Hopefully they would work out better than the pot dispensaries supposedly set up by the state of Minnesota. They legalized pot more than 2 years ago, and still don't have the distribution system set up to sell it. I mean they cant even sell something that everybody wants. Or maybe private...
Yea, where are the high core count Bartlet Lake processors? With the hardware escalation for new games, six core processors with relatively low clockspeed are a no go IMO. Hell, BL4 (not known as cutting edge graphics) has an 8 core cpu (albeit older w/o hyperthreading) as the minimum requirement.
Well, to be fair, the E cores in that processor are for more performant than the Atom cores rebranded an "Pentium" in low end laptops of some years ago. There should be plenty of processing power in that cpu for routine use.
A six core processor with an unstable history? No thanks. I know the problems have supposedly been "solved", but I am still skeptical. And then there is the issue of a user without a lot of expertise trying to make sure all the updates are installed correctly.
Bottom line, is I just hate to see...
So you think it is a good thing that if your rig is more than 2 years old, you should be out of luck?
To answer your question: Ryzen 5 series: 9600X, 7600X(around 2 years ago, maybe slightly more). Older, but still popular Intel 12(13,14)-400. These were considered good low end processors. I...
Basically it is just going to shift people to consoles, I think. Previously, you could run games on quite old/weak hardware by decreasing resolution/settings. Now, not so much. Games are starting to require powerful cpu/gpu combinations to even play the game.
Yea, I think 6 HT cores will run it. How smooth it will be is another question. If it plays out like RT on the gpu side, I think 6 cores will be inadequate sooner than later. And with a cpu, you cant just turn down settings.
Just wondering what others' thoughts are on this. The minimum CPU requirement for BL4 is Intel 9700 or Ryzen 2700x. Both 8 cores. I realize the 9700 does not have hyperthreading, so a strong 6 core with hyper threading may still suffice. However, this could mark the beginning of the end for six...
I haven't tried XeSS. I didnt know it worked on AMD cards, I thought it was for Intel only. TBH, I think FSR on the 7600 is worthless: Very little increase in performance and horrible image quality, no matter what the setting. From what I understand it is much better on the current AMD architecture.
When I bought the 7600, the only 16GB card that would fit my case and run on my PSU was the 4060 Ti 16GB. Way overpriced, and availability was sketchy at best. I bought in a rush because I thought the tariffs were going to absolutely destroy the hardware market. Little did I know that most...
I have a RX 7600 and an older 8700K. Ray tracing really kills my performance. Unfortunately, some games are starting to use it by default, and you cannot disable it. Upscaling is basically worthless on this AMD card as well; the games look simply terrible (very blurry) at any setting of frame...
I am not a chip designer, so this is a legitimate question, not a criticism. Which is more important, the absolute amount of cache, or the cache per core? I ask this because even though the proposed Zen 6 CCD has 50% more cache, it also has 50% more cores, so the cache per core is 4MB in both...
Hopefully you are right that the E core is closer to the P core in total throughput, but I was using a conservative estimate. Don't forget, the E cores have both an IPC and a clock speed deficit compared to the P cores. For instance in the 285K, the clock speed deficit alone is 20%.
Here is my estimate of MT performance. 24 zen cores is 24 real cores plus 24 hyperthreading cores (estimate HT adds 25%), so that makes 30 "effective" real cores. If in fact NL has 16 plus 32, (assume E core 60% of P core-- that is 19 "P core equivalents"). So that leads to 35 "effective" real...
