AMD Introduces Dynamic Local Mode for Threadripper: up to 47% Performance Gain

[HTC]

Yeah the regular qualifier "up to" applies here too, although 47% may not be the upper limit on say linux.

Unknown @ this point since this software seems to be Windows specific. Were a version of it made for Linux, perhaps ... but i wouldn't bet on it because of how much better optimized Linux scheduler is VS Windows': not much gains to be had, i'm guessing.

Weird that someone would care about my post count or join date.
I am posting because I am a software engineer and had particular insight into why this couldn't be a driver solution.
My system specs are a Sandy Bridge and gtx980 not an AMD fanboy but since they're competitive for most things now I'm interested since I also prefer their business ethics.

No man don't do that! I for one appreciated your insight.

AMD is still, what, 10% slower on IPC? That's still a win for Intel. Also, notice that I said Intel would win, not by how much. That depends on specific cases which is outside the scope of my comment.

Who told you AMD is 10% slower on IPC compared to Intel ? Got any link ?

I took that off the top of my head. You can tell by the way I've written it. Do you know what the exact difference is?

@jigar2speed That's quite close really, much more than I'd have expected, which is great to see. No wonder it's unsettling Intel.

By the looks of it, IPC performance has been isolated by locking all the CPUs at 3.5GHz. I think it will be interesting to see how well the 2700X does against its upcoming competition, the 9900K.

Have you got a link to the article, for the full picture?

Of course, when buying a product, what ultimately matters is how it performs at stock settings compared to the competition, along with the price. Overclocking matters too, but less so, as it's not a guaranteed result and much fewer people overclock.

I agree overclocking matters and Intel wins big time in that department.

Check out the 2600K in some of the gaming benchmarks - it's bottom fo the pile by some margin, lol. I've got the 2700K, so it pretty much performs the same. I really need to upgrade and I've noticed how it can't hit those really high framerates in modern games lol. If I can get the 9900K it will probably be a full twice as fast.

Saying, "Jim Keller is a Genius." might be an understatement.

Keller's over at Intel these days, chopping it up with Koduri. Imagine what those two are going to do with nigh-unlimited resources courtesy of Daddy Chipzilla... brings a smile to my face...

Is Raja on the same level with Jim? I mean, where Jim built Zen, Raja built Vega?

Raja was S3, ATI, Apple, AMD, and now Intel. Koduri, Keller, and Papermaster were together for iPhone3-4. Intel dropped it's entire iGPU program into Raja's lap, and there probably is noone else in the world who you could entrust more with the kind of insane task Intel is asking of him: please make our iGPU not suck. Raja's opening act was to throw their silicon out and replace it with AMD tech.
