Yeah, that is very obvious.



Not sure what these things have to do with each other. You can have great end-user experience and high software quality in a closed ecosystem and you can have total crap in an open ecosystem. Besides, which “open” ecosystem are you talking about? Most of the stuff out there is controlled by a handful of big corporations.

If people keep bringing up Apple M? CPU performance, it means nothing to us if the stuff we want to run is in M$ / Linux / x86 land?

M? is moot in DIY PC land because it is proprietary.

God tier hardware means nothing if it cannot run the software an end user wants to run.

That is a fair remark, albeit a bit removed from discussing CPU architectures and developments among enthusiasts. I equally have no interest in the x86 ecosystem, Windows-based hardware, or RISC-V, but I still like learning about what is happening in the tech market because I am curious about these things. Your needs and mileage obviously might vary. This is a big world, and there is enough space for different takes and approaches.

Another topic you seem to be touching is disrupting conversations by mentioning competing products. I agree that this is distasteful. I am obviously an Apple fanboy, and I wouldn't consider dissing people in an x86-focused discussion. I am only bringing up M-series if I see posters mentioning up in a context I consider to be incorrect. There are a lot of misconceptions out there (this pertains to both x86 and non-x86 hardware), and I don't like misconceptions.

What is the highest speed listed on the specs page for that mobo?
8000 mt/s for both 16gbit a-die and 24 gbit m-die. The thing is that the current IO die (or its firmware / w.e.) does not support mem multipliers above 80x, so even if your board and CPU can in theory do higher speeds, you'd not be able to do that unless you do bclk OC (which stops at 102.5-102.9 mhz if you own an nvidia gpu)

I'd like to see two separate threads, one for the server+desktop CPUs, and the other for mobile oriented products. It's just become too confusing when people starts to mix in various Apple or whatever, because of too much difference between these two main product segments, either by architecture or by final product operation.

x86 itself is proprietary. I don’t see Intel open sourcing the ISA when they seem to open source everything else they do.
God tier hardware means nothing if it cannot run the software an end user wants to run.
depends on what software. The only thing a Mac can’t is game due to lack of game support. That’s the only major thing.
Also you can run Linux bare metal on M chips. In fact, Vulkan will be supported soon due to some awesome people.

The Mac’s aren’t locked down to only macOS.

This isn’t a DIY PC thread but a Zen 5 speculation thread. AMD themselves also compare with M chips. As far I’m aware, that’s exactly what they did with Strix Point and not for NPU BS but for actual CPU performance.

At this point they don't actually have the legal power to open source the entire ISA as the foundation of x64 is AMD64, and that will perpetually mean that both Intel and AMD are co owners of the ISA.

I think if AMD were ever bought out/acquired then Intel would have no choice but to allow the new owners the rest of the license or risk losing access to the vital x64 elements.

There's a good chance the new mobos may raise it to 8800 MT/s to improve their JEDEC DDR5 standard compliance.
I suggest rereading what I've wrote - unless IO die or something that controls its registers has changed, even if your board can support 10000 mt/s, you'd still be stuck at 8000 mt/s or its whereabouts because the CPU cannot clock memory above 8000 mt/s without FSB overclock (which causes various problems with GPUs and can literally kill SSDs / HDDs)

[cross-platform IPC comparisons wandering off-topic to the utility of x86 compatibility:]

If lots of domain specific business software isn't a major thing, then yes.
Also you can run Linux bare metal on M chips.
Last time I checked this was a completely reverse-engineered experimental effort.

No? Who told you that? If IO die hasn't changed, you won't see anything better than 8000 mt/s memory and 2200 ish IF (and i'm already using 7800 / 2166 on a 2dpc board)
There are, small improvements (respin??). I believe AMD said 'better' support for high speeds. I take that to mean better compatibility with high speed DRAM modules. We will see.

I'd be shocked. AMD would lose out on a 'refresh' opportunity to rekindle press and review pieces on Zen5 a bit further down the line.

big if true

sadly the mobile version 7945HX3D is still restricted to a single outdated laptop model (asus strix 17)

they should really ship 9955HX3D to many more oems

why amd keep making blunders??

X3D happens to be very power efficient.
In a very specific set of applications. Meanwhile, it also enhances throughput a lot in a very specific set of HPC server niche applications. Now the (not so hard) question is into which segment(s) to ship those V-cache equipped dies, and Make Money Fast doing so.

Strange. I didn't hear any 9000X3D being under mass production. Let's see what will happen. 9000 entered mass production almost half a year earlier than computex show.

Arrow Lake would have to be very special. Qualcomm?? Too small in PC space to matter right now.

There s no real competition technicaly speaking for Strix Point 12C, assuming the slide displayed at Computex was at 54W TDP and using Cinebench as a metric :

At 28W it would be on par with the Elite X that use more power for this score.

At 15-17W it would be on par with the M3 that get higher than this power
for this score.

As for Intel it wouldnt even be worth mentioning since at 35W it would be
on par with a 185H at 120W.

Isn't 9000X3D (announcement?) going to be the response to Intel if they take over "fastest gaming CPU" ?

I mean, we know it is going to be released anyway...

What I mean is that Qualcomm doesn't ship enough units to really matter. Same with Mac laptops (well, they matter a bit). It's really Intel vs AMD for corp market and enthusiast (again small) market.

The OEM has to choose the chips, you know. You say restricted, as if it's nefarious or idiocy. OEMs have to be up for buying and building them

Zen 4 V-cache is 5 months later than Zen 4 original. If there should have been any 'response' to Intel then Zen4 V-cache should be 2022 thing.
AMD could only do what they can do, nothing could be done in a hurry.

If you mentioned Intel, I just feel strange I haven't seen any arrowlake QS in the wild, on the contrary lunarlake QS was already out few months ago.
