isnt amd doing an entirely different chipset for itx? I'd imagine that would introduce some complications even if isn't that much of a difference and just 'less ram' and 'only one pcie slot'

Wait, ryzen's 4/4 structure is not internal to the chip, but rather from 2 4 core dies? No loving wonder

No, that was a poor use of words on my choice. I meant to convey that a dot over each of the two smaller rectangles might be better than one larger dot in the center. I absolutely should not have used to word "die" in my post and apologize, and have fixed the post.

No, it wasn't your words, I was confused from the line in the middle-- i thought it was from two dies rather than the 2 patches of solder the top two posts said

Google says $490. That seems like a good price for that CPU and mobo and here I thought everything electronic was usually lots more expensive in the EU. Does it not include VAT in that price?

There seems to be some sort of commercialization of it already for solar cells of all things. Or maybe they're using something a bit different here, it was several years ago now I saw something about this and haven't heard much since, here is a paper on it but its way over my head:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260829824_Triple-Junction_Quantum-Well_Solar_Cells_In_Commercial_Production

yeah that metal fuckery is par for the course for photo-diodes. You need all of those energy levels to get the precise voltage/current/wavelength, though its not like LEDs need very fine features. However all of those different metals are expensive, especially when you have to make sure it etches away anisotropically through every layer so you can get that buried gate, form the very small features, etc

*sync over SiHS is something that I need to investigate. Straight up getting measurements is hard enough on a standard system. There are a few things I need to figure out, but I'm not sure how to do it (output stream from server, output stream from Link, server client latency, etc).

I'm super *duper* curious to see if there's a way to get a crazy cheap Freesync APU powered device hooked up to my TV as the client box for that. My TV has Freesync, so maybe it'll send Freesync all the way through. Probably not, though.

The SiHS thing is also more for putting games on my TV, I think there's a software that'll let you just move your mouse between desktop and laptop as a kind of extended screen, so maybe that'll be fun to play with.

Maybe a sufficiently low latency desktop instance could do it? Can you pass adaptive sync through virtualized video output? That would be crazy but also nice.

Or just crazy over buy and peg your frame rate limit where you want like I'm doing for older games?

E: I'm glad you understand the laptop thing. Sturdiness is so good.

gsync on the host or client machine? I've streamed from my pc which has gsync running, and it did fine.

AFAIK all of the existing discrete Thunderbolt controllers still need an Intel PCH in order to function. That's why PCI-E TB3 cards require this extra cable that hooks up to a proprietary header on the motherboard:



Whether this connection serves an actual purpose or is just there to lock out AMD and older Intel platforms is anyone's guess though.

with those 5 WIRE connectors, there is no way that's anything more than some dumb spi connection, which i can only surmise is a way to go 'Oh btw are you an intel thing?" or to change over pcie lanes on the fly which is dumb since theres no reason why that cant be a part of the handshaking for the card (unless theres no way of piggybacking that over the pcie connection???)

r/AMD is hosed in the head because Steve only ever poo poo on the 1700X and 1800X for being overpriced relative to the 1700, and was iffy on the 1700 from a pure gaming standpoint as the 7700K performs better for a similar enough price. Oh and he rightly pans AMD for Vega. Otherwise I've never seen him explicitly down on AMD and instead has been supportive of basically the 1700 and down, and even Polaris as budget options.

I suppose tho I could totally be wrong and they're churning out tons of chips and relatively few TR packages.

On the substrate, I wonder if they're even connected at all to the PCB or just pads on there.
Cos if the wiring is hooked up it'd be another vector for package faults.

14nm success rate for something that's not on a cheaper, fewer mask, process is ~75%. That includes ALL dies which pass, whether its bin 1 or one that fails one thing like voltage, but not so egregiously that it would take 150W to hit 3.8ghz or whatever. For zen, the dies are 213mm2, which means there are approx. 300 dies on a wafer: 225 that pass, 75 that outright fail. I think there's more than enough dead dies for threadripper ;) Hell, even if they got things going amazingly up to an 85% yield (the highest i've personally seen for a 14nm product was 86-88% for a 'budget' arm soc), there'd still be enough for like 20 tr processors per wafer

nodes are marketing names at this point this is very likely "10nm" FEOL with "14nm" BEOL or somesuch like tsmc 16nm used older BEOL tech

Heck intel is basically hosed with 10nm, 14+++ is gonna be better than 10 for everything but extreme density/power needs (apparently SemiAccurate has the scoop on whats wrong but i am not spending 1k on that)

And I was just about to make this point lol. It's almost certainly that either they decided the process improvements were advanced enough for 14+++++++++ or whatever to merit a new marketing name, they decided to implement triple/quad patterning for FE and kept double for BE 1/2, or both.
