Have you stopped and thought about what drivers could have been meant?
The comment I quoted did not say which specific drivers. It only said AMD will not provide Win10 drivers for Strix. So I assume it relates to drivers necessary for running Win10.

What drivers do you think it means?

Chipset drivers for big.LITTLE scheduling. But again, nobody is buying a Strix Win10 laptop in 2024.

Could this mean less sales for nVidia of AI related HW to datacenters going forward, since (part of) the work will be done on client PCs instead?

Looking at the nVidia projections, their arrow has so far been pointing upwards for a long time with no end in sight.
There are folk out there that have posted large question marks on NVidia's current valuation;


His timing might be somewhat off, but I think the gist is right. Inference will increasingly be done on edge/client hardware. But I'm just a layperson not an analyst.

Edit:

Would be interesting to know how much ram they had in the system

Well, a 5-10% IPC gain with clock regression is not at all surprising if I'll be honest. Just making the core wider and increasing total throughput, which appears to be what AMD has done, is actually a hilariously inefficient way to increase IPC on x86 due to register dependencies and memory/cache bottlenecks. Looks like the hype train has unsurprisingly derailed itself again.

God, Arrow Lake might actually be competitive at this rate.

Lmao, is this a joke? just noticed a lot of new people here with very similar responses.

There is not going to be a clock regression with Zen 5 because they are staying on the 5nm (N4). I think Intel will surprise a lot of people with Arrow Lake.

So true, Zen5% has been downgraded to Zen0%.

There will be a clock regression if they run into a thermal wall by widening the core. I expect RPL-S level TDPs for high end GNR.

You obviously haven't been around that time
I've been around for long enough to know that without comprehensive evidence it is best to wait for the official product launch.



Obviously you havent been around long enough in this thread from a few pages back when i said we wont tollerate stuff like this, as it also has no commentary and serves no point or purpose.

I deleted your pointless picture post, and if you do it again, you will start collecting infraction post.

Pre-launch BD dividied the forum crowd to two groups:
* the hype train ppl - "all new architecture", "8 cores", "SMT killed by cluster", "FMA4!"
* the IPC fail ppl - "2 ALUs", "0.5 FPU", "16k L1D lmao"

On the other hand, Zen 5 has been hyped to the sky since that weird remark in that interview of AMD's Mr. Clark.

It's odd to see such hype, since you know. Zen 1-4 are definitely very successful designs but... AMD got definitely not a stellar track record of making "brand new things".

K8 was reiterated several times. K9 got cancelled completely. K10 mutated itself after many many years to Bulldozer. Initial 10h was late and plagued with low clocks and bugs. 45nm Bulldozer failed completely. 32nm Bulldozer almost brought the company down. 16h's followup did not make it. That ARM server almost did not make it. Skybridge/K12 got canned.

Yeah, Zen5's going to get crushed under it's own hype train. That much has been obvious for a while now. As will Intel's idiotic "Royal Core" which is literally a reimplementation of Bulldozer.

People forget that Moore's law was taken out behind the barn and shot about a decade ago. Any performance improvements going forward are going to be incremental in nature.

What's Moores law go to do with anything,
like do you even have the slightest clue what your talking about ?

if its so obvious why don't you give us a detailed micro uarch run down of how Zen5 is going to improve performance so badly while spending so big on uarch resources. Like what are the bottlenecks and the specific major short comings.

@Goop_reformed : So then what did you mean by the comment at the top above?
That there several new posters talking trash all of sudden

Like this, with no merits whatsoever.
