except it's not the TIM that is the problem, it's the z height between the die and the IHS
but, no matter how many times this is told and repeated, here, on Anand and everywhere else ... you blame the TIM

this is not entirely unexpected
game developers and game engine developers have shown little to no interest in supporting multi-GPU configurations, so this shouldn't be of any surprise
the baffling thing is that DX12 MS went out of their way to support and implement mixed GPU setups in the API, although no one actually has a game engine that supports it
my guess is that few generations from now, SLI and CFX will be removed altogether

except you haven't took into account VAT
Vega64 will be close to 800$ in EU

Ooor the searches went up because people decided to do more research on suicide as a result of the show.
 
Anyways, aren't the discussions around this show way over by now?

some nVidia cards got better results with new drivers - fuck that, boo nVidia
some Radeon cards get better results with new drivers - AMD FineWineTM
 
because logic

Those dies cost money, the wafers they're cut from are not cheap, the indium soldering process is also expensive, indium only wets to gold, gold won't wet to silicon either, you have to vapour deposit I think it's vanadium oxide then titanium and then gold to get the indium to stick to the silicon die, and the IHS needs a gold plating, and indium isn't cheap either, that is a lot of expense for two dummy dies, I'm not totally convinced. 

Over the top clickbait title, because why not.

Here's the top line information:
Revenue: $14.8b Profit Margin: 61.6% Net Income (Revenue - Taxes - Expenses): $2.8b  
AMD's numbers:
Revenue: $1.2b Profit Margin: 33% Net Income: -$16m  
"The company says that the operating profit growth was due to "improving 14nm costs" (manufacturing yield improvements), a "richer product mix" (selling more of its higher-end parts), and "lower spending" (cuts in operating expenses)."
 
Basically Intel is crushing it pretty much everywhere: laptops, datacenter, modems (iPhone), flash memory (NAND was very profitable due to the shortage, XPoint is dragging those numbers down a bit because it's new technology).  Intel could go on a 1 year vacation doing absolutely nothing and have more money in the bank than AMD generates in total revenue.

Open source will always have my back. Go AMD!!

I'm not surprised, considering Ryzen is absolute garbage.
 
And 'Threadripper'? Who the fuck needs that many cores? The 22 core Xeons have enough power on their own, so why even bother?
 
Seriously, Threadripper is just 4 desktop dies glued together,

well, duh!
 
AMD only stayed relevant because of the mining craze and not because of the Ryzen launch
I'm sorry that all these people who think Ryzen is even relevant exist; or that they actually believe Intel is "scared" of Ryzen - they could give less of a shit
Ryzen come and went, Intel will continue to launch new products and make technological advancement while AMD will still be playing ketchup
 
I also saw a few people who jumped like burned when Intel told the world Threadriper was a glued together CPU - absolutely and utterly true; AMD went and put 4 (!!!) dies on the same package; utterly laughable when you realize some of those dies aren't even working

on Amazon what? US ?! ha! only if the US actually meant the world and only if that spike in sales was actually not for few weeks
have you checked AMD's latest financial report? where all the chunks of profits came from? GPUs ... hello

you forgot to add VAT to the Vega - those prices you see there in Sweden include VAT

It will be less because of tax so it should be closer to 600 for air and 750-800 for water

well thats going to make this whole thing EVEN WORSE lol

AMD "asked" him to take the video down
 
 
why? simple: Intel was 100% right when they said Threadripper was a glued together CPU

I WANT SO MUCH

I waiting for the massive disappointment this is going to be. I love all the people that are hyped. This is going to be like election night for Hillary voters.

My new pc is not booting into Windows. When the Windows logo pops up it restarts the pc. my specs:
 
Mobo: Aorus X299 Gaming 3
CPU: New Intel i7 no idea witch one
RAM: Some G-Skill set 4 modules
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti
 
When i turn on the pc there is a orange LED on the MOBO.

This is how you know it is going to be a flop. If they don't even care enough to live stream it.

poor nVidia
now they're busy debating on how high they would start selling Volta based cards
