Ces 2013

[relttem]

is Xtreme doing anything for the Expo? I did a search but didn't find any news

[hecktic]

yes i want to know also.... id like to go under the XS group since i think this year they have more strict rules of who is allowed to enter the exhibit

[ZOMGVTEK]

It's safe to assume XS is doing nothing for CES this year?

You can't expect miracles. Charles had a wedding to plan and a honeymoon to take!

New info on AMD's 2013 APU products from CES

AMD provided an early look at its new 2013 accelerated processing units (APU) and announced a new OEM relationship with VIZIO. At an International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) event for press and analysts, AMD demonstrated working silicon of its first system on chip (SoC) APUs, ?Kabini? and ?Temash?, both scheduled to ship in the first half of 2013. Demonstrations included a range of leading-edge applications and games on a ?Kabini?-based ultrathin notebook and a ?Temash?-based performance tablet and hybrid notebook.

AMD also introduced the new ?Richland? APU, which is currently shipping to OEMs, which delivers a 40 percent increase in performance over the previous generation of A-Series APUs. ?Richland? is expected to come bundled with new software for consumers such as gesture and facial recognition to dramatically expand and enhance consumers? user experiences. The follow-on to ?Richland? will be the 28nm ?Kaveri? APU with revolutionary heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) features and is expected to begin shipping to customers in the second half of 2013.

Additionally, AMD announced a new series of discrete graphics processors for performance gaming that is already shipping to customers, the AMD Radeon HD 8000m series. These latest products are reflective of the company?s strategy to focus on creating differentiated IP leadership through low-power technologies that target the high-growth client markets such as ultrathin, convertible and tablets.

?With a groundbreaking new APU line-up in 2013, AMD is poised to win in high-growth consumer segments,? said Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Global Business Units. ?We are developing technologies with end users in mind ? to bring true surround computing and immersive experiences to our everyday lives. It is exciting to bring our leadership APU technologies to market including the industry?s first x86 quad-core SoC, while building on our leadership in graphics and gaming.?

Looks like Richland is indeed 28nm product.If they gained 40% perf. jump from Trinity to Richland with the same core it's only logical to assume clock jumped 40% within the similar power envelope. So much for GloFo's uber 32nm SOI node . Top Trinity mobile part :2.3Ghz 35W, top Richland mobile part 3.2Ghz? 35W?. 3.2/2.3=1.4 or 40% clock increase - lines up perfectly with what AMD said and what that x264 dev claimed 2 months ago for his Richland ES( in a nutshell : performance of 3.2Ghz quad core trinity with low 35W power spec).

Good news, yea?

[informal]

Yeah it's good but not news . We have known for a while now that Kaveri was pushed to 2014. Now we know why - no way Kaveri would bring 40% perf. jump Vs. Trinity . Higher IPC + lower maximum clock target= less impressive product. This way they bought some time to bring up the clocks of Kaveri and make it a better next gen part than it would be otherwise ( high clocked Kaveri with ~20% higher IPC would be much better option).

edit:
The perf. figure of 40% could easily be related to the new GPU core . So we still don't know what it is.

[FlanK3r]

But more relax...up to 40%, this mean from my side performance of GFlops bandwith overall system = iGPU+CPU. We know, Richland has higher default DRAM support, could have a bit higher clocks at iGPU and CPU and we have 40% in some bandwith . I think, real performance will be +5% at CPU clock per clock and about 15%-20% in iGPU.

Last I heard, there were no plans for an XtremeSystems CES event this year which is why I decided not to bother driving out to CES this time around.

That said, I could change my mind about not showing up if someone were to provide a good enough reason...

This thread is worthless without pics. Mostly of the 900d.

steam box prototype
http://www.destructoid.com/ces-don-t...--241971.phtml

it has a 2 module amd fm2 chip, 8BG of ram, and looks like it will be a nice little box. i would like to see one with room for a full size graphics card but they say they will more models.

You sure it's FM2? Sounds to me like it's a A10-4600M in there.

Asus Sabertooth 990FX gen3 (with PCIe external chip), nice board.

it could be a trinity since it says g and not d, but i am assuming that is the 13W version and the full watt one with be fm2 (or maybe somehting newer but desktop based.) they are the same chip though, the same die size, shaders, modules, cashe, so i dont think it matters. i also do not see them going with something that is not 3.2ghz on 4 threads so maybe a custom sku.

[metachronos]

Holy the 900d is massive. It's over 2' tall, do want.

Sorry for no party this year, I took a break and will plan for an OC event next year. With the end of last year ending in family health issues and then getting married I did not have the time to plan a ces event that would have been successful. This year I am visiting manufacturers and actually seeing the show floor, something I have not done in many years.

I should take some pictures of the new cool stuff.

no.... you should take pictures of boothbabes and publish them here - without telling the wife, obviously!
