With all the modern platforms basing performance (ie n-core clock speed vs. time) on temperature as well as power, will there be comparisons to how much more performance a cooler can provide for a system vs. reference? That is, instead of fixed speed vs. temp measurement, what about time to...

Ye Gods! Three years seems a little fast though. I'm all for improving, don't get me wrong, but historical time to implement (correctly), plus power vs. lithography issues says "slow it down a little" to me. That said, I wouldn't mind if there is a practical point when PCIe N x1 is enough for...

I am very interested to see where this leads, though I can't imagine the clock speeds are going to be too great to keep things in a 250w envelope with 4x the core of the 3950X, (but it sure would be nice 😁 ). It would be prudent of AMD to move up to at least 6 channel memory, 64 cores is a lot...

So juicy...if this rings true, I can't wait to see what Intel's response will be. Last two times there was a performance flip the inferior products' prices dropped off a cliff.

I'd like to say I have no loyalty as there are a few retired AMDs around the house, but AVX performance is critical for me, and while I'm glad that AMD finally caught up (in theory, I'll wait for some actual performance comparisons) with Intel's AVX2 implementation, there's no AVX512, yet, which...

It needs to run a gamut of ridiculous durability tests, and if it comes out smelling like a certain venerable 1988 Toyota Hilux, then it shall be a worthy vehicle for one day replacing my '92.

Really loving the extra-proprietary expansion card system, keep all that non-Apple made/priced crap outta there!

Booooo! Booooo! Pick someone else. Danny Pudi?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. (wait). I'm calling BS on their (and your) analysis that Intel is "giving up." It's only the original 7000 series of Skylake-X being discontinued (at the end of 2019, mind), the 9000 series that was the refresh is still active, and I saw a roadmap recently putting...

I guess I fall into the niche of people who like to use their expansion slots. I will agree that any slot right below the top x16 is dumb considering they don't seem to be making any more single-slot midrange GPUs (even the low-wattage ones need 3 slots now?), I liked when manufacturers used to...

What's with the lack of expansion slots? Saw the same on many X570 boards. Some of us really like using the x1's/x4's for AICs.

Well, they kinda did. The P suffix was uniprocessor which made its way into several workstation builds. Had about the same level of comparison to the 2P product stack as Intel's W-2xxx line to Skylake-SP. The hype as I saw it was "ZOMG, 16 cores on mainstream??? TR is 16 cores, too! TR is dead...

You don't want to say too much when the stock market is listening. I think that just like Zen 1, all the chiplets in Ryzen 3k and Epyc are the same, and TR might get its own I/O chiplet to save on fab costs, so while there is that gigantic order in play, the base manufacturing can support...

I wouldn't say the 3800X is a new stack, I think many were wondering why there wasn't a 2800X after the well received 1800X. The canned corporate benchies put the 3800X over the 9900k at lower clocks/power, which is fantastic if it really pans out. Now all we need is a TR with a competitive...

Most are supposed to be able to handle the new CPUs, from the articles I've seen, aside from some lower end boards. If it can meet the minimum electrical requirements for R3k, it will get an update was the message from the major manufacturers. Most already have, so check your board's BIOS...

Well, a lot of the rumors were definitely wrong, but 12 cores at 105W TDP is not to be sneered at-beats 2920X, though fewer memory channels. The 64MB L3 vs 32 on the 8 core also means that there is definitely 16 cores under the hood, so I wonder when that puppy will tape out. And heck, 4MB...

Main: i7 3930k (waiting for CSL-X...) HTPCs: i7 7700k, E3-1246 v3 Home Server: i3 2120T; pfSense: i5 4590 Laptops: Celeron M 360, Core 2 Duo P8800 Primegrid only: i7 3930k, i7 4800HQ, i5 3570, 2x X5675

It seems that AMD's product marketing strategy is to take the competitor's numbering system and release the next one in the series.

I've found that keeping my Win10 machines on default update settings (minus drivers) makes them wait forever to get updates (all are still 1803). Bring on the new bugs!
