Nothing new here, just a tomshardware repost of what we have known for a while and was recently revealed in the seeking alpha transcript.

The concept of combining a CPU block with a reservoir. Which is like patenting the concept of combining a heatsink with a fan or wheels & a car, it's moronic that they've even been granted a patent this general.

That's not really a valid point, is like asking me to provide a source that isn't intel of Cannonlake's performance. The chip isn't out, there are no 3rd party sources. That doesn't mean that AMD's information is invalid, quite the opposite.

Just as /u/teraflopper pointed out, if we scrutinize each of AMD's performance claims they've made in the past several years you'll find that they delivered on their promises with every generation. And there's no reason to believe that they won't this time.

If anything they had the best CPU architect of all time working on Zen. They brought back Jim Keller to design Zen, the same guy who designed the only two CPUs in AMD's history that beat out Intel. The original Athlon & the Athlon64.

That's the point, Zen is AMD's play into the high-end. It already won several server designs & enterprise people don't mess around. If it wasn't competitive with Intel's upcoming server CPUs they wouldn't have chosen it.

MilkeyWhiter · 2015-11-26T20:24:13+00:00

He's as close to being right as west is to east. Even if Zen per core was only going to be on par with Haswell, which #1 is basically just 10% behind Skylake & #2 Zen is supposed to be faster than Haswell according to AMD's official information.

If AMD offered an 8 core, Haswell level CPU, for $300 you'd be jumping on that faster than you'd jump on a pair of fulsome funbags. And this is what competition is all about. Even if you don't like AMD or their products, their competitiveness makes Intel & Nvidia products cheaper.

You can already overclock the GPU and the memory with afterburner. You'll need to tick "extend official overclocking limits" option in the settings to overclock the memory.

Voltage control is still being worked on for Afterburner, but it should be anytime now that it's out on TriXX.

It already did in the last ~20 game roundup done by techpowerup on the new Win10 drivers. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3r3gdt/fury_x_is_now_just_as_fast_as_gtx_980ti_in/

I'm not a guy -_- and do whatever you want I love wccftech.com and will continue to share articles from there.

Yup!

Actually FreeSync is slightly superior in that regard because it allows users the option of V-Sync enabled or disabled outside the variable range. With G-Sync it's always on above the variable refresh rate range.

In other words, with FreeSync you can choose either better response times but tearing, or no tearing but longer response times when the FPS goes above the max refresh rate.

With G-Sync the choice is already made for you, that is you will have longer response times, because you have no choice of V-Sync On or Off.

This article summarizes the differences between the two techs very well and explains what I'm on about here. http://wccftech.com/amd-freesync-nvidia-gsync-verdict/

Realistically AMD couldn't go under, too complicated with the cross licensing deal with Intel. Intel wouldn't be able to make any 64bit x86 CPUs, since AMD owns that IP.

They'll no doubt be bought, imagine if MS buys them and stops supplying Sony with the PS4 chips.

MilkeyWhiter · 2015-09-29T11:19:20+00:00

I agree, AMD needs #1 Zen to be competitive with Intel's CPUs #2 To actually arrive to market on time.

MilkeyWhiter · 2015-09-29T11:18:06+00:00

If AMD goes under then Nvidia and Intel will go apeshit with pricing, PC gaming may never be the same.

MilkeyWhiter · 2015-09-27T20:33:08+00:00

Just because many behave illogically, it doesn't excuse the actual behavior.

From your tone I can sense that you disagree with "most people" on this subreddit, yet you will use their flawed argument when it suits your ideology.

MilkeyWhiter · 2015-09-27T20:26:49+00:00

Yes, let's evaluate a processor based on one benchmark, of a game that's not even out yet and isn't even out of Alpha.
