AMD didn’t make cellular basebands and dream of getting every “big chip” on a smartphone or tablet’s bom. (Also AMD was in pretty bad shape until… 2 years ago?)

AMD has some small SBCs and such with embedded Ryzen, think mostly targeted at stuff like digital signage and gambling and stuff like that.

It’s crazy how big the gambling segment is for AMD, maybe Intel and nVidia, too. Too bad it’s all pre-rendered, the only ray traced metal gear solid content will be on a pachinko.

AMD did look at that when they bought SeaMicro like a decade ago; they jammed a bunch of small footprint cpus together on a card and then hooked like 64 of those cards together: those are atom processors

WhyteRyce posted:They used to give my old group a free, tracked CPU for working on the project but they stopped doing that because they started penny pinching and it was “hard” for our program managers to set it up. I was at a dinner with our department head and asked why we hadn’t gotten any Skylake CPUs for working on the project. He agreed and turned to a PM and told him to look in to it and I was given a death stare back. And no CPU ever was offered Aw, that's a shame. I remember the Merom ES was quite an odd duck, certainly parts that were not able to be sold through any other channel. I built systems off of 2 generations of those chips. I wouldn't expect that to be a huge cost, you know, given the 500 engineering salaries paid out over 5 years, but that rounding error's gotta go.

So much for that! Hardware has always been a lower margin business and trying to keep up with software pay is futile. (I’m an economist now :vv: )

I built systems off of 2 generations of those chips. yeah my team had access to socketed Merom parts and I was always tempted to try and build an HTPC out of them. But my team was given desktop parts for take home and no one could say whether or not we could borrow the Meroms even after we were done with them such a good waste of a HTPC opportunity

If you have a large open case with lots of airflow, go air cooler. If you have a small form factor case, go water cooler.

IIRC there have only been one or two iterations, they were low volume/pricy, and not as performant as they should have been for the price vs DIY.

Speaking of liquid cooling... In the next couple weeks I should have my first custom loop completed. SFF case (15L, iirc) but with external rad, pump, and reservoir. Will eventually feature quick disconnects for every cable and tube the external cooling system uses but that will require some pci bracket customization as well as a custom bracket for the display outputs (Meshlicious case with vertical gpu). It is inspired by my gf wanting me to bring a smaller pc (haha jokes on her!) to Quakecon and this build a friend showed me:

Josh Lyman posted:I know for a while, the Noctua DH15 performed as well as AIOs without the issues of pump noise and installation complications, but GamersNexus uses the Arctic Liquid Freezer II in their benchmarks. Are AIOs now clearly better? I would get an AIO for a 4090 gpu, but that's because an xbox is smaller than the 4090 -- by volume even. And most of that size is the cooler.

Icept posted:Launching the wrong game at the wrong time causes second degree burns what are you guys chuckling about, lol? MSI literally made a PC backpack at one point lol, it's a thing. (that's quite a URL lol) What's the trivial solution to the best headsets not having wireless? Don't use wireless. But I still want to move around my playspace? OK just carry the PC then. the vive wireless adapter is the only perfect solution to date. sadly index never got wireless at all, and vive pro 2 has to run sub-resolution (despite there seemingly being ample wigig channels available?). So one answer is, just carry the PC.

I realize this is mostly a joke post, but there are a bunch of alternatives to making wired headphones wireless, nowadays. The EarStudio is one example, but there are several competitors. And there is also the good ol' ModMic if you want a wireless mic.

The best pair of bluetooth headphones I have are a pair of Sennheiser 599s and an Ifi Go Blu. That doesn't really solve the wire thing though. Although I think Paul might have been talking about VR headsets since he references the Vive, although the Quest 2's wireless PC solutions are really good.

I've run into an issue I cannot fix and not sure whats happening. Parts: 13700k @entirely stock settings, all boosts off, all Asus enhancement off. Asus Z790-P Wifi. I have both Corsair DDR5 6200 and Crucial DDR5 5600. Tried both. 850w Corsair PSU, brand new. GTX 1080, and a 4k Cap card by Avermedia. This system is entirely stable except one thing, I cannot run latencymon with out either getting a full system lockup, where the cursor freezes and the system is stuck or getting a Clock watchdog timeout bluescreen. I've tried a billion bios things, nothing changes this behavior. Im completely boggled by this. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you ever get the lockup doing anything else or any other time? I'd try pulling the capture card and trying latencymon and seeing what that does.

My assumption if it's something latencymon didn't expect. Maybe try turning off the MB audio, wifi, etc if you really want to get past it.

Is it crashing right away? latmon does some funky stuff when it starts up, try disabling the CPU speed sanity check option. If that's it you really need to run more cpu torture tests.

My Asus Z690/12700K at stock settings would crash at the very start of the Prime95 small FFT test. It seemingly wasn’t getting enough juice as manually setting the LLC fixed it.
