HAHAHAHAHA HA BURN.You know it was a good product teaser when all juanrga can do is nitpick about AdoredTV videos afterward.

It's juanrga being juanrga.
AdoredTV said launch. And WCCFTECH said launch. And several sites above the hype train said launch

If you watch his videos he had two thoughts on what it could possibly be, and his hope was for a chiplet based design with an IO die. His original leak/predictions in early December are remarkably similar to exactly how the ryzen 2 die shot looks.
As far as why only one chiplet is being used? Thats actually quite easy to explain. These are 8-core chiplets. It was speculated that the 8-core Ryzen cpu's without integrated graphics would be using 2 4-core chiplets rather than 1 8-core chiplet
It's entirely possible that instead of using 2 dies for a 8 core cpu. Their yeilds on Zen 2 are so good that they can afford to just use a single 8-core chiplet rather than 2 4-core ones and save the 4-core defective chiplets to lower end parts.
There is clearly space on the die for a second CPU chiplet or a GPU chiplet. I would expect for us to see chips in the near future that would use it. Whether those are going to be part of the Ryzen 3000 series is yet to be seen.
AdoredTV put out a video specifically saying ANNOUNCED, not launch. He called this out, specifically. I still think it wasn't even much of an announcement, though. More like a teaser. So he's kinda-sorta wrong on that.
It clearly stated TBA which is not launched that media have their own agenda in not being careful about material used is obvious.

Indeed it was a blanket statement from AMD of launching mid 2019 and no models were announced ...

You may have been saying that, but the rumormongers said CES:
I'll probably go with a 16 or 32 core one when they come out assuming the single core performance finally beats out a single core on a 3930k, most likely TR platform for extra pcie lanes.
With all the hate on intel, I think its pretty impressive that they have become so efficient at 14nm revisions that it has essentially matched the performance of a 7nm chip....
3700x it is for me if this is trueIt clearly stated TBA which is not launched that media have their own agenda in not being careful about material used is obvious.

Why juanrga do you state things which are so easy to disprove within minutes ?
What clock do you have your 3930k at? Mines at 4.8Ghz, which gives me a single core score of 163cb in Cinebench R15
This roughly ties a first gen Ryzen 1800x at stock clocks. (presumably it beats my 3930k when overclocked)
Second gen Ryzen 2700x beats my highly overclocked 3930k even at stock clocks.
Same as yours 24/7 with CnQ. 2700x beats it in cinebench, but not by enough to make it worth upgrading for me. If you look at other single core benchmarks like superpi 1m, the 3930k still crushes these, probably partially due to memory latency.

It's TSMC's process but yeah.AMD 7nm is considered to be roughly equivalent in size to Intel 10nm. One part of the transistor or something like that measures 7nm, the rest is the same as Intel 10nm. The names on process nodes anymore are basically only guidelines and marketing.

Rumor. The 7nm Ryzen used for the Cinebench demo was a Ryzen 5 qualification sample with the next specs: 8C/16T 65W at 3.7GHz base clock and 4.5GHz boost.
I feel like a huge thing people are missing that the powers listed are total system powers (180W vs 130W). According to Anandtech the chip power for the i9 is 125W but the AMD CPU is at 75W...
Same performance with numbers of core/threads at about HALF the power means some pretty serious increases in IPC or frequency.
Prediction is difficult when you don't know how far to push the frequency and IPC gain.If you extrapolate 2700x performance and use some common sense, ANYONE could have predicted these performance results with cinebench that was shown today.
Back in my day the CPU (IBM 486SLC2) didn't even need a heatsink...Back in my day we had 1 core, 1 thread and cooled everything with 8 fins of aluminium without these fancy "fans"...
4-core chiplet should be read as 8-core with (at least) four cores disabled.These are 8-core chiplets. It was speculated that the 8-core Ryzen cpu's without integrated graphics would be using 2 4-core chiplets rather than 1 8-core chiplet

