    AMD Ryzen 3000 - not so disruptive?

    Perhaps. But I would think that it is a better strategy to burn 2x 4-core chiplets than use a full-fat 8 core. The assumption here is that they have enough half-baked chiplets sitting around, which may not be the case. Either way, I think there are definitely a lot more models to be announced.

    AMD Ryzen 3000 - not so disruptive?

    This is an interesting release. The R9 3900X, to me, is just 2x R5's stuck together, minus the pci-e lanes. Since this is their release day flagship model, it is a little surprising to me that it is comprised of 2 mid-ranged chiplets. This makes me wonder why their R7 lineup is not 4+4, but is...

    AMD giveaway thread, 14+ 8GB 480 cards on Wed, the 29th, Starting at 11am EST & more!

    This sentence stood out to me. Does this mean that 8GB is not going to be available for the 480 in the initial release? I haven't kept up with the main thread.

    3 Monitors AMD Eyefinity not working w/ DisplayPort!

    Good luck. I have a 1 card, 3 monitor, eyefinity setup via 1*DP and 2*DVI connectors. I had planned to do it this way so I made sure to get only monitors that had DP. Your situation is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

    Nvidia's Pascal in 2016... any guesses on pricing?

    Both company's driver patch notes indicate performance increases in games. By that definition, no one has "maximum performance" at release. You'd be foolish to think that no improvements can be made after release.

    What things can Intel, AMD, Nvidia and Microsoft do to make PC desktop better?

    Go read about what MS has done recently. I don't think their multi-billion dollar writedown of Nokia section and their personnel cuts from mobile is bringing confidence to that department. You want better environment, it is up to the other software developers, not just the HW providers.

    Is the Phenom II X6 1045t still good?

    You answered your own question. Better APIs coming out makes older chips ever more relevant. Upgrade when it is no longer giving you solid performance.

    [Rumor (Various)] AMD R7/9 3xx / Fiji / Fury

    My old TV had 1 or 2 HDMI, 1 DVI, and the old analogue ports. My current monitors have DP, DVI, and VGA. . I'm sure DVI has many advantages and I'm not arguing against DVI. But to buy a monitor with only 1 input port and expect future hardware releases to be compatible can only end badly, as you...

    I have a 7850 and game on 3600x1200 triple monitor eyefinity setup. Civ5 runs a little slow and I definitely notice the fan going. But in the end, it is not the graphics that make the game enjoyable. My standards for acceptable gameplay is low with respect to the population on this forum. I'd...

    [BitsAndChips]390X ready for launch - AMD ironing out drivers - Computex launch

    Holy cow some of you guys are attached to the idea of 8GB VRAM. As if hardware vendors are holding back the goodies for themselves. God forbid someone writes a game that mallocs 32GB of RAM, will you be crying out against games that use 1 to 2 GB's?

    AMD Q1 2015 Earnings - 23 cents a share loss, to exit dense server (SeaMicro)

    ChipAbuse: Mathtester's misbegotten child

    I'll give you a reason why not Java - the JVM is managed and if you're benchmarking, you want to know exactly what's going on. The JVM takes some of that away from you. There are a ton of JVM flags that can drastically alter an application's behavior and figuring out how the flags work is dark...

    [Sweclockers] AMD Zen coming in Q3 2016, will be on 14 nm

    Is there even a complete 2015 roadmap out yet for AMD for all their businesses? I think its premature to plan for late 2016 without knowing more about 2015. Unless, of course, there is no roadmap and they're just hoping to survive the next 18 months on fumes.
