Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

[adroc_thurston]

Dylan (or someone on his team) is implying some "N2 challenges" for AMD.

We really should've thrown him off the cliffs of Zion.

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-denies-mi455x-delay-claims-says-shipments-remain-set-for-h2-2026 so who is right?

definitely not dolan

You seem not to like the guy very much, for anything in particular?

Dylan (or someone on his team) is implying some "N2 challenges" for AMD.

One of many such statements about number of different companies in recent weeks.

It's ironic that he's complaining about being misunderstood when he can't even use proper grammar. I legitimately don't know what he's try to say with this.

N2 challenges with AMD do not imply N2 with TSMC lol.

It's a long story.
But generally he's a lot dumber than it seems.

I legitimately don't know what he's try to say with this.

Means AMD sucks at N2 and not TSM.
Which is very, very wrong.

AMD clapping back in the most direct way possible:

I mean... the industry gives him more weight than he deserves, so what can you do. *shrug*

Laugh.
(mind that the average venture capitalist is dumber than even him. World's a cruel place).

He has a long history of asinine takes.

That's reality.

I mean, if a trash publication like Wccftech can build a following for essentially just repackaging leaks/rumors to the uninformed masses, it's not hard to extrapolate that to the likes of SA.

you're really underselling it.

ergo, we should've thrown him off the cliffs of Zion. my bad.

Zion National Park?

 

[adroc_thurston]

Zion National Park?

Yes.

 

[Joe NYC]

Yes.

Funny, when I was there. at Zion (long time ago), took a hike on a trail that was described as breathtaking and something about the trail being "advanced".

I was thinking "they are probably talking to obese Americans". So, we set out on the trail, with the Mrs., and about a couple of 100 feet from beginning, the "trail" turned into some loose / rickety metal fixtures hanging off of a cliff of a mountain that were supposed to be a "walkway".

Made a U-Turn.

Here is Anush, AMD's datacenter AI software guy, commenting on AMD "N2 challenges"

AMD "N2 challenges"

It's a load of bull since AMD re-rated Venice socket perf up thrice.

Ah yes, the famous Angel's Landing trail:

(Not me, just a random Google photo I found)

But I have done the hike and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That's it!

One of those times the Mrs. and I agreed right away that it was not a risk worth taking.

MI455X is right on target for shipments in 2H2026

That Dylan guy from SA is really an obnoxious ****.

It's a load of bull since AMD re-rated Venice socket perf up thrice.

Is it because of better frequency or just increasing socket TDP to max things out?

If you upgrade so infrequently, then even with extreme longevity of AMD platform, you will rarely get an opportunity to do CPU only upgrade. So, it really doesn't need to be a concern for you.

I tend to have a similar strategy, waiting for 2x CPU performance to upgrade, and I just happened to get Zen 4 (7800x3d), and in my case, CPU only upgrade to Zen 6 (or even Zen 7) will be quite an attractive proposition.

Same, I'll upgrade when AM6 launches and prices on top zen7 X3D drops.

Mostly because I really don't use my computer that much.

Same here.
My 5600x / RX6800xt /32GB is more than adequate for what I use my computer for these days.

I’d like to upgrade but I’ll probably buy myself a second hand Mazda Miata before upgrading my PC.
Most of the time I use my work laptop anyway.
