zen2 has a high chance of being 6c per CCX making it up to 12c Mainstream, 24c HEDT, 48 Server

 

they already confirmed that the zen2 server part is going to be a 48c part. if it uses the same 4 die layout it would mean that a die would be 12c or 6c per CCX.

That is slated for 2018-2019

 

The other option is that the server CPU will be 6 dies and have 12 channel memory. 

If they do 12 core mainstream I think it might be similar to Piledriver; Ahead of its time. I think moving to 6 is great. Moving to 10/12 is too big of a jump

My brother broke his Turtle Beach headset and hes looking for a new one under $60 CAD. It needs to have a mic and have decent audio quality. I would have bought him Cloud Cores but they werent on sale. Thank you!

i believe EVGA is the only GPU manufacturer that is good with their warranty about removing the cooler. I'm guessing because they make water blocks for their cards.

Sapphire support is chill too. I asked and they said it was fine to apply new thermal paste.

Dude, its such an irrelevant issue it doesnt matter. I made the post about AMDs 2 biggest launches in the last year, Polaris, and Zen/Vega, but I didnt get a shoutout. I didnt complain. Its such a small issue dude.

If you are going to get anything bigger than the 10 core, then the market they are looking at is the Xeon market, which doesn't force you to use RAID keys, there is literally no reason to go for the 12+ core i9 parts, none whatsoever.

You say it's shit, but it's better than X299 price to price, and that means a lot for people who don't want to pay for RAID keys, etc.

The main market for X299 doesnt care about price, it cares about how much performance it can get, and when a middle teir i9 will theoretically beat the top Threadripper chip, Intel still has better performance

you pretty much just confirmed what he was saying lol

 

AMD dropped out of the highend GPU race after fury x flopped no one is saying buy a fury x, instead of a 980 ti wait to see what RX vega has to offer if they have two models the lower end on will be more on par with the 1070 and probably cost what you would have paid for that 980 ti with better performance, now how is that stupid? 

 

 

I wont be able to afford Vega. The only reason Im looking at a 980ti is because its only slightly more than a new 480 when its at normal price and I gained $100 after selling mine

To the point of having so much fanboyism for nvidia, that you think companys can do anything without money. 

My first ever GPU purchase was an RX 480 and I loved that card. Then I sold it, and am buying a 980ti because it makes way more sense then buying a Fury X. Im not paying more for a lesser product just to support a company. Its stupid. And no, Im not that stupid. Im saying if they make a bad product, they'll learn next time and make a better one.

Had Ryzen failed AMD would have gone under. They were leveraged to the hilt.

My mistake, should have said RTG instead of AMD.

No, their stuff was really good. Then budgets shrank, and AMD made a bad bet on Bulldozer. Without the sabotage they would have been able to recover from their misstep much quicker. Moreover, they probably wouldn't have convinced themselves that APUs were where the graphics market was headed.

Intel did pull a completely dick move, but AMD dropped the ball and screwed up. 

Just now, goodtofufriday said:

Not having enough cash flow is the explicit reason that they fell behind to being with. Starting with Intels sabatoge. 

And you know, their stuff sucked. 

Just now, goodtofufriday said:

Cant Make a good product with no cash.

 

I have two other systems - 6700k 1070 strix, 4790k 980ti. And then my main rig in my signature. So I don't only buy their products.

 

Cant make a card that can compete without cash. 

If their products arent selling, they will be forced to make a new card. Its not like AMD will have 0 cash in their wallets if a line of products fail

Just now, goodtofufriday said:

Where are they going to get the R&D budget with no cashflow exactly?

Making a good product

Just now, goodtofufriday said:

 is it fanboyism to want the literal only other competitor to succeed?

If you only buy their product, yes.

1 minute ago, goodtofufriday said:

If everyone thought like you then we would only have Nvidia.

No, AMD would be forced to make a card that could properly compete

Thinking like that completely ruins how our Economy works, where the best product gets bought the most, and the competitor steps it up to that level and vice versa. As was already said, you are basically promoting AMD to make mediocre products. 

Just now, goodtofufriday said:

If people bought 0% of a companys product, company goes under, then theres no competition. In this case leaving only Nvidia. I guess thats what you want then?

No, I just find it extremely stupid that you buy an inferior product just to support a company. Thats one word. Fanboyism. If these companies didnt hold their patents so stringently and made it so other companies could actually compete we wouldnt have issues like this. And you know, AMD could make a good higher end card for once too.

18 hours ago, goodtofufriday said:

And I do care. Which is why I buy their products even if its inferior. Given them my money and market share provides them with an increased budget for next year. What we need are more people investing into AMD with their wallets. 

I was just skimming through the thread and saw this. This is tbh the single most stupid thought I have possible ever seen. 

This is why my generation is doomed

Is your display cable hooked up to your GPU? I did the exact same thing today

iShops here are useless... Even if I bough one from the local carriers they still have to ship that back to the US before I can get a new phone.

I don't mind the os, I'm just not going to pat $2500 for an iphone here heck I wouldn't even pay that for the s8

Jesus, thats like triple what it is here

Android is very dominant

I agree it is but do have to comment on this. Its because cheap phones in 3rd world countries almos exclusively run Android. In most 1st world countries they're near 50/50

Just now, XenosTech said:

*shrugs* To each their own... Not buying anything from apple because they're expensive and the warranty is next to useless here so it's paying a ton of money to ship it back to the US to get it fix 9/10 times

Je suis Canadien so the warranty is fine here. I just like iOS better  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ probably the only techie on the forum but w/e lol

Just now, XenosTech said:

That's kinda the point of rooting your phone and changing all of that stuff. You know you can load a stock version of android and just skip samsung's shitty custom rom if you don't like it.

I mean like, I just find Android a pain, and I like the LG's because I find them comfortable to hold. I find Android super clunky and just dont like it

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

how do you know about the 95% of people think or use? 

Think for a second, if most people barely know how to use a computer, do you think a significant amount of people are going to know how to root/jailbreak a phone? 95% was a ballpark number, but you get what I mean

Just now, XenosTech said:

 

Fact samsungs and sony's are probably the easiest phones to customize, especially sony's since they give you a code to unlock the bootloader.

I just dont like it, I do like LG's. Just I find Samsungs UI a pain in the butt to use and I find apps can be a pain to use on it compared to my iPhone 

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

not the same 

Same in the same way 95% of people wont do it and wont need it 

Just now, nerdslayer1 said:

ok... personal preference than, just because you don't like it or know hot to take advantage of it, that really doesn't mean anything, you can root and make it anyway you like, custom ROMs to launchers, if you like the 4s the galaxy s4 has an easy mode. 

I can do that with iOS... Its called Jailbreaking

then you either don't have an android device or you have no idea what we are talking about. 

I have an S4 and hate it with a passion, I much prefer my iPhone 4s
