Uh, did he get this stuff early through retail channels or is he violating some NDAs here?
It is the 2nd in Germany.
Are you sure.. I thought Germany was on the other side of the International date late. Damnit me! It's only 4 hours to tomorrow there!Um... No
I would think it would be fine for him to do it. I don't think many test samples get sent back and if he's not giving other results until the weekend should be fine.Would an NDA typically cover delidding? I mean he's not showing any tests, heck we don't even know if it actually works but he just mentions that it seems to have worked.
The same as my thoughts. All he did was showed that it was possible to delid and what the TIM was under the spreader. It's not like we haven't seen plenty of other videos from others showing the CPU and such. It's likely that AMD didn't cover material design as part of the NDA and probably doesn't care if this kind of good news gets out anyway.Would an NDA typically cover delidding?

Hahahaha NICE! Intel really fucked up by putting cheap TIM on their Kaby processor. AMD's like, fuck that shit, were gonna solder these muthers!!

Let's hope it lived though we don't want too many dead Ryzen chips this early on.
If he's under NDA, its not really fine unless AMD chooses to ignore it. As for the test sample, he's probably OK because we don't normally have to send back test CPUs. Engineering samples are technically not ours but I've never seen a manufacturer ask for their CPU's back either. Another possibility is that AMD allowed this or even supported the video.
I noticed the separation in the solder too. This doesn't mean it's two chips though, as that's a long area to apply solder in one place.So it looks like the 8-core is a two chip solution? I'm not surprised but it's interesting. I suspected it would be.

Where are our Australian reviews?
Not a 2-chip solution, look at the die shots around here in the other threads.
EDIT: check here, someone posted a sexy pic or two about it:

the split in the middle is because there are TWO solder pads. he clearly says it in the video. it is NOT 2 separate dies.Yeah I was just going by the video, it sorta looks like a seam halfway down the die though it's hard to tell under the left over solder. So that must mean their 4-core solution is either going to be a full 8-core with half disabled or it's own production run.
