The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!

I feel like this pushes the min clock to be expected from Zen+ to 4.3Ghz, since exactly how would a 2800X differentiate itself from a 2700X then? +200mhz on base/boost seems about right, XFR to 4.4Ghz and since it's the top non-TR die, 4.5Ghz all core overclock.

Otherwise I think most anyone interested in Ryzen will wait for Zen2, which is surprisingly close so :shrug:

No it wasn't hard. At least with the keystones I used. Some might close and lock up in a different way and contact the shielding differently which can effect difficulty though.

The cable I used had wire mesh shielding surrounding all the twisted pairs with each pair individually wrapped in foil too so maybe that effected things as well. The keystones were a clamshell type and came with a copper sheet to wrap around the cut back shielding, holding together, while still allowing it to contact the metal shell of the keystone and go to drain. They locked together with a built in friction clip. For the time they were fairly expensive, I remember paying around $14 a keystone. Googling real quick shows similar ones going for around $6 a pop now. YMMV

Just thinking about stripping the shielding off of 4 pairs per drop with my big ol' sausage fingers and you did 24, so 24 * 2 * 4 = ouch. Could be I just have bad memories from the last time I made my own taps. Ask me about slipping while stripping insulation and jamming the business end of a wire cutter not just into the end of my two fingers but also under a nail!

According to u/looncraz on Reddit, it sounds like those scores are equivalent to what he's getting at 4.1 GHz all-core. So I'd hypothesize that 4.4 GHz is the XFR turbo and 4.1 GHz is the all-core turbo there. Of course you should be able to manually overclock all cores to the single-core turbo without much issue.

If the same binning applies to Zen+, that probably means Threadripper 2 hopefully clocks in at 4.7, which is getting close enough to Intel to not really matter.

So... how does Threadripper do in gaming? Any issues in older titles with the NUMA layout/etc?

i get that youre really into AMD and such but zen 2 like physically does not exist yet. it could be dogshit. it could be cancelled. intel could launch icelake. who knows!

it would be cool if AMD suddenly got IPC/clock competitive, but if intel's 10nm disaster and AMD's bulldozer disaster tells us anything, its to be conservative with getting breathlessly excited about CPU products that may or may not be good/ever exist. AMD hasnt even launched Zen+ yet. lets take it one step at a time.

They've already taped out Zen2 though and are merely waiting on the foundries?

Yeah, it’s strange to say that Zen 2 doesn’t exist when AMD has been saying otherwise for several months. It’s fair to say we haven’t seen any leaked numbers, but calling it a potential Bulldozer-level fiasco when it’s essentially improved Zen is... odd.

intel taped out cannonlake like 3 years ago, and icelake a year ago. finishing a design does not = launch quality products in the wild, and certainly not on shelves

im not saying its gonna be bulldozer level, im saying getting all hyped up that its gonna obliterate intel is probably not wise considering the history of the CPU industry, and how far away it still is. even as an AMD homer, i would just be 'cautiously optimistic'

I guess I can understand that, but Cannonlake and Icelake not being out are foundry issues, and if TSMC and GloFo drop the ball on 7nm it's going to get weird for more than AMD.

It's only going to hurt Intel bad if it's Zen2 v Coffeelake, that's my optimistic reading for AMD considering Intel is thinking about releasing Z390 and 8C CFLs later this year, indicating that Icelake is still quite a bit off.

Maybe Intel gets a 10nm product out fast enough it's a non issue, either way I'm only claiming desktop because lmao AMD decided to do a 12nm refresh of Raven Ridge for 2019 so they're going to flail about in mobile again till 2020.

Far Cry Primal

There are a few others that require game mode to not crash after some arbitrary point. Everything should be compatible with game mode.

:matters:


The clockspeed of infinity fabric is determined by the memory frequency, but sometimes it's more beneficial to use a lower memory frequency to allow for tighter timings. Before I could hit 3200CL16 with this CMK32GX4M2B3000C15, it was 5% faster to run at 2666CL14 over 2933CL16. That's just comparing firestrike physics scores, actual games/multicore workloads show a more dramatic improvement.

Risky Bisquick posted:

I feel like this will ultimately have more impact than a potential 4350 or 4400mhz ceiling. There's a 25-30% gap between an 1800X@4100 w/ 2133 vs 3600 ram! How much of that was mitigating the shortcomings of the original IMC? That 2700X@4000 w/ 2666CL16 scored a 20400 on firestrike physics. Assuming we retain this kind of perf benefit from faster memory, a 2800X@4350 w/ 3200mhz ram will be within spitting distance of the 1950X's 25700 score!!! I know we're trying to not have any expectations here but this could be pretty sick my dudes

That said, 4350mhz is definitely enough to reach parity with a stock 8700's single threaded perf. The 1800X comes within like 4 or 5% at 4150

I wonder if the 16 phase VRMs on the upcoming X470 boards are a requirement for 4.3ghz all core?? Or is it future proofing for Zen 2

https://elchapuzasinformatico.com/2018/03/exclusiva-familia-amd-ryzen-2000-al-completo-benchmarks-precios-y-fecha-de-lanzamiento/

I'm sure I missed a few things but roughly:

2700X with slightly higher TDP (105W) and a new "Wraith Prism" boxed cooler
X470 offers better auto overclocking (XFR2 Enhanced, Precision Boost Overdrive), optimized memory routing/VRM, bootable NVMe RAID and better idle power efficiency
no 2800X for now


B450 is curiously missing here: "All Ryzen Desktop 2000 Processor are unlocked — overclocking CPU/iGPU requires motherboard support (X470/X370/B350)". I hope that's just an oversight.

Will 2700 still be the best choice with manual overclocking, or are the higher R7s much better binned? All things being equal. I guess the new TDPs might change the calculus on this.

I'd wait to see some reviews. It's possible 12nm LP node allows for much higher clocks, but I'd point out that AMD has fewer SKUs this time and a larger gap between them in performance/price. This might indicate some greater amount of binning going on so non-X models might hit 4.3Ghz across the board, but X models could hit 4.6Ghz or something.

Also, current running theory in reddit circles seems to be the X800 SKUs are being moved to TR as entry level processors for the platform. So basically the future looks like X900 & X800 [TR4], X700, X600 and X500 [AM4 CPU], X400 and below [AM4 APUs].

Sorta. The first chips using EUV will probably only use EUV for some parts.

The 7nm from glofo etc is somewhere in the 9nm range aka pretty close to intel's 10nm which is in the 9nm range also.

2018 is the year intel loses their lead either way. This chart is a bit old now, around 6-8 months, I can't find the updated one:



It's what happens in 2020 and beyond that is probably bad for intel.
