    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    Thanks guy, had a feeling... I can't stand these reddit fan fiction no source bait posts.

    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    Not seeing any resemblance. Your photo is blurry, smaller and totally different reflections. Not sure why you linked to it.

    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    What is this photo on AMD Reddit? Is it a photoshop or real deal? Can't seem to find any source or any details at all.

    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    The latest image of the chip And that center die looks only moderately larger than Zeppelin, just a bit wider... Look how small those core dies are.

    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    So you are suggesting Desktop Zen 2 will be 16 core (2x 8core CCX)? I wouldn't be surprised, 7nm 8 core Zen would be tiny (Less than half 14/12nm Zen die size).

    AMD “Next Horizon Event" Thread

    What? The Chiplets are less than half the size of 14nm Zen dies, as expected... What were you expecting? Rice grains?

    Speculation: The CCX in Zen 2

    If they use 4 core CCX like now, what are they going to do with all that extra space? I doubt they will sell the same as what we have now at smaller die area, lower power and cheaper... They have to improve somewhere other than die shrink, why not up core count & increase AVX with other...

    Radeon team chooses Kabylake over Ryzen

    The OP kinda sounds like he is suggesting Radeon group doesn't think AMD's CPUs are good enough but what I took away from the decision is that AMD knows there are a lot of people out there that own 7700K CPUs and they don't want to imply by using AMD CPUs that Vega is only for AMD Fans, they are...

    Ryzen 7 stability

    Not OC or putting to sleep my 1800X, 3200 Trident Z, MSI XPower Gaming Titanium system, I leave it running 24/7 (very stable too) but every now and then I have to unplug the HDMI and plug it back in when switching my TV source to PCs HDMI. I am using an XFX RX 480 GTR Black Edition 8GB (1338Mhz...

    AMD Vega (FE and RX) Benchmarks [Updated Aug 10 - RX Vega 64 Unboxing]

    And I have been saying it for days now on AMD's Reddit.

    AMD Vega (FE and RX) Benchmarks [Updated Aug 10 - RX Vega 64 Unboxing]

    I'm calling it... Considering RX Vega is delayed, the wacky performance relative to Fiji despite more transistors, higher clock and higher TDP, and the fact that AMD has decided to go Pro before Consumer (which is uncharacteristic) this could only mean one thing... Sometime after production...

    What do you think AMD will do with Zen 8C/16T dies with a Mem Controller defect?

    I like the Threadripper source, only requires quad channel, so assuming Threadripper doesn't require only 2 dies, they could take 3 to 4 defective Ryzen dies with gimped Memory Channels to create a Threadripper SKU that satisfies the quad channel memory.

    What do you think AMD will do with Zen 8C/16T dies with a Mem Controller defect?

    Well we know what they are doing with the dies that only have 2 functional cores but fully working Cache, PCIe and Memory Controllers.... Hint: EPYC $400 8c/16t - 128 PCIe - 8 Channel DDR4. Turning Garbage into Treasure! Thanks to Infinity Fabric!

    AMD EPYC Server Processor Thread - EPYC 7000 series specs and performance leaked

    Wow that 8c/16t part... It's literally the shining corner of Infinity Fabric, allowing AMD to take garbage 8c/16t dies with only TWO functional cores they would normally throw away and gluing four of them together to create a $400 server part with all 128 PCIe lanes and all 8 DDR4 channels...

    Where are all the major OEM's PCs with AMD Ryzen processors?

    They are too fixated on Bristol Ridge.
