They've literally only ever went up.
When more compute is available developers use it. Either to add features or to not optimize the code and just let the processor do the heavy lifting.They've literally only ever went up
It's a huge improvements on monitors as people sit much closer to them than TVs, but even on TVs it's a very nice improvement tooWhile the move from 1080p to 4k is technically just as large an increase in resolution (4x) the visual results are much less pronounced for basically two reasons
Render in 4k and upscale, done.yeah 8K is a pipe dream with little benefits under current architectures. wayyy too hungry
Getting reports about this post. I agree, it is too political for the tech forums. Can't avoid talking about tariffs, but naming politicians and discussing their policies should be done in the designated forum for such topics. Any posts that cross the line moving forward will be subject to deletion.everyones ignoring the copyright issues. At some point thats going to have to get answered, with the USA doing USA things that might be a very different answer jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
So far only shovel makers are coming out ahead in this arms race. What happens to LLM spend in a trump induced recession? Are you even in a recession if trump firers everyone who reports consumption?
We're getting into subjective territory with words like "huge" so I won't comment on your experience but for someone with perfect vision you'd need to be less than 25" from a 32" 4k screen to even have a chance of discerning individual pixels. This is best case, no anti-aliasing tech in effect, and someone that really has perfect vision. I have a 27" 4k display and am swinging my head around more than I like to so with a 32" display I'd probably be back farther to minimize head movement and then make things larger, kind of negating the larger monitor anyway. I *did* notice a significant increase in quality in moving from a 1920x1200 24" display to a 27" 4k. I would say "huge" actually. Don't know if I'd use the same adjective in moving to 8k but I haven't done it and it seems you have so you might be right.It's a huge improvements on monitors as people sit much closer to them than TVs, but even on TVs it's a very nice improvement too
Now that we have very good upscalers 8k might finally become being viable too, in a few years at least.

Problem with TVs is lack of good 4k source - even UHDs have pretty poor bitstream (100 mbits), it's better than blu-rays, but still lacking, even console gaming on TV typically requires upscaling using crappy upscalers, but for console GUI it's much nicer in my view.At typical TV viewing distances greater than 4k is a tough sell, jeez, even a lot of movie theaters are 1080p due to a lack of theaters wanting to invest in new display tech
I would put forth that the actual quality of the original uncompressed stream is as or more the issue than the compression. As I wrote above you need really solid equipment, lighting, and good camera people/directors to extract full quality from 4k recording. The compression really is only an issue with high motion, water waves, and other difficult to encode temporally "active" scenes.Problem with TVs is lack of good 4k source - even UHDs have pretty poor bitstream (100 mbits), it's better than blu-rays, but still lacking, even console gaming on TV typically requires upscaling using crappy upscalers, but for console GUI it's much nicer in my view.
Once you try proper 4k you never look back, main problem was very expensive GPUs on PC, but now things like 9070 XT are very impressive even at 4k.
CCD? Probably two.I wonder how many IOd and CCd variants are planned then.
SF 4nm IOd seems likely. But for most parts?
Thank you for saving me the typing .computing requirements will quickly reduce over time. better AI will train better AI and algorithms and techniques and so on, it's a self-feeding loop. local LLM will be GPT-4 equivalent but at the same time online i.e. GPT-5 will be far more powerful and so on.
AI companies will still run with deficit on surplus funding etc because capitalist accelerationism
Again, thank you for saving me the typingWhen more compute is available developers use it. Either to add features or to not optimize the code and just let the processor do the heavy lifting.
It's not more compute becoming available, it's more FCF being sunk down the drain.When more compute is available developers use it.
CCD? Probably two.
- Zen 6
- Zen 6C
IOD? Probably four.
- Desktop
- Server
- Medusa (Laptop)
- Medusa Halo
There’s rumors of two desktop IOD’s. A fancy new 3nm one with the Neural Engine and maybe more CU’s. Plus a cheap 6/4nm one for low-end products that’s stripped down. Not sure, we’ll see.
No cache or interconnect variants?CCD? Probably two.
- Zen 6
- Zen 6C
all of that is wrong.MLID was showing (in his Venice Leak) an IOD die that itself is a "chiplet". It supports connection to 2 CCDs and supports 4 DDR5 memory channels and ~32 PCIe Gen 6 lanes.
(I think in a later revision he said that the 2 of these IODs could be merged into one chiplet)
The big socket (Venice) will get 4 of these IODs (or 2 big ones), the Sienna successor would have 2 (or one big one).
yeah 8K is a pipe dream with little benefits under current architectures. wayyy too hungry
2.5K/4K 120hz will become the golden standard just like 720p/1080p has been for a long time
all of that is wrong.
it wasn't right back then either.Okie dokie, that video was from a year ago, even before Zen 5 release.
There's a reason why audio processing didn't go from 44 KHz in the 80s to 88 KHz and up to up to where today it is in the tens of millions of hertz.
I think that's what he is saying? It leveled off with what was discernible. But not sure.10mhz audio? I don't think that's a thing.
We will see what emerges, on the server side. AMD has been on the same technology since Rome, since 2019, and in 2026, it will be 7 years.it wasn't right back then either.
