As quoted here:
I totally agree. However, I believe not all CPU's are showing any sign of lasting damage - In a number of cases simply enabling all limiters as per Intel specification seems to resolve any stability issues.
(Coming back to topic)
The suspicion is Intel has binned more aggressively here. Board partners are now increasing voltage & decreasing current. (This can impact all-core boost/top frequencies, effectively converting the chip to a lesser version...
Shift Up uses the story mainly as a means to an end so it can bring Eve to beautiful new locations and have her square off against a murderer’s row of memorable bosses. This tradeoff tends to work more than it misses because Stellar Blade has...
If Nvidia does launch the 5090 and 5080 I’m 2024 Q4 as rumored I doubt AMD wants to follow that up in the sa,e news cycle with their 8700 and 8600 as AMD already said they are skipping the high end this gen. It’s just bad optics.
I am glad the margins are the same, given that there was a brutal 50% year on year reduction in gaming revenue
I understand microsoft has stopped xbox chip purchases temporarily (until whenever the 6nm refresh launches I guess)
Sony also could...
If greatly improves RT perf for RDNA4 pans out, I might be in for a 8700XT / 8800XT. We'll see what I can afford come autumn... I'm definitely going to be picking up a Battlemage card and that'll take precidence. Not interested at all in RTX 5000...
That sucks. I was hoping to be underwhelmed by AMD riding Nvidia's financial wake with a Minimum-viable-product a bit sooner than that.
Despite my gripes, I like having options... even if nobody really choses the distant second option...
Could just be the wording but that undersell just how incredibly hard it is to compete with a company like Nvidia at this, AMD is a really well run company with a strong CEO that seem to have their shit together, Nvidia is just incredibly good...
“Longer term, we see AI at the edge as a large growth opportunity that will drive increased demand for compute across a wide range of devices,” Su said.
Gaming revenue, on the other hand, declined sequentially by 32.6 percent and 47.5 percent...
So CPU's degrade as a result of overclocking, but you need pretty specialized equipment to measure the degradation...
...Yeah, no.
In the time I owned each and every overclocked CPU, by the time I was ready to pass that CPU on it was still...
To be fair (and I hate this) If someone offered you 10x the money for the same work, wouldn't you serve them first? Like Gamers seem like a publicity stunt or charity at the margins we're looking to pay.
I wish AMD took business machines seriously, but they don't. If AMD managed to get partnered up with Dell for something like the Latitude lineup that would be incredible.
But machines like the Zenbook just die in the office, they fall apart after...
1.6V is wild
Really looks like the "Baseline Profile" is a big ass-covering move.
Intel can't admit if they were overoptimistic with RL boost clocks (they'd be in a world of hurt), so they blast voltage so even the worst bins can achieve the...
AMD is "chip production constrained". They will just make less GPUs and more Epyc, MI300's. Dropping the high end RDNA4 also shows their focus. Their margins went up 3% last qtr.
Also console sales are down (probably because new refreshes are due: 6nm discless xbox & PS5 pro)
Decision time for Radeon & Lisa Su
Do they hold tight to precious margins or price the GPUs to move 🤔
Gaming revenue, on the other hand, declined sequentially by 32.6 percent and 47.5 percent year-over-year to $922 million, due to lower demand for PC GPUs. AMD’s CFO, Jean Hu, said the company doesn’t expect the situation to improve this year...
