If so it will be a goddamn repeat of Pentium 4 vs Athlon. Thinking about how long Intel has been riding on no-competition.. maybe it's possible? I want to believe.

To me the thing that's least believable about it is that they'd come up with a 12-core 5.1GHz chip, which would be able to murder anything Intel is putting out for under four figures, and then they'd sell it for $450. Like... I'd stand in line to pay $700 for that and I'm a cheapass who's been sitting on a 2500K for 6 years looking at new things and going "eh... not good enough yet."

if anything, those clocks are way too low

That rumor strikes me as wrong on everything.

The core counts are unlikely to change. The clock gains are way too high and why would they use the 2XXX naming system instead of 1X50?


Everything about it seems dumb and bad.

So it is probably right?

Maybe for Ryzen2 you might see cores change and clocks that high, but Ryzen+ will be maybe 4.3 to 4.5ghz and bettern memory timings thats about it

Those "leaks" seem like horseshit, but if they were true, everyone would be rushing out to buy one.
8700K would seem like a plaything even with slightly better single thread perfomance, especially with a 5.1GHz stock boost.

But I'm pretty sure someone has just scribbled out their fantasties, keeping them just on the edge of possibility, and then spread them around.

Amd uses Ryzen the same way Intel uses Core, Ryzen 2 is only used on lovely clickbait techsites. Neither Ryzen+ nor Zen+ exist anymore but people still stick to that name for some reason, and the architecture is named Zen(2).

Those specs are obvious fakes that have been circulating around for months.

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
Pinnacle is supposed to be on 12nmLP (or really, AMD 14nm++), so there will be some improvement, because who the gently caress pays a fab for a customized process to design several chips for and get nothing out of it? gently caress it would be AMD, wouldn't?

The only way those core counts and clockspeeds are in the realm of realistic is if AMD is backporting Zen2 to 12nm, which might turn into it's own kind of mess. If that's true, it also means Zen2 7nm is delayed to like, mid 2019 or so.

And then I found THIS company.

Who announced that they were switching from Intel processors to AMD Ryzen parts.

Ryzen was originally delayed because it's was so fast it managed to get an overflow error on the core frequency. Ryzen 2 will be noticeably slower in absolute terms but faster practically.

Conning normal people to pay for your electricity, deal with your waste heat, house your equipment, and not use any of the actual computing power is a dream come true for capitalism, but putting server farms inside thousands/millions of homes is a maintenance/upgrading nightmare. And data access speeds would be alll kinds of hosed. :newlol:

its 14nm++ that was given a fancy new name. It might have slightly more via density, or smaller line pitch or it could just be better fin topology.

Whenever I bring up async IF elsewhere, I often enough get countered by people saying that AMD wouldn't do it because it requires additional buffering that'd cause latency. Well, given the bus width and frequency mismatchs between RAM and IF, aren't there already buffers, anyway?

My understanding is that the issue is that they're linked (with some multiplier), not mismatched.

Yes, the IF runs at half the memory bus speed. But it's like 4 times as wide (256 bit vs 64 bit memory bus). There's gotta be some buffering already.

IF is also a packet based setup, similar to PCI-E, so running them completely async shouldn't be an issue fundamentally, you still have flow control and congestion management on the fabric, you just run them both as fast as they can, and deal with buffer over and underruns on the IF crossbar like you would any other memory tech. It's certainly hideously more complex than that, but fundamentally nothing about IF needs to be tied to a specific clock domain.

I always knew it would end like this.
So it turns out that intel 10nm is turbofucked, meaning that AMD + glofo 7nm could actually be ahead/competitive with intel on a process level.


AMD still needs a good GPU but getting that sweet sweet datacenter cpu cash would go a long way to funding RTG well....

I'm not aware of any good news outlets that cover such things. Who and where can I read about Intel's 10nm being hosed up?
