AMD Software : Adrenalin Edition 23.2.1 [22.40.01.45] - 14/02/23

I installed yesterday without issues, but today when I was going to start my computer it was completely dead. After a couple of hard resets it came into the Windows repair window but I couldn't get my PC to work, not even by resetting to a previous restore point. So now I am forced to reinstall...

FX-9830P Throttling

Hi, sorry for a very late answer. I am using an ASUS X550IU which also has the odd FX-9830P + RX 460 combo. I have just recently applied new thermal paste to the APU, and my CPU in windows is pending between 3492 mhz and 3792mhz. Also the temps are in the 50-range when testing a session of...

Nvidia ,Rtx2080ti,2080,(2070 review is now live!) information thread. Reviews and prices

I wonder if Nvidias decision to go for a ultra large chip (2080ti is ~775mm^2) is going to become a headwind for Nvidia going forward. While AMD is lacking the RTX cores/tech they are now going 7nm based on a much smaller chip to begin with. Nvidia is not going to be able to die shrink Turing...

AMD Q3 Earnings

It's funny that people are surprised by this quarter and the forecast. AMD told us at the beginning of the year that the full year guidance would be 25% better than 2017. This puts it a little below that. Another thing to remember is that they have changed reporting standard, so they book...

Vega refresh - Expected? How might it look?

I agree on RTG not living up to the goals the last years. However, graphics remaing a huge opportunity for AMD to grow in once EPYC and additional Ryzen revenue comes in. They have major IP`s and graphics oppotunities are bigger than the once in CPU`s. Gaming GPU`s are only a part of the...

Did AMD miss a big opportunity in 2017?

No, they couldn't do it any other way. Ryzen/Epyc/Threadripper all entered areas where AMD had little presence before. They replaced old Vishera products that AMD's partners had like 2 years to clear out their inventory (2015 & 2016). Raven Ridge is directly replacing Carrizo/Bristol Ridge...

AMD launches Ryzen Mobile 7 2700U & 5 2500U with Vega Graphics

I believe that is a memory problem, not a problem with RR itself. DDR4 simply does not provide all necessary bandwidth. But that means the gpu part can run at lower speeds without losing performance.

Future to Bulldozer architecture?

I assume as BD was originally developed for a SOI process, it might make a comeback when newer SOI processes are competitive with comparable FinFET process. Would it be impossible to port Zen to use FDSOI?

[Canard PC Hardware] Intel prepares Ryzen's response behind the scenes

I think you should also consider the yield issue. The new SKU's surely are a response to Ryzen. However, Intel cannot churn out infinite numbers of these as surely only a small minority of all chips will qualify. I believe the reason to release the new SKU's to LGA2066 is that there will be less...

Steam numbers for new GPUs.

A bit underwhelming numbers for AMD. But then again, the RX480 doesn't really compete with the 1080 or 1070. It competes with the GTX1060, GTX970, R9 390 and 390X. Even the R9 380-series, but why would anyone choose a 380 over a 480? So just seeing it has twice the marketshare of the 1060, I...

Inside the Xbox One S - SOC 16nm FinFET process (TSMC)

If I could have a guess at why they have been using GF for the GPU's and TSMC for their semicustom SoC's, I would say it has something to do with AMD's wafer supply deals. AMD has a wafer supply agreement, take-or-pay. That means they get their wafers, no matter the quality. Because both...

I imagine this is the reason AMD decided to launch the Radeon Pro Duo chip, to get rid of all the Fiji dies. The box even contains 1 Fiji chip as a souvenir :o As the ASP is 1499$ they sell it at 500/chip = same as Nano. The Nano still might hold the lead as M-itx champ though. But Fiji never...

This might be a good thing for AMD. AMD is after Intel's bread n' butter, the PC and server market. With the AM4-platform ranging from 1m/2t (Bristol Ridge) to 8c/16t (Zen), AMD might actually grab a large share of the market. Even if Intel has a small advantage in single threaded scenarios...

They might, but I'm not sure. I think AMD in Q1 2016 will reach their lowest point for (I hope) a low time: 1. They are selling more notebook CPU's, and hopefully Carrizo and Bristol Ridge will be offered in better packages (SSD, IPS, etc) so that trend might continue. AMD has had a hard...

A combination of marketing and logistical reasons probably. If AMD puts the A6 in a bad light, more people will be willing to go for the A8 or A10. What AMD doesn't need is a cheap part which is cannibalising on their more expensive products. And by keeping their product line slim, it might...

Kaveri Refresh "Godavari" performance

Would it be possible for AMD to use existing AM3+ CPU's (like FX-8370E) and with a little tweaking sell them on AM4-boards? They have done it before with Carrizo-L. That way they could still sell of old Vishera chips and still make it possible for consumers to update to Zen later on. :)
