No? Nobody cares about Zen rumors? The newest one is the 2015-2016 roadmap: http://wccftech.com/amd-2016-14nm-cpu-apu-zen-k12-product-roadmap-leaked/ If I'm reading that correctly the 8-core "Summit Ridge" chip for desktops will not have an integrated GPU.

FaustianQ posted:Samsung and Nvidia? Maybe Qualcomm? As above, VIA is still floating about but I have no idea how they get to use x86-64 so it could be moot. VIA had patents which they used as leverage to obtain an x86 license. Under the terms of the agreement they can't make chips compatible with Intel sockets.

So even Intel can't push forward. Moore's Law has hit the wall on silicon. Edit: D'oh I said the exact same thing in the Intel thread already. Having lived through more than 30 years of it, it's actually rather sad to be at the end. Rastor fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Jun 24, 2015 |

quote:The shortfall was blamed on weak PC sales, along with a one-time charge for pushing more of its chip production to newer manufacturing technologies. I think Dr. Su is doing the right thing making the jump to newer manufacturing technologies, a side effect of which is a hit to the earnings reports in the near term. Of course the FinFET products can still flop, but at least there's a chance there for some success.

Apple has been pushing 5K displays and therefore needs significant GPU power. Getting an x86 plus significant GPU power into one chip is like the only thing AMD can do now. Apple also likes to use multiple sources / get part sources to compete with each other on general principle.

I've seen some speculation that this means they're confident in the Zen performance that it won't be outpaced by the previous generation as happened with the construction cores, so that's good news. As for Kaveri / Godavari though, there remain very few use cases where they are the best choice.

Boris Galerkin posted:If it makes you feel better I work in a research group of non-programmer types who use an in-house code/library to do our research and one of the "programmer dudes" just set up a git server for us since we didn't have some kind of centralized repository. It's set up on his work machine and I asked him what the backup solution was when I started here because I know for a fact our work computers/laptops don't have a routine backup system. He shrugged and said there is none at the moment (and there still isn't) and thinks it's not a big deal because git keeps a local version on your computer so there are backups on everyone's computer I would actually kinda sorta back up the programmer dude on that, any person's local git repo could be used as the base of a git repo going forward. Still, it's always best practice to have backups.

KingEup posted:Hey folks currently looking at building a mITX DOTA2 box and it has come to my attention a single AMD A10 7870K on its loving own i.e. without a dGPU will probably take care of things at 60fps on high at 1360x768 (which is my monitor's native resolution). Well, pienipple posted:Currently Intel's single threaded performance is significantly better than AMD's. Same for power consumption, comparable Intel chips run much cooler than their AMD equivalents. Yeah AMD's current processor lines are difficult to recommend. But, if you're on a tight budget, I can understand why you are looking at them. Did you say what budget you're working with? (Although really this is becoming a conversation for the parts picking thread). If I had a bit of budget and tight space, I think I would be looking at something like this. Even tighter space, I would be looking at something like this. I think we are all rooting for AMD to pull a rabbit out of the hat with their new designs starting early 2017 (end of this year in servers).

Twerk from Home posted:This smells like complete bullshit, maybe Apple is examining this just to strengthen their negotiating position with Intel, but what Zen looks like it will be good at is not the segment Apple lives in, and I'd bet that less than 5% of Macs even have a dedicated GPU at all. The meat of their lineup seems to be Macbook Air / Retina Macbook Pro / Future ultraportable Macbooks, all of which don't have the TDP for any mobile GPU beyond the integrated. I can definitely imagine Apple using APUs in Mac Minis, iMacs, and laptops. But yeah, the first Zen chips off the line will not be the APUs that would be suitable for those. And Apple is never going to buy enough discrete GPUs to affect consumer GPU availability.

Paul MaudDib posted:You say that, but it's happened. The reason there was no R9 285X in the R9 200 generation was because Apple bought up literally the entire supply of Tonga XT for iMacs. Supply only caught up during the R9 300 generation (as the 380X). Yes but I'm making the assumption that Apple would not make a new Mac Mini or iMac with a discrete GPU.

Somehow we were approaching the "fundamental size limit of the atom" or some such utter horseshit back in 1989 and and every year since then. Somehow we manage. It's not about size of an atom, but we really are reaching fundamental physics and engineering limits of what you can do with silicon. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/moores-law-really-is-dead-this-time/ Sorry dude.
