It's 9 30 PM on a Sunday for me, which tbh is very reasonable... except for that fact that I also have a physics 2 test like 2 days after.....5:30 AM for me. I might get late for office. Dang it. Couldn't they pick a time neutral for the majority of timezones in the world???
Though if it were during office hours...
Disappointing. Couldn't they have worked just a bit harder for JEDEC DDR5-6400 1.1V?1. Support for DDR5-5600 JEDEC (up from DDR5-5200)
I would rather see AMD doing well in regions where Amiga computers did well back in 80s and 90s.AMD won the German DIY market over by building a fab in Dresden 25 years ago when that was still considered cool. There has been pro-AMD purchasing behavior ever since. But they don't make anything in Germany anymore and that fab is GloFo now.
I've asked a person who knows Chinese what is said there and it seems that this phrase is generic, not really related to some new arch / CPU. I guess it might refer to the fact that FCLK is set to 2400 by default for Zen4 APUs and 2000 for chiplet-based Zen4 CPUs7. FCLK now goes up to 2400MHz (up form 2000MHz on Raphael).
There is also different views on what a PC is in different countries. I've noticed that people in poorer parts of the world (former CIS, India, South America, Eastern Europe etc) strongly (almost pathologically) prefer the 'winner / leader' brands like Intel or nVidia even if price / performance ratio is heavily disfavouring such SKUs. I personally know several people who bought 3050 instead of 6600 "because it's nVidia" and "its future resale value is higher" (lots of people sell their old HW to buy newer one, some even do that well in advance of new generation releases - one guy just sold his 4090 to buy 5090 at release)But 98% of sales is driven by other metrics, like performance, efficiency and TCO (platform longevity).
zomg you are a noobDo FP and SIMD use the same physical units in a CPU core?
IIRC RDNA 3 already had both of those, couldn't they just have put 2 RDNA 3.5 CUs into the chips?Uh, DP 2.1? uhbr20? Either AMD was holding out on us or we are getting a new IO die.
So FP performance is tied to SIMD performance.yes , and some people are even adventurous enough to do scalar int ops on the FPU ( hand rolled code )
Disappointing. Couldn't they have worked just a bit harder for JEDEC DDR5-6400 1.1V?
depends,So FP performance is tied to SIMD performance.
That can be due to improvement in packaging and validation of new memory support, in any case. Ofc a new I/O die would open other improvements as well, but so far there are no evidences in support of that.Well we have faster memory, new DP/uhbr features, and some other things.
It's probably still on TSMC 6 cause why change, but otherwise yeah, I'd say it's a new or rather slightly upgraded I/O die.
Zen 5 will sell like crazy. I say this as an Apple M sheep. Any hardware nerd will go nuts over it.What will be funny as hell is when Zen 5 is priced like a premium Intel KS SKU and it still sells like crazy.
Its not 100% true, like everything in the world, its much more grey.You are being sarcastic, but that is 100% true. If it weren’t, The term AI wouldn’t be screamed from the rooftops. Hint: The actual market for AI is smaller than an AAA game. No joke. Some companies are toying with it, but it solves nothing, might (read: does, according to current ongoing legal cases) violate copyright, and gets a ton of stuff wrong (ask Google how many rocks you should eat per day if you disagree, hopefully they patched that one LOL)
And with OC ~2500-2600mhz FCLK just like the 8000 series APU ?I've asked a person who knows Chinese what is said there and it seems that this phrase is generic, not really related to some new arch / CPU. I guess it might refer to the fact that FCLK is set to 2400 by default for Zen4 APUs and 2000 for chiplet-based Zen4 CPUs
Optimal FCLK is the highest you can get, unless you have a board and CPU capable of running RAM at 8000 MT/s and if you don't care about bandwidth and only care about latency ()then you go for 2000 to lower latency by ~3-5 ns). And I guess it's not always true in this case. Currently I've been running 7800 / 2166 for several months, it's extra +17% calc speed in my sparse matrix multiplication app as compared to 6400/2166 (which is 2x faster than my previous setup of 5900x + 3733 CL14 ballistix 4x8 set).So if FCLK is 2000 then we are looking at DDR5 6000 being the optimal 1:1 speed? As I said I have not paid alot of attention here over the past few years so forgive my noob questions.
