IĀ“m very interested in the Gigabyte am4 boards this time around.
Iā€™m really currious to see what the 16 phase infineon XDPE132G5C pwm,
on the X570 Master can do. :slight_smile:

pretty swanky seeing that pwm used on consumor grade boards.

Absolutely serious, me too.

The Linksys WRT54G is so deeply a part of how I identify ā€œenthusiast routersā€, I need it to have tenticles or spider legs to take it seriously.

Didnā€™t Antec make a case that allowes to put a 120mm fan behind the mainboard to prevent that odd ball Gigabyte board from burning?
No thanks on Gigabyte.

Which Gigabyte board do you mean?

Just on the IPC gains (re: end of last thread). I find it interesting that for a while people have been saying that all of the low hanging fruit for IPC has been picked.

For AMD to get +15% from Zen1 to Zen2 after getting the +50% or whatever over bulldozerā€¦ and NOT be vulnerable to RIDL/Meltdown/Zombieload/etc. due to performance ā€œhacksā€ that intel have been doing, perhaps indicates that maybe intel have been sitting on arse. AMD with way smaller budget are showing them up.

I would have been happy with 4 more cores for same price at 10% higher clocks with zen2, but the IPC gains are gravyā€¦

A yeah the X79 UD7 wasnĀ“t their best board ever indeed.
Still a great idea from Antec actually.

Eh was hoping for more than just that

Yo @wendell, looks like the X570 Taichi will support Thunderbolt AIC cards. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/#Specification

No 10gbe fail

The 3900x for $499 is crazy. My will is being tested. Temptation is too strong.
