Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

16GB is the lowest you can go and still populate the entire interface using chips that are still in mass production. So that's a lower bound. Recently, someone noticed a bunch of shipping manifests for Strix Halo testing boards, some of which had 32GB and others had 64GB. 128 is also possible...

Yes. They clock at core clock and the highest 1T boost of the non-x3d is notably higher.

News AMD 1Q2024 Earnings

I don't actually think that's true, it's just that the segments of the server market they are still holding are the ones with the lowest ASP. At this point, AMD is basically dominating hyperscaler sales. If you are purchasing mainly the highest-end chips, and are doing so by the truckload, you...

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

Do you already know the naming of the cards? How is the stack split? I would assume there would be two cuts of each die, and that would work fairly nicely with 800/700 and 600/500. If the leaked specs are right, I would expect it to always beat a 7800XT, and even if it didn't, AMD has launched...

Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

I'm honestly more than a bit skeptical of this. Because of batching, centralized inference is much more efficient and cost-effective than inference on the edge. The total amount of hardware needed to do a lot of inference is substantially (at least 10x, probably a lot more) less when the...

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

Consoles historically sold most of their units in the latter half of their lifecycle, after the chips were shrunk and the console cost-reduced to (typically) less than half of the launch price. Of those 160M units that PS2 moved, about a third were the original console at close to the launch...

Probably greater. They already have a working split AVX512 implementation, it would make a lot of sense to use that for the c part.

Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

The cats were built by a tiny team, that managed to massively outpetform expectations. The reason cat core development ended was not about the market, it was that someone (iirc Samsung? Not sure and I don't have time to check it) poached the entire team whole from AMD. This was before the Zen...

Question Is it actually true that AMD is actually publicly valued at over 3X what Intel is??

The market cap of AMD is a bit less than twice that of Intel, not 3.5 times (258B vs 134B). Market values are never about today, they are what people expect to happen in the future. People expect that Intel will continue to lose market share, and that the problems they face in the future are...

Only way that makes sense to me is if it uses some new kind of packaging that's not compatible with any existing dies. I am skeptical.

They are not available for when the first cards launch. I would expect Blackwell release to mirror Ada in that the initial launch just has the high-end chips.

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

AMD/ATi was the driving force behind a lot of the earlier GDDR standards, they co-operated with a memory manufacturer to develop both GDDR3 and GDDR5. They have benefited a lot from this in the past, RV770 wouldn't have been such a success if they had not been able to ship a card with a 256b bus...

There is no reason to make ES chips clock high. You can do the testing you need at low clocks, and just setting clocks low means you don't have to deal with binning for clocks, you can just take any chip off the line that passes functional testing and use it. It also helps hide real performance...

I would like to note that the lower IPC score has 8GB of ram. Probably this means that the memory interface is not fully populated. I have no idea how this impacts geekbench scores.

By AMD's current naming scheme, any mobile products released this year should be the 8000 series. So of course they will be the 9000 series, lol. (I have no clue what they will actually be.)