Steve at Hardware Unboxed claims he's already been approached by a motherboard manufacturer about testing an X570 motherboard. That suggests the release might be earlier than may.We've already heard the x570 chipset will be released around may so the 3000 series at that time makes sense.
Someone at AMD confirmed there would need to be new chipsets for pcie gen4, but also that some (current) motherboards would support gen4 speeds in the first pcie x16 slot (the one closest to the socket. It wouldn't work for the other slots because the traces are too long and they need new drivers (or something like that, paraphrasing here).I am pretty excited by this. It may just wind up being my first CPU upgrade in my workstation in 8 years.
A few thoughts:
- It roughly ties (marginally beats) the 9900K in all core runs of Cinebench. That is promising, but I am more concerned with max turbo clocks when fewer cores are loaded. Can it keep up with the 9900K in loads with fewer cores? Thus far Ryzen has had a significant clock speed gap compared to Intel. I want to know if they have bridged it.
- Will be interesting to see where the final clocks wind up, when the process is allowed to mature for 6 months, and microcode is optimized. I wonder if it will stay pretty much the same as in this benchmark, or if it will increase. I doubt it will fall. AMD wouldn't do themselves that kind of disservice and cause themselves that kind of embarrassment. I bet they went with a clock for this demo they feel pretty confident they can hit at launch
- Backwards compatible with AM4 is nice, but I wonder if there will be any new chipsets. I'd imagine there would be some opportunity involved with the new PCIe gen 4 lanes. In order to keep backwards compatibility they would have had to keep the same number of lanes for the chipset, but now they are gen 4 instead of gen 3, which means the chipset has double the bandwidth. Hopefully we will see more PCIe lanes off of the chipset available, if a new chipset is launched. Relatively few PCIe lanes was my biggest concern with previous Ryzens. I certainly hope this will be the case. If I get enough lanes, I won't have to buy a threadripper. I dont want to spend on extra Threadripper cores I don't need just to get a few more PCIe lanes.
- As others, I'm a little disappointed it is so far off, but I am looking forward to learning more details.

I'm gunning for a 6c replacement for my 1600, but I may go 8c the 6c processor clocks lower. Also wanna get radeon vii, but I'll probably wait for navi. I wonder if the dual-chiplet processors will have/allow two dual-channel banks (so, four or eight dimms) of ram or if they'll be business as usual...
I'm sure there will be. Hopefully they're good quality boards and firmware. I don't want another gigabyte x370 gaming k5...Yeah, I assumed the 16x slot would just work, as the PCIe Gen 4 interconnects seem electrically pretty similar to gen 3, and that slot usually connects straight to the CPU via the socket.
Don't most other slots on AM4 boards go via the chipset though?
If its just a matter of the chipset splitting up the bandwidth it has going to the CPU, then if the chipset is updated to support gen 4 it should suddenly have double the bandwidth.
I - for one - hope that there will at least be an option of a board that utilizes that bandwidth and splits it up providing as many gen 2 slots that will fit in that bandwidth allocation, rather than providing fewer gen 3 or very few gen 4 slots.

It doesn't have llc, absolute power control (only offset) and many other overclocking features that would help with bclk overclocking (which is the primary reason to get a 'k' board), but also has a buggy bios and poor memory support. If you corrupt either backup or main bios, it's done (you're down to just one), because there's no way to flash from one to the other (not even a switch). Probably others I'm forgetting.I'm not familiar with that board. Thus far the only AM4 boards I've used have been the MSI B350 Tomahawk for my stepsons 1600x gaming build and the Asrock X470 Gaming-ITX/ac I used for my Fiance's 2400G build.
It had lots of problems?
I'd imagine that motherboard makers will take their AMD boards more seriously now that AMD is gaining market share.
Let us ignore he said launch and he only said announced. He continues being wrong. No one of the chips in that table has been announced. No one!
Heres a better shot of the CPU with the traces clearer, found on RedditView attachment 134155
I still wonder why AMD chose to demo the 8 core product, but still obviously tease us with an almost sure to come higher core count version.
I wonder if they were just have problems with their engineering samples with two core chiplets, or something, and stuck with the single core chiplet version so their demo didn't crash or anything.
