  1. Would you buy a Steamroller/Excavator based AMD FX CPU if it existed today?

    Honestly, if AMD did make a quad module Steamroller or Excavator (obviously more Excavator than SR) FX chip, made it on an FM2+ board, with DDR4 support, with it reaching clock ranges from 4-5GHz, I feel that it would be plenty for just about anything, gaming included and if 15% more efficient...
  2. Would you buy a Steamroller/Excavator based AMD FX CPU if it existed today?

    Just curious as to just who, out there, would actually purchase an AMD CPU if they were to create an 8-core (quad module) FX series based on the Steamroller or Excavator architectures. I'm still running a Phenom II 955BE@4.0, and am in the market to upgrade and most likely going with a 4970K...
  3. FX9590 battlefield 4 beta cpu test

    I know this might be a bit of a dated thread, sorry, but it's the first result of a google search I made, so, anyway, I just wanted to state that the 9590 is not ludicrously stupid...at least not anymore. It was when it was $800+, but it's been at $329 for a while now. The same price as Intel's...
  4. Vishera FX8350 - Overclock record

    7442.83 MHz with Ln2, but they're saying standard overclockers can expect 5.0-5.5GHz...I suppose that's okay. http://wccftech.com/amd-fx-8350-overclock-7442mhz-ln2-cooling/
  5. AMD to transition to 28nm bulk in 2013 (digitimes)

    Man, this tread is 100% tl, but I did r, most of it at least. Anyway, if you haven't seen the article yet, it seems that AMD may actually end up sticking with AM3+ for Steamroller. AMD sticks with stocket AM3+ As far as DDR4 is concerned...it may never see the light of day with what Rambus...
  6. AMD Trinity to launch on October 2nd

    I think AMD's future is still up in the air. I do wish that AMD skipped this "tick" and went strait to Steamroller cores instead. 10-15% improvement when you're already 30% behind the competition isn't going to net great reviews, but it is indeed progress, which I suppose provides a glimpse of...
  7. How well does BD respond to CPU-NB OC'ing?

    Just as the title sounds, I'm wondering if Bulldozer architecture responds to CPU-NB overclocking the same way Phenom II does. It will determine whether or not I buy a new motherboard as mine cannot seem to handle anything over 2200MHz. I know that Thuban responded better to CPU-NB...
  8. Vishera spotted running at 5GHz

    I see that it was already posted, but yeah, seems like October 23rd is the release date. On top of that, I didn't see this picture before, but you can see in the background that the FX8350 can score above 9.0pts in Cinebench, which is roughly what a 2600K would score at ~4.6GHz. Not great, but...
  9. piledriver pre-order pricing

    Agreed.
  10. Intel Increases Overclocking Potential in Haswell Processors

    It did offer native PCIe3.0, ability to use love voltage DDR3, HD4000 instead of 3000, and some added security features, but otherwise I agree...nothing that would really stand out or be of much use to most of us at least at this point in time.
  11. Intel Increases Overclocking Potential in Haswell Processors

    :eek: This has to be a joke, right? -Intel made a bad decision to use TIM instead of their patented application of fluxless solder between die and IHS in an attempt to decrease coast and improve profitability. -Fluxless solder would have most definitely worked long term with IB (please link...
  12. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    Steamroler will also use a dense library, but honestly, I don't mind lower frequencies if it means much better performance. Since we're already seeing Vish hitting 5GHz stable on H20, I wouldn't care about Steamroller only hitting 4.6-4.8 if it was 30% faster.
  13. Moral Dilemma (Received Intel 3930k by mistake)

    I ordered something and it was shipped to the wrong address. After speaking to both FedEx and the company that I purchased from, unless the recipient returned it, I was going to be SOL and have to pay for another one. You could keep it and sell it and buy yourself a whole new rig, or...
  14. Vishera spotted running at 5GHz

    What IS interesting about the way the article is worded is that the chips is an AMD demonstration unit. Not some OEM or third party vendor, but 5GHz capable strait from AMD's mouth, but perhaps there is something lost in translation. I'm hoping for the best though. Keep in mind that the...
  15. Vishera spotted running at 5GHz

    G'head and prosecute me for starting a new Vish thread, I don't care, but at least at this point we have something new and interesting to discuss. Vishera spotted running at 5GHz watercooled with stock AMD watercooler. Looks like that's what I'm gonna get...
  16. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    Right, that's exactly what I said in that if I have to get a new MB, I may skip Vish altogether anyway, however, it all depends on whether or not CPU-NB OC'ing improves Vish performance the way it did with Stars. If Vish only truly see's performance improvements from frequency OC'ing alone, I'm...
  17. Is Overclocking Sandy/Ivy Bridge really worth it for me?

