All the cut single CCD X3D parts have come a long time after the primary products and some have been limited run exclusives. Edit. I just checked and the 5600 and 7600 were both micro centre exclusive. No idea about the 9600 as that was only leaked with the R9700 support list and has not...

Any 8c/9c/10c dies that get made will be for server and the cut down dual CCD X3D part. For single CCD X3D it will just be 12c to begin with. Maybe a cut down single CCD part will release 9 months later but why would AMD undercut themselves from the off when they have no competition for the top...

They won't make an 8 core for a while so it will be pay up for the 12c or go without.

I think Intel are doing it because they want a win in something at least. AMD will do it because people are accustomed to them offering dual CCD parts and AMD will make a small amount for that niche. I think in all likelihood the 12core X3D part will be the best seller in DIY, especially as it...

Watch this get quoted by the typical leaker sites and then spread around Reddit and then MLID will pick up something from his sources and then someone here will post that video.

So all test results get scaled to a baseline of card on test = 100% and all others are scaled off of that. Then for all the tests those different numbers are averaged which then gives you the average relative performance. By scaling it all to a baseline of 100 as Wiz said it avoids certain games...

Or Devs just spend less time optimising textures so they use roughly the same space as now at a lower resolution hoping AI can make up the difference.

I had to wait a month before I could use my 5800X3D because I was waiting for MSI to release a bios update for my motherboard.

Salty about what? It was clearly dripping with sarcasm.

You miss the point, possibly intentionally. If a workload scales well to 20-32 threads then shows diminishing returns Zen 6 will be faster because upto 24 or those threads will be on a full core upto 8 will be on a HT virtual core. With NVL 16 will be on a p core and upto 16 will be on an e...

Unless the P cores are strong a lot of DIY desktop buyers will buy 11800X3D or whatever AMD name the 12c single CCD X3D part. Partly because they already have an AM5 motherboard so the cost is just the chip not chip+ motherboard and partly because it will be the best performing gaming part...

10% behind probably TPU but compared to the other reviews I have seen they seem like an outlier.

Now NV need a $5000 titan version which is the full die but only paired with 32GB of VRAM so it is far less useful for AI stuff. Wonder if Adam would upgrade to such a part

Gibbo said in the forum they found out what caused the issues at the 9070 launch so they were able to put some money towards making sure that bottleneck was sorted in time for this launch and for future launches.

The 9060XT 8GB fell off a cliff in performance in F1 25 on the 8700K PCIe 3 system despite having an x16 PCIe interface. The 5060's all have an x8 PCIe interface so I was curious if they would fall off even worse when paired with the 8700K system. Intuitively you would expect so but I want to...
