Oh, I don't find the benchmarks... that got a little tiring pre-Zen 2, and all I used to do was search GB and UB haha. _rogame does all the benchmark finding, and I don't want to take any credit for that stuff. All goes to him haha.Zen Eng Sample in July/Aug 2016 --> Launch March 2017 (8 months)
Zen2 Eng Sample in Aug/Sep 2018 --> Launch July 2019 (8 months)
Zen3 taped out last year Q2. And in the presentation for the Archer2 award in Oct 2019 an AMD rep said they were already sampling Milan to the Hyperscalers.
Also from last Oct, Milan was always planned for Q3 and probably Ryzen in Q2, but things changed a bit. So we could expect Ryzen for Q3 which is barely 4-5 months away.
Zen3 is really a blackhole this time, It is either very very good or it is not being tested out there in the wild
For a 'later this year' launch as mentioned in the FAD there is really a dearth of ENG samples compared to past history.
But at least this time, APISAK will have more company with rogame and uzzi
I follow the rumour mill a little tighter and and I help him dig through any more technical stuff, Github leaks etc.
Speaking of which, the 30th March embargo date for Renoir? Yeah, that's probably legit, heard it last week after the person that told me got my hopes up as they thought it that very day they told me.
Tomorrow's the day. We're just hours away from seeing stupid level power efficiency in a CPU.
And I can't wait for it.