    2500K is a Sandy Bridge chip, which we all know overclock like dreams, all while staying nice and cool. If I had a 2500K I'd overclock it for sure, however, if I had an ivy bridge, unless I delidded it, I'd keep it stock. Ivy Bridge is rather sensitive to voltage increases in terms of...
  18. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    :biggrin: I won't deny that at all. It is indeed a lot of "if"s, but that's the whole point. HSA is taking a big chance on if they'll be able to pull this off and to be honest, with Samsung having recently joined the Foundation, things are looking rather good, at least in my opinion. A huge...
  19. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    I never nor will I ever argue whether or not Intel has IGP's built into their CPU's, so APU's are not what I was referring to as revolutionary. What will be revolutionary is HSA inspired hardware executing HSA inspired code. One of the main goals of the HSA Alliance is to create a standard...
  20. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    HSA has the potential to catch intel in that position again. On the contrary, it absolutely is revolutionary, it just needs to be taken advantage of. It will change the entire CPU industry. If HSA takes off the way AMD is hoping for, it will become the future of all CPU's, which will of...
  21. Is Overclocking Sandy/Ivy Bridge really worth it for me?

    If you personally don't notice a difference in performance (or don't care about it) and yet you are concerned about power draw, then by all means stop overclocking.
  22. What CPU for a new laptop?

    You "could" wait a month for AMD to release their new Trinity APU's which will be shipping with new laptops. They are much better in terms of power consumption than previous models and if you game at all, they are going to have a much better integrated graphics processor than previous models...
  23. Should I go for 2 or 4 cores for an all around CPU?

    As many times as it's been said, I must concur, 4 is what you want. I hope that's enough responses for you to make a decision.
  24. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    The GTX660Ti is $299, the non-Ti will be $229.
  25. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    :thumbsup: Thanks for your feedback, I have not yet read much about the "microstutter" yet, and yes, that would bother me, but as far as every review I've ready so far, 660Ti's in SLI and HD7850's in SLi both seem to perform far better than a single 7870, 670, or 680 and cost less in the...
  26. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    Thank you for the defense, you are 100% correct, I simply just wanted to discuss and "speculate" as to what the 650Ti might be like, along with anything else you may want to talk about. I did come across this fairly new article though, which may/may not shed some light on the subject...
  27. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    I came across this IBM/SOI Industry Consortium study of Bulk vs SOI with regard to FinFET's, and although this study only seems to address fabrication down to 40-50nm, it suggests, according to slide 11, that once you start getting smaller than 40nm with bulk, it seems to start losing...
  28. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    I completely agree. AMD knows they must execute and if GloFo can't get 28nm to hit it's marks, they will be in trouble. It seems that GloFo is rather confident in moving to 28nm though, but that could obviously just be their poker face. I found this article regarding this exact concern, which...
  29. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    I respect that you have you own opinion on why NV hasn't released the cards yet, but considering that both the 670 and the 660Ti are simply cut down version of GK104, you really think it's because they didn't have them? They've had GK104 for a while now, I believe it's part of their business...
  30. My 8150 Bulldozer experience - so far!

    If you're going to build a rig from scratch, even though I'm an AMD fan, I'd say stick with the 3570K, however, if you're heart is set on 8 slower cores, wait a month and get the Piledriver+ refresh aka: FX8350 instead of the FX8150. It should consume a lot less power and perform better...
  31. 660 TI, 7870 or 7950?

    Agreed, the 660Ti should have been released at the $249USD pricepoint. Maybe some extra for factory overclocked and crazy cooling solutions, but when you start the reference at $299, the factory overclocks and coolers bring it almost into 670 territory which is ridiculous. Greedy Green! They...
  32. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    Some variants of the 660Ti are poorly priced, I agree, however, if you can get a $299 660Ti to overclock well to the point where it almost performs as well as a 670, then you've gained traction in the price/performance game. I think it will continue to get better with each card they release...
  33. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    I admit that half of the reason for the creation of this thread was troll/bait inspired and so, of course trolling will ensue in such a thread, however, the other reason was truly because I did want to have a separate discussion about Vishera and what the information that AMD released at Hot...
  34. Trinity prices leaked

    I know that AMD recently announced price drops for Llano and FX CPU's, but since then prices have dropped even more. We can now find both an A8-3870K for $109.99 at the Egg as well as the FX8150 for $189.99. Obviously they want to sell of their stock before launching the replacement units, but...
  35. GTX650Ti - Discussion Thread (speculative for now)

    680------(1536/32) 670------(1344/32) one shader module disabled 660Ti-----(1344/24) one SM and one ROP Unit disabled 660(OEM)-(1152/24) two SM and one RU disabled. 660(retail)-(960/24) 3 SM and one RU less (not disabled - GK106) 650(retail)-(384/16) 5 SM and two RU less (not disabled - GK107)...
  36. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    What they did at Hot Chips is the definition of marketing. Are you serious? Or are you just adding to the troll thread? I shoulda figured.
  37. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    I didn't say that it means anything. I just said that I personally think it sucks. Why draw attention to something that sucks? AMD made that mistake once already. I wish people would stop attacking me, I'm asking for other people to give their thoughts on what they think about it, not to...
  38. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    Kudos to those who figured it out.
  39. A very fishy 7970 price at 285usd

    It won't let you add it to your cart to purchase. Too good to be true apparently? I think it was a typo and they caught it in time. Just my opinion of course.
  40. AMD marketing Steamroller before Vishera launch. Thoughts?

    You're entitled to think what you want, but I personally believe that the Piledriver cores in the initially released Trinity + cache =/= Vishera. I cannot prove this yet, but I'm hoping that in the very near future, that AMD will at least provide a detailed list of updates made to the...
