Funny you should mention that. We finally have a Threadripper, and it's a codename for Ryzen 9 parts that correspond to Intel -E/-X parts. Usual WCCFT caveats apply: Salt now so you're not salty later. http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-9-lineup-threadripper/ Of note: quote:The Ryzen 9 lineup, code named Threadripper, will be compatible with a modified version of the company’s SP3 socket, code named SP3r2, which was originally designed for AMD’s 32 core Naples server parts. The new high-end desktop platform is code named “Whitehaven” and brings support for quad channel DDR4 memory support and 44 PCIe lanes to hardware enthusiasts, content creators and developers. quote:The Ryzen 9 1998X is allegedly the flagship of the new lineup, featuring 16 cores, 32 threads, a base clock speed of 3.5GHz and a boost clock speed of 3.9GHz with XFR ( Extended Frequency Range ). Amazingly, this CPU is only rated at 155W, 5 watts less than Intel’s upcoming Core i9-7920X 12 core flagship Skylake X CPU. I can't be the only one who immediately thought "K6!" as soon as I saw that 1998 number, right? quote:AMD’s new Ryzen 9 lineup and Whitehaven platform will reportedly be showcased at Computex (May 30th – June 2nd). According to sources in the upstream supply chain, the new high-end desktop offerings will launch alongside AMD’s 32 core Naples processors in June. Did I say I was waiting for the May AGESA memory compatibility update before I bought in? Never mind, I have much better silicon to be looking at.

Munkeymon posted:Hell yeah party like it's nineteen ninety, uh, eight again because I'm actually thinking about making an AMD system This month's AGESA updates which they are pushing out to motherboard partners is adding up to 20 memory registers, in order to aid compatibility with XMP to allow kits with higher clocks to be used. At last check, as the Infinity Fabric interconnect between cores appears to improve significantly with increased memory bandwidth, the higher frequencies of DDR4 are desirable. (Diminishing returns kicks in past 3000, but this should help more kits hit that number.)

Since Poe's Law clearly states that without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views, I must therefore assume the worst: AMD are systematically using quantum tunnelling to siphon off a small percentage of performance from every chip they have created and will create to power their time machine, wherein they have gone back and hired my pimply-faced fifteen-year-old self, or some other individual in that massive sea of teenaged gamers during the 90s and 00s that thought things named "EPYC" and "RYZEN" *were* cool because of the name, instead of the actual underlying silicon. Or it could just be that those people grew up but never stopped thinking that poo poo was cool and oh my god please STOP. I swear, if the next product has leet speak for a name, I am done, we're going to In-Vidia and never looking back.

AFAIK, Samsung B-die is still the thing to get. which means G.Skill and some Corsair. (Not all G.Skill are Samsung, though. Venn diagrams and all that, but there's a lot less of it in Corsair's product stack.) But the new AGESA update might change that. More details on that Linux kernel compile test, c/o TR: quote:To illustrate the point, AMD offered a demonstration of a 2S Epyc system going against two high-end Xeon E5-2699A v4 CPUs, each with 22 cores and 55 MB of cache. AMD's machine had 256 GB of RAM thanks to its eight channels, while the Intel-powered server was rolling with 128 GB. The Epyc box finished a Linux kernel compilation in 15.7 seconds, around 43% faster than the 22.5 seconds it took the Intel system. So, it's the memory bandwidth that was giving it the extra oomph needed, right? quote:
Not the same top-flight Xeon as before. Even if they DID have a logical justification for running the test, they probably did their benchmark and just kept downgrading the Intel chip until they got one where the one Epyc chip beat two Xeons, and then back-justified it. =P Either way, compelling, and cause for optimism. http://techreport.com/news/31927/amd-throws-some-epyc-shade-on-xeon-powered-servers SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 19:30 on May 17, 2017 |

I actually believe that 1080p60 should be the absolute minimum, and that's where I base my scaling from. Consoles have been trying to promise 1080p for god knows how long now, and they're still continuing to fail at it. They need to get with the times, they're holding everyone back.

I don't even understand this half-step generation bullshit. There was literally no reason to do any of it, the stupid console makers heard "VR" and their goddamn genitals overrode their good sense and decided they needed to half-step so they could force VR where it wasn't a good fit. The REAL thing to do would be to clean sheet both consoles and start with a Raven Ridge part, assuming that Raja hasn't been talking out his rear end for the past year+, and whatever GPU silicon they're working on now can actually hold up their end of the bargain. But I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 10:09 on May 21, 2017 |

Combat Pretzel posted:Interesting. If the frequencies shown there is what the CPU ran at, instead of nominal while they were actually turboing, bumping the Whitehaven to 4GHz would mean near perfect linear scaling. Which seems doubtful, unless they've improved the interconnect speeds. Which means that the 8C's handicap makes the difference for the scaling to appear linear. One mainstream problem, and one fringe problem: The mainstream: Memory timings continue to be an issue. Because of how the chip architecture is, Ryzen responds very well to higher-clocked RAM. However, as time as gone on, AMD has released firmware updates to the motherboard manufacturers that have improved them over time. There is a major AGESA update expected by the end of this month that will greatly improve memory compatibility. For best results, though, you are generally still looking at memory that uses Samsung B-die, and only two of the largest sticks that you can find. The fringe: IOMMU groupings are not set up correctly for GPU passthrough to VMs. This is correctable with an ACS patch for Linux. Here's hoping it's correctable by software or firmware and doesn't require a hardware fix. If none of that made any sense to you, don't worry about it. =P But this may be how AMD does their market differentiation between the mainstream and HEDT parts, we just don't know yet. But having that 1800X 8C/16T part got people excited about having a machine well-suited to this application, even if the actual number of available PCIe lanes was just barely enough to allow this. I, for one, am hoping to move to Linux full-time, with a Windows VM running on top of it to service those last few things that need Windows and I don't have a choice for.

Epic suck. Well, AMD are under super-hyper-mega-ultra-crunch time to get ready for Computex. On a scale of increasing amounts of suckitude, here's hoping: * Their priorities are being consumed by having to get the new poo poo ready for when Computex begins on the 30th of May * they can figure out what's wrong * they don't have to hardware rev to fix things * that these issues stem from how AMD intends to segment between mainstream and HEDT.

If it ain't Raven Ridge, I literally do not loving care. Furthermore, Dell seems to have hit the price/performance apex with the Dell 7000 Gaming this year. For $1000 USD, I get a Kaby Lake i5 + 1050Ti + 1080p IPS display and that will last until the next console hardware generation. Whatever Asus is showing, it needs to be at least that performance level on a APU, and it needs to be interesting, or cheaper, or whatever.

Been thinking about what I said, and I think that in the end, i5 + 1050 ti in a Raven Ridge APU is way too high a bar. Maybe with Zen2 + Navi, but right now, no. I still maintain that the Dell 7000 Gaming series is _the_ place to be as far as a gaming laptop is concerned, with that perfect intersection of size, power, screen, and battery life, where if you bumped any one of the component parts any larger, the rest of the system would hold it back? And I do not think that AMD can hit that with a single chip. The best that AMD can do with Raven Ridge, I think, is if you were to plot the above system on a radar chart, and then an AMD APU-based system plotted on top of it, the APU-based system should occupy the same profile, but proportionally smaller, and commensurately cheaper, down around the $750-$800 retail mark.
