Watermelon Daiquiri posted:isnt amd doing an entirely different chipset for itx? Kind of. AMD announce five different chipsets for AM4 of which two, the X300 and the A200, were for SFF PCs. So far I believe we've only seen boards based on X370 and B350. Drakhoran fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 16, 2017 |

More specifically, Ryzen processors that ends with an X reports temperatures that are 20 degrees hotter than they actually are. It presumably has something to do with the eXtended Frequency Range thingy they have, but I don't think AMD has given any details. Level1 techs made a video where they theorized about it if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoE1s0pqjv0

Paul MaudDib posted:No, actually that says that 2% more of the Passmark runs were done on AMD systems. Which isn't quite the same thing, especially when Ryzen has performance problems that need a lot of tweaking to tune up properly. They don't even dedupe down to actual unique users, it's literally "runs of the software". Run it five times, you go in 5 times. In that case, bad news for AMD:

Depends on how far you want to overclock it. Kyle at Bitwit got his 1700 to 4 GHz with a Noctua cooler, but only to 3.9 GHz with the Spire.

Methylethylaldehyde posted:I'm just waiting for the APUs to have 16 or 32GB of HBM2 memory onboard and smoke the crap out of most of the discrete GPU systems out there. You can save a ton of cash by having everything on a system board the size of a postcard, and parley that into a thinner lighter product, or a product that's like 60% battery by volume. According to Fuad Abazovic, one 4GB stack of HBM2 memory costs $80. 16GB ($320) on a laptop CPU is not going to happen until prices come down.

One week miners will be buying up every card making them hard to get for actual gamers, next week they sell all their used cards on eBay bringing retail prices crashing down. In unrelated news. Here is a picture of two Asrock X399 boards. Looks like the official name for the Threadripper socket will be TR4.

The main difference I can see is that the Fatal1ty board has a 10Gb ethernet port in addition to the two gigabit ports of the Taichi. When it comes to sound, the Taichi claims to support " Purity Sound™ 4" while the Fatal1ty instead supports "Creative Sound Blaster™ Cinema 3". Whatever that means.

So if anyone here bought a 32 core Threadripper and will at least occasionally use it for gaming, you really should update your drivers.  Benchmarks with new Vs. old drivers here.

Adored has apparently heard some of the same rumors as Charlie Demerjian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4xctJOa6bQ He now sounds confident that Rome will have eight 8 core CCXs around a central controller chip for 64 cores per CPU. He also said something about Rome servers having a single NUMA domain per socket which I guess would mean the memory controller is moved from the CCX to the central chip. Is that feasible?

According to the press release the Norwegian computer will have a footprint of only 14.78 m2:quote:The system comprises of 1344 compute nodes each equipped with 2 x 64core, next-generation AMD EPYC™ processors, code name ‘Rome’, for a total of 172032 cores installed on a total footprint of only 14.78m2. The total compute power will be close to 6Pflops. The stats I find for the German computer doesn't directly mention the footprint but 7712 nodes in 41 cabinets probably takes up more space than that.

surf rock posted:They're super close in price, so I would be happy to go with the latter, but the latter just visually seems huge to me? I won't have an open case so I don't care about the visual element of it, but I'm not sure how to figure out just on a literal level whether or not it would fit in my planned case (Nanoxia Deep Silence 3 ATX Mid Tower). According to the spec sheet the Deep Silence 3 can handle coolers up to 165 mm tall. The Dark Rock PRO 4 claims to be only 162.8 mm.

Boards with the X570 chipset are only required if you need PCIe 4. If you don't, there's nothing stopping you from using a $115 B450 board.
