From what I can gather DLSS/framegen and denoising are always going to be a problem while RT remains a focus.
Software techniques like ReSTIR can only do so much to mitigate the problem of computational complexity involved.
Or alternative interests.
I used to be mad into gaming as a kid, but these days I'm all played out and books, screen media and music are my jazz.
Remaining hardware interest is more curiosity and possible (but unrealistic) aspirations of putting my bachelors degree to use on 3D environment...
But Phenom (Agena/Phenom1's initial problems aside) was not - so why not just reboot Phenom, which IMHO was a decent brand name.
Ehhhh.....
Not to the extreme extent of FX, but arguable at the very least that it hasn't experienced serious problems in the past.
HD 2xxx was an unmitigated...
IMHO it's definitely a cultural and environmental thing, and one that I would argue is definitely shifting with the times - slower than with boys/men, but certainly happening.
I've met plenty of gamer girls during my recent uni years who spent far more time at a PC or in front of a games...
Perhaps it needs a rebrand after all this time.
Just as with Athlon -> Phenom -> FX -> Ryzen.
Radeon has a very long lineage at this point, which is both in its favor and against it.
You have the established name, but also all the baggage that comes with failed products, and times that the...
They wouldn't be the first to give up on Mali, tho I doubt it will be company wide - probably just for limited higher market segments like Dimensity 9000.
Be interesting to see areal density too.
Given Bergamo was only a 1.33x increase in cores over Genoa and the Zen5 successor is supposed to be more like 1.5x there must be a significant difference in layout there too.
Even if they don't manage a big shift in µArch over RDNA4 they are certainly overdue a major increase in ALUs over N31 to compete with nVidia without going crazy on clocks.
Dunno about SME, but SVE was developed first as an ARM/academic research effort, and then later with Fujitsu for the Fugaku/A64FX supercomputer CPU core into the SVE1 instruction set.
The research instruction set was called Argon (like Neon or Helium):
Here is a link to the original...
Are you saying that Cortex A5xx, 7xx and X cores do not even have it in their baseline IP despite it being part of the v9-A spec?
..... Huh, I was sure it would at least be in Neoverse V2 or V3, but I can't find any reference to it at all - which you would assume would be there if they wanted...
Not sure that AVX is directly comparable to SME, even though it has AI/ML type instructions.
Intel's AMX sounds more like it fits the bill as a direct competitor to SME, I think I saw somewhere that it might be included in Zen5, which given the sheer amount of time it has been around isn't a...
Given the whole AI kick that the consumer electronics industry has been on it does seem especially strange for Mediatek to have disabled SME when they don't have the excuse of gimping their current SoC's to make future custom CPU core laden ones seem equal or better.
I wonder if there is a...
Still a little hazy on that.
PR way back implied that Nuvia wanted to design X core, but Qualcomm after acquiring them wanted Y core due to a difference in priorities a la Nuvia originally targeting servers for Phoenix.
The question is, exactly how much change happened in the concept phase...
From what I understand SVE1 lacked various instructions for full functional parity to NEON, so there is little reason to implement it on consumer SoC's on its own.
I hope it has SVE2 also then.
Up until now there has been no impetus for OSS to actually start playing with SVE2, especially if they already have comprehensive NEON code paths.
Went back to that ARM rumor site and found something odd under Cortex X6:
Implication seems to be a new core IP segment between X and A7xx starting with this 'Alto'.
Not sure if this is just a bad translation or not.
From a realism POV it is the future sure, but in terms of acceptable performance I think as with RT in general PT is being pushed far earlier than the available hardware capabilities.
This is the entire point in pushing DLSS for nVidia since Turing.
Even then they are still denoising the heck...
IMHO real time RT software techniques are still very much in flux as nVidia scrambles to make RT as viable as possible to game devs having stepped in it by pushing the change long before the hardware or software was truly ready for it.
Knowing that I don't see how they could be truly future...
Did it actually fail?
Or did they just put it on R&D slowburn because AMD offered them the shorter path to a functional product?
If this rumor is real I'm inclined to think the latter because they didn't just whip this up recently.
After all, with AMD restricting what they can do with their...
Zen 5 is a CPU core µArch, not a product in of itself.
I imagine there will be plenty Turin server and Strix + Kraken APU sales even if Granite Ridge doesn't do so well for them.
Ooooof, case in point why consumer gfx cards and APUs are not likely to get HBM in the near future.....
