What are the advantages of on chip BIOS? I get it removes some external circuitry. I imagine AMD think (if this will happen in retail chips) there are other advantages too.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Had they just gone and aped Intel's mounting hole positions, they'd probably have freed up a lot more space to bring those RAM slots in closer. I'd have thought that'd be better for higher frequency RAM's. I wonder what the memory controllers like. What kind of RAM speed do people get out of Bulldozer when they overclock it? I know it doesn't relate much to this (hopefully).

One great exciting thing about all this is if >4 threads becomes really mainstream, and games take advantage of that across the board. I still hope AMD or Intel stick a big fat cache on a chip soon, though, 5775c style. I'm interested in how Zen's memory controller copes with fast RAM speeds, to help min FPS.

Arzachel posted:The CPU performance benefit from the L4 cache was miniscule and it took up more die space than the cores themselves did, I don't think we'll see it used for anything else than boosting iGPU bandwidth. I'm happy with it being aimed at iGPU, if it's accessibly by the CPU also - as the improvement in min framerates with discrete graphics with the 5775c seemed really worthwhile. I suppose as memory controllers get faster though and provide less latency it's less of a thing. /armchair speculation HalloKitty posted:I'm pretty sure they've been doing that for a while out of pure necessity, seeing as the current gen consoles have 8-core netbook class CPUs This is a good point, I am now less excited.

Just hoping it can hit at least 4.5GHz reliably. Much less then that - meh. I really do wonder about how fast the memory controller will clock also. 6600K @ 4.4Ghz / 3600 Ram scores 2234 / 8660. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Feb 18, 2017 |

I wish I knew more about the justifications for the choices made in it, and enough about chip design to understand them and why it really didn't work out. I'm reading the poo poo out of Inside the Machine by Jon Stokes, maybe that will help. @Paul MaudDib - whoah, so with AVX a big Intel chip, overclocked, can go around 340W? Cooling them quietly must be a good challenge, holy poo poo. I wish this and the Intel threads were merged. I'm pretty sure most of us read both threads, anyway, and there is a fair bit of parallel discussion going on. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Feb 25, 2017 |

"Single thread score will be so great. According to this performance we can say that 7700K will be history, even for gaming, from now on" he said." It'll be crazy unbelievable if that statement means both are stock, or both are overclocked, in typical game engines that don't care about >4 threads. Infact, it'd be crazy unbelievable if it even matches a 7700K in either above case.

Don't know really, but 5Ghz Kaby is plenty strong at gaming and not an unrealistic clock at all, unless you totally lose the silicon lottery. Highly threaded engines hopefully love Zen, though. The multicore performance seems strong, we do know that. I totally hope it's faster, even if it dents the resale value of my chip. It just seems the claims are getting more outlandish as time goes by. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Feb 25, 2017 |
