AMD Discussion

A Ryzen box looks huge next to a 200GE box.

And it is just big enough to fit Wraith Prism.

Maybe Intel made the thing thicker because they know people are still going to delid it.
 
Possibly ;).

The rumor about Zen2 is this: It has slightly higher IPC than Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake, has equally high core clocks, but the lineup of Zen 2 will start from 8C/8T CPU, and will top out at 16C/32T on AM4 platform.

The design is still 8C/16T, and AMD will make similar approach as with SP4, and Rome(chiplets, FTW). Pretty darn good.

Ryzen 5 3400 SKU should have 8C/16T in this case, if we are going by measure of doubling the core counts of Zen1.
 
16C on AM4 would be great. TR4 boards are expensive.

4C Athlon would be great too.

8C APU would be excellent (for eventual FreeSync with NVIDIA).

Who cares about Freesync for Nvidia?

Dude. 8C/16T CPU will cost 169$(or less). Give it 4.0/4.5 GHz core clocks, and you basically destroyed everything on the market. Rome - 64C/128T design, AM4 - 16C/32T design. Killing spree.

Someone who does not care about buying a G-Sync monitor but might buy an NVIDIA card.

People are still paying $400 for 6-core or 8 thread CPUs (but I don't see 9900K sales).
 
Murthy Renduchintala - new Intel CEO?

Should be announced very soon ;).
 
It seems there's a new FM2+ series (Carrizo APUs, there was only a CPU for Carrizo on this socket).

A6-7480
A8-7680

Carrizo has both DDR3 and DDR4 controllers, so it must be possible to package the dies as FM2+ or AM4 depending on demand.

There's still FM2+ stuff on Amazon's bestseller lists.

This means you're now getting AVX2 (2-cycle) APUs on FM2+ (the CPU already had it).

I think Bristol Ridge also has a DDR3 controller. It could be interesting to shrink it to 22FDX then.
 
Someone says the new FM2+ APUs are not Carrizo but Bristol Ridge.

This is likely the truth, as the latter is largely superseded for AM4.
 
It seems there's some wrong information going around: the new FM2+ APUs would not be based on the A8-7600 (Kaveri). That has Steamroller cores, and the new ones would be Excavator (likely "v2", Bristol Ridge).
