kliras posted:Grain of salt, but going up a node for a console revision is interesting: I suspect 6 nm should just be an updated version of the current 7 nm, possibly a half-node, so it's not going up a node. I guess it's just going to be too expensive to get a full shrink to 5 nm in the foreseeable future.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's still mostly just Apple using the 5 nm process at TSMC. Consoles should be on 7 nm with the rest of AMD's stuff.

You have coil whine on your console? That sucks! I have that on my old Wii console when it's in standby mode (red light), though not when it's on or in that semi-standby mode (yellow light) where it could receive updates/messages over the Internet back in the day.

gradenko_2000 posted:when did lithography become a marketing bullet point, anyway? Was Intel bragging about its 180nm process for Netburst processors? Did AMD brag about finally moving to 32nm after K10? I think sometime around 28 nm both Samsung and TSMC (and probably GlobalFoundries?) started drifting away from fairly standard naming schemes on their processes and adjusted the numbers a bit for marketing, which made them a lot less comparable to Intel who generally stuck to reasonably process numbers (except for the 14+++ nonsense).

Paul MaudDib posted:man, this is a bummer of a comparison. What resolution and refresh rate is your monitor, anyway? As far as I can see on Wikipedia, Displayport 1.2 already supports up to 17.28 Gbit/s, which should allow for 1080p @ 240 Hz, 1440p @ 165 Hz or 4K @ 75 Hz. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Resolution_and_refresh_frequency_limits

Paul MaudDib posted:Acer X34GS, 3440x1440 @ 180 hz. This is effectively full utilization of DP 1.4. Ah, yeah, then it makes sense. Those high refresh rate ultrawide monitors do use a lot of bandwidth.

Maybe if they manage to squeeze in a 32 core CPU on AM5, otherwise 170W TPD seems kind of out there.

taqueso posted:170W is just the design maximum of that socket right? That could also be the case, yeah, to account for turbo power draw and such.

B-1.1.7 Bomber posted:If you had a Duron, and didn’t unlock it with a pencil, you never really had a Duron. Now I'm having flashbacks to FSB overclocking my Duron and burning out a floppy disk drive because the PCI clock was not separate from the FSB clock on that particular motherboard and ended up being higher than the floppy disk drive could handle. Also, I liked Duron as a name.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:Thats still weird to me they're going to be using 7-6nm for IOD apparently. The top Epyc SKUs already have a rated TDP of 280W and it gets far less practical to go much higher on standard server air cooling. A lot of customers and server makers are not exactly thrilled if you start suggesting that they may have to watercool servers with all the added headaches that can bring. Adding PCIe 4 seemed to raise the power consumption of the I/O die, limiting the power budget available to the cores, and if they add PCIe 5 the same thing could happen again. It's possible that this is also part of why they are working on the stacked cache dies, if it allows the I/O to use less power some of the time and makes that power budget available for the actual cores instead.

WhyteRyce posted:I got a B550 board at the beginning of the year. Am I going to have any issues needing to update BIOS on it before it will boot with a 5600G/5700G? Your motherboard's support page should have a CPU support table where it will usually say if a specific BIOS version is required for a particular CPU/APU. It's likely you will have to update, though.

Lord Stimperor posted:I think I'll draw a line under this the coming days. I'm pretty sure it's neither the memory nor the SSDs, as swapping/removing them does not change anything about the behaviour, and I've been able to partially memtest one of them for four passes (Internet says 8 passes minimum for confidence but that takes days, and physically swapping them and not seeing a difference points to other sources anyway). I have a B450M Mortar Max and it's very nice.
