Die thailändische Webseite zolkorn.com möchte von "verlässlichen" Quellen erfahren haben, dass AMD mit Summit Ridge, der ersten Ryzen-CPU-Generation, nur Modelle mit vier oder acht Kernen anbieten werde. Die Webseite war auf der Taipei Game Show vertreten, wo Biostar seine AM4-Mainboards mit X370- und B350-Chipsätzen vorgestellt hat - wenn man auf solchen Events die richtigen Leute fragt, gegebenenfalls nach dem einen oder anderen Bier, kann man dort durchaus solche Informationen bekommen

apparently is from a "reputable source" according to the Taiwanese website zolkorn.com wich attended CES and might have had some contacts there

Spoiler

Is approaching every now and then for a moment that gamers around the world have been waiting for a long time either fans or AMD's AMD that had anxiously want real answers all together. For a family of CPU from AMD, RYZEN asked if the response before launching it. Considered to be a really good hot it is primarily a matter of strength. If AMD is based on what has been said over the years, including the removal of a press conference to reveal NEW HORIZON ago, it seems RYZEN of AMD is likely to do well as boasting. Said it is in force, up from the CPU IPC in their current 40% but it is still not clear as to the level immediately decide whether to or not. We still have to wait for an answer to. And by the time the textbook. From the information that has come out as expected at the end of the month. February, we would have the answer for sure.

For today, I have new information with each other a little bit. This information is obtained from reliable sources. One of the issues in question, one that continues to be debated throughout. For the number of cores / threads of the CPU in each family or each class. Which we know that in this age of RYZEN then, AMD has made a racist or strength in the market is the code that looks similar to the pattern of the market, Intel has split. Core i7, i5 and i3 by AMD will be divided into AMD SR7, SR5 and SR3 and the point is debatable. OK, SR3 and SR5 CPU family, it comes in the form of the family SR7 which is a major upgrade that it was clearly a CPU with 8 cores, 16 threads.

One of the reasons the issue became controversial because of that. Once we have come to acknowledge that AMD will have to produce a DIE CPU family ZEN or RYZEN only two forms namely DIE is 8-core and 4-core, so initially we would. I guess in a small RYZEN SR3 will be a four-core CPU in the course will be open SMT or simply said that Hyper-Threading. To make a trade work eight trade or not. No confirmed But something suspicious was the SR5 we are looking at how it will come out in two formats is 6 core 12 thread or 8 cores, 8 threads, and by including the speculations of the media. he came out of it looking like that will come in SR5 6 core 12 thread, but today I had a definite answer increasingly come together.

For a summary of the number of CPU cores, the number of traders in each class then. To come out here, I can not confirm 100% full, but it was the information I received is something that would be in accordance with the table top that's it, that's OK then RYZEN SR5 come. in eight cores, 8 threads, not 6 cores, 12 threads, according to the assessment, but somehow the SR3 will be the four cores and eight threads from where we see it. It is a remake cents to me. Because of that, you can choose to SR5 with 8 cores, it is ideal as a whole comes out, it will become one of SR7 fit by closing the Hyper-Threading to only have to sit off the court hassles. What

The one thing that may be a disappointment to fans AMD enough for someone who never expected to be on the cards in Crossfire or SLI looking at how we can work together in a 16x + 16x. certainly, but with the information we received, stated that the CPU will come with PCI Express 3.0 has a number of top players is 16x, so it means that the user Crossfire or SLI, it becomes 8x +. 8x instead, and with one more interesting is that in the matter of the past, which Overclock, AMD said it all along that there would be openness in this matter. But the information I received indicated that the motherboard chipset and B350 X370 only to be able to overclock the card in the A320 can not be overclocking.

So in terms of overclocking. If anyone ever look like that will be a small motherboard, CPU, then rolled save power by overclocking instead, it may not do it anymore. This at least will have to board the B350 and another point that may disappoint again. There is a possibility that To use the card. Crossfire / SLI It can be done on the chipset code X370 or X300 Series models only small ineligible.

So I went into a very long, but arranged to complete it. The event would have to wait. Only then wait to see that. It will come out on exactly how it came to this, then in the end it was quite a lot of conflict with previous data. But if it is based on the information I have been coming here. It is believed that both pleasant and not so pleasant, certainly, because it forms a market that Intel would like to do it.

i really hate rumors, only confirmed zen is 8 core one. we have to wait for the whole thing to be revealed. 

[Bananasplit_00]

i have heard rumors of a 4 core and 6 core since a long time back

[Levis95l]

Since Zen consists of 4-core modules, I always wondered what the 6-core rumours were about. Unless they'd disable two cores from the 8-core then.

I heard rumours of no 6 core SKU for a long time back as well...it was rumored to be something to do with how AMD now makes their CPUs in "modules" of 4 cores or something...

Why don't we just wait till AMD officially releases Ryzen?

Indeed. I suspected 6 cores might not be available due to the architecture arrangement. Well, unless defective 8 core SKUs can be transformed into 6 core SKUs without a hitch.  I mean it might cause trouble with other parts of the chip if two cores are disabled due to that peculiar arrangement.

yep, i really want there to be a 6 core tho, thats the one i would want if i was going to upgrade

That is far too logical.

Well this is LTT forums after all where the hype train never stawps

@GoodBytes 

 

thanks for the tag headup, i was unaware of that , im still new to newsposting 

[That Norwegian Guy]

Wouldn't be interested then. Unless somehow the non-HT 8-core is priced under an i5.

 

If not I'll just buy a used 3930K or later.

[Ensho]

Also has been stated that bios bugs are keeping the 4 core parts from launching in February and are going to launch in the late spring/early summer as well (I suppose alongside Vega).

Sure no problem! Don't worry about it.

i dont think amd would just throw away a die that has one core not working, they will probably have something, and that something is probably a 6 core.

i dont believe they would sell those dies as a 4 core.

Didn't they do something like this in the past.. selling 3 core CPU that has 4, where one of the 4 core was broken and disabled. I mean this is nothing new in the GPU space.

Oh yea , the famous Phenom X3 , a very popular chip ,

so popular in fact that amd sold fully functional quad cores as tri cores to meet demand wich let the demand rise further after people figured out how to unlock them

its done all the time, they disable cache sometimes, if some doesn't work,  even the 6950X is a 12 core with 2 disabled cores,  

[Doobeedoo]

I guess it will depend with manufacturing chips, it's completely new and so called 4 core modules, so I guess the bad ones on 8c and make it 6c then.
We'll see, it wouldn't be anything new like that. I'm interested in 8c 16t one myself. Though I wonder how entire lineup will be.

[Dabombinable]

To those talking about modules, that term only applies to their current CPU+APU.

CCX then.

[Sauron]

This rumour dates quite a wile back although this time it may be more accurate. Either way I wouldn't be surprised, this time around they're using 4 core blocks instead of 2 core ones so it's to be expected that running a 6 core SKU would be just as expensive as an 8 core one.

[Dabombinable]

Just now, Trixanity said:

CCX then.

That's just a fancy term for shared L3 cache. And its kind of a weird implementation as well.

Omg more official hype churning announcements from AMD this is why I hate them and Ryzen will be a failure.

 

Why release at all when in user benchmarks, Coffeelake is proven to outperform Ryzen and 1080Ti proven to outperform Vega? 

It's rumour and we don't have solid info to back up any of those claims. Even if both of those were true "price" is a thing.

AMD have always done this, back in the Athlon XP days you could buy an Athlon 1800+ and turn it into a 2200+ by shorting out 2 capacitors on the back of the chip using nothing more than a pencil.

[3DOSH]

That is not true.
