Summary
It seems that Intel was not telling the full story when it compared the Core i9-12900K against the Ryzen 9 5950X, currently AMD's most comparable processor. As it turns out, Intel allowed the Core i9-12900K to consume 2.4x the power of its AMD competitor and benchmarked the Ryzen 9 5950X using an older version of Windows 11 with AMD performance issues.

 This kind of behavior is nasty and only damages their reputation more for those who care. I'm sure some will miss this article and still believe the original quotes from Intel . The fact that misinformation is getting everywhere is worrying.
 
Also 240W vs 105W is quite the difference, around 228% more power draw.

I'd just to remind everyone that a lot of Intel and AMD processors have built in TPMs.
On AMD it's called a fTPM.
On Intel it's called a PTT.
 
It can often be enabled in the BIOS and you can check if it's working by opening up the start menu, typing in "tpm" and clicking on the "security processor" thing that comes up.
 

 
 
 
Or if you prefer CLIs, you can open up powershell (as admin) and type in:
get-tpm
 
It should say:
 

From a business perspective.
 
If I'm shopping for an Enterprise laptop right now, I'm looking for AMD CPU's. Better thermals and Performance for the price, I'm missing some the of the Intel Features, but its worth it.
 
Dell has a very limited selection of business grade laptops that have AMD chips inside them. But I can get Thinkpad X, T or E model Lenovo's or HP Probooks with Ryzen CPU's no problem. (Supply issue aside)
 
On the Server side, Dell has a decent selection of servers that support EPYC.
 
Why should I pay $1600+ for an XPS13 when I can get a better X1 for $1400, starting model(No Feature parity)

The DSLR market has been shrinking for a while now and is going to keep shrinking.
 
From 2014: https://www.eoshd.com/photo/market-dslrs-shrinking-dramatically-canon-nikon-blame/
 
The fact that most people are happy with the good enough camera's that are on phones is one of the factors shrinking this market. I don't think its going to kill it tho. Its going to become a specialized market instead of a general consumer market. Hell think of the last time you went to a tourist spot, most of them are using their phones, not a point and shoot or a DSLR.
 
My Pentax K series still kills it compared to an Iphone 11 or Oneplus 8.

I've had no issue with the drivers for my 5700 XT.
 
Physically though I've done the following:
tighten one loose screw on the cooler bracket. it was quite loose. recently removed the piece of metal in between the 2 slots needed for the 5700 XT. It was in the way of one of the exhaust. This has dropped the temps to normal levels and the fans are quite less noisy.

I'll say it again, my RX 5700 does not suffer from any of the issues on the fixed lists or the known issues list. 

So what the headline said except the exact opposite, it’s FOX.
 
this does seem to be a theme with news here.

I've got good news for you, you can use these no issue https://www.startech.com/ca/Cards-Adapters/Laptop-docking-stations/usb-c-mini-docking-station~DKT30CHPD
 
 
Its what I assign everyone here with E495 or E595's.

Huawei has been in the server world for a while now, selling mostly in asian markets, so this would be their entry in the PC market. It looks like they are targeting the Entreprise side of things. The LOM port seems to be a SFP+ port but I am having issues find the documentation on it.
 
With China going away from American made computers and computer parts, these Huawei PC's would fill in the gap.

Personal note:
With better drivers in the future and Undervolting we should be able to get some nice boost from the RX 5700 series. A bit like the Vega 56, which started low and ended high. Getting a partner RX should make this even more appealing as cooling will be exponentially better.

When you really begin to regret buying Radeon VII early..I could have really done with this because it looks great. That division 2 bit at the end is SO sharp, I couldn't believe what I was watching. Nvidia have spent a bucket load on the blurfest known as DLSS and AMD just release a simple sharpening algorithm and beat it.
 
I might trade my Radeon VII down the line for the new Navi flagship (5950 XT or whatever it'll be called) because that feature is tasty.
 
Navi is just getting better and better. Anti-lag and Radeon sharpening have both exceeded expectations and aren't what we thought they were going to be. If it weren't for the blower cooler, they'd have knocked this out of the park.

Yup, we're done here. If you're gonna act stupid I'm gonna treat you like you're stupid.

I think it has more to do with their chips varying alot in power requirements. They'll try to strike the best voltage/frequency balance for all cards but that'll mean there will be some cards that require less voltage that will benefit more from undervolting and other cards requiring more voltage that will benefit more from overvolting. Then you'll have those cards where the gpu power requirements are right in line with what AMD defaults it to, meaning you lost the lottery for extra self discovered performance if you get one of those 
 
The reason we don't see this with Nvidia is because they have so many different SKUs of a specific chip so undervolting and overvolting is alot less striking. 

Can confirm that in Belgium the cards got a price drop before they reach the retailers.
Our supplier just contacted us saying both cards are now 50€ cheaper before tax than they were announced.

This answers the question, Are we getting more variations of the Vega architecture? Yes we are.
 
My guess is the R5900 will be aimed at the 2080 TI and 4K gaming, while the 5500 would be aimed at 1080P gaming.
 
These leaks are fun!

I think you missed @pzspah's point, which was that the rumors you are disappointed over did not come from AMD at all.  They were propagated by third parties with no affiliation to AMD or any AIB partner.
I'm pretty sure those are just dual-fan GPU models.

AMD RX 5700:

 
Looks like today is leak day. All these new products are going to make picking a new GPU quite harder. As an enthusiast I am absolutely happy we are out of the tech rut we had in the past two years. I have no reason to keep my old 290 now.
 
Enjoy
