Because it's a meme.
Not viable performance levels for 2025 with nothing (hint: slap a modem innit) to compensate for it.

Some parts are a meme.

You can say it like an adult. That also applies to you saying it's "netbook-class performance" when it's matching today's Hawk Points. I don't give that much of a crap about this stuff, I'm slowly extricating myself from this industry because I don't even believe in it anymore, but this edgy-teenager kind of discussion is grating.

I've seen Neoverse V2 - last year's IP, the kind of IP you call "mid", in the category of SoC that another user says is composed of "meme chips" - absolutely thump server Zen 4's at single-thread int and do pretty okay across a socket. "but muh future server chip that is still only sampling" yeah, whatever.

AMD fans are a meme.

HPT1/2 are not the 2025 AMD mainstream product.
Come on, be honest.
but this edgy-teenager kind of discussion is grating.
Fun is fun.
Forums aren't for serious discussions.

Neoverse V2 is still not GA anywhere. Doesn't exist.
I can buy Genoas just fine.
"but muh future server chip that is still only sampling" yeah, whatever.
Hitting the pre-Turin copium? Don't.

It ughhh, doesn't.

Grace has been shipping for a minute. You can buy them at inflated 1-unit prices from niche OEMs now, if you really want to. There's several Grace-based clusters on the top500. I guess it's not "GA" if you can't buy it from Best Buy or in a $5000 entry-level Proliant.

Hitting the pre-Turin copium? Don't.

I don't give a crap about Turin. I don't give a crap about ARM. The workloads I run mostly hang out on increasingly obsolete but still potent Power9's. If I was doing a new buildout today, it would very likely be Genoa, because no merchant ARM - sorry, Ampere - comes close. I don't have a dog in this. But that "mid" "meme" IP? Neoverse V1 and V2? I've used and benchmarked it.

OEMs pretty obviously disagree.

Marketroids are in the golden age of selling AI to consumers: there are no standards around how to measure a 'TOP' so whatever method they can find to claim a bigger number they can do, consumers have no idea how many 'TOPS' they need or should have, but they will be made to feel absolutely left out like a chump still using dialup if they don't own a PC with some 'TOPS'!

That's a funky mezza with joke DRAM options.
Please.

It's not GA until it hits tier 1 OEM configurators. Pretty simple.

Yeah it's mid.
Benching V1 versus SMT off Genoa is as trivial as going to AWS.

Goalposts go flying

Holy crap, that's a good six hundred meters... those goalposts left a crater

Yeah it's mid.

If by "mid" you mean "exceeds Zen4 iso clock ST int, often by a not-small margin", then sure. Dunno what that says about Zen4.

Yeah it's not a socket I can just deploy.
Pretty simple.

It's something that HPC users have managed to deploy in volume, which is impressive, since according to you V2 doesn't exist. There's more Grace systems on the latest Top500 list than MI300's. (I'd point out here that Grav4 instances have been in preview for six months but you'd dodge that one too.)

But okay. You do you. If you want to conclude that an IP that is shipping to end users in the tens of thousands of units doesn't exist, who am I to argue?

No, it's how everyone operates.

For an HPC-oriented part? BS. Hell, even Altra was GA for years, and everyone who really wanted them had them, before you could just order a Proliant with it in volumes of one.

That's the thing, Zen4 clocks helluva lot higher iso wattage.
Simple, ain't it?

Enough higher to outweigh lower iso clock perf? You got evidence for that? How 'bout area?

let’s get a few things straight. CPU-Z is as useless as a benchmark as Geekbench. Probably even more so.

Industry name for a dual layer OLED is Tandem OLED. Apple calls the overall display with its fancy name but refers to the display tech as Tandem OLED on the specs page.

I’m Zen 5 is great and all but it won’t ship to stores in June for laptops. Giving Qualcomm a few months of relief.

Preview isn't GA.

We never talked about something being HPC-oriented. Funny goalie shift but I forgive you.

Yea.

Yea.

Hard to compare tiled parts with clusters versus flat mesh monodies, unfortunately.

Re: OLED

Based on searching through papers it been called various names including stacked and tandem.

So I think people shouldn't be too picky about what others call it if the researchers weren't consistent either.

Like HPE and Atos, who have been building them for cluster users?

Preview isn't GA.

Called it

You said everyone operates that way. In HPC, that's not even close to true.


Cool. Show it.

Indulge me. Just core area would be fine. (FWIW, I'm not actually particularly confident on V2 being smaller, because I have only vague intuition for Zen4 core area, so if you have numbers here I'd be 100% interested.)

HPE is t1 but Cray BU isn't really mainstream.
You ain't deploying Shasta on-premises.

Yea, that's the rule.

Goalies.

"HPC doesn't count because reasons"

Yea, that's the rule.

"When I said everyone I meant everyone but HPC"

Pay me.

Pay me.

Well I have evidence that Neoverse-V3 is 0.08mm2 in an implementation on TSMC N4 capable of achieving 6GHz, does iso-clock performance 35% higher than Zen7, and dissipates 110mW in that configuration! You can only see it if you give me money tho.

More confused than upset, I think. Very inventive "u mad bro?" though.
No, definitely upset.
"my super special market that can get away with IBM z tier availability is a good GA indicator!!!111" is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Good entertainment value but deeply unserious discussion otherwise.

True. I am clearly a sillyhead for thinking that HPC availability counts for a core marketed heavily as an IP for HPC SoC's.

Your argument style reminds me of an ex-boyfriend. He was kind of a dick.
