thats a great deal
talking about computers, there’s a new Threadripper CPU coming out with 8 channel RAM that caps at 2TB vs the 256GB the current models max out at. it’s expected to come out on one of those xx80 chipsets that had been spotted a while back.
rumored, in 2019, without ever getting confirmed
the chipset isn’t confirmed…the new CPU is. and being the TW40 isn’t octo channel, the new xx80 likely are. makes sense too…40 for quad channel and 80 for octo channel, LoL:
well, the Threadripper refresh details have leaked:
yup saw it in wan show. Its the middle ground between normal threadripper and EPYC. To sum it up easilly.

indeed. I wonder if they’ll bring official / supported ECC support. all Ryzen spec say they support ECC, but testing proves it to be inconclusive / inconsistent. 
Apparently so for the new Pro series
Another Win for Amd and Consumers, $800 laptop beats $1800 laptop in performance mode.
Sounds good to me.
AFAIK AMD said the CPU supports it, it is on the mobo makers if they want to support it.

Indeed it is mine too
yes…AMD has been very user focused. my only complaint is how they put their APU’s with the next gen numbering system but previous gen architecture.
here’s hoping they balance that out with their next socket.
I really want to see a jump in graphical performance in next year’s APUs I know the APUs are pretty capable. But I want to see a but better performance in eSports titles like .valorant and overwatch. But honestly I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. I’m glad the current APUs perform great and honestly I’ve just been using them in htpc and office builds more than anything.
they have to be careful there…they don’t want to eat into their discrete GPU sales.
buuut, with Intel’s Xe, it’s going to push them so that they ensure they at least match. but, since they like beating Intel at everything lately, it only makes sense they’ll step the iGPU up to embarrass them.
they’ve got the space…the Ryzen 4000 APU’s are 40w processors I believe, so they definitely have headroom to do better. I won’t complain about a 60w or 90w APU with 2 or 3x the GPU performance of Intel.
not to mention that the entry level GPU market is quite stagnant. only card out there is the GT 1030. There is the RX 5300, Dell just released a tower with it, but word is it will be an OEM only card for their desktops. hella better to see that then the GT 710 or 730 they were coming out with before though!
Thing is an APU will be better and cheaper than any Dedicated entry level gpu. As there really is no point unless they come in pre builts as they get huge discounts on the parts. And AMD really could of done what intel did and insanely price their parts but they didnt and im so glad they did, they dont only just outperform but hugely out budget the other offers. Heres to another great few years of actually good competition as competition means lower prices 
Just wish AMD can up their GPU game, granted the 5800xt is a beast for the price but they could do with reaching the High end gpu market.
How would an APU do that?
Business/office boxes are a seperate market anyway, so ignore those.
People who play games on a budget buy the APU and are full on AMD customer.
People who spend >600 are dedicated GPU + CPU anyway, unless the next Gen APUs make the 200€ GPU segment obsolete (doubt).
RX 550 and RX 560 still exist.
9900k vs Ryzen 3 2200G is 5% (Metro Exodus) to 50% (GTA V) win for AMD
RX 550 and 560 aren’t cheap. and there’s no availability up in Canada. most disti have them pulled.
and I’ve sold a lot of cheap 3200G APU system for entry level gaming for kids with little money.
and being the Vega 11 scores about 2200 points on Passmark and the 1030 scores 2600 points on Passmark, if AMD releases the RX 5300 for general resale, that may change. it’s quite beefy compared to the GT 1030.
GT 1030 retails between 60 and 80€
RX 550 is somewhere between 55€ to 70€
The RX 560 is apparantly no more, leaving the 90 to 120€ segment empty (1050 and 5500xt are >140€)
If AMD has the room to stick GPU, HBM, I/O Die and 8 cores into AM4 for less than 250€, they have a winner.
I suspect the issue with all that is power. perhaps okay for the enthusiast market, who know how to upgrade cooling. but since OEM’s count every fraction of a penny, advanced cooling would really hurt their bottom line, so the only option would be to hurt the consumer pocket book. and even if the AMD APU was 3x the performance of an Intel…if Intel was suddenly the better priced solution, that’s where they’d go.
the sheeple…the 99% are a fickle bunch
90W is peak package power (as in GPU and CPU full tilt) of the Xbox One. Very coolable form factor.
I am 90% sure Corsair or HP would be all over “the console sized gaming computer”. Just the qustion if AMD could stuff enough component on the AM4 interposer.
