AMD Computex Keynote LIVE NOW (12core/24thread Ryzen $499 July 7th release confirmed)

[Remij 4,823]

They went live and forgot to restart the stream, meaning all the practicing they've been doing was still continued and if you watch it and "rewind" you can see their practice runs. LMAO.

 

From just a couple things I saw they're bumping up the core counts for gaming.  The 12 core CPU is apparently 20% faster than Intel's competing CPU.  Games apparently perform much better.  They said something about Gen4 PCIe improving FPS in games.  They'll show PUBG (which they say is notoriously hard to get high framerates in) running really fast.

 

lmao.. they JUST cut the stream and now the vid is unavailable!  The info's already out there though.

 

Looks like the 12 core is my next cpu

So you're going AMD?

[Remij 4,823]

12 core confirmed
Ryzen 9 confirmed
65W and 105W parts?
3800X $399 8c16t
3900X $499 12c24t
Something about 4.6 GHz
56 x570 mobos, most at Computex
7/7 launch
3700x is 28% faster than the 9700k in cinebench r20, more single and multi thread performance at lower power
15% IPC increase

Fuck yea.  Intel can eat a dick.

AMD says GCN is dead. Starts with Navi.

So RX 5700 is 10% faster than RTX 2070. No mention of ray-tracing support, though.

That's not that good.  Strange Brigade is a heavily AMD favored title.

 

Will have to wait for June 10th to know more obviously.

Eh.. it sounds like a naming rebrand of GCN.  25% increase dropping to 7nm?? Eh

What is the 5700? Like a middle of the road GPU?

I assume it is the RX 570 successor.

[Remij 4,823]

That's probably a fair approximation of the GPU power of the next gen consoles.

We didn't see that when Vega went 7nm, so yeah, it's definitely not GCN anymore.

[DynamiteCop 2,108]

It really does seem like AMD is turning everything around, it's nice to see my favorite company coming back to a serious point of contention with their rivals.

Maybe the 8 shader core per CU is true?  In that case, while not *completely* new.. it would give reason enough to call it a different architecture. 64 thread wavefronts to now 32 thread.  They can more efficiently thread the CUs.

The real indicator will be whether or not there's a CU limitation.

True.

 

Also, it sounds like MS and AMD have a really strong relationship now.  But the lack of mentioning RT sucks.  It'll probably be on their architecture upgrade.

 

It does seem like they're turning themselves around on all fronts though.  Good shit. 

[Remij 4,823]

Also this Acer CEO really likes Lisa

Throwing so much shade at Intel and Nvidia lmao
