    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    AMD has beat expectations for the past few quarters and this has helped lift the stock. That, coupled with Ryzen/Vega expectations, has put it into the $13-14 range. I bought some in Feb 2016 primarily because of Zen speculation and purchased some additional this January. You're correct in...

    The 'Yellow Foglights are better in rain' myth

    I have a 140mi. roundtrip commute on a rural, mountain road. This means that in the winter I leave and return in the dark. I heard that bluish lighting had better contrast, so I bought a pair of 7000K bulbs to try. The first substantial rainstorm proved this was based on BS - couldn't see a...

    Possible Phenom 2 pricing listed

    I believe it's the latter....not turning DDR3 compatibiliy on as yet. I read some AMD on-line documentation on Barcelona months ago which indicated both DDR2 and DDR3 compatibility. That obviously was never turned on as AMD DDR3 boards haven't materialized. I also recall seeing pictures of...

    Phenom II 940 (deneb) @ 3DMARK @ Everest and a bit of OC

    Interesting......adjusted for clock speed (3.25 vs 3.0), Deneb is ~28% quicker than Agena in CPU Queen. That's my 9950BE vs the chart posted in the link. We'll know more about the performance gains closer to launch. Until then we wait and speculate.:D

    Phenom II info leaks out, AMD hints at something

    I was interested in how AMD managed to avoid HK/MG at 45nm and, in fact, postpone it until late 45nm or even 32nm. I found this article that describes the transistor improvements AMD has made from the 65nm tech. Interesting read......... LINK
