Stop mixing IPC and other metrics. It's all about latency to memory and core to core. Intel has better Latency with their Ringbus cpu's, Mesh has Worse. Meaning HCC chips like 7900x, 10900x, 10980xe etc have worse latency than their Coffee lake and even zen2. Amd beats intel in IPC across the...

Broadly speaking M2 is generally through chipset and at minimum 2 first are through chipset for first gen x299 due to Kabylake-X if they have 3 they may use cpu lanes and be non KBL-X exclusive. The m2's through chipset is a X299 specification On second gen motherboards we might assume this is...

absolutely not. unless you use AVX512 they will be slower than zen2, a 12 core zen2 will beat a higher clocked 14 core. Only arguments in My book is. X299 boards aren't that pricey. quite a lot of pci-e lanes (3.0 though) 4 channel memory for memory capacity. Avx512. My arguments against...

what's funny is that zen2 3800x matches coffee's 5ghz allcore 9900K in most cases, so you're getting 5ghz allcore intel performance from these and in games within short distance. appearantly the gap is gonna become somewhat smaller soon with new microcode (No miracles!) but it's already...

ehh nope :p your cpu is on holiday with that load..

at amd he couldn't do more interesting stuff. he's designed some risc based cpu's there too which have not seen the light so amd could just BAM Arm chip out. So he probably left cause he couldn't picture what was required a decade ahead in time and don't blame him, but Zen is definitely not...

many doesn't.. no. Meltdown, foreshadow, spectre etc require code to run on the machine. websites can do that :) This one requires network access, not exactly physical :)

the UI is .. whatever, as long as the list on the left hand side is there I'm happy. If they remove it and create big ass images for us with 400 games library I'll be angry as hell :P !

HX750, soon 11 years. 24/7, not a day without it powered on. Used hard for 10 years until I replaced it last year and gave my server it.

Not really. they have half the write performance but per chiplet there is no difference. Read is same, you read more than write so it's a non issue, I was worried of this but there is only one place where you see it and that's in Aida64 and memory benchmarks which show total throughput. If you...

From anandtech. The audience was all in unison with reactions with the when questions. sighs until she said what they wanted. 05:40PM EDT - Q: How is AMD approaching the workstation market? How does that pertain to threadripper? A: We love the workstation market, and yes there will be a next...

WHEA bug might be your issue, AGESA 1.0.0.3ABB should fix it (Fps tanking) even at 4Ghz a 3700x should be killing 4790K in singlethread performance even at 4.8Ghz easily, if something is very latency sensetive it's different story but we see that is very rare in pretty much every test. So I'd...

I have this, the vrm will need airflow with 3900X if pbo, but other than that I quite like it. Either have had more effecient vrm or better heatsink would go a long way.

This was steam forcing ubuntu to not do what they had planned more than anything. Also not using ubuntu.. They do not have linux developer positions open if they weren't dedicated to support it.

I'm in europe, it's not impossible.... Know of many who's ordered even two weeks ago and got it from caseking already. AMD said in earnings call they sell 3.5 X as much as the "not paper launch" zen+ so I guess demand is up there.
