actually AMD aimed for 25-30% increase in single core performance going from Steamroller to Excavator, but their final numbers was more inline with >15%...

 

http://anandtech.com/show/9319/amd-launches-carrizo-the-laptop-leap-of-efficiency-and-architecture-updates/4

so we can expect 20% real increase

still not to shabby, if they overclock well

hi. i need a budget SSHD from scan.co.uk

 

would be nice to get under 100 pound. well preferably under 100 euros if to be specific.

 

i found these. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2tb-seagate-desktop-sshd-35-7200rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-ncq-oem

 

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-seagate-st1000dx001-sshd-hybrid-hdd-35-sata-6gb-s-64mb-cache-8ms-oem-ncq

 

which one should i get?

you can get 47€ SSD and 52$ HDD

sshd isnt really a good solution... even for single drive systems.

 

the extra cost doesnt nearly line up with the rather small performance gains.

 

that 8GB ssd space isnt even enough to cache windows for that to boot up faster, which is honestly the only reason i'd see an SSD be used...

for a single drive, it does load up faster than normal HDD, but its also slower than normal SSD

so it make sense in that case

can you buy this?

its 40% over Carrizo... a product that is designed 100% for LAPTOPS...

 

in theory, it should be 55% over A10 7850k seeing as Carrizo is supposed to be 15% higher IPC then Kaveri (A10 7850k)...

Please, atleast get THIS simple thing straight.

pretty sure its not 15% improv, but still

you are right, if its true, it will be powerful as i7`s and 6c/12t variant will destroy i5`s aswell

What did IB and HW bring? a well OCed SB is still on par with OCed IB, HW and even somewhat to SL.

we got nice packaging with sky lake, thats the biggest leap so far

nah, there is some good stuff like 5820k, but as far as performance per dolla, or free cores, intel is very uptight

i mean, locked i3`s man... such wasted potential

I am more interested in reverse HT AMD is said to be able of. running 4 cores as 1 thread? That is some nasty single thread performance. Go figure.

Sauce? That would be pretty beast, scalable performance.

 

What we know about Zen is that AMD is promising a 40% IPC increase, which doesn't sound like it's enough to completely catch up Intel's current CPUs

this is simply not true

take 7850k, improve it by 40% ipc (you already have performance that can rival older i5s), add 4 more cores and 8 hyper threads  lets say around 2 normal cores worth of performance. (intel hyperthreads performance is about 2HT = 1C )

thats like 10 cores worth of performance of a10 7850k + 40% IPC boost + you can overclock for extra IPC

worst case scenario, we cant utilize hyperthreading for games, 8 cores of a10 7850k + 40% IPC would easily surpass intels i5

we know for a fact that ivy bridge i5 in some scenario looses to 8350 in multithread. add 40% improvement to 8350?

Ivy bridge destroyed. 

the arguemnt is not if amd will catch intel with 40% ipc boost 8 cores and SMT, the argument is if they are telling the truth.

same as intel claiming "up to 10% improvement every gen" blablabla

We don't know that yet, do we?

-Besides, the maker of it left, so we're kinda stuck at zen for eternity.

if AMD lied about 40% more ipc ( over a10 7850k ) then no

if they didnt lie, that means it will be up there with i7s

This is gud, resubbing to awesomesauce.

 

Case: Xigmatek Nebula Mini ITX Tower Case  ($60.99 @ NCIX US)

 

can that case hold a beer inside also?

looks awesome

the cool kids went with luke`s presentation   B)

looking forward for scrapyard wars

intel 

Guyz plz h8 but on wccf thee 4k and 1080p dx12 benches plus timings on one place

This is made in Unity? Looks more like UE4, damn.

not only that its incredibly scalabe and flexible

you can run todays unity games on 10 year old pcs

I see it that way too. If it performs very close to a 290 or similar. I'd get the 380x. Since it's a newer card. It is interesting to see what the performance of the 380x would be.

fully compatible with dx12 no? id take 380x any day

calculate what ur system would use at max gaming load + a little more

then duble that and buy psu that turn on fan with 50% load

that means, if you have overclocked i5/ i7 and whatevr single card , you can buy like g1 series 1000w and it will never spin and its cheap compared to high end seasonic

here you go

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g11000vr

150$ a little overkill, but fan wont spin

hold on this is even better

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g21000xr

well... they're working on source 2 engine, i doubt its only for updating TF2

no, behind valve is huge comspiracy theory, Sauce 2 is only a decoy, prepare your tin foil hats, gaben want your money and decieve everyone into hope

I found it!

It's called TREMULOUS!

had picture in my head, couldnt find name

yes, this i play this too

I take it back, I now have 500 to spend on everything besides HDD and ram, I am getting those from a friend. 

 

Any other builds that are possible? (better ones?)

sure, hold on to your pants

if you're not gonna give any useful input, please redirect yourself to reddit...

pcpartpicker incoming

i smell masive overkill and a r9 380 hahahhaha

I am happy people at least think what to preorder and what not
