AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

It will be losing 1-2% because that throughput is equal to PCIe 3.0 x16.

Aren't more lanes additional coming from the chipset?

I've never bought an amd motherboard, do they sometimes have 3rd party chipsets to offload things such as SATA from the CPU pcie lanes?

I don't think the asrock rack one I was looking at does.

Something worth considering with the latest graphics advances if your planning on using anything more than a single gfx card unless there are boards that retain x16 speed on the main slot even when other slot(s) are occupied.

So you're talking to a bunch of friends and that one guy on open mic is constantly typing, this is that guy, how is it he didn't even get the basics right for such an important interview, every PC gamer knows when you're on open mic everyone can hear you typing and its really annoying.

The guy apologised for that. Turns out that he's human.

Also has a PhD in chem/physics simulations from Oxford, so he's probably brighter than most of us.

The interview was really interesting as well, lots of titbits I haven't heard elsewhere.

No, the only chipset is in the name of the motherboard such as X570, which is made by AMD, which is basically just the same as Intel boards.

And with the graphics cards, unless you in the <0.1% of the userbase running dual Rtx3090 cards, it's really not an issue.

I agree with him, I feel media who just do videos and no articles are lazy, I always find it much easier to consume text than watch a video, especially as most youtube videos feel deliberately stretched out. I have seen 20 minute long videos for something that can be explained in 30 seconds.

That is true, its the YouTube algorithm, the longer the video the more it gets boosted, anything less than 10 minutes long doesn't even appear in the search results, it encourages people to make longer videos and quite often they try to drag 2 minute content out to 12 minutes, its full of filler, repeating themselves, digressing all over the place.... really annoying.

I don't care about any of that, met plenty of people with PhD's who are really stupid.

I can't remember all the timings as it was a while ago but I think CL was set to 20, it was more of a test to see how fast I could get the ram running on my B450 rather than tuning it as the product page for the board says only up to 4133 is possible.

Since i'm currently running it at 3800/14 with zen2 I think it should do 4200/16 and 4400/18 depending on how fast the FCLK goes if I decide to upgrade to zen 3.

Do you remember what quality % your memory is under dram calc?

I am also sure lots of people with PhD's have met those without PhD's who are also really stupid too.

:D

They just needed The Fixer to make a cameo and it would have been complete! The green blood...subtle hint?

:P

Hope this doesn't qualify as rainman talk but do we reckon there will be less poorly binned chips at launch compared to 3000 since 7nm has been around a while now?

You would think it would be more refined by now. That said it is expected to perform to a higher standard than the 3000 series which may offset things.

Sandra my 9900k @ 5.2: https://ranker.sisoftware.co.uk/show_run.php?q=c2ffcfe988e9d4ecd9e8d1e8d8fe8cb180a6c3a69bab8dfec3f3

Should be a good fight!

According to that the 9900K is significantly faster, i wouldn't put too much faith in it, Intel own it and they have a history of using gimped code path when AMD CPU's are detected.

Wait for "real world performance".
