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

would this work in the trx40 board available now?

my impression was trx80 board was needed last article I read on this or some special board designed for this 64 core cpu because of power draw.

According to AMD's own website, and I believe the press conference as well, it says TRX40.

"64 cores provide an astonishing 128 threads of simultaneous multi-processing power, while 288MB of combined cache and vast I/O from the enthusiast-grade AMD TRX40 platform work together to deliver incredible performance."

I've got an ROG Zenith II Extreme ordered, will install it in the case way in advance of the 3990X release, as well as finalise the custom watercooling loop :).
 
Thats is great and glad that they are out so fast only one month after announcement. Wish the 3950x didn't take that long since the July announcement but it was the exception.

Can someone tell me why CPUs get announced and a few weeks later usually or a month are released (some without stock though ahem 3900x..) but a monitor that gets announced in CES 2019 is still not properly out? Same with mobile phones even cheapo brands they announce them and they are out for sale with plenty of stock in a month or less.

Is the monitor business that much of a niche that they don't get to make any at all? Why hype for a product a year and some times even 2 years beforehand, consumers forget it exists or till then new goodies will be announced and the old one will be too old tech.

i'd really like to think we're going to see AMD consolidate a good position in the cpu market with the next gen of processors then turn their attention to the gpu market once they have the resources and the financial backing to do so if i were nvidia i would be very nervous about what amd are capable of having witness them more or less bitch slap intel

Well it takes time for changes to happen, but as we saw last year in the desktop space and server space AMD have started to dominate. Server market share is still low, but I think every company looking to upgrade will almost definitely go for an EPYC sku instead of an intel one.

This year I expect AMD to continue to perform as well, if not better, in this department and also start to dominate the mobile APU market as well with their new Renoir chips getting announced.

GPU is tricky, but they are clearly still doing well to compete with Nvidia at the low/mid tier, but the top tier is still Nvidia currently, but that may easily change soon with the announcement of a potential 5900xt (or whatever navi 21 will be called)

What are you going to be doing with it?

Using it, admiring it?

Joke aside :P.

For starters:
- My ARK and ATLAS cluster (these can be pretty CPU demanding)
- Email and web server
- NAS
- Small PBX
- Shared gaming rig perhaps (Unraid I imagine), e.g. more than one monitor and more than one GPU sharing the same motherboard, memory and processor but isolated from each other in virtual environments
- Whatever else I'll need to run or try for the forseeable future, with the amount of processing power that CPU will have available :)

I can shutdown my RS815+ NAS and then probably sell that on for something, as used but fully working of course.

I know the 3990X wasn't targeted for gaming (as one of the reasons stated above, a shared gaming rig possibility), but I thought I would check out the possibility of also ideally combining everything into one highly powerful system. Perhaps I'm a little insane, perhaps I'm not. I'd like to think this system will last me a good few years or even longer. I can't see any need to upgrade for a good few years with the amount of processing power this has as well as the memory capacity, the fact it's PCI-E Generation 4 and has 10Gbit LAN capability as well as Wi-Fi 6 onboard. I doubt I'll be near to taxing its full potential lol.

With high-end GPUs now having a USB port it means you can connect a hub for a mouse and keyboard and easily know which devices go together.

With everything virtualised on the same box, you won't even need a LAN, save to connect to the internet.
 
Well done AMD in showing fake renders of the new XBox in your keynote :D Not only that but breaching the terms of using said render from the site they got them from :D

Couldn't they of just asked for some images from Microsoft being such a close partner :p

Yeah, but AMD do as they like. AMD don’t ask, they tell :p

Makes you wonder right? How did that slip in there? You would think they get the content from the partners to make sure its legit.

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 :)

Works both ways though :p

Cheaper, quicker and easier as well as not actually releasing any details to public before Microsoft want too.

Showing off official renders might give more away and we are very early on year considering expected release date
