It was a clean install of Windows on a machine that was built...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    Sorry but you're kinda wrong about that as well: Looking at DirectX 12 Performance in Ashes of the Singularity - SemiAccurate In this more updated version of Ashes of the Singularity, even the 5960x sees a literal doubling of performance in DX12. How is that no difference? I know that everybody...

    Leaked Patch Confirms AMD Zen Will Have 32 Cores Per Socket?

    I see people still subscribe to the whole "there's no way AMD impacted anything, DX12 was in development for 50 years in spite of the fact that MS themselves denied it before a certain point as did various software devs/companies" theory. I guess it's just a huge coincidence that DX12 and Vulkan...

    Leaked Patch Confirms AMD Zen Will Have 32 Cores Per Socket?

    They're not "revolutions" but they are indeed evolutions of Mantle. Mantle was never intended to be a full-on API with longevity (at least not in terms of being used for games past its introductory period.) DX12 uses Mantle code in it. Go look at the SDK's, much of the DX12 stuff is...

    Leaked Patch Confirms AMD Zen Will Have 32 Cores Per Socket?

    Vulkan, DX12, and LiquidVR all say hi! :D:D:D edit: And as usual the trolls come out spreading their headache-inducing ignorance in the thread. Anyone who honestly thinks this chip would target the consumer market needs to just leave every tech forum ever, for the rest of their lives. Maybe get...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    No point in having HBM on-die, especially on a consumer part. They're gonna be putting them on interposers just like what we saw with Fury.

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    I wish people would actually do like half a second of research before hopping on the doomsday train. It's been known for ages that Zen will basically be 8C/16T tops on the consumer platform. This is the latest roadmap from AMD and it clearly says "high core count." Unless someone will seriously...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    I'm not sure why people are thinking that Summit Ridge will ship out the box with 4.0ghz and higher speeds. I don't expect that at all, not for the octocore SKU's anyway, especially given the 95W TDP the processors are supposedly targeting. I think they're doing exactly what they said they are...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    Even if AMD does meet the 40% or greater IPC jump, there's still gonna be people bitching about it for contrived reasons as usual.

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    I have not seen any benches or figures given from users in regards to Excavator, unfortunately. Only some geekbench results. FM2+ is getting some Excavator Athlons soon but they will be locked-multiplier and most likely only released in limited markets (like China.) Bristol Ridge will launch on...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    Your expectations are not realistic. And even if Zen does launch in the ballpark between Ivy and Haswell, how is that not good? Broadwell barely had any noticeable increase over Haswell, and ditto for Skylake. Intel's last biggest jump in IPC and/or perf/core was between Westmere and Sandy...

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    Zen (in this case Summit Ridge) DID tape out already. A while ago, actually. The whole "Zen has yet to tape out" thing is a misnomer, the guy was actually talking about the server variant when he said it hadn't taped yet. That's why every time you see AMD mention Zen launching in 2016 they...

    AMD has officially announced "Wraith", their new stock cooler

    You didn't need to be able to read German to simply look at that picture for half of a nanosecond and see "FX-8370 AMD FX PROCESSOR WITH WRAITH COOLER" right there in your face. Next time don't be lazy and use Google Translate. Have a good day :).

    AMD Zen Rumours Point to Earlier Than Expected Release

    Slide from a recent earnings call Interesting how it says "on track to provide greater than 40% IPC increase over previous generation". They seem really confident about Zen. Glad they're not beating any drums about it to give off a Bulldozer-esque vibe.
