    AMD Ryzen 3000 - not so disruptive?

    I think if I'd just dropped $500 on a 9900K six months ago, I'd be breathing a big sigh of relief that my CPU is now only obsolete from an economic perspective and not a performance perspective.

    AMD Ryzen 3000 - not so disruptive?

    You seem to have been wanting/expecting not only a huge jump forward in performance and power efficiency but a simultaneous slashing in price. Can you point to a time in the history of consumer CPUs where that has ever happened? If you just wanted something cheaper, wait for the Ryzen 3 models...

    AMD Ryzen 3000 - not so disruptive?

    AMD just overtook Intel in IPC and absolute single-thread performance for the first time since March 7 2006. 15% improvement in IPC is bigger than any single Intel generational improvement since Conroe and the biggest jump by anyone since first-generation Ryzen. Not to mention that performance...

    Official AMD Ryzen Benchmarks, Reviews, Prices, and Discussion

    Reminds me a bit of the original Conroe demonstration. Best way to silence the critics is to flatter your opposition rather than minimising it. The fact that Intel overclocked the FX-60 they were benchmarking against, and still whooped it, has stuck with me even 10 years later.

    Vishera Review Up - Anandtech

    Hardcoreware tested this and found a substantial improvement over Bulldozer in every game they tested, with the exception of Skyrim (which seems to just flat-out suck on every AMD CPU). Obviously the 3570k isn't threatened, but the 8350 actually manages to edge it out in Crysis 2.

    Fudzilla: Bulldozer performance figures are in

    Seriously, guys? AMD (a company 1/25th Intel's size, let's not forget) develops a brand new, completely novel architecture that looks to perform a whopping 50% percent better than its previous generation, and all you can do is yawn? Nitpick about how AMD is "technically" using eight cores when...

    Intel to segregate Mainstream and Enthusiast Platforms even more with Sandy Bridge

    Wow 1155 sounds awful. Sandy Bridge is a tock cycle, right? Performance will have to be outstanding to generate any excitement. I'm sure it will be, that's Intel's strength and they haven't made many mis-steps since Core 2 came out... but AMD is definitely positioning themselves as a more...

    Do I need a new video encoding program or a new CPU?

    It's not so much the encoding program as the codec. x264 is beautifully multithreaded and scales near-perfectly as you add more cores. xvid, which I assume you're using because you're using AutoGK, tries its best but doesn't gain anywhere near as much from more cores. I really suggest...

    AMD - Cool N Quiet - Am I this Dense??

    I'm sure that was the problem. Power saver: lowest frequency 100% of the time Balanced: lowest frequency when no load, full frequency under load Full performance: full frequency 100% of the time Try turning Cool 'n Quiet back on and set your power management to Balanced.

    AMD 1090T BE Processor and 1055T (Thuban) tested

    I think these are really exciting chips. I'm not sure why so many people seem to think that if it doesn't outright take the performance crown from Intel, it's not worthwhile or interesting. These seem like they will have amazing bang for buck for certain kinds of users.

    Hexus.net - Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 TOXIC 2,048MB

    The card was like 1-2% faster in every other game, even 2560x1600 with 8xAA. You'd expect better peformance than that just from the rather hefty increase in clocks. Not sure what's going on with that card...

    GTX480 hits 87c and higher on load?

    Unless it sounds like a leafblower at that temperature, who cares? The main point of the article, though, is delicious. Almost every single benchmark to come out has been dodgy or obviously cherry-picked in some way. Very specific parts of Unigine, Far Cry 2 over and over and over, and now...

    Anyone with U2410's here?

    I think i've heard that the Spyder2 isn't really suitable for calibrating wide-gamut monitors like the U2410. Google agrees - you need the Spyder3 or Eye-One Display2. Edit: this thread may be useful: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=830674

    Going back to green: a rant

    I love how "your uses" turned out to be this: I think three users is optimistic. How's that 3000 frames per second in Quake II working out for you? Honestly, what made you think that the unavailability of a non-essential software function in games that are well over a decade old in the very...

    XFX 5770 no overclock?

    This is right. There's some confusion in this thread, so for clarification: 1) A 5XXX card can drive one monitor at 157/300, but requires substantially more juice (usually 400/1200) to drive two or more. Trying to use two monitors at 157/300 causes weird flickering and tearing on the desktop...

    XFX 5770 no overclock?

    http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=123699&enterthread=y Follow the steps in "solution 2" I needed 400/1200 to stop the flickering though apparently others have had success with lower clocks. Might depend on the resolution/refresh of your monitors.

    Is Intel going 'girls gone wild' while AMD takes a 'chill pill'?

    Microcenter was warping the perceived value of Intel chips by selling them at massive discounts (ie. way below cost) to get people through the door. Quite annoying for people without access to one. I got sick of people considering the 750 to be a "$150" CPU whenever someone asked for advice on a...

    Tech Arp HD Benchmark 3.0 was released today!!

    Here's one. Unlocked X2 550. Not the fastest thing out but it has to be up there in terms of FPS/$. Looks to be about 3% faster than the identically clocked X4 965 with DDR2 in the OP. Edit: but almost exactly the same as your 940 with DDR2? Who knows :p Results for x264.exe r1342...

    RAM setting to 1600 - how

Stable as anything at 1333 speeds (even undervolted with really tight...

    5830 Delayed... AGAIN

    I wanted a "5830" before one was ever announced, but ended up getting a 5770 out of necessity. Of course the 5830's existence leaked about three days later. I was kicking myself for a while but now I think I probably made the right decision...

    Can someone explain this benchmark to me?

    Really? From what I've seen that built-in benchmark (which is all anyone seems to benchmark with) tends to produce massive differentiation between high-end i7 CPUs and Phenoms (like, the i7 is literally twice as fast). Meanwhile in real-world gaming, and just about all other games benchmarks...

    Different mulitiplier/clocks per core, is this a bad idea?

    Interesting! I guess the best thing to do is to experiment. Getting a few percent speedup in benchmarks would easily be outweighed by a lack of perceived smoothness due to P-state skullduggery. Theoretically at worst it shouldn't be any slower, as the slowest core is running at the same speed it...

    First major upgrade in 4 years!

    Don't get a Q8200. Its clock speed is too low and its very low multiplier means you need a really capable board to effectively overclock it. The quad cores will still be serving you well in a couple of years if you're encoding videos or something, but the low clock speeds will cripple you in...

    Different mulitiplier/clocks per core, is this a bad idea?

    I have an unlocked X2 550 which I'm overclocking with PhenomMsrTweaker. It lets you set individual multipliers per core, but I've always kept them the same because that just seems like the thing to do. In fact I think I assumed that setting asynchronous clocks would probably cause Windows to...

    $300 to upgrade an Athlon64 w/7800GTX

    That A64 platform is going to be a problem no matter which way you slice it. My old rig had an A64 @ 2.5GHz + 8800GT, and got around 20-50 fps in TF2. I got a new Phenom II 550 + DDR3 and framerates shot up to a constant 80-90. Same video card. Edit: didn't realise there was an X2 4000+ - if...
