If I can't buy it and keep the data on it to myself, I'm not interested.  Privacy matters.
 
Yes, I know I'm the minority, which is sad.

Where’s Jim Keller’s Intel Secret Sauce Fabric to compete with his infinity fabric? ?

Despite PCIe gen 4 just now reaching mainstream and PCIe gen 5 being finalized only a few months ago, the PCI-SIG has announced they have begun working on gen 6.
 
 
 
If x570 is anything to go on, then chipsets will soon need a nh-d15

At this point I’d love to see marketing mm vs actual mm. Somewhere the Intel marketing department is drinking heavily because they weren’t allowed to play these games. 

I'm holding out for the roll out phone from sci-fi land.

Just need a good social score and party membership to get high end variants and overclock. Plus install an app so they can verify you aren’t using a vpn. And a tencent camera to monitor you while you sit at the computer. ??

2021 is probs about the time 5G will be widespread and affordable enough to consider bothering with it anyway?

Honestly, I am not even sure where to start on bullshit from telco/tv/media companies.

Automated sterilizing mist and odor neutralizers built into the design?

I'm expecting competitive $100-250 priced cards. Anything else is a bonus. I'm locked in on a gsync monitor. So please have some decent high end competition AMD. 

Maybe their TIM is a special compound made out of hopes and dreams.

jfc. first ryzen and now epyc. 
 
these names tho. 
 
zen and naples are way better names. 

And this will be used as an example of "the harm done by Wikileaks and whistleblowers". 

Better change the password on your luggage.

So a user on the r/AMD subreddit called tuxubuntu, made a great post about the very high (primarily L3) cache latencies of the Ryzen CPU. As always, take this with a grain of salt.
 
 
Apparently, the L3 cache on the Ryzen CPU is not a "standard" cache, but rather what is known as a victim cache. Due to the way the Ryzen CPU is built, by having 2x CCX (that is 2 4 core modules) essentially copy/pasted on the die, it means the victim cache is split in 2, one for each CCX module:
 
Full Ryzen 7 8 core die:

 
1 CCX module:

 
The issue then arises when a core/thread from one CCX module tries to access data from the victim L3 cache from the other CCX module:
So imagine one core from the left CCX try to read date from the mid L3 cache block in the other CCX module on the right.
 
So what does this mean? Crappy performance forever? Well not necessarily. One of the fundamental tasks of an operating system is task scheduler. That is the part that of the OS that controls all the threads made by software, and applies them to the different cores on the CPU. What Windows seems to be doing at this point, is to just spread threads out to whatever core, despite the needs of the L3 cached data by these threads. A quick fix would be to patch the scheduler to assort the threads in a better way suited for the Ryzen 6 and 8 core SKU's. 
 
 
As things stand right now, Windows are essentially mishandling/scheduling the threads on Ryzen, and this could be solved to a high extent (although not completely). Thing is, we don't exactly know how Windows treats Ryzen: Like a normal Intel CPU or like an old AMD bulldozer based CPU, however, a solution seems to be possible.
 
This could also explain the very odd performance behaviour of Watch Dogs 2. A game that can utilize a lot of threads yet performs poorly on Ryzen:
 
 
It is possible for a piece of software to override the OS scheduler, in deciding where each thread goes. As this game is made with the 6/7 jaguar cores in PS4 and XBOne in mind, as well as standard Intel cores, it is highly likely (though unconfirmed), that this game places threads in a way, that handles data on the victim cache in a way that causes a lot of cross traffic between the 2 CCX's, thus creating huge latencies at the cost of performance.
 
With AMD's recent announcement of coop with Bethesda for upcoming games, both for VEGA, but also Ryzen, it is my understanding, that these games will utilize not only VEGA/Vulkan specific tech, but also be optimized for multithreaded applications on the CPU side, as well as preventing this issue (one would assume).
 
Either way, with the Asus boards seemingly crapping the performance of both Ryzen and DDR4 memory giving wrong performance impressions and a non-supporting scheduler in Windows for this entirely new architecture, the performance of Ryzen has not had its final say yet.

These articles have been coming at a regular place with the utopia of apartment/town houses solving everything somewhere in the article. 

Because this is the internet. Someone will find something to nitpick about zen and then the internet will explode.
