    AMD Zen 5 Microarchitecture Referenced in Leaked Slides

    If AMD is saying 10/15% uplift it will most probably be 5/8% in most of the situations. Not exactly groundbreaking for a new architecture. Maybe the CPU field is stagnating, but I’m not sure this actually is bad news. Do we need more performance? I would prefer more efficiency at this point

    Intel 14th Gen Core Marketing Material Leaked, Basic Specs Confirmed

    Do you really need more cores ? For what, exactly?

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    As I said several time: no point in arguing with AMD cheerleaders

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    No, we weren’t: Apparently you lack reading skills, in addition to knowledge Keep using the 7950X3D which is slower than 13900K in multithreaded workloads… The 7950X3D is a tuned down 7950X, so if you “tune” a 7950X or a 13900K you can reduce the gap. Not saying Intel CPUs are power efficient...

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    There’s no reasoning with AMD cheerleaders. They really are worse than Apple’s fan Little reality check: a 7950X under full load can consume up to 240W

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    AMD and Intel choose a different path, but AMD is stuck in the 16/32 configuration since a while, in the consumer market, while Intel moved on. The hybrid solution is a compromise, but a good one. You cannot just add cores on a consumer CPU.

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    And again if can’t even understand the difference from a Xeon target workload and a consumer CPU target workload, how could you criticize Intel’s choices?

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    That’s only if you don’t understand how it works I had a 12700K two months after release: never had a single issue.

    Atlas Fallen Optimization Fail: Gain 50% Additional Performance by Turning off the E-cores

    Hybrid processors are here since a while now, and it’s unacceptable for a software house not to be able to take this architecture into consideration. This is laziness and incompetence …

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    Interesting statistic: a single regional shop. And not even sales, just “in the cart”. In the meanwhile, in the real world: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/ First relevant Radeon is the ancient 580. Radeon 7000 not even listed. Some Radeon 6000 are in the bottom part of the...

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    basically no one own a 7000 series GPU, that’s why they are not complaining.

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    So your facts are a video speaking about RTX 3060 (a meh GPU since the beginning), meaningless marketing on a card box and the idea that since AMD is providing GPUs to the consolle they have some advantages in porting (which has been proved wrong on almost every porting so far) ? as I said...

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    Your AMD cheerleading is quite well known on this forum… Your point are absolutely right but did you read my first post on the matter , in this thread ? AMD supporters are worse than Apple’s in this regards. They are in constant denial and it doesn’t matter if the web is literally full of...

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    we are going OT here... basically I set up every PC and test it with my suite of applications. The issues appeared after a few months (I'd say from 3 to 8, approximately) of "normal usage". Driver were updated, Windows was updated since this is what I usually suggest my customers to do, and...

    AMD Flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX Slips to Under $900, Now Starts at $881

    you are missing the point. Users were the same level of Nvidia's customers, but the latter didn't experience any issue.
