AMD not releasing new FX CPUs Next Year

According to the latest AMD roadmaps, Vishera will continue to be the high end AMD offering through 2014. APUs seem to be their dominant focus. 

 

 

For a number of years Advanced Micro Devices has been saying that the future of PC microprocessors are hybrid accelerated processing units that feature both x86 general-purpose cores as well as highly-parallel graphics processing engines. As it appears, the company not only thinks that APU is the future, but even has no plans to update its FX-series of microprocessors in 2014.

 

 

 

Even high end servers will not get Steamroller. 

 

I for one am EXTREMELY disappointed. AMD really makes good budget offerings, but with Intel's combined push for efficiency and (slightly) greater performance, the situation is not looking good for AMD. Bulldozer came out to much panning, but Vishera came out to moderately positive reviews. While its power consumption was comparatively atrocious to Intel's, the performance, especially in multithreaded situations, was competitive. Trinity and Richland, both architectures with Piledriver cores, bring great performance and price. AMD also bruoght a 5Ghz cpu with Piledriver, and based on the purported IPC improvements on Steamroller, an 8 core FX Steamroller chip could bring some much needed competitiveness to the red camp. Alas, AMD does not deliver more. 

 

A competitive AMD is needed for Intel to not rest on its laurels. We as enthusiasts must support AMD, because the consumer needs them to push prices, performance, and innovation. Please, AMD, bring us new FX chips.

What if they made an apu with the power of the 8350 and a decent on board gpu would you buy it then?

Nope Because The whole point of power is because you have a GPU already no need for integrated graphics.

And to think I was going to hold off for the next gen chips... 3770K it is.

Same... I was waiting for like 6 months for nothing...

........

That's very disappointing :( I'm a big fan of the FX chips and AMD. I also want intel to have a reason to release something good.

Well we already kind of knew this was going to happen...

 

This^

You get it.

Nope Because The whole point of power is because you have a GPU already no need for integrated graphics. 

.... And what if having an integrated GPU actually makes the CPU side more efficient, and it can work together with the dedicated GPU in a strange form of crossfire. One that doesn't give 60-80% gains, but 20-40%? 

I'm just saying. The path they seem to want to go is where the APU basically works in tandem with a dedicated GPU to improve CPU efficiency. 

The point of an APU, in my eyes, is not to replace the dedicated GPU, but to enhance it.

No they need to make an apu with better performance(new architecture)....

Just hope they make something like an Fx chip(more powerful) that I can turn off the graphics chip...

What AMD are saying is "We are finally back in on the benchmarks, the 8350 is a great success, we have one of the fastest CPUs that will soon gain support from our amazing new GPU architecture utilising more cores! Let's stop for a year and let Intel get on top again while we focus on a much smaller market!"

Almost there. 

For low end only... But few years and APUs will be dominating...

So... You are saying you want a really powerful CPU with a moderately powerful GPU. Then you want to buy a very powerful GPU, and turn off the moderately powerful GPU. Which would make your FPS worse. Not better. 

You make no sense. None.

Unless some wizardry happens with Silicon and thermal dissipation in general, that aint gonna happen.

Maybe when we have Graphene or Light based chips. But on Silicon? No. We are getting closer and closer to how far we can push silicon based chips' efficiency. I'm fairly certain there's a wall we will inevitably hit and I feel like it will be soon. 

Putting a CPU and GPU on the same chip would just make us hit that wall sooner. If you want evidence for such a statement, look at what progress we've made with CPU's and GPU's in general in recent years. It's all about efficiency. Not just for mobile platforms, but on all platforms. 

Why do you think that is? That they would focus on efficiency so much? I think it's because that's the only direction they can go to get meaningful gains anymore.

I'm cool with this as long as they reserve an enthusiast moniker for really high end APUs. I must be kidding myself if I think that will really happen though.

 

An 8 core APU with discrete graphics built in...

 

One can dream right?

Desert Storm PC | Corsair 600T | ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ | AMD FX-8350 | MSI 7950 TFIII | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 | Seasonic X650W I Samsung 840 series 500GB SSD

Mobile Devices I ASUS Zenbook UX31E I Nexus 7 (2013) I Nexus 5 32GB (red)
