends on your workload, if you run some multithreaded productivity applications then you can count on AMD for incremental improvements over the next few years until they run out of Jim Keller designs steam. They’ll probably have 12C 4.5 GHz Ryzens and 24C Threadrippers out next year.
If you play a lot of games at high FPS then consider a 6C (soon 8C) Coffee Lake CPU and OC it to 5 GHz because neither Intel nor AMD look like they‘ll be able to beat that by a large margin in the next few years. I hope I‘m wrong.

8c coffee lake is interesting. Wonder if it will match pre - meltdown patch coffeelake IPC or not.

I always knew it would end like this.
Nah unlike amd Intel had a decent arch they just are hopelessly tied to their fabs

Now that their fabs are hosed due to hubris they are hosed since internet senior leadership is moronic

Modems are not on Intel fabs tho, and maybe that discrete Gpu isn't but given that Intel has always been full of its fabrication technology lead they are going to be in a lot of pain while they flail around and likely spin out their fab tech

Brian K should be fired, no CEO can preside over such a gently caress up and stay on

Jim Keller hasn't worked for Apple in years and they still make the best CPUs out there ( at their place on the PPA optimal frontier).

I still think mATX is the best form factor. Even better than ATX, since who (honestly) runs that many expansion cards?

This seems possible. The 16-core Denverton outperforms 6-core/12-thread Coffee lake in multithreaded tasks while using less power. I'd be curious about die size comparisons, but Intel doesn't release that info anymore.

With 10mm delayed does that mean we won’t see any significant boosts in mobile or laptop performance for next few years?

Aside from small incremental gains or little things like a new Bluetooth version.

Wouldn't that be on the chipset and not the cpu package? They are free to add more to their chipsets
