AMD will live stream its 6th Jan CES 2020 press conference

If Intel takes 90 minutes and AMD takes 60 minutes, then surely AMD is ~30% [30 mins] faster?

No.

If I am travelling 90 miles. Car A travelling at 60mph does 90 miles in 90 minutes. Car B does 90 miles in 60 minutes, how fast is Car B travelling?

How much faster than Car A is it travelling?

Professionals are still consumers are they not

Professional products are meant to pay for themselves and the use cases are all around the applicability of the professional market.
That's why the big price gap between top tier consumer products and top tier professional products. From support, stability, and ROI ... all is accounted for.

The consumer market is different where the use cases are way more personal, where emotions are way more present.

But that's only my point of view and my opinion

No.

If I am travelling 90 miles. Car A travelling at 60mph does 90 miles in 90 minutes. Car B does 90 miles in 60 minutes, how fast is Car B travelling?

How much faster than Car A is it travelling?

That's a flawed analogy.

Imagine they are traveling 1 mile and A takes 90 mins and B takes 60 mins.

60 x 1.30 = 90? Nice maths teach you at school.

Depends how you interpret it.
a) 3990X is 50% faster than the dual Xeon (60x1.50 = 90)
b) Dual Xenon is 30% (33.4% actually) slower than the 3990X (90*0.70 = 63)
(90*.667 = 60.03)

Late at night (01:30am) and after beers. We talk about time not just numbers. Mea culpa.

That's exactly the same thing. You've just changed the distance. The speeds are just now crazy slow.

The answer is 50% in both.

The laptop they showed is the Dell G5,which is the entry level Dell gaming laptop range with up 6 cores currently.

So its not a niche model at all.

 

[ElliorR]

I think the maths that matters is it was some 30 mins faster and around $16000 cheaper.

This.

Edit!!

Also the AMD system was using a single socket and the Intel system had two CPUs,which means much more power draw and more complex cooling requirements.

Yes, 30 minutes faster than 90 minutes... That's not 45 minutes (50%)!

Anyone else currently buying Dell Enterprise laptops knows there is an upto 6 week lead time on most models and 3070 Optiplex PCs due to Intel chip shortages, and this will only get worse as Intel announced its latest 14nm++ chips.

Hopefully Dell actually make laptops with AMD processors, and not just a few token options, as if they do I'll be swapping all ours to AMD every time I do a refresh run, quite simply that amount of power in a laptop makes a huge difference for our users, especially in departments that will take advantage of that extra power, CAD, Finance etc.

Can't wait.

Regrettable, we are an Intel shop.

The people who make the decisions say that "AMD aren't Enterprise-grade."

It wouldn't matter if every Intel laptop blew up and burned the building down. We are an Intel shop.

Doesn't matter if Amazon or Google or Microsoft use AMD in their data centre. They aren't Enterprise-grade. And that's that.

Honestly, you mention AMD round here and people actually laugh at you. "Not compatible with our databases or our servers," tends to be the usual reply.

It says it on the slide

Yeah saw the presentation. Is the other way around. LOL. We talking about time not money
Spare, is 01:40am after beers.

Updated my post. Need to go to bed then...

It's wrong. Doing something in 60 minutes instead of 90 minutes is 50% faster.

If you do something in half the time, you are twice as fast (100% faster). Not 50% faster.

This is really easy Maths. Talking primary school here.

edit:

Think of it this way. In the same time you will get 50% extra work done.

You should be very thankful to those customers if you’re an Intel only outfit because a lot of people are laughing at Intel.

To be honest the laptop arena was the last arena Intel had better products than AMD in. Do I'm not surprised AMD have gone hard after Intel here, it'll bring in huge revenue for them.

I’m sure others will if Dell don’t.

60 minutes is 66%(two thirds) of 90 minutes, therefore it is one third faster. 90 minutes is 50% more than 60 minutes.

Wow unbelievable.

Lets change from maths to sex ed as Intel has just been rammed up the ass
