AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su is heading the opening Keynote at the 2019 Computex trade-show in Taipei. Her company is on the inflection point of new product-lines, namely the 3rd generation Ryzen desktop processors, 2nd generation EPYC, and Radeon Navi graphics cards. This post serves as our Live Blog of the event.
2:17 AM (UTC): Dr. Su takes centerstage as Computex CEO Walter Yeh welcomes and introduces her.
"We want our devices to understand what we want."
2:25 AM (UTC): Dr. Su sets the stage for "Zen 2" CPU core and "Navi" GPU technology reveal.
2:30 AM (UTC): Dr. Su announces Azure Cloud expansion for up to 11,500 cores.
2:32 AM (UTC): AMD updates development of EPYC "Rome" 64-core enterprise processor, with a performance benchmark, showing a 2P "Rome" system outperforming a 2P Intel "Cascade Lake" system. AMD announced a Q3-2019 launch for EPYC "Rome."
2:35 AM (UTC): AMD is unveiling the Radeon Navi GPU.
2:39 AM: Next-generation Sony PlayStation powered by AMD Navi and Ryzen CPU.
2:40 AM: Navi based on new RDNA architecture that is NOT GCN! RDNA is a clean-slate GPU design that is not based on Graphics CoreNext.
2:44: 1.25x IPC increase over Vega SIMD core
AMD announced Radeon RX 5000 series based on "Navi" in honor of AMD 50th Anniversary:
Radeon RX 5700 beats NVIDIA RTX 2070 at "Strange Brigade" by roughly 10 percent. The GPU launches some time in July 2019.
3:00 AM UTC: AMD turns its attention to the PC processor family, with an introduction to 2nd generation Ryzen processors driving high-performance notebooks
3:01 AM UTC: ASUS unveils its AMD X570 motherboard family for Ryzen 3000 processors, with up to 30 models in the pipeline. It also unveiled an ROG Strix desktop based on 3rd generation Ryzen processor.
3:03 AM UTC: Acer unveiled a new "beastly" gaming notebook based on 2nd generation Ryzen mobile product.
Acer also unveiled a new Predator desktop featuring 3rd generation Ryzen and Radeon RX 5700 graphics.
3:10 AM UTC: The 3rd generation Ryzen is here!
3:12 AM UTC: Zen 2 cores, AM4 socket, PCIe gen 4.0
3:14 AM: 2x Floating point, 2x cache size, 15% IPC uplift!
3:16 AM: Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core/16-thread, 3.60~4.40 GHz clocks, 65W TDP, and 15% performance over 2700X. Significantly (30% faster) than i7-9700K
Astounding gaming performance gains over 2700X! Gaming performance beats Core i9-9900K.
3700X + Radeon RX 5700 + X570 is a pure PCIe gen 4.0 platform. PCIe gen 4.0 makes a difference in 3DMark PCIe b/w feature test.
3:35 AM UTC: The Ryzen 9 3900X: 12-core/24-thread, up to 4.80 GHz clocks, 72 MB cache. Beats Intel's HEDT 12-core Core i9-9920X processor.

why would AMD pit R7 3700X against i7 9700K
EDIT: nvm, they put their R7 3800X vs i9 9900K
EDIT2: Press F for i9 9920X
Just 0.1 Ghz left for free 10$ :peace:
Jesus... 22% faster in PUBG says a lot, and i LIKE how my 2700x performs in games
70MB cache :twitch:
I just hope there are enough spare EPYC for AMD to make another Threadripper.
Intel had been in far even worse situation than this.
Looks like their performance ended up better than they expected on the CPUs, so they held back the clocks a bit and increased pricing.
I guess people will still bash all the leakers and say they were wrong and AMD didn't deliver etc.
Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed with the pricing as well, but such is life. Do expect more SKUs later in the year though.
This is what all of us have been waiting for.
No single thread performance and when they did a cinebench multithread 3700x 8 cores 16 threads, they poorly x 9700k which is an 8 cores and 8 threads, badly matched, why they did not use the 9900k? price will be their excuse.
Whilst a lot is subjective and still needs testing I now know I will go AMD. Even just for the future upgrade path as Intel has clearly stalled somewhat in new CPU design. These increases and performance along with cost. I'm certainly happy to go this route. For $500 as well, much cheaper than intel too so $ per performance must be amazing.
its mean intel aint worth their precious time on stage and slide anymore
