I'd imagine those 6 cores going along with 6 logical ones next gen. It might take a few years, but 4/8 cpus are going out in pc.

Even the 7th gen will go with the dodo.

Yeah, it's been dead for ppl with the GPU power to push frames.

I'll probably go ps5 next year. I'll keep my pc for RTS games and such.


That might change when the new Elder Scrolls is announced, however.

Well damn, now y'all got me all confused. A $300 card should be good enough to keep if i plan to upgrade the motherboard and CPU down the road right? So i might as well spend the $300 card that will be up-to-date for a while, rather than buying a cheaper card now then another card in the future.



You can get the $300 card, just understand it will very bottlenecked in some newer games by your 4 thread CPU, to the point you might experience some less than stellar gameplay itself despite having a mid-range (yes $300-$400 range is now "mid-range"). That's why personally I wouldn't do it.

How much of an increase would i really get out of the $100 card?



A GTX 760 2GB to RX580 8GB is a massive upgrade even for just $100 off ebay, which is why I suggested it if you're just going to stay on that platform for the foreseeable future. You could get that, game on it for a year or two then turn it around for probably $50 still until you upgrade your platform to something more modern but in the meantime enjoy a much more enjoyable gaming experience for practically nothing.

Yeah looks like it's just going be Zen 2 mobile "4000" series chips early in 2020, then Zen 3 4000 desktop chips mid-year like we got Zen 2 3000 desktop chips mid-year this year.

Man AMD went confusing AF keeping their mobile chip naming a generation ahead of what it really is compared to desktop counterpart, no idea why they did that.

Netflix eyes move to AMD Epyc processors in data centres


quote:

As recently reported, alongside its latest financials, AMD's Epyc (and Ryzen) processors are particularly strong revenue generators for AMD and it looks like this will continue. This looked like a dead cert for AMD back in August when it launched its new AMD Epyc 2 (Rome) processors with great industry support from the outset. Two of the biggest new names to get on board the AMD Epyc train at the Rome launch were Google and Twitter. Now it looks like another very big name in tech is about to purchase a ticket.

Maybe because I'm old and stuff.. I love Nintendo.

In my Childhood that was it, just Nintendo. Didn't get into PC gaming until 93 but mainly 97.

That seems under powered?

Reading about it now. I'm lost, it almost sounds like the 845 but utilizes cores differently to focus on battery life over performance.

Found some night reading.

I'm throwing my matx board, 4670k and 1060 in the living room for HTPC and maybe some single player action. I need a classy low profile case and a good solution for controlling it.

I don't want to have to have a wireless keyboard and mouse laying around, if I don't have to. What are my options? Just remote in from my phone?
