So what can goons tell me about the amd A8-7410 because the internet tells me next to nothing.

the other option I could afford was a i3-4030u for 20 bucks more with 4gigs of ram compared to the 8 i have now.

This is mainly a question about the hardware itself since I've been an intel guy for so long and want to know more about what I have on hand.

Twerk from Home posted:i3 with half the RAM was likely a better bet, unfortunately. Overall build quality with the rest of the laptop matters much more, though. my desktop not too long was strangled by 4 gigs of ram, and the i3-4030u looking it up because info all things intel is easy, the cpu is super poo poo.

FuturePastNow posted:I just avoid water cooling out of a residual fear that it'll spring a leak, or that the pump is more failure-prone than a simple fan. Maybe neither of those is true anymore, but I keep doing what I'm comfortable with. All in ones are pretty safe now a days but pumps can be a but nosy and might want to get your own fans to be even more silent.

We know ibm group may have found a way to 7nm and intel is the only one working on 10nm? http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/07/ibm-unveils-industrys-first-7nm-chip-moving-beyond-silicon/ and honestly I see us stuck at 7nm for a very very very long time.

Everything we have seen so far would suggest broadwell ipc or close to it, now if amd could only do this for their gpu half.

Happy_Misanthrope posted:It at least makes AMD not a brain-dead choice for system builders, but yeah - many of those game benchmarks are a little concerning. It's not so much that the 7700k is beating it so soundly in some games, it's that the $65 G4560 is so close in many games as well - I'm far more interested in the 6 and 4-core variants coming later, and this doesn't really bold well for their value proposition in at least gaming terms atm. I'm sure their longevity prospects are far better than a 2c/4t cpu (probably?), but when we're talking CPU's in the $100 range I don't think most expect ~4 years of use regardless. Is there a cities skyline benchmark with zen because I do remember cities to be a cpu heavy game more them a gpu heavy game in some benchmarks.

Palladium posted:How is this excusable? AMD has been broke as poo poo for a while and didn't have the resources. But if you look at the 480 at launch and where it is today you will see improvements because guess what amd doesn't just release a product and move on. The 480's directx 11 performs has improved a bunch since release and equals a 1060. These are first generation teething issues because guess what amd hasn't really released a new chip in 5 years they forgot how to do it. Look at first gen i7s the 860 and 920 vs 2500k, the first gen i7s where good but the refreshes where better and you can see zen doing the same. Also SMT seems to just be just stupid broken so benchmarks seem off?

Measly Twerp posted:Our favourite Scot talks about the Ryzen launch: Watched the video and the most interesting thing I seen was zen in consoles. That is an amazing idea because the perf per watt and how little watts zen takes to get some great perf is amazing considering what cpus are currently in consoles I would like to see zen+ in consoles even is I never buy a consoles because pc games will benefit from the lowest power segment getting some great hardware.

But hey if that will get you by till zen+ or whatever intel can improve on cool beans.

Junior Jr. posted:If those 1800X benchmarks are that good on a 1080 Ti, I'm having even less hope for Vega. If they're really going to stay competitive at this point, they have to be at least on par with Pascal (especially with 1800X) and not be 10 or so frames behind. Vega is probably another mid tier gpu but hopefully with zen money amd can throw money at navi.

sauer kraut posted:If Zen has such severe penalties for crossing clusters, maybe AMD should have set it up as a dual CPU instead of blabbing about infinity fabrics. Numa isn't the answer because numa looks at two different memory controllers for two differant cpus. Zen only has one memory controller. So what might need to happen is a new scheduler just for this new type of architecture.

eames posted:Is there a reasonable explanation for the 2+2 CCX quad configuration beyond "two half defective dies are much cheaper than one fully functional one"? I can't believe they did this. They built a bunch of 4x4 ccx and 1 or more cores failed so they pushed out the 2x2 to recoup losses and amd thought the ccx wouldn't be an issue.

HalloKitty posted:I think the Ryzen 5 6-cores with the high clocks out of the box (1600X, for example) are going to be much better value. When they refine the process more and get higher clocks out of these things, they're going to be good for every purpose. From what we know the r5 isn't a better process just r7 with cores disabled.
