AMD to Detail Zen 2, Navi Architectures Come Hot Chips in August
The Hot Chips conference is one of the leading-edge grounds for discussion of new silicon-bound technologies, and AMD will, as usual, take to its grounds in an effort to detail their efforts in their technology fields. The conference's organization has already confirmed a number of participants in its conference schedule, which includes the likes of Intel, Microsoft, Alibaba, NVIDIA, Tesla and of course, AMD.
AMD will be delivering two keynotes: the first, on August 19th, is simply titled "Zen 2", and will therefore deal with the underpinnings of the Zen 2 microarchitecture, which will be pervasive to all of AMD's CPU product lines. A second conference will be held on the same day by AMD's CEO Lisa Su herself, and is titled "Delivering the Future of High-Performance Computing with System, Software and Silicon Co-Optimization". On the next day, August 20th, another AMD keynote is simply titled "7 nm Navi GPU", and we expect it to follow in the footsteps of the Zen 2 conference. So, with AMD diving deep into both architectures come August... it's extremely likely the company will have launched both product lines by then. Fingers crossed. You can find the abstract on AMD's CEO Lisa Su's conference after the break.

From medicine to the frontiers of scientific research, manufacturing and entertainment-the demand for computing and graphics technologies continues growing. While we are entering a golden age of high-performance computing, it is increasingly clear that the techniques the industry has used to reach this point will not deliver similar advances over the coming years. As the gains from Moore's Law have slowed in recent years, the industry has begun to focus on new areas of innovation to maintain the historical pace of performance improvements. AMD CEO Lisa Su will discuss new techniques in system architecture, silicon design and software that will enable future generations of computing and graphics products to deliver more performance with greater efficiency.

But assuming you're right and PCs start to require tiny fans on multiple small parts (at least: RAM, VRM, chipset, M.2 SSD) than it would mean the whole concept of "custom PCs" is falling apart. Motherboard standard will have to be redesigned. Parts are getting too hot for how we envisioned this decades ago.
OEM PCs won't need a fan on chipset or RAM or VRM. It'll just push more consumers out of the "custom" niche.I have a clue about how much a silent 40-60mm fan costs. And this one is either cheap or they had to save money elsewhere (which sin't exactly conforming).
Edit: Since fiscal q3 is almost up, guess that narrows it down lol
2 your better way"Getting rid of the "stylish" plastic garbage and focusing on functionality." IS WISHY WASHY TOTAL BALLS, try again most boards have a simple heatsink there ,no more.
3 "the whole concept of "custom PCs" is falling apart." It is, the time is fast approaching when we cannot afford the parts we would need and will have to rent the tech, 10-20 year's.
4 "OEM PCs won't need a fan on chipset" Oem pc's are not custom, there spec is set the Nvme drives and all attached hardware will be specc'd to accomodate their build, A custom PC Could have 4x NVME at 6GB/sec each plus technically 3-4 pciex full of 4xnvme drives as a worse case , they don't want their parts to fail prematurely.
5 you Have no clue and are now lieing, no one here knows how loud that fan is at all.

If this chipset really can't be cooled passively, i.e. it pulls 30W+, this 50mm fan will have to spin at 2000-3000 rpm.OEM PCs have properly designed cooling solutions with guided airflow. Custom PCs don't - they have expensive AiOs and gigantic aircoolers to compensate.
And now they'll also have tiny chipset fans, because motherboard designers simply can't assume you'll have enough airflow in the case.
They have to prepare for the worst case scenario which is: an AiO with radiator mounted to the case ceiling and poor intake fans in the front. The funny thing about chipset is: it may be under heavy load when CPU isn't, so AiO will run at minimal speed.50-55mm. It's not that hard to measure.You don't seem very interested in the launch as well. Why don't you write a comment about it instead of mocking people? :-)
If you're into extreme low noise, pull the stock heat sync off and put a beefier one on that can be cooled by your case fans, jeez.
Buncha trolls.
Either grabbing existing X470 board or B550 may be wiser choice for those who are concerned with fan noise.
In my collection I have 135mm supposedly quiet fans that are noisy (and have a grinding noise from new) and 60mm ceramic bearing fans that are virtually silent.
Lets wait for reviews before casting around wild allegations.
@The Lighthouse
Another thing to consider is that likely the chipset will only pull a lot of power when doing stuff, if one has a PCIe4 M.2 doing e.g. 6GB/s on the CPU M.2 slot, will most folks need another one or two on the chipset? (Which will max out at the same PCIe4 x4 total bandwidth anyway).
Either way, this will still be more storage speed than the competitor can provide at the moment or are their PCIe4 boards also going to be launched soon?
I mean they probably did what they needed to do in order to keep the noise minimal. I take it TPU review will give their experience on the noise while testing.
Unfortunately most "mainstream" motherboards these days are geared towards teenagers, with fancy RGB LEDs and "heat sinks" covered in plastic or no real fins, despite most buyers being grownups who don't care how it looks, but definitely cares about reliability, noise, etc.

I assume the extra heat of the chipset was not intentional, but doing a respin would cause too much delay.
I hope the fan won't turn on if I don't use any of these silly M.2 SSDs (they are so expensive to begin with). My current PC only has SATA SSDs and I tend to keep them in a way.
Yes, this tiny fan could be silent if it had cost $10.Yeah, but what's the point? It's a consumer platform. Hardly anyone will use the PCIe 4.0 potential X570 is rumored to provide. But everyone will have a small fan like in the 90s.
This is the same argument as always. You can mock "the competitor" on losing in benchmarks and specs, but they make a mature, purpose-built ecosystem. They deliver in friendliness and practicality.
One can make any PC more faster by adding fans, hence allowing a larger power draw. It doesn't mean it's always a good idea.
If one has loud components or doesn't care, a 50mm chipset fan won't make a difference - I totally agree.
But look around you on all these people spending hundreds of USD on fanless PSUs, better GPU coolers and premium case fans. All that becomes obsolete. They'll now have a 50mm high rpm fan. It'll be the loudest part in their PCs.
And if it turns out the fan is spinning slowly, hence silent, it'll mean it wasn't necessary in the first place.
Talk about Drama , it's now the loudest fan in a pc, if they're going to that quite extreme ,a bit more effort would be nothing.
As for your efforts to dramatise this topic taking on all comers ,seams a bit shill, your definitely a hater.
Doesn't intels latest hedt feature fans on the Vrms , dya think that's noisey.
