The amount of mad some of the comments in that article have:quote:With people willing to pay $1000 for a single core Celeron if it comes with Intel's logo on it, I guess AMD had to make them feel a little better by adopting Intel's color. It will also be easier for the engineers to convince their clueless superiors, that the cards are Intel hardware and not AMD. "Look at the color. It is Intel's Blue".

At least the power efficiency of Polaris will actually fit one of the stronger use cases for an otherwise-overpriced brand.

5870 was such a goddamn good card. What kind of power draw does that Q9550 have at 3.8+ GHz? Edit: I ask because I've used a $45 Regor with a 5870 for years then gave it to a sibling who is still using it for web browsing today. I got lucky in the "it is an old Deneb and you can turn extra cores back on" lottery. Supposedly it still sips power. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Aug 17, 2016 |

I can't really attack using an overclocked C2Q system on the basis of power consumption / cost if the 3.8 overclock does indeed fall within that range.

Said it before I could post. Haswell is a great place to be, and progress is slowing down generation by generation. Now for AMD to price this realistically - AND beyond where Intel would simply price drop old hardware and kill Zen in the cradle.

Nintendo's next console going to the NX really doesn't help AMD, does it? Global Foundries is making their Tegras. To my knowledge, this would make Nintendo the first console corp to include an actual, honest-to-god COTS GPU in a system. That's....possibly attractive given the performance of Tegra-accelerated devices over Xbone / PS4. (I am only parroting articles citing stuff like SHIELD devices pushing easy 1080p 60FPS for the new DOOM where the Xbone can barely deliver 720p and very choppy 45-50 fps). If that actually works out and the power of their full-handheld-but-dockable-console isn't intentionally cut in the name of battery life, it would be hilarious to see Nintendo possibly force the rest of the console market forward with good hardware.

If you want a classical matter wave approach to the issue, note that the deBroglie wavelength of an electron with standard rest mass and 1eV of kinetic energy is 1.23nm.

PBCrunch posted:Couldn't a manufacturer just put smaller die chips on the outside of the wafer to minimize tiling losses? Like GTX 1080 chips in the middle and GTX 1050 chips kindof feathering the edges? Noap. The order in which you run a wafer through different machines changes based on the chip you're processing. Each step is hideously expensive, so I strongly doubt you'd want to run extra jobs just to make a little more money at the fringe of the wafer. Source: friend who used to work in a POWER fab.

Is there any reason to believe AMD will actually price 8x Haswell cores in the ballpark of something like $350? That would be awesome, but it's just as likely they'll put it in an awkward dead zone between high-end Intel -K desktop and the $1000 enthusiast xeon poo poo unless there's already MSRPs or other pricing guidance out. Is there? Would you buy a $650 or $700 Zen octocore that's under Haswell performance or just say "gently caress it" and pay the rest of the way to Intel's octocore?

If you need 1TB+ ECC RAM, aren't you doing something professionally that justifies the cost of full-ham server hardware that pushes the discussion out of the scope of desktop / SOHO computing?

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how Global Foundries isn't responsible for manufacturing fuckups and how that's on the customer's tab.

SwissArmyDruid posted:5.2 GHz on LN2. quote:In addition to the exotic LN2 cooling, the Ryzen 7 1800X needed 1.875 volts to hit 5.20 GHz. That 5.20 GHz was achieved by setting the base clock at 137.78 MHz and the multiplier at 37.75. Using these settings, the chip was even stable enough to benchmark with a score of 2,363 on Cinebench R15’s multi-threaded test. But how does it perform attached to a passive radiator in spaaaaaaace?

I clearly need to do reading on infinity fabric and not carry over performance concepts from Intel chips. AMD performance really is tied to ram frequency in a stronger way than intel's "get to this line and anything faster is just diminishing returns" ?
