That would be FANTASTIC for AMD....

....just as soon as they completely un-gently caress their APU graphics driver stack.

is it the apu driver stack or the way 3rd parties override amd on drivers?

I wondering just how big is that "I'm dirt poor but I also insist on not buying refurb/used" segment the 200GE is aimed at.
As a kid haver devoting all my spending to their toys, I consider myself in the "I'm dirt poor" segment
I'm totally fine with buying used parts, but I want AM4 and DDR4 RAM which is not very common on the used market, the 200ge would lessen the blow of a platfrom upgrade and allow me to get a better CPU later.

And the current fastest CPU I own is a Phenom II 840- a 10yr old 3.2GHz quad core. I think the 200ge might be faster?

Been trying to figure out if 2700x under full load at 69C is too hot, or acceptable. I can push it a little lower if I crank the cooling system to max.

Artificial full load via something like Prime95? Or an actual all core workload? For the former 69 is probably OK, for the later it's probably on the border of being OK.

Dude?
69c is perfectly fine. The max temp before thermal throttling is 85c. Then if it continues to heat up it just turns itself off. It’s not the old days where CPUs cook themselves.

AMD roadmap leak for next year. X570 will supposedly launch at Computex (May 28 - June 1) which I imagine they would launch with the Matisse/Zen 2 parts as a way to officially put PCIe4 on the desktop. Although maybe Zen2 could launch later if AMD needed.

I can live with that. Or rather, my wallet can. If it comes with a decent speed and IPC bump, it'll be my last CPU upgrade for a while. Zen 2 will probably bring the last worthwhile performance bump for the next few years.

The opposite, actually, TR is harvested from the top 5% of Zen dies. This leads to funny things like the 2950x having a higher max turbo than the 2700x, despite having twice as many cores. I guess they don't bin the 2700x as much as they did the 1800x, even when there's no 2800x.

Finally got around to ripping out the nvme drive and just putting my 850 Pro SATA drive in as the main drive and so far everything seems good. I'll troubleshoot the nvme drive later- or I'll just sell it.

I'm happy as hell with my 2700x so far. It's a huge step up from my 3770k that served me well for like 6 years or so.

Tick tock tock on the new process will be interesting, especially since it's a quad patterning vs. true EUV, which should be coming like H2 2019. TR 2/2+/3 is gonna be REALLY interesting from a generational improvements perspective.

Nah, the highest-end Threadripper SKUs used the absolute best dies. They've always correspondingly clocked higher out of the box than the consumer Ryzen CPUs.

I had no idea my CPU was that new, but I am genuinely surprised a dual core 3.2GHz could perform as fast or faster than my 3.2GHz quad core. Is the dual core faster at core intensive take like DVD ripping video encoding?

For just a little bit more ~30 to 40 more $ you can get a 2200G and then the comparison is comical.

Pretty sure the Phenom II X4 840 came out circa 2011-2012. Because that's most certainly when I got mine, paired with an 880GM motherboard. It transitioned to full time Plex server duty in late 2013, and I finally got around to replacing it this year with a handful of server upgrades.

It was a great budget gaming CPU option back then imo, mine lasted a good long while in my gaming PC before I jumped to Intel when Haswell was released. Looking back at my email receipts, I picked up my Phenom II X4 840 back in March of 2011 from Micro Center for $100. ~7 years later I got a Ryzen 3 2200G for $80 from the same Micro Center to replace it. It had a good run :unsmith:

Yeah, Deneb rocked. I had a three core part with the 4th core BIOS unlocked (which is hilarious that was even a thing) that was my primary from ‘09 to 2016. Def up there with the orig 486 DX for the longest run I’ve gotten out of a CPU.

E: ^^^ I prolly built 50+ systems using Socket A Dirt-rons. Great budget chia with cheap DDR mobos. The later Applebred Durons could be turned into full T-bred Athlons with a pencil, lol

calling bullshit because it's overall crazy overhype and also that 8c / 20CU is both dumb (from a market standpoint*) and improbable.

you realize that if they do zen2 with integrated GPU, it would either need to be a custom respin or put the iGPU on the I/O chip? If it is a respin I doubt it would be on their list yet. If it were on the I/O that means 14nm, so cramming a RX56½ and the zen2 chip in one package seems difficult.



*exceptions: it's related work to the chip that goes in the next consoles, or apple asked AMD to make a chip for their next imac.



edit: also, "estimated non-exotic overclock" yeah right that seems like a completely normal heading on a OEM product list
