AMD E3 Next Horizon Event: Live Blog

Still RIP.

Price difference is too great.
You could buy TWO 16-core AMD computers for the price of ONE 16-core Intel.

(Or almost 3x 12c vs 1 12c Intel)

Oh, and Threadripper will come... probably announced later in the year, after 3950X launch, and completely smash anything Intel HEDT has.

TR yes, AM4 16 core no.

I am waiting for TR3, this X99 platform is getting on my nerves.

Navi is overpriced, like the Nvidia lineup!

But, it was somewhat expected that AMD would take advantage of Nvidia raising prices to raise their prices as well!

This release will not create the desired impact and will not put Nvidia on the alert, but at least now there is an alternative.

AMD didn´t say anything about TDP, which probably means that the 12nm Nvidia continues to be significantly more efficient!

This node is not cheap to manufacture on, on the path Nvidia are on I shudder at the thought of a 3080Ti.

I think I'll stick to dreaming about the 16 core, I would love to crunch with it but I think the 12 core is enough out of my reach as is.

Why so salty? I get you are an AMD fan, but is the reality!

I'm just tired of all the thousand comments about what everything should cost, no matter the brand. Nobody cares, especially not Intel, AMD or Nvidia, see my previous post.
Call me AMD fan all you want, I haven't had an AMD CPU since my old Opteron 146, I'm writing this on an i5 laptop. :D

It's nothing personal.

I get that saying "it should cost this" is a way of not having to say "I can't afford it".
The latter, by the way, holds true for me.

It really looks like price-fixing is activated. Can’t wait for Intel to come into the party and trash this uncle-niece alliance lol.

Pretty sure 3950X is an AM4 processor...

TR is probably up to 32 cores (4 chiplets) and EPYC is probably up to 64 cores (8 chiplets).
 
so was my Msi™ Radeon™ RX vega 56 crossfire a good buy?
I am thinking hard about hurting my wallet on a AMD™ Ryzen 3800X.

Suppose it could have 64 too, just with fewer Infinity Fabric links.

$449 and $379, Meh.

It is OK

Interesting. We will see performance, consumption and what I'm most excited about, is that input lag lowering process.

Sooooooo

I guess the "Waiting for Navi" train is finally coming to a mediocre stop? What do the fans "wait for" next now?

What we know now it will be $50 cheaper than an RTX 2070 while being ~10% faster. When NV lowers the prices (if it happens), AMD can also lower it. The 5700 more expensive than the RTX 2060 is not good, however, if you check it's also 10% faster and has +2 GB VRAM, which is not a bad thing to have at a GTX 1080 level, it justifies the price and makes it a better price-performance deal.

Those new Navi cards are just terrible unfortunately.

No, they not. They look better price-performance ratio if we believe that +10% performance. Even the more expensive RX5700 is better value than the RTX2060 with +8% price and +10% perfomance, and having +2GB VRAM. That input lag reduction process seems interesting too. And I highly doubt AMD will only have 2 models in the Navi RX5XXX lineup.

hmh, not really sure what to think. I expected between 2060 and 2070 so I guess this a bonus? I suppose since I was considering a VII that I won't not consider this.

All indications are that TR3 will be skipped, at least 3xxx series. It might make comeback next year with zen3 & up to 4t per core.

Navi.. I thought the prices are higher than l figured but I think there where Nvidia won't react right away. Once production ramps, they'll need to get CPU/GPU figured out the mix of what people want. Good position to be in. That said I want more on FidelityFX and see how RGT can make enroads with the developers. Overall it was as expected. But good to have AMD/RGT hitting on all cylinders even if it's just getting warm. I think the market views it positive and money will be flowing in... not out and right now that's what they need.

Intel cannot even dream of producing a similar CPU at this price point right know. Oh my how times have changed.
 
I wonder if there are plans to release some version of Navi 20.

I wouldn't think so. TR is usually October release schedule. AMD would want to promote 64 lane pcie4 as a workstation option.

The product names would be confusing after AM4 stole the *950X name with the 3950x. I'm gonna bet my left nut AMD's next HEDT will all be under the EPYC brand to challenge Intel's Xeon W-3175. And when you look at AMD's EPYC pricing, their EPYC 32 cores is $2000 while the 2990WX is $1799... that's not much of a difference compared to the pricing disparity of Skylake-X and its Xeon counterpart.

Likely too expensive to bring to the mainstream market at a reasonable perf/price level. We wont see anything 400 mm^2+ on 7nm from AMD until mid-late 2020.

Really disappointed on the Navi pricing, especially when those MSRPs are for the [still] blower GPUs, so a regular dual fan 5700 will be at $400 without RTX and other nvidia features.

no it is not. I got my first gen TR in August of 2017.
 
1.98GHz boost on that anniversary edition, so there is definitely some headroom somewhere! Can't wait for binned AIB cards that should basically perform as well as my Radeon VII (sad) but cost so little I can get back at least 100 euros (yay!)!

Quad DDR4, more PCIE lanes and AVX512. Remember HEDT is for productivity, not just for gaming.
Click to expand...

Thread-intensive Load -> ThreadRipper
Frequency-intensive Load -> 9900k
Encoding -> 9900k + quicksync

I don't see the place for Intel's HEDT lineup in productivity.

Agreed. People just want to complain about anything these days and I'm tired of all the whining. If making a cheaper graphics card is that easy; then there would be more companies doing it. People were complaining about Nvidia's costs and were begging for an alternative from AMD. We get the alternative but they don't like it as it isn't cheap enough for them. The biggest whiners people with wine tastes but on a beer budget. If you don't like it; don't buy it. Simple as that.

I'm happy with AMD's CPU and GPU lineup and I'll be getting the 5700XT 50th anniversary edition to replace my 1070.
 
Results in AMD slides are big resounding meh.
Unless you do workstation stuff like rendering Ryzen 3000 does not seem to bring anything new to the table.

There is something very interesting about Navi though, RX5700 in particular:
36 CU, 2304 SP, 144 TMU, 64 ROP, 256-bit 14GBPs GDDR6 at 448GB/s.
The numbers immediately sounded familiar. This is the exact spec for RTX2070. we will see 1:1 comparisons for Navi vs Turing. Stock cards RX5700 vs RTX2070, only clocks need to be normalized.
