That bloke really is quite good at what he does. Great analysis.

AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***
- Thread starter Jamin280672
- Start date
*****, My maths is nearly as bad as Humbugs
Also Happy new year
Its ok, as usual @harry5522 fixed it for me.......
Got one of these in the post.
Wouldn't help as I'd still have to press the correct key as in divide instead of times
Will the 3000 series still support the X370 AM4 mobos?
Just wondering, because I can potentially see VRMs becoming a limiting factor again with the crazy core counts & I would like to pick up a cheap older mobo with a top spec VRM like the Asrock X370 Professional Gaming but I want to make sure it will work.

Just over 1 week to go people
Until what? Excited for Zen2 but I’m only loosely following it right now.
AMD at CES will officially announce Zen 2 based CPUs. Actual availability is expected 2-3 months later.
To be honest, I don’t really expect to find out much more if anything that has already been leaked at this point.
I am more keen to see if the leaks are accurate and to get an update on GPUs from AMD
It is not about the maths but about proving that there is no new Ryzen 3000 series CPU which wouldn't be able to be fitted in X370/X470 since their circuitry is very overengineered.
I have a feeling that AMD will release VEGA II to compete with 2080 and 2080ti or there about, even if VEGA is expensive to product they can still price it such that they make profit and much cheaper than NVIDIA. I cant see Nvidia dropping the price of the 2080TI too much without starting to haemorrhage money. They are using such a big die. AMD are all set to take both the lower and higher end market if only they get the price to performance correct. This time round its going to be different, a lot of people are not happy with what both Intel and Nvidia have done with prices.
I suppose its all speculation, not long left now.
He's saying the replacement for Vega 64 will be half the price and half the TDP, that's not great analysis IMO, that's typical Jim's throw stuff at a wall to see what sticks.
AMD's strategy in releasing new graphics cards is poor. It resembles the strategies of some other companies who were bankrupted. 3DFx... for instance.
Their not really targeting consumers with their GPUs currently IMO, i guess they pretty much know their cards are inferior, when compared to the competition, for gaming.
What i initially said was more directed at people who consider Jim's videos to be good, like i said IMO he just throws stuff out there and then people claim he's good because 10-20% of what he says is close'ish to what actually happened.
Anyho that's all rather OT.

Seems unlikely doesn't it?

Actually he was bang on about EPYC 2, Ryzen 2000 and RTX, no one but him predicted the RTX naming.
He's pretty well informed tho i'm with you on Vega II.
From what I've seen he has been correct about the most important details. There's nothing you could say where he claimed to be confident and was wrong.
In his latest video, if you look at the communications coming out of AMD, I'd agree with his latest leak.
No one until him, even thought AMD were going to announce anything at CES. AMD historically never have.
He might not be wrong when he’s speaking about the mid range card that will be a direct replacement (give or take) to Vega 64 performance (Navi 12?) Die shrink and not such an aggressive core voltage could easy get to those sorts of figures.
It might be simply what AMD hoping for. I don't think he can speak for exact performance.
He was arguably off on the RTX card's performance. But I can see how Nvidia were trying to spin those numbers internally and eventually externally (DLSS, interger shaders etc.)
What did he say about RTX performance?
I think the initial numbers were something like +50% performance on like for like cards, which would have put the 2080 convincingly above the 1080Ti.
10080Ti +50% on the 2080Ti as well. Don't think that is how it panned out.
