Eyes Only posted:Is it an actual shortage or is Intel just unable to keep up with unexpected growth in the market? The slight increase in consumer chip prices are likely because of the production of the 9000 series chips, the others are because of demand. They've been increasing their 2018 revenue forecast by a few billion over the year.

Mr.Radar posted:Even Intel is forecasting AMD will take about 20% of the server CPU market next year. Depending on how well 7nm Epyc ends up performing, how well AMD can keep up with demand, and how long Intel's supply shortages last that could easily go higher. And while the server CPU market isn't a very large portion of the total CPU market it's a very profitable sector for Intel so losses in that sector will disproportionately impact Intel's bottom line. Good. Because no way in hell is AMD worth ~30bn without a significant market share increase in the enterprise space.

Rumors are going around that AMD is going to release an X499 chipset. Around CES time. I sure hope there's something revolutionary coming with it, because otherwise it's loving stupid to do that out of step with the Threadrippers.

They face huge issues in so many spaces right now, but they're going to kick rear end and take names in the server CPU market if they see adoption and can supply the demand. The problem is they've had good products before that didn't sell that well relative to how they beat the competition on price and performance. I hope it's different this time, and it seems it will be, but no one can see the future. Khorne fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Sep 9, 2018 |

Eyes Only posted:Is it an actual shortage or is Intel just unable to keep up with unexpected growth in the market? Intel had expected to move production onto 10nm a long time ago and didn't expand 14nm enough to keep up with growth. iirc Z390 was supposed to be on 14nm and they've backed off that because there's just no capacity available and now it's just a firmware update for Z370. Given the prolonged delays on 10nm I'd be curious whether Intel starts taping out low-priority stuff (eg things like chipsets or Atoms) onto 14nm or 7nm to free up their internal capacity, but they've traditionally been hesitant to do that over IP concerns. It would obviously look real bad for them too, but appearances aside the question is whether shortages would be worse and/or how quickly they think 10nm will be operational.

I am unable to get a Dell Precision T7920 warrantied at work with a 12Core Xenon. They're trying to give ma a dual 20 core replacement at 2.0Ghz base clocks to satisfy due to no availability of parts for the last month.

Are they throwing in additional Windows Server licences to cover the added cores 8 cores? I don't know what the clock on your 12 core is, but I assume it's higher than 2ghz, which is also likely a no-go.

Paul MaudDib posted:On this note... I ended up being out of town all weekend, sorry for the post&run. Re: tire fire: Taking a 20% hit on their main cash cow has got to hurt, and no amount of enthusiast toys can make up for it. Doubly so when their biggest buyers have to go elsewhere because you just can't supply them. How long can they get away with blaming it on their ex-CEO, and when do we start seeing more C-level heads roll? In AMD news, the abandonment of 7nm has led to another amendment to the WSA. WFFCtech so probably need another confirmation, and they don't know what the changes are. I'd be surprised if that decision didn't cause a material change in the relationship worthy of a renegotiation. And goddamn AMD just run some cheap DRAM IP through Glofo already. The market will gobble it up and you won't be paying a tax on every real chip you make. Your "costs" are going to be lower than everyone else because you get to subtract the double-penalties out.

I wonder how much of the bottleneck stems from increasing the core counts (and die dize) on the bread and butter CPUs rather drastically in the past couple generations.

What's the point of having a WSA, if GloFo doesn't even want to support the desired node size.

Didn't see this mentioned, AMD launched more of the Zen+ stack today. 2700E and 2600E (45w limited parts), 2500X (4/8), and 2300X (4/4) https://www.anandtech.com/show/13343/amd-announces-four-new-ryzen-cpus-2700e-2600e-2500x-and-2300x

quote:AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E are the company’s first eight and six-core CPUs featuring a 45 W default TDP. The new processors enable PC makers to build small form-factor desktops that do not need high-performance cooling. The chips are clocked at 300-400 MHz below their 65 W counterparts. At the same time, the Ryzen 5 2600E and the Ryzen 7 2700E still have the cache as the higher rated parts, but will not support Precision Boost Overdrive.

I'm told the intra-CCX latency is extremely low, like lower than a ringbus even, so on paper they should be a lot better in latency-sensitive situations like gaming. OTOH, people playing around with disabling cores and APUs don't seem to make much of a difference.

Those E chips are pretty awesome for my DVR/transcoding box. My super cheap A320,board maxes out at 45W, but More Cores Are Better for transcoding and I probably wouldn’t have to lean on GPU acceleration and could just encode in software while using a GT1030.

I've found most windows software already handles it, the only one that hasn't yet is msi kombuster's on screen display. Same for my motherboard which is how I'm controlling the fans. Linux software doesn't yet but they do tend to lag behind.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:The inter-CCX latency really matters for high(er) thread count/NUMA stuff. For anything else lowering the inter-CCX latency will be nice but not a really big deal. I said intra-CCX (within a CCX), not inter-. Within a CCX, Ryzen actually has lower latency than Intel does, so at least on paper a single-CCX design would be a lot better for gaming, but like I said, people have played with it and it doesn't seem to help all that much and I don't really get why

a simpler explanation is that they're having real trouble finding dies that are partially hosed on both sides like if there are two/three bad cores on one CCX but the other CCX is fine, you'd probably want to go with what's faster in microcode, even in game performance it doesn't actually translate to much Anime Schoolgirl fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Sep 12, 2018 |

I was playing with PBO and I think I might just leave my 2950x at stock or with only a very modest boost, like 20W just to feel like I gained something. The boosts don't seem to be worth pushing it since I'm not constantly loading all cores, doubly so because if I load my UPS too much its fan will turn on and that thing is loud.Combat Pretzel posted:The whole temp stuff seems weird. Package temperatures on my TR seem to be more correct, without the 27°C offset. But when doing random low effort crap, like watching a video and using a browser, it randomly tends to jump 8-10°C and then comes back down. But when playing a game, which loads the CPU, it's steady and goes slowly up (when the water cooling is trying to get to steady state). The temperature reported by the package isn't from a single sensor but instead takes the maximum of a bunch of different sensors that aren't individually exposed. So it's not your entire chip getting 10C hotter, it's just one small part, which is entirely normal with modern CPU boost algorithms. What's happening is there's tons of power and thermal headroom at idle so when a task does come in a single core will run flat out until it's done with as much power as a single core can handle. You hit another steady state, where the energy leaving the cores equalizes with the energy entering the water, very quickly, and below that temperatures can swing wildly.

ufarn posted:I had to set my minimum processor state to something like 9x% in the power settings, because Ryzen seems to struggle to find a plateau. Having it jump above my fan curve trigger ever minute was driving me mad. That seems awfully wasteful, look into your fan control to set some hysteresis on the CPU fan (and any others that are based on CPU temp). Even an air cooler has plenty of thermal mass, the spike in temperature from a short burst of full clockspeed is more about conductivity. So a 1/2 second delay before the fan reacts to the CPU isn't really hurting anything. Also if using BIOS fan control, build your fan curve with that +20 offset accounted for -- I was also having this problem until I realized that I needed to start spinning up at 60C not 40. That despite the temp display in the BIOS itself using the non-offset temp.

Only thing I've got left to try out is bump the minimum fan speed for the case fans in ASUS's "quiet" profile with the AI Overclocking Profile set to "Auto" for now. It's not so much a solution as a fix, but the fan hysteresis was driving me insane. ufarn fucked around with this message at 12:09 on Sep 12, 2018 |

So if anyone here bought a 32 core Threadripper and will at least occasionally use it for gaming, you really should update your drivers.  Benchmarks with new Vs. old drivers here.
