Asrock also has EPYC ATX motherboards.

What about a standard motherboard size that fits 16 DIMM slots and long PCIe cards?

It is now possible to overclock the 200GE cores on some MSI and Gigabyte motherboards:


Note that it might not be stable above 3.8GHz.

The Ryzen 3 1200 can be found at a good price in Europe, but not in the US, it seems.

Bristol Ridge seems a tougher sell now, even for those at a similar price having more GPU power.

ASUS too now.

And they added a 3GiB VRAM option for APUs. It does not mean that it is useful.

Well, the 220GE and 240GE are just core clock bumps at $10 steps, as low expectations would have it.

Saw that myself a week ago. I wouldn't read too much into it. It might be real, but no point in hyping one's outlook and then being bummed when it isn't what was promised and or isn't as good.
[doublepost=1546837706][/doublepost]Also, looks like RAM and SSD prices are going to drop despite it being the projection 2-3 months ago. Overstock and fining of companies who played the market should help drive prices down to healthy amounts that are affordable to more people than this past year.

Ryzen Mobile graphics updates will now be performed via the regular Radeon software channel.
Leaving it up to OEM vendors was a mistake in the first place. I believe the update package is an all in one for various chipsets.

Room for two of them actually. I must have missed something but their new card that was compared to the RTX 2080 came off, at least to me, a media professional card and not one for gaming. Though I'm curious how that still makes sense (if meant for gaming) when NVidia is rumored to release a GTX 1100 series, too.

That Eng Sample demoed two days ago was supposedly runing at 3.7 GHz base/4.5 GHz Turbo, with 4.0-4.2 GHz ALL CORE TURBO!

What this means is that AMD has beaten latest, and greatest Intel CPU, with 500 MHz lower clock speed, half the power(roughly).

And best part is that it is not even highest end CPU, but something between Ryzen 5 3400 and 3600, depending on the market segmentation.

If this is correct, and there is no reason why it would not be correct - AMD has genuine gem on their hands.

The best thing is: AMD achieved this score with just 2666 MHz DDR4 memory. So the faster memory you get, the scores will be better!

AMD could decide to make a 4 core, 10 CU APU with HBM.

Not this year. 2019 desktop APUs should be monolithic Zen+ (desktop Picasso).

But with an I/O chiplet shrink and shift it could be twice as powerful.

I guess no hope for 22FDX Excavator if Google is testing Raven.

Renoire is monolithic die, with Vega GPU. 20 CUs on 7 nm, should be pretty good. There are rumors, that higher end designs could have HBM2 on package.
