Radeon 7 support for mxgpu = big fat no no :( There are still unfixed hardware bugs in it which cause them to hang when shutting down when passed though under KVM too (just like Vega). Not heard of anyone trying to cross flash a MI50 bios onto an R7 either.... people have no balls these days...

I still can't find confirmation on MxGPU support, in the anand review or on phoronix (which surprised me) :( Now off to check AMD's website... lol

I've been waiting for MxGPU for a long time for use in my VM Server. I don't want to use Passthru Gfx this time... I want real virtualisation/partitioning of my GPU/s. Vega 56/64 was originally supposed to support it but the implementation was borked by AMD :( The MI150/160 support MxGPU which...

Maybe its because you Yanks have yet to catch up to the rest of the world when it comes to world wide standard weights and measurements that nobody has mentioned that there's several orders of magnitude difference between a 'micro' (meter) fracture and a hole apparently 2 millimeters in size...

No need for any hunch, the first version due out in less than three weeks is 'just' a PC, the 'console' version is due around, Nov :) Just a bit of a shame import taxes and postage hurt in the UK for goods from China :(

If their business plan is to try and appeal to hipsters who buy old Atari t-shirts they're fucking idiots. Most of those little dicks don't even know what an Atari 2600 is. As for purchasing a 'retro inspired' console which ISN'T cool in their eyes (someone please tell him) just ain't gonna...

Been rocking at 4.9Ghz for quite a while now (with a de-lidded 4570K). Seems a shame to retire her but z77 m-atx boards literally cost a ton in the UK. My CPU is crying cos' it's in a in intel Q77 mobo at the moment. Would love to build a new machine only thing really stopping me is DDR4 ram...

My Gene V has decided to start cooking itself :( Definite fizzing sound from around the CPU socket, CPU, GPU + mem all OK in another board and psu OK too. Can still boot into Windows on it. Board looks fine (socket pins fine etc) it's not CPU, memory or PSU. That discolored component is...

Investing and or mining is much closer to Forex spot market, which is still fiat (cash).

Rubbish, SATA and Ethernet I/O is just as much affected, NVMe will help but is obviously still affected the same as any I/O device, there's no way in hell I'm wasting any of my 32Gb now that's it's got CPU perf issues post patch, that would make things 10 times worse, my VM's need all the RAM...

Epic's figures tie in with what I'm seeing on my VM Server, except my figures are even worse (closer to 50% performance loss). If I don't replace the whole box the only real option I have is to move from a SATA SSD based ZFS SSD cache to an NVMe one, but even then the Ethernet access on the box...

Its a privilege escalation route from any privilege rouge app direct to kernel level, something to do with the dumb ass CPU saying where its hiding the kernel in memory when asked (smashes it wide open for bit flipping). Reading has been proven, writing hasn't.... yet. Give it a few hours. Not good.

This is bad, really bad.... My VM server is heavy on I/O and runs multiple DB's. If the Phoronix filesystem benches are anything to go by I've just waved goodbye to at least 40% of my server's total performance. I had spare some capacity on it before this, post patch I won't = New Server = A...

Fine, let EA raise the price to $120 as per that insane 'undervalued quote' from an analyst idiot. Even more people will just download a cracked version a couple of months after release (which co-incidentally is roughly the amount of time it takes to patch AAA titles so they actually work...

It makes no odds, doesn't matter if it's a shipping mistake or not. The first package was 'solicited', the 2nd clearly wasn't.
