Object detection makes almost no difference in the comparison between Raptor Lake / Zen 4 / M3. They're all on par.
M4 object detection is twice the score as all of them. So now it's an issue because now it makes a difference and it is implemented using an even less applicable extension (where...
Read the thread again it's all been said.
Zen 4 is still only on par with its competition, Raptor Lake, in that subtest. Both using 256 bit vector operations.
SVL for M4 is 128 bits and the ZA size is 128x128 bits and it can do that far fewer cycles. So it ends up twice the score of its...
In closed form & in exchange for access to their patches over Wine. Meanwhile Mesa has Microsoft contributors and has for years. Apple's not really changing at all. Use wherever possible, give back as little as possible and avoid GPL like the plague. The other American megacorps at least do play...
People keep saying Radeon hasn't been relevant in a decade or more (on certain sites).
But wasn't RDNA2 competitive? Are they gaslighting me or was I wrong and it wasn't worth considering? The only reason I ended up with a RTX 3080 10GB at the time (Nov 2020) was because it was in stock first, I...
License disclosure indicates they are in fact using some of DXVK's code. They could open source it to show to what extent they are using it but they won't because Apple.
Edit: It could be that it's entirely in the (L)GPL Wine components but since they bundle it all together who knows. But even...
Unironically some engineers like doing it.
But otherwise not much. If you scroll back to my original post on the matter: Apple is more closed than pretty much all their peers in both hardware and software. And often to the detriment of consumers some of who then bend over backward defending...
Which is based on and includes code from DXVK. Yet again Apple taking advantage of permissive license morons and not distributing their derivative source code (of course they have no legal obligation, but simple non-American ethics follows a take and give back model).
Not the best defence of Apple. Vulkan implementations do exist on Windows (not much due to Microsoft but they still do create extensions for it and even have their own wrapper targeting D3D12 upstreamed in Mesa).
There's no Vulkan implementation on MacOS except wrappers like MoltenVK (which...
If by wider we mean many available execution units then Goldmont (etc) sounds like a good match for SMT with all its execution units. But it deliberately doesn't have it. Are the execution units too limited? Or is the dual decoder approach enough to keep execution units busy without needing SMT?
Nope, that is Microsoft's job. If a company doesn't release drivers for their operating system that's their choice.
It isn't like Qualcomm where Qualcomm wants their chips to run Microsoft software. Apple doesn't care about being Windows compatible (anymore).
Windows (on ARM) actually specifically targets/supports the Apple Mx CPUs. But the problem is no drivers for the rest of the SoC.
In any case, it's not like the Boot camp days (which I miss).
I'm pretty confident AMD can figure out how to waste more area on an optical flow accelerator, bigger ray tracing accelerators, and more 8 bit matrix multipliers.
But they'll do it for semi-custom customers first and then PC gamers will get the hand-me-downs.
This composite ST score says it is 50% faster than M2. For some reason I don't think that's representative of the performance difference.
Apple themselves chose to say it's 50% faster in multi-threaded (Affinity Photo 2 benchmark) for a reason.
When you're Apple's scale you get to do that. Dual stack OLED was first developed by and is manufactured by the Koreans. Yet if remembered at all it'll be as Apple's Tandem OLED. That's just how it goes.
AMD had a 3 Golden Rabbits for China last year - 6750 GRE 10GB, 6750 GRE 12GB and 7900 GRE.
The 6750 GREs are basically rebranded 6700 and 6700 XT. Not worth a thread.
They increased clock rate 25% and also L1 cycles by 25% over 2 years. It may (possibly!) be related. But it's the same access time isn't it?
Also they must have made changes elsewhere to compensate. IPC isn't dropping. Apple says power isn't increasing. Pursuing high clock rate is a good thing...
Really? On the same chip or another? Seems huge. People say SRAM scaling stalled on N5/N3. And if I'm eyeballing it correctly that'd be like 70% of a current CCD's size just for the 64MB L3.
If you do rendering or dozens of VMs and containers? Minmaxing. Used 2P server boards have been able to offer more MT throughput per $. Though I haven't looked at eBay prices lately.
Can't think of another reason in the era when 56/64/96 core processors are marketed to prosumers. 1 CPU is now...
It was partially my fault I brought up Turin after he mentioned power draw because I'm pretty sure Intel won't be backing off from power draw there as they need to do elsewhere.
But if Arrow Lake doesn't crash, has an only-P-core SKU with better than 9800X3D gaming performance and lower power...
Don't give Intel any kudos for that. It was almost entirely through ignoring power. This is not a luxury the Apple tablet/MBA SoC has with their hatred of fans (and I appreciate it).
I find AVX 512's flexibility to operate on data types larger than 16 bits make it more applicable than SME. It's more akin to SVE (which no one is deducting?).
And where did I say that?
Here is what AMD says about it:
"The core complex unit (CCX) consists of 8 Zen 3 cores, each with a 0.5MB private L2 cache, and a 32MB shared L3 cache. Increasing this from 4 cores and 16MB L3 in the prior generation provides additional performance uplift, in addition...
Turin has how many cores with that 25% more TDP? I can't remember if it was 128 cores or 192 cores total. In either case they feel pressured to piggyback on 500W Granite Rapids thermal solutions.
But back on topic: Intel 13/14900K are still returning incorrect results and crashing the most...
Wow, you've proved AMD's comparison between Zen 2 and Zen 3 wrong using a small subset of tests comparing Zen 4 to Zen 4 X3D.
Honestly I'm not sure what the point is here other than obfuscation. More cache is good for some games and that's why Zen 3 was well above the geomean AMD showed for...
