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

[muon]

... i just want nvidia(Jensens's ego actually) to have a bashing.. i also want unicorns to come visit me from time to time.

Problem is that nvidia unlike Intel have been offering far more than 10% gen-on-gen. Pascal was really a great architecture. nvidia also know how to make massive chips.

So unless they increase the socket size again, 64 cores will be the max for a few years until the next real process shrink.

Yep. I think 64c is ample for now though, there will be ipc and clock speed bump to come yet for them as well.

 

[humbug]

ah yes xD I just read the stat that was given on top of the tests

Ah yes, i was just told this, did see it, they got that wrong

Apparently TRX40 isn't for just 2 generations, at least according to AMD.

 

[AMDPower]

no Navi 21 nvidia 2080ti killer, disappointing

I guess it depends on how you do the maths... it took a little over 2/3 of the time (63 mins vs 90) = done in 70% of the time. I guess that's where they got their 30% faster from.

I think now that they've reached 64 cores. It's a case of improving the cores as much as they can. They've probably pushed 7nm and the chiplet design as far as it will go.

Right, yet the Xeon's would need to be 50% faster to match the score.

Both ways work i guess...

Exon

 

[muon]

Well saying the Intel chip is 30% slower would be an accurate statement.

The laptop looks impressive!!

Yeah, both of them. But that Dell one, thought there must be a mistake given it's small size (thickness). I was looking at my Predator 15 at the same time trying to compare. Is half the size, let alone less weight and far more powerful. And because I travel a lot is the first thing going to buy this year when comes out (Q2 she said). At $800 also!!!!!!!

 

[humbug]

Shut up you

 

[SiDeards73]

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.

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.

 

[Postmodum]

Really great laptop CPUs ...
All the rest of the keynote ... meh ...
CES = Consumer Electronics Show ... Threadripper is not ... exactly a consumer product... more towards the professional market ...

Was hoping some more hype All the audience too ... when they were clapping ... we could feel they were expecting something more

 

[sideways14a]

Prob go past 64 cores when the memory situation changes, they will need more bandwidth when pushing large core chips - then again thats only 2021 for what? Zen 4.

 

[pete910]

Threadripper is not ... exactly a consumer productl

Professionals are still consumers are they not

We do know Zen 3 what it brings, with the abolision of the CCX etc. However we also know the Zen 3 chiplets are smaller also and AMD moves the I/O to 7nm. With new design which is must faster and at less than half size. Plenty of space there to put another 16 cores and round it to 80 cores

Hell, even desktop market might see 24 core CPU given than 3rd Zen 3 chiplet would fit there with the new shrank I/O

 

[Dirk Diggler]

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

Makes sense for them to hit the laptop segment. There is a lot of revenue to be tapped in there and with the good branding momentum they got its the best time to go full speed ahead with this. Getting Dell on board is a big thing, wondering though if it is just a laptop or a loads from Dell with AMD
