There's no roadmap but rumors suggest 12 months after the Ryzen launch, so Q1/2018 although I feel like that would be quite ambitious. B2 stepping is most likely going to be a minor bugfix/errata revision and won't be advertised separately.

Paul MaudDib posted:Consider the following: Threadripper mATX boards with triple PCIe 3.0x16 slots, into which you can attach NVMe SSDs on those quad sled things. Then you do soft-RAID with maybe like a 3-wide RAID10 or something. Or just one single 24 TB dataset. While I'm wishing for a pony how about also having the same 8 SATA + 1 NVMe M.2 of the Asus P10S-M WS, so that you can attach 8 commodity HDDs for secondary storage and a final NVMe M.2 drive with a buttload of L2ARC cache. I think you'd be better of with a U.2 interface to do that work and get the drives in a hot swappable form factor

Old system died last week. Motherboard gave up on life I think. Took a trip to Microcenter and came home with a 1600, AsRock AB350M Pro4, and EVGA 3200. I picked the 1600 because I needed the fan to get my system up quickly and once my Cryorig bracket shows up it will be replaced. Unfortunately MC didn't have any of the better B350 boards so it was either a cheaper B350 or spend the extra for a X370 that I honestly don't need. The EVGA is Hynix B die (I think) so in theory should be able to run it at a reasonable speed. Plugged everything in when I got home and booted right up only to find none of the USB plugs worked because I didn't update to Win 10. A PS/2 keyboard solved that issue and the driver installation went fine. Updated to Win 10 and everything was functioning as it should. The ram was a bitch and would not run above 2133 no matter what I did. Granted it isn't on the QVL list so chalk that up to me being dumb and not taking my own/others advice while also being in a rush. So checked ryzmem and found that Corsair LPX seemed to run pretty well and was also on the QVL list. After some toying I was at least able to get it to run at 2993 with loosened timings. Checked stability and it was fine. Moved on to OC'ing the chip and was able to get to 3.6 across all cores with stock voltage. Ended up at 3.8ghz with 1.325v which was stable after a hour of Prime95 running and the temps are well under control. Played with ram one last time and was able to get it to go to 3200 and factory timings. Pretty happy with that.

Just being slightly cheaper won't win them the server space, I don't think. The TDPs on most of the lower-end Epyc SKUs are insanely high compared to the Intel comparisons. Server farms care pretty dearly about power efficiency.

well tom's hardware wrote this but I couldn't find a slide to confirm it so  tomshardware posted:AMD provided some basic benchmarks, seen in the slides above, that compare its processors to the nearest Intel comparables. The price and performance breakdown chart is perhaps the most interesting, as it indicates much higher performance (as measured by SPECint_rate_base2006), at every price point. It bears mentioning that Intel publicly posts its SPEC benchmark data, and AMD's endnotes indicates that it reduced the scores used for these calculations by 46%. AMD justified this adjustment because they feel the Intel C++ compiler provides an unfair advantage in the benchmark. There is a notable advantage to the compiler, but most predict it is in the 20% range, so AMD's adjustments appear aggressive. We should take these price and performance comparisons with the necessary skepticism and instead rely upon third-party data as it emerges.

R7 1700+ working with DDR4 3000 out of the box, not mine, but a friends. Vengeance LPX. The Spire cooler it came with is insufficient with the high ambient (for the UK, anyway, of 32degC) for any clocking prolly, it's hitting 75deg at 3.5Ghz all cores.

It deserves a noctua for sure. It's quiet though idle, very quiet but ramps up. It's good and stable though, pleased the ram hit it's spec. Although it only would in the two non recommended ram slots (it's dual channel though, 43GB/s read). Asus prime b350. E- AM4 mounting system is great.

Yeah I've noticed a lot of the x299 reviews comparing with Ryzen stuff running at woeful memory speeds... guess they are trying to keep intel happy. I know just the jump from 2933 to 3200mhz on my 1600 in cinebench made a noticeable difference. Going from this 2133 to 3200 would be rather drastic I feel.

Subtracting performance from Intel's benchmark results is bullshit which completely invalidates all of those results. And just to be clear, they are cutting the performance of the Intel chips almost in half. That's an immense level of bullshit right there. Yeah, ICC is good at extracting performance from Intel chips. But that's real performance that you would have in real-world usage. It's AMD's responsibility to push patches into LLVM or GCC or write their own compiler if they think they're leaving performance on the table. Next up: AMD doctors the Vega benchmarks because "NVIDIA has better drivers "Unfortunately this is par for the course with AMD. Like benching Vega against Titans with crippled CAD drivers, while losing to a card that's almost half the price using the correct drivers. Or the launch benchmarks of Fury X showing it winning against the 980 Ti at 4K with settings nobody would ever use in the real world, while in reality it undershoots by 10%+. AMD will do whatever it takes to put their best foot forward even if it's intellectually dishonest, and the AMD fanbase just eats it up.

And if they really want an apples-to-apples comparison they could run all the benchmarks with gcc and use those numbers. Arbitrarily cutting numbers is so hilariously bad that I can't believe even the worst marketing idiot would expect it to fly.

If they do roughly the same thing to Navi It really looks like AMD's platform is focused heavily on i/o. 128 PCI-e lanes on a 1P system are insane. If datancenter nVME drives actually are a high volume product, AMD has a spot.

How does that translate to AMD's particular 0.575 multiplier? So AMD is basically cherrypicking one benchmark with huge gains that are abnormal even for this compiler? What is the typical speedup in your experience? I've never used ICC. Can you describe the nature of the code (highly parallel/not, level of cross-thread interaction, math-intense/memory-intense, etc)?

Power consumption is looking good https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-7601-dual-socket-early-power-consumption-observations/ quote:With the level of power/ performance of the new systems, you can essentially replace four Intel Xeon E5-2600 (V1) servers with a single dual socket EPYC node and get more performance (in most cases) in a single node that uses half the power. That is absolutely stellar. The AMD EPYC platform is still seeing major updates to BIOS for power and performance which is why we are calling these preliminary results. At the same time, we are already seeing some impressive figures.
