What Did I miss these past months???

DannyRyu

I kind of stopped following tech news for a long time and was wondering what the basic big things that happened while I wasn't paying attention.

I was following right up to the point they launched the RX480 and Ryzen was still called Zen etc.

Any big news? How did Ryzen come out, Rx 480 vs 1060 whichever ended up winning on performance?

rx 480 vs 1060 are pretty much the same - depends on the game pretty much ( dx11, dx12, vulkan ). Ryzen launch was successful on one hand and a failure for those who expected that it will beat 7600k and 7700k in gaming. Everything else like rendering, encoding and stuff like that it pretty much demolishes any Intel processor with the same price tag.

The RX 500 series recently came out and Intel is planning their Skylake,Kaby Lake-X CPU's,and The GTX 1080 Ti Came out as well and of course the Kaby Lake CPU's,on 2nd of March,AMD Released their Ryzen 7 1700 $329,1700x $399,1800x $499 which in somecases beat the 6950x and 6900k for 1/2 or 1/4th of the price,on the 11th of April,Ryzen 5 came out (1400,1500,1600x)

And there was another Titan Xpascal that launched like less than a month ago that outperforms 1080Ti but for 1200$ as always, yes this was a 2nd Titan X based on Pascal architecture.

So when did you stop?

A year ago, or 5 months ago?

I for one am actually think I am going to do an all AMD build. I also believe I'll buy one of the RX 580s. Not too much more expensive and I haven't owned and RX 400 series cards, so I don't think I will be too disappointed. lol

The Titan X Pascal was dubbed "Titan XP" due to the confusion with the previous TITAN X. NVIDIA afterwards released another Titan specifically named "Titan Xp."

Just to further increase confusion...

Im confused over Titan XP thing, I dont bother nor care

There was a Titan X (Maxwell, 900 series) and then they released another card under the same name. The LTT community called it Titan XP because of "Titan X Pascal." Then NVIDIA released a card called Titan Xp and so on and so on.

Also, NVidia released the Quadro P100. It's a Quadro version of the Tesla P100. It also drops SLI for NVlink. I am still waiting for gaming benchmarks with it. I have seen a couple but it was synthetic benchmarks.

You haven't really missed anything exciting. Things were released, people were upset, and life goes on...

Well :

-rx 480 and 1060 are fairly well matched. 

 

-Rx 470 launches as a cheaper alternative to 480. Nvidia releases the 1060 3gb ( less cuda cores than the 6gb) to combat it and the 4gb 480.

 

-rx 460 launches, and is underwhelming. While power efficient, it fails to beat the gtx 950 in performance.  It is a cut down chip. Msp of 109$.

 

-In August 2016, the pascal-based  "nvidia titan x" ( as opposed to the geforce gtx titan x, based on maxwell). It had 12gb of ggdr5x,  3580 cuda cores and has an msrp of 1200$.

It was unofficially dubbed "titan XP" by the community to avoid confusion. 

 

-In late 2016, nvidia released the gtx 1050 series, based on 14nm gp107. It has similar performance to the 960.

 

-in February 2017, intel released kaby lake on 14nm ( basically an updated skylake, same ipc but better clocks). 

Notable SKU's are the i7 7700k, the i5 7600k,  and the pentium g4560 ( with 2c/4t)

 

-in late February/early may, nvidia unveiled the gtx 1080ti. It has 11GB of gddr5x, 3580 cuda cores and costs 699$.

 

-In early march, AMD released ryzen 7, their first chips based on ZEN. Retailing from 329$ to 499$, they were all 8 core /16 thread models with 16mb of cache. Ipc is similar to broadwell  as promised, however they all top out at around 4ghz, regardless of voltage. Availability at launch was good, but their were issues related to high speed ram, temperature reporting and power profiles. These were fixed however. Ram speed affects performance significantly. While it smashes intel's HEDT offerings in multithreaded tests (delivering performance similar to the 1000$ 6900k), it typically is around 10% behind the i7 7700k in gaming applications. Overall, it was deemed a success. 

 

-in early april, nvidia released the "nvidia titan Xp"  (note the small p), with 3840 cuda cores, at 1200$, effectively making the old-but-not-older titan X obsolete. 

 

-in early april, amd releases ryzen 5, going from 169$ to 249$. The slowest chips are 4c /8t chips, with the fastest being 6c /12t chips. They compete against the i5's in gaming, while wiping the floor with the mainstream core line in multhreaded workloads. 

 

- a few weeks ago, amd releases the rx 500 series. The 580 and 570 are effectively overclocked 480's and 470's, at slightly lower prices. The rx 560 is a fully enabled polaris 11, at 99$. It offers a better value than the 460 did. 

The rx 550, the only new chip, is targeted at low end users, as an alternative to integrated graphics. Typically seen around 80$.

 

-intel released optane a few days /weeks ago. Based on 3d XPOINT technology, they are marketed as cache drives, with similar bandwidth to nvme. 

They require a kaby lake system to function ( 7th gen core +200 series chipset). They go from 16 to 32gb and cost around 50-70$. Consensus is that they aren't really useful at the moment. 

 

-Amd vega is still nowhere to be seen. It will be released some time this quarter, and will have hbm2. 

 

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

Wow, didn't expect this much response, Thanks all! I think I'll try to keep a slightly closer look cause I may be upgrading in the near future!

Pretty off-topic but, BF1 They Shall Not Pass DLC is awesome. The graphics, operations, and just feel of the game is really great.
