interesting. how reliable is IT Home ?

IT Home noted that multiple sources had previously mentioned that the GPU on AMD's "Zen 6" microarchitecture processor "Medusa Point" was "RDNA 3.5+ supporting FSR 4"

So no major raster improvements but supports FSR4?

That’s not bad
 
Apparently AMD’s refuting any issues or delays with N2 products, specifically MI4XX products, directly contradicts a report Dylan (or staff) recently delivered to clients as part of his consultation business. So he’s not just fighting for internet rep, he’s trying to save face with clients.

Sounds about right. Wonder if this is just a hoarding thing and not any problem with the products themselves.

That’s probably his end-game. You can make way more money running a VC fund than selling subscriptions to a Substack or whatever. As for conflicts of interest, who’s gonna stop him? The non-existent SEC?

Thanks for the correction.

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.

... and I think that the frequency of CPU generations (as well as the relative performance increase from one generation to another) is ALSO likely to slow down.

Still, given the fact that the current so given the current socket will exist for another 2 generations (likely out to 2030), I still wouldn't likely upgrade unless I had a failure; however, at least now I wouldn't feel bad about it.

I assembled my current rig with a B450 and a 3200g processor that I later upgraded with a 5600g and a RAM upgrade to DDR4 3600 (32Gb) from the original DDR3000 (16Gb).

This is why I have been building AMD machines since the late 80's. They support a platform for a long time. Intel? What a joke.

I built my current system in 2018 I believe, so it's doing pretty darned good as far as ROI goes (it's also been upgraded to Windows 11).

How many people have laptops that old?
