AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

They hype train is a warp 9 now, cant be stopped.
Nearly 4300 R15 on a not finalised clocks chip is so so daft... thats an enormous increase in grunt for the desktop market.

4300 the value itself isn't even close to the absolute records achieved with 2990WX.
The more important metric is the 14% IPC increase. This will put Ryzen 3000 on top of the IPC charts with ~estimated 168 CB points @3.5GHz. :eek:



 
Well yes 43 aint "big" compared to the monster that is the 2990w or what Rome will do or even overclocked chips but its coming in an AM4 package out of the box like that (or higher)
To me that seems like a massive leap for the desktop user.

Of course though the second graph for single core is even more important, 200p on R15 without stupid clocks possible?
 
From a business perspective. Why would you release a chip that utterly destroys your competition with massive leaps in performance when you can release one that just beats the competition and leaves you with plenty more on the back shelf to release later. I'm just not expecting anything "epic" I expect "enough".

148 @3.5Ghz +14% IPC = 169 @ 3.5Ghz

169 @ 3.5Ghz
3.5Ghz + 43% = 5.0Ghz
169 + 43% = 242.
169 + 20% = 202. 3.5Ghz + 20% = 4.2Ghz
 
My current predicament is whether or not to stay up and watch the stream live, or watch it when I wake up. I feel like watching it live will make it much more exciting (or disappointing, should it happen), but that means staying up till 4am. Or is it 2am.

This might be the biggest 'first world problem' I've ever had:o

I've committed myself to staying away from Tech news and watching it in the eve.
 
So all these chipset hot running reports may be due to the SSD side of things and the chipset being real pushed in raid.
Think i will need to get myself another M2 drive then to run my boot volume in raid as i dont like the idea of a fan being on my motherboard not doing owt :D:D:D

NVMe Raid, apparently PCIe 4 is causing the heat when fast NVMe drives are running in Raid 0.
