Replace the tiger with a wolf howling at the moon and then I'll consider that case.

Threadripper sounds metal as gently caress and is apropos for a company that hasn't had a competitive edge since 2005. They are trying to hurt Intel in a big way and are totally poised to do so.

Cygni posted:threadripper is a cool name for a sewing machine, its dumb for a $1000 computer chip. sounds like somethin a dude with those huge plastic dragon computer cases would have Maybe a nickname for a sewing machine that's absolutely terrible at sewing but great at accidentally ruining your work. Threadripper for the CPU actually makes some sense since you're getting a poo poo load of threads to play with. I think it's a good thing that AMD didn't call this the Ryzen R9 or some other bullshit. A little bit of creativity in naming is just fine.

"Threadripper"' is a loving awesome name and anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong. It's like the Assmann Corporation of America.

I really think they should just be re-using the old names that people remember well. Athlon. Opteron. But what do I know.

SourKraut posted:"Threadripper"' is a loving awesome name and anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong.  Ryzen and especially Epyc are pretty bad, but Threadripper is so cheesy it's awesome. I'm old and remember 'Pentium' being a new thing, and it sounded pretty terrible until people got used to it.

"Zen" was nice, but "Ryzen" is just silly. "Threadripper" is confusing as 'ripper' implies destruction, which I'd associate with negativity. Epyc is just silly. If it were up to me, I'd have gone with "Zen", "Zen Plus" and "Zen Pro" but apparently AMD prefers the marketing companies that brand protein powders.

Someone who actually watched the AMD presentations, is it supposed to be pronounced 'rye zen' or 'risen'? I can honestly see it going either way, especially if the former implies they found peace via alcohol.

They kept on flogging that Zen was supposed to be a "new horizon" for AMD So, somewhere between the two, I guess.

Looks like Ryzen really likes RAM speed for  loads.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZS2XHcQdqA#t=128s Not the most reputable source but anandtech posters seem to back this up, increased infinity fabric speed (= higher RAM speed) increases Zen draw call performance *a lot*, so much so that a 4 Ghz/3600 Mhz CL16 Ryzen system suddenly becomes competitive compared to a 5 Ghz 7700K. If AMD can address this with Zen+ things are looking pretty good.

Considering it's 'Zen' and how 'Ry' is usually pronounced, there's only really one pronunciation that makes sense, 'rye zen'. Unless you've got a really bad accent, I suppose.

I bet they could manage it if it used a heat pipe cooler that pulled the radiator higher off the board to allow DIMMs to fit underneath. Would still be an absurdly thick board. It's not that different from what the server OEMs pull off with their blade architectures.
