AMD CES 2019 - thread with stream link

You found an engineering sample 8c/16t Zen 2-based Ryzen with unspecified clocks beating a 4.7GHz 9900K at 27% less system power and 40% lower TDP to be "underwhelming"? There's no pleasing some people.

And you do realise that ES Ryzen was literally half of what it's capable of because there was only 1 chiplet?

I suppose it depends on what you were looking for from the event. If you were hoping for amazing GPU news, then the event was underwhelming, but, from the CPU side of things, it was a great show.

People were really hoping for Navi news. On the graphics side it's really disappointing that 7nm Vega was the highlight of AMD's GPU presentation.

Nothing on the Navi roadmaps ever indicated we'd have a chat at the start of 2019. I think AdoredTV's Navi leak skewed perceptions of that. Looks like Computex is gonna be a big one.

Yes, but on the other hand it was quite nice to see the "SURPRISE! Here's something nobody was expecting, new card in less than a month!". Shows that it is possible to keep stuff under wraps.
