Braised Beef 2600k

Ingredients:
1-2 pounds chuck beef
1 whole onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can beer
olive oil
thyme
rosemary
salt
pepper

Cut onion into large chunks. Crush garlic cloves.
Oil a cooking pot or dutch oven and set to high heat on a stove. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Sear meat on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove meat from pan. Lower heat to medium.
Throw in onions and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Pour in beer, and add thyme, rosemary, and salt to taste---about 1 teaspoon (don't be cautious with the salt).
Add meat to pot, push to submerge, and place lid on pot.

Start Prime95 or other heavy benchmark load on the 2600k. Place pot on heatsink and cook for several hours, until meat is fork tender and falling apart.

I have a copper 1/2 of the Thermaltake water cooling kit somewhere that would have been immensely better for that test then using coins would have been. The water cooler was crap (acrylic likes to crack and leak, I can't say I will ever trust a kit that uses it ever) but the copper block part of it was solid, and makes a good cooler for various other things I have used it on in the past.

The review embargo is up. This is pretty much what everyone was thinking: A big step up for AMD but not enough to beat Intel for gaming. There is some value for production work. They don't OC that well, either but they've already driven Intel prices down a little, so I guess mission accomplished.

Here's one review I watched briefly, but I'm sure you all have your favorite YouTube tech personalities, too.

Cannonlake to be a stacked/3D modular architecture? On-die coprocessors for native ARM code?

That's... extremely suspicious. I don't know that much about semiconductor manufacturing but that seems that designing, testing and making all these combinations would be a huge pain in the rear end, assuming it's even possible to randomly exchange graphics with cache with small cores like that in the first place.

The article pretty much explains why it isn't likely to be real in the first couple of paragraphs. Pretty much the only reason the writer thinks it could be real is that they used an acronym of an upcoming microarchitecture in one of the drawings. It isn't really feasible with how chips are currently produced. Anyone buying them would have to get a lot of them, and you wouldn't be designing them off a website.

One of the purposes of patent drawings is to express some of the patent's embodiments (implementations). So saying a customisable chip could have the latest intel cores, FPGA... is for illustrative purposes. They need to say that it can everything, be customised however, and procured whenever to cover their bases. So going with a codename (which we've known for a year prior) for a something that isn't even out makes the most sense in that context.

This is like seeing that PS4 patent where you say 'Mcdonalds' to skip an advert, and extrapolating that Mcdonalds is so specific that there must be some deal in place for it to happen. So therefore it will happen.

Kaby Lake are the current (7th generation, ie 7000 series) Intel chips. If you're looking to buy now those are what you want.

Coffee Lake is 8th gen, they should release towards the end of 2017. It will offer a marginal increase in performance and consume somewhat less power. Intel claims they'll be 15% faster than Kaby Lake which means they'll be 5-10% faster in real world applications, as has been the case for the last five generation of Intel chips.

Intel processors with a K in the number (7600k etc.) can overclock, chips without the k don't. If you want to overclock get a Z series chipset, if you know you wont overclock and need an affordable board get an H series.

Chips with hyperthreading can run two threads on one core, chips without it have one thread per core.

Cannon Lake are the 9th gen chips scheduled for release sometime in the first half of 2018, they'll be the first 10nm chips but other than that little is known about them.

I agree, this approach makes a lot of sense. The only thing that stretched credulity for me was the ordering web interface. Any semi-custom cpu order is still going to be wayyyyy more involved with a bunch of FAEs involved getting everything figured out with a customer. I wonder if they are incorporating Altera stuff for general purpose core interconnects.

Also it's probably not likely that Apple is one of the top clients for this, it'd be guys like Google, Alibaba, Amazon, Facebook, and yeah Microsoft (for azure stuff). These are CPUs that you'd probably never see outside of a hyperscale environment. Apple has some of that too but is a lot smaller than the main cloud dudes. But they do have a shitload of cash so who knows.

It's not that it'll be infeasible forever. It's that it's infeasible for a thing Intel would start offering tomorrow or even next month.

They'd need to convert over some existing production lines and figure out what way to make existing components more modular would work. Probably doable in a year if they really try, infeasible for the moment.

It should be noted that the price difference between the H270s and the low-to-mid-end Z270 boards is negligible, and you don't *need* to use a "K"-SKUed chip in them. Buying a Z270 also affords you the ability to pick up a discounted K CPU down the line, and no one knows how far you'll be able to stretch the board, since the next Core is still going to be a Skylake derivative.

