COMPUTEX 2018 news and hardware

Still crazy large… Dual GPU. It shows that it takes large ones…

So yesterday Intel revealed 28 core CPU… Today AMD responded with a 32 core CPU…
I like where this is going :smiley:

So finally “budget” hardware virtualization?

That is not a new chip, they just binned $10.000 Xeons like crazy to find one of those unicorns and basically burned it for the demo, screaming “WE STILL RELEVANT !!!11!!one” And a day later AMD is like “yeah, we’re gonna sell 32c TR2 to you in like couple weeks. … GG Intel.”

So consumer SRIOV?

I don’t think those cards will be much cheaper than the WX counter parts.
And I don’t know if you could even buy those as a consumer.

There is stuff out there that will only do rainbow. I dont get it, but it exists.

Mh, can’t remember I’ve seen anything that wasn’t configurable, at least not at the moment. Most stuff has the rainbow as default settings if it’s not configured though.

Now you’ve seen something

This is actually pretty neat

Also TR2 goes on the same boards as TR1. Upgrade if you feel like it, or don’t!

Thank you, Colorful for being… Well… Colorful, thus justifying my point for RGB…

Looks like I am building TR1 and not two I am guessing 24 and 32 cores would be a little out of my price range. 16cores here I come!

I don’t know, since Ryzen 2000 has dropped off from 500,- to 330,- MSRP for the highest end model … I would wait.

No they are way behind. Z370 has 24x 3.0 lanes off the chipset whereas X470 only has 8x 2.0 lanes, so it’s much less flexible.

Well I think your wrong. My motherboard has x16 gen 3 to the cpu and that is split to 8 if the m.2 is filled. I have two m.2 gen 3 directly to the cpu.

I’m talking about the chipset lanes, not the CPU.

My bad.

Uhm, yeah, for the 28c …

Well, guess depends how you use the lanes, but everything going through the chipset is kinda… meh. I mean, for a lot of small-bandwidth devices surely it’s useful, but everything else… meh.
