TR Salaminizer.
Maybe they hired Cyrix marketing department?
I still donât think âEpycâ is that bad.
In any case, people buying this gear are likely talking to Cisco, DELL, HP, etc. and chasing a box to suit a spec. Hopefully. Theyâre not shopping on pc parts picker and picking individual components. Theyâll be picking things like âCisco C seriesâ instead.
The price:performance ratio is that impressive that Iâm sure theyâll sell plenty of EPYC cpus in things like storage read heads, VDI servers, etc.
I still think AMD should have called socket TR4 âCoreRipperâ
coreripper doesnt sound nearly as eypc as threadripper though XD
Nah, but its a pretty severe dig at the i-X series
Then the socket would be CR4⊠Not TR4âŠ
Is there anyone else left but me?
People are doing RGB lighting in their houses nowâŠ
People voted Trump president. People followed Hitler, people still talk how theyâre going to fuck your dad and beat your mum so both of them feel badâŠ
My point being, people are idiotsâŠ
I heard videos are now in RGB.
AMD Q2 results talky thingy:
Headlines:
- server/workstation 7nm vega samples are out, launch expected in 2018.
- 7nm epyc on track, launch expected 2019
- 7nm ryzen after epyc launches (but itâs not âfar outâ)
- both TSMC and glofo are considered suppliers for 7nm, 7nm epyc (aka Rome) is produced at TSMC.
- 5nm looks promising, but 7nm improvements are expected (i.e. 7nm+, etc
)
Pretty good report⊠really hope they can take some steps forward to paying down the debt. If they could pull off paying 75 to 100 million/quarter against that over the course of the year it would really help their position.
Given 7mm EPYC is made up of 7nm Zepplin dies iâm sure they could launch 7nm Ryzen before EPYC if they wanted to. But may as well use those parts in higher margin EPYC if there is demand, and given theyâre launching EPYC first, sounds like there isâŠ
Itâs not just the profit margins. They have target market share on EPYC for the end of the year. Also there are some certifications, that will soon be completed and EPYC will be fully open to all kinds of enterprise and server markets. And 7nm is actually a very strong selling point.
Basically if again they exceed expectations again with 7nm EPYC that will boost their stock price even more⊠And there is also the profit marginsâŠ
Looking at the slides from the financial quarter investor meeting, I am very disappointed in the fact that we probably wonât see any new big gaming graphics cards for a while.
Seems like all we are getting for the year or 2 are going to be a bunch of mobile chips. Was hoping for an upgrade to the vega 64 to try and push nvidia a bit but seems like that wonât be happening.
âLeaked benchmarks show Intel is dropping hyperthreading from i7 chipsâ â and other reports based on the same source â suggest that Intel might be going the opposite direction on the desktop.
Maybe HT/SMT is desirable (a net positive) on CPUs with †6 cores, but just added complexity with marginal benefit on CPUs with ℠8 cores?
Eliminating HT/SMT also addresses a few security vulnerabilities.
Are you comparing the RGB craze with Trump :D.
I mean one is clearly a fad that nobody wants, and the other is the president.
FtfyâŠ
It makes sense but I would say the dies used are just hard wired to disable HT. All the complexity is there still. Some people say market segmentation.
Unlike AMD CPU flaws Intel gets a lot of notice on their flaws. I have a gut feeling Intelâs HT is broken and this is a PR âworks better with real coresâ ploy until Intel can roll out non broken HT as an all NEW tech.
Im old and not trusting but. Im often wrong but if I am not people with current i7âs needing to disable HT are screwed to i5 overnight.
Totally speculation stillâŠNot even a hint of this being a thing other than Intel taking a PR bath on neutering the next i7 CPUâs to be i5âs
Intel did say theyâd have Meltdown-fixed silicon by what, next year? I guess we figured out how they got it that fast.
