    Where Gaming Begins: Ep. 2 | AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Graphics Cards - 11am CDT 10/28/20

    "BGA substrate supply issue affecting everyone"? Sounds like something someone would make up. It makes no sense. Subtrate is usually FR4, which is PCB material. You can't run out of PCB material. Like if you do you can just get more within a week. Sounds like BS to me.

    Big Navi is coming

    However it would be nice for the consumer if AMD had a lead for 3-4 years from now.

    Big Navi is coming

    So I read the patent paper. https://adwaitjog.github.io/docs/pdf/sharedl1-pact20.pdf (it's a good read) Obviously take all this with a pinch of salt, but this new cache hierarchy yields quite a bit of better VRAM bandwidth efficiency for workloads with high data migration. Basically one of the...

    Who is looking to upgrade to Zen2

    I will be getting the 3900x for $499 if my x370 Gigabyte board is supported. I am on 1800x currently. A 1.3x higher single thread performance and 2x higher multi-threaded perf is a huge upgrade. It's not like I have to upgrade motherboard and RAM. So the price proposition is quite good imo.

    AdoredTV Discusses the Recent AMD Ryzen and Radeon 3000 Series Leaks

    Man if that R9 3850 is true.. 16c/32t 5.1Ghz plus 13% IPC uplift compared to Zen+. I am so going to replace my R7 1800x with it. This reminds me of the days when you upgraded the CPU and immediately felt your computer get snappier. We haven't had that since like 2010 or something.

    First Rule of GPP: Don't Talk About GPP

    They have actually paid $1 or $1.2B (in damages to AMD).. can't remember the exact figure now. But you can look it up in AMD's 2009 Earning Reports. It's there fair and square. However, it was a drop in a bucket compared to what AMD could have made and could have done reinvesting that money...

    First Rule of GPP: Don't Talk About GPP

    There will most likely be a legal action taken as a result of this. But even if they win the case, by the time the case is over the damage will have been done. Look at the example with Intel and AMD. Intel was clearly found in the wrong on multiple continents. But it wasn't until 2009 that they...

    First Rule of GPP: Don't Talk About GPP

    gtx780 was my last Nvidia GPU. Currently running a Vega rx64 Liquid Edition. Really happy with the card. I know 1080ti offers more performance for similar money, but I can report that the knowledge of supporting open standards and ethical consumer practices does feel good. Particularly when I...

    Where Raja? What's He Going to be Doing?

    Oh it poses more of a threat to Nvidia than AMD imo. Without the CPU Nvida could be completely locked out of Intel servers and Intel laptops. We're already seeing this with Kaby Lake G. AMD at least has Ryzen cores to offer competing solutions with. AMD has no marketshare now in datacenter and...

    Where Raja? What's He Going to be Doing?

    Not sure I think this is good for the consumer. AMD has never generated profit from their discrete GPUs (even when they had a superior product; Evergreen). This might be the last straw to cause them to abandon it entirely and only concentrate on their semi-custom business and APUs with it. Lisa...

    Raja Koduri, Radeon Technologies Boss, leaves AMD

    Intel and Nvidia never partnered. Nvidia sued Intel so as part of a settlement Intel had to license Nvidia's tech at a tune of $1.5 billion. Payments were being made until last year.

    New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom Discrete Graphics from AMD

    This is a much different class of iGPU from the one in Raven Ridge. Raven Ridge has 10 Vega compute units, while this thing has 24 Polaris CUs. So technically a 140% bigger GPU (Vega is a newer arch but we can ignore that for the most part). Also this product will have HBM2.. while Raven Ridge...

    New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom Discrete Graphics from AMD

    They were hemorrhaging cash like crazy though. Also these consoles are notorious for having razor thin margins. Consoles probably saved them, but only a year and a half ago when their stock hit $1.76 bankruptcy was still on the table. Zen and executing well since then have turned it around. They...

    New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom Discrete Graphics from AMD

    I am an AMD fan because, I like their business ethics better, they embrace open standards and open source and because as a hardware enthusiast they provide a much needed competition to the only one other company in their respective fields they compete in (GPU/Nvidia, CPU/Intel). This is a win...

    New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom Discrete Graphics from AMD

    AMD fans don't care as long as the product sports AMD tech and makes AMD money, while cutting Nvidia out of the market. As for your other points.. Intel approached AMD not the other way around (there is a reason AMD stock is up today).
