AMD on the road to recovery.

I'm really looking forward to building an all AMD system again. It's been nearly 8 years. Just need then to bring out something with 1080Ti speed for reasonable money and I'll swap out my GTX 1070 (good card). That plus Threadripper should last me a long time at 1440p.

Yeah waiting to see the 2920X performance before I make my mind. However with Gibbo winking on a post about the 2800X, makes me hold back until the end of October.
 
latest news is saying AMD could have a 2800X hidden up there sleeves ready to take on Intel's 9 series line-up when it releases, after all, they could have named the 2700X a 2800X and no one would have thought any differently about it, but it might explain all of those very overkill VRM's on high end X470 motherboards.

Where is this wink, i want to see it for myself :)
 
What could it be?

The 2700X has all its cores active and at 4.35Ghz boost its clocked as high as it will go.

My guess its salvaged EPYC 2 parts, 7nm Zen 2.

Nobody knows. We are going to speculation area here. Maybe the 7nm part in 12nm? That might explain 5 core CCX.

5 is an uneven number, a waste of die space, no one would ever do that, they would just use the space to add the sixth core.

My guess is the 7nm 16 core dies but with some cores either broken (salvaged parts) or deactivated, we will get the full fat 16 core dies with Ryzen 3000.

Assuming we do not go down the multi tiny chiplets like on last AdoredTv video about this subject.
 
8 Integer units ^^^^

i saw that video, i think he's wrong on that one, i think separating the Uncore from the cores is a rout AMD will go down but i think its too soon to do it right now, when they want to get past 100 cores yes but at this point there is a lot of room to grow in full chiplts yet.

Do you remember the MSI X470 M7 advertisement with "8 cores and up", and later when everyone started speculating it was removed?

"8-core and up" for now just confirms that X470 will be able to support Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 4000 series, coming in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
