AMD will always have lovely chipsets and building them into the processor won't change that.

If you've got two identical CPUs and one of them gets 40 degrees hotter than the other, you need to do a better job with the heatsink and thermal paste.

peepsalot posted:With the whole multiple chiplet design AMD are going with, it seems like it would make sense to put some HBM in the package to provide huge cache of high bandwidth RAM. I wonder if anything like that is in the plans for future gen chips. A little bit of HBM would be perfect for a mobile APU (or any high-performance APU but the desktop market for such a thing can just buy a real graphics card)

I wonder if Newegg counts as "at a retailer in California." My FX-8350 got fried a year and a half ago but I'll print out the receipt for it for $35

I remember old Intel 775 mobos having massive heatsink assemblies with heatpipes connecting the VRM to the northbridge to the southbridge. I know the 90nm integrated graphics northbridges back then were 25-30W and they were almost all passively cooled. So idk what AMD is thinking

Beautiful Ninja posted:Techspot has iGPU benchmarks - https://www.techspot.com/review/2003-amd-ryzen-4000/ Not bad at all. A APU that offers "good enough" 1080p gaming crosses an important threshold for a lot of people. Vega 11 wasn't quite there.

I just accept when I build a new PC that I'm going to use it for 5+ years with maybe a graphics card and RAM upgrade, and have to replace almost everything when the CPU eventually isn't fast enough or the mobo dies. Whether it's AMD or Intel inside.

There are cheap X570 boards cheaper than some B550 boards now. I'm not a fan of the... fan, but that's a more compelling option.

sean10mm posted:Real world prices are all over the place because of the 'rona, but if we're going by MSRP then like the ~$180 B550 boards look noticeably less barebones than the X570 boards. Definitely, but I've been looking closely at the specs comparing boards and it looks to me like the really well-featured B550 boards also make a lot of compromises. Compromises like using the second M.2 slot deactivates the PCIe x4 slot, the 5th and 6th SATA ports are shared with one of the x1 slots, etc. Whereas X570 boards don't do that even if they appear to have fewer bells and whistles. That sort of thing probably won't affect very many people but it's something I just don't like having to worry about. It probably helps that I don't like flashy stuff anyway.

Aside from the custom console silicon, AMD's APU graphics have always been a generation behind the discrete GPUs and I don't imagine that will change.

It's either that or lobby for PCIe 4.0 x16 NMEs if you want to avoid being humiliated any time you meet a PS5 owner. Why, so you can load a game in 10 seconds instead of 11 seconds? Who cares that much?

We didn't know anything about Zen 2 until Mama Su fed it to us straight from her beak, and it looks like Zen 3 will be the same. Those same tech bloggers with "leaks" about RDNA/Navi were also completely wrong about it, so at this point I won't trust any source on anything AMD. Zen 3 will probably be great! But I am going to wait for real reviews.

I suppose we've always maintained those... proportions? Back when consumer PCs shipped with 16-32MB of RAM and a 2GB hard drive, a big, expensive server might have had about 2GB of RAM.

I also wouldn't get A520 if the CPU you're looking at uses more then 95W TDP. But at that point you're already spending more than "modest budget" money.

ConanTheLibrarian posted:One other point: the APUs are monolithic. A chiplet-based APU would be pretty interesting since they could release models with different sized GPUs. Smaller, lower power for laptops versus larger and more capable for desktops. Otoh the benefits of a single die may be too much to pass up for anything bound for mobile form factors. There was a leak a month or two ago claiming a Vega 20 APU exists, though in retrospect I think that was probably the XBox Series S chip (if the leak was legit at all). But I wonder if AMD doesn't have something like that in the works, especially since it looks like the integrated Xe will be as good or a little better than a Vega 8.

lDDQD posted:Vega 20 is the Radeon VII / Radeon Instinct MI50 Vega 20 as a brand name, not code name, akin to the Vega 6/7/8 APU GPUs. E: Yeah it's likely the leak was someone discovering the Macbook Pro GPU existed just prior to its release. Still, I wonder if AMD has considered making a gigantic APU similar to the console processors for computer release. FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Sep 22, 2020 |

Yeah, when your budget is $45, ECS and Biostar are your options. I've used them for computers that had to be dirt cheap and they've been fine for that.

I'm interested in the 5600 and if they hike the price, I'll just get a 3600 instead. But I doubt any price increase will amount to more than ending any discounts Zen2 has, they seem to always be marked $20-25 off.

Even though I'd never use an Intel boxed cooler or wraith stealth, they're ideal for putting a thing together on the desk to make sure it works before assembling it all well. Pretty cheap of them to omit it IMO.