Yeah, I was a bit harsh with my words. It's not so much that it's infeasible (more like impractical), but it is not something that would be the basis for all, or most (if any) Cannonlake processors. They will have to add an assembly component to the production chain for a start. But there will also be other cost factors such as producing more photomasks for each component and the uncore, and having a larger volume of parts to test. There are also some technical considerations with regards to memory between different architectures, and thermal issues (memory gets hot if you have a GPU on the package). Not unsolvable problems, but complications.

It makes a lot of sense if you have plenty of fab capacity on older processes, and very little of and expensive new process. I can't speak to whether they have overcome the cost and technical hurdles, but it's not the sort of thing they would hide up their sleeve until launch. It is the sort of thing they will need to transition to, and there's no reason to hide it from AMD. It benefits them to demonstrate the technology and shop it around to garner interest. It will be a matter of execution, rather than getting an advantage by using secret technology.

There are two use-cases I can think of: HPC and EUV. I'm sure people would love to put a CPU and non-intel GPU on the same die, and cram more chips into their supercomputer. EUV is so behind and below projections that they would want to get as high of a yield as possible. If I had to speculate, Fab 42 would be a good opportunity to sort it out, but that is 3-4 years away. Intel hasn't disclosed the technology yet, though either option will likely have issues. It isn't as secretive as the article makes out. Many of the problems being faced today involved things discussed in my university physics classes a decade ago.

Custom design of these multi-chips assemblies is going to be enterprise-only, but that method of manufacturing is going to be standard even for consumer chips before too long. (e.g. 5 years)

Tokamak posted:

More than that, too. HBM of course. Multiple configurations with GPU/FPGA. The main one they might be trying to treat as semi-secret here is silicon photonics. That process will never be the same one they use for compute, so a technique like this is absolutely necessary. So this is kinda the first step towards chips shooting light at each other, instead of electrical IO.

Cannonlake isn't even a new architecture and we're probably stuck wait until 2019 for substantial performances gains until then it's just a slew of minor enhancements.

Which are nice but nothing terribly exciting.

What's your usage profile and budget?
I haven't checked the part picking thread in a while, but for gaming the answer will probably involve this mainboard https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157740

and one of the following (Kaby Lake) CPUs
65$ Pentium G4560 - 2core/4thread, a feisty dual core that will run every older game and punch way above its price class. Good stopgap CPU if you're low on funds atm
240$ i5-7600K - 4core/4thread, classic gamers choice. Slap on a few 100MHz in the Bios'es EZ-overclock and you're good to go
350$ i7-7700K - 4core/8thread very similar to the above, but pre-overclocked and with hyperthreading. Debatable if the extra threads are useful for gamers, might be in the future.

Depending on what's going on with your system, yeah, maybe. If there's something that's repeatedly heavily loading the CPU every few seconds, it may very well do that. If you run a benchmark or otherwise heavily load it for a while and see that the temps stabilize at a reasonable place, then your cooling solution is probably fine.

Spiking up means its under load for a second, being able to go back down quickly proves the cooler is working well. Nothing to worry about.

It's true if you want to be extra sure you can run a stress test for a while and make sure it stays somewhere reasonable.

When I first got my 6600K, I reapplied the heatsink three times as this behaviour worried me. If your max temps are good though, it seems normal.
On my 2500k this behaviour didn't happen anywhere near as fast - I'm assuming the small die size and the IHS goop / glue on Sklyake cause it to heat / cool much quicker.

I wonder if delidding and applying better paste, and removing the glue on skylake reduces this behavior (as well as improves temps).

DrDork
Dec 29, 2003

To some extent it would, yes. But at the same time, the physics of shrinking a core means that it naturally had a harder time dissipating the heat due to the reduced contact size it has with the heatsink. In either case, as long as it's not bumping up against thermal limits it's nothing to worry about.

Generally what I do is take stated TDP and double it (which isn't accurate as usually load is ~1.5x) for load - 5820K = 140W, 1070 = 150W. So using my rule, I'd eye a 650W PSU. You should be fine though, just be vigilant and if said Seasonic PSU is nearing the end of its warranty, bear in mind PSUs demonstrably *lose* efficiency over time and you might think of replacing it.

I'm sure a good quality 550W like a Seasonic will be fine, especially as you're at stock. As mentioned if it's getting really old you might want to upgrade, but the Seasonics generally have a hefty warranty.
