[UPDATE 2] AMD Making An Announcement On September 25th."You ain't seen nothing yet"

[PudgyAstronaut]

Has to be CPU/APU related otherwise why would there be a red (AMD) pill and a blue (Intel) pill. They're playing on the whole matrix theme.

 

#Nvidia Geforce was used in the first one... so that fact wants a word with you. Good observation though.

[jonesy]

New AMD SSD?

[PudgyAstronaut]

It's a Matrix theme. Morpheous gave the option to Neo to either choose the blue pill and forget everything or the red pill and go into the matrix.

 

Out of the matrix. See it as it really is.

maybe both?

[MrSuperb]

So will they show us the "F9590" version of the R9 290x .... i.e. a GPU that draws 500 Watt alone because it is so heavily overclocked.

And obviously needs a AIO water cooler to keep it somewhat cool ?!

[PudgyAstronaut]

maybe both?

 

Or a 5960X beating CPU out of nowhere with a 390X gpu... becuase why not.

UPDATE :

Roy Taylor AMD's head of channel sales sent out a tweet a few hours ago. This is the same man behind the massive price cuts on the FX series.

I think it's interesting how he tagged nvidia geforce in his tweet.  I don't know, but it seems like a new GPU war and it makes sense considering the reference cooler design leaks.

where did anyone got sept 25? 

is it 100%?

[HippY]

but where does AMD mention that " we are going to host an event at 25th of September!"?

 

I could not find any reference, where AMD or anyone at all mentions that where or how the reveal will be down.

Everyone seem to shouting 25th, but with no reference or source....

"The new R9 390FX10350, our new flagship APU with 10GB of vram and 18 cpu cores, DDR4, perfect for 5K gaming! up to 5 way CF!"

 

this is going to be interesting

 

With a plot twist that it requires 3 power cables from 3 different house's sockets to prevent socket meltdown.

Huh. You are right. No idea. Maybe it's a release to forums & news sites only? That'd be weird though.

I googled it and checked AMD site. it does not mention, only sites at news section

There is no time. I mean what do we now. 25th of september. What time? Where? Online streaming? Twitch ?

[CreativeTHC]

It's100% gpu, I saw few weeks ago in some of the Logan's videovideo, some massive new PCB for new gpu, the dimenssions are just nuts, but I can't remember more...

[NoobsWeStand]

This is why I love competition!

 

My friend was going to build a computer, and when the 900 series was released, i was like, "WAIT!"

[Katsu-K1L]

Please amd don't disappoint me ;(((

If you checked my later posts (after the tweet was made) you would see that I switched my observation to being GPU's.

yes, and ive you turn it on with not grounded power, you can feel your hair erect with the static

[JayD]

Instead of a new product that will probably be another APU, just make pricedrops. $350 290Xs to compete with 970, thanks.

[Opcode]

I'm willing to bet the all famous “Bermuda” GPU will make its presence on Sep 25'th. The rumored 4224 steam processors coupled with 4GB of 512-bit memory would be one hell of a behemoth ("you ain't seen nothing yet"). AMD would destroy Nvidia's GTX 900 series in the market with these cards if priced right.

Raw power? Its IPC is lower than QX9650's from 2007. http://i.imgur.com/hZzlaru.png (all cpu's at 2.8GHz)

50% more calculations per second than the i7 9xx? Lets not claim their IPC is 50% faster than nehalem which would be more than Haswell. Windows wasn't familiar with CMT, scheduling threads quite inefficient etc which was fixed a month or two later which gave a 30% gain at best but ofc it didnt have an effect on the single threaded performance. MS had to do the same for SMT for the Intel pentium that was released 10 years ago. You can read more about bulldozers issue; http://www.anandtech.com/show/7189/choosing-a-gaming-cpu-september-2013/2 (bulldozer challenge)

If AMD wants to be competive again -> push more IPC out of your chips. Or else it's just done with them or they can continue tricking people to buy their 8350 for twice the price of fx 4300 gaming performance and hope their fanboys will help spreading misinformation and linking the usual fabricated video which only idiots would take serious over the reality as proof. Pricing their 8350's just right below the 4690K to make people think its a good alternative is misleading marketing, nobody needs 6/8 cores for gaming, anyone who does productivity should have enough money to buy Intel, desktop is dying for mainstream use but no you get some 5GHz CPU pricing right below the i7 to trick people again without even being clear what motherboards will handle it. The 9590 never been any cheaper than i7's, the boards are atleast 150$ along with a 100$ cooler while still running freaking loud when you can have a 4770k/cheapest z87 board and an evo 212 for a lot less and noise.

They've been doing decent multithreaded performance/price wise other than that FX cpu's since bulldozer were overpriced gimmicks for 3 years long and now they're delaying their new architecture to 2016. Phenom came out in 2010? Which still has more IPC so after 6 years we finally got a real upgrade that hopefully has more IPC than a 8 years old QX9650. Thread title sounds so exciting, I'm expecting 150% more IPC well no you just see them moaning about their price/performance again; http://wccftech.com/amd-embedded-roadmap-2014-2016-leaked-insight-gen-apus-gpus/

 

The FX-9590 is the price of an i5-4690K right now.

The 8350 is about i3 price.

The 6300 is G3258 price

8.228 Teraflops of single percison compute!?

That's a lot of number crunching.....

More like that's a hell of a lot of heat and power draw...

UPDATE: It will be graphics cards, they are going to announce flagship cards (= set benchmarks) and the reveal will be in India tomorrow!

India? Great, finally something being announced in a relatively close time zone where I don't have to wake up at 3am to watch or gather info from.
