Motherboard compatibility in case anyone was interesting. Nice that AMD isn't forcing you to change boards every single...

Gotta remember games are 4 threads at most usually; I'll take a 30% improvement in cache in those cases (as compared to 12 Mb on 9700k). Yes, latency is slower than Intel. But in general the cost of...

There's a massive amount of L3 cache on these chips. I would wait to see how the overclocking tests look - there's a good chance the gaming performance will be very competitive.

Lol I'm still running on Sandybridge with R9 280 card. Perhaps it's partially because I don't game much anymore, but honestly I just don't need the horsepower for the things I do (and think this is...

General consensus seems to be why?

I get they have an improved process, but this card just doesn't seem to fill any needs. GTX 1060 seems to be better value in general, and that's not even...

I don't see any evidence that they were running identical systems here. As far as we know part of the performance increase could be due to the improved manufacturing process increasing clocks....

There's absolutely no way Zen 2 has a 29% increase across the board. I'll buy big increases in specific areas, especially AVX, but the architecture is just an evolution. It'd be content with a 10%...

Honestly, I think the Archer dub is better than the original song :p:

So I agree with you that the brand of what they buy is kinda irrelevant, but I definitely care about which part they give me lol. Like the difference between an i5 and i7 alone can be massive when...

Only if you bring the dance moves :p:

Btw, has anyone else seen the Arby's commercials with H. John Benjamin? I love that it's basically Archer...

Jesus. I like the looks of some, but those prices are out of wack. Especially considering the Enthoo Elite is largely the same case of the Primo, which is $300 lol.

I think this sounds more reasonable. Intel always invested money in manufacturing because it's guaranteed return. Improved yield and smaller process = more margin per chip sold.

Very interesting. Intel had the best chip manufacturing process in the world for at least a good decade. Makes you wonder how they fell so far behind.

Hopefully this means they integrated AVX512. Otherwise I can see tweaking the memory fetch and cache structure could yield sizable gains in certain areas.

Will this update be available for all Ryzen or just ThreadRipper? My understanding from the article is this will be released to the ThreadRipper software suite first.

Really cool. I always wondered how much AMD could improve gaming performance by just reducing the memory calls between CCX modules, and here's your answer!

Maybe Nvidia knows something we don't, but Ryzen was not a surprise. We knew a lot about it a good year in advance and AMD did several previews of it's performance (like the blender test) to get...

Technically speaking, we don't have any evidence that AMD cares more about their customers. We just know they have a competitive business plan for CPUs.

At the end of the day, corporations are...

One other caveat is that these cards support Tensor capabilities. Previously the only benefit the Titan cards had was the enhanced GPGPU capability (often slower than Ti in gaming). If all the...

Exactly, Nvidia has no reason to price things reasonably at the top end. Until AMD delivers a Vega that can keep up for like $500, the top end NV cards are only going to keep creeping up.


...

This has been the case for a few generations now. Basically until AMD pulls a GPU Ryzen, we can't expect any sort of fair pricing.

Actually that's not true, automotive qualification does require both ASIL qualification and validation of passing thermal stress tests. It's not just rebranded hardware.

In either case, it doesn't...

Probably, I just don't see how automotive could be the top driver of anything when it takes years to gain the hardware certification.

I think there's a lot of overreaction and hedge funds making money of short selling going on. I don't think ordinary investors actually have the capital to make these types of movements. Long term,...

Automotive?

I don't think that writer knows what they're talking about. It's extremely difficult to get hardware automotive qualified, even if you wanted it for autonomous purposes there's no way...
