To ensure absolute disorientation, AMD can also retroactively rename Hawk point to Ryzen AI 200 😆
As it turns out, AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X drops frequency by 10% with heavy AVX-512 usage: it reduces clock speed from 5,700 MHz to 5,300 MHz, which is not substantial and which is in line with what AMD said in an interview with Tom's Hardware back in July. In contrast, Intel processors that do support AVX-512 (the company is known for disabling AVX-512 from Alder Lake and Raptor Lake CPUs for various reasons) usually drop their clocks dramatically when executing AVX-512 instructions.
Because this is a bait, rather than a comparison.
If they're dropping prices of HWK towards <$599 devices with this refresh, then Intel RPL-R is in serious trouble.
After reading this, I remembered I said the exact same thing about half a year ago when AI 300 naming was leaked
The new naming is still ass though, that hasn't changed
AMD made a whole new budget-focused die for 8540U and 8440U processors, but there's barely any laptops with it. I wonder why.If they're dropping prices of HWK towards <$599 devices with this refresh, then Intel RPL-R is in serious trouble.
thats assuming the X3D models are bug free on launch...I guess another reason to wait for the 3D models, is that users of the regular Zen models are essentially beta testers.
In fairness, the last 3D models were not bug free at launch.I guess another reason to wait for the 3D models, is that users of the regular Zen models are essentially beta testers.
Because "budget focused" didn't actually reduce the costs that much on the back end. There are a few of them out there, but they aren't much cheaper than better alternatives.AMD made a whole new budget-focused die for 8540U and 8440U processors, but there's barely any laptops with it. I wonder why.
Given how underwhelming the performance of Strix has been, they're going to have to practically neuter the clocks on the higher end Hawk Point chips to build market segmentation with Kraken and 10 core Strix SKUs. The 10 core Strix takes a big hit to gpu clock speed as well as capping the boost speeds on the P and c cores. Kraken will have a slower iGPU, but may actually have better ST performance depending on boost speeds.

AMD are happy selling AMD chips. If you'll buy 8-core Zen4 instead of 8-core Zen5, it's still a win. Under the same low TDP, I think Kraken will offer a bit of improvement over Hawk, because of slightly more efficient C-cores, newer arch, and faster ram. But under 45W+ TDP it'll lose.Given how underwhelming the performance of Strix has been, they're going to have to practically neuter the clocks on the higher end Hawk Point chips to build market segmentation with Kraken and 10 core Strix SKUs.

That whole stack will be a mess...
They won't be happy if they had expectations for Zen 4/5 sales. Ramping up production for Zen 5 while lowing production for Zen 4.AMD are happy selling AMD chips.

The answer is almost certainly it will not. An uplift vs 7800X3D, most likely, but more than 5.2 to 5.3 GHz? I definitely wouldnt bet on that. If they manage to bring a 9800X3D that matches 9700X in boost frequency (even if they call it 5.5 and it really ends up 5.45 similar to 5800X3Ds advertised vs actual boost clocks), that would be considered the biggest positive surprise of the entire Zen 5 generation. I 100% dont believe they can do it.The question is can AMD provide an x3D cpu that can go clock for lock with the non x3d versions. That would add value and performance.
Does Win10 have VBS off by default? How do you disable that?
Type in "core isolation" in the modern ui settings, disable it. also there are registry tweaks to make sure hvci/vbs is off.Does Win10 have VBS off by default? How do you disable that?
Shows up as "memory integrity"? Looks like its default off on this Tiger Lake laptop Im using.Type in "core isolation" in the modern ui settings, disable it. also there are registry tweaks to make sure hvci/vbs is off.
Sorry, the Greatest Of All Time was the Celeron 300A. Unquestionable. Undisputed.Its not even there for me in Win 10 and last I heard it was disabled by default in 10.

GOAT status confirmed.

That's not all timeas an overclocking beast yes celeron 300A is in the history books.
So lets just say the GOAT of this era.
