Alleged leaks from AMD indicate big performance gains in upcoming Epyc refresh

Next-gen Milan will see up to 20% better core performance while Genoa will change in other ways.


quote:

According to the slides, Zen 3 is in many ways similar to the Zen 2 generation (aka “Rome”) currently on the market. It will be socket-compatible with the first and second generation of Epycs, so current owners can swap out the older chips for newer. It will have a maximum of 64 cores, which is the same as Rome. It will support DDR4 memory and PCI Express 4.0 interconnects, like Rome. One difference is that instead of two 16MB L3 caches, Milan will have one 32MB L3 cache.
WIth Milan, AMD focused on core performance improvements. The slides reportedly say that for Milan, single-threaded performance should increase by 20% in 32-core Rome processors and increase 10% to 15% in the 64-core Epyc.



That sounds awfully good for Zen 3. Looks like the 15% IPC gain leaks and rumors are right, and 20% would be bonkers.

Do all routers just suck anymore? My Nighthawk X6 2.4 band has pretty much died for 2 months now it's soooo slow. Tried many different things and resets. Same shite happened to my Linksys.

Fairly common these days per Google. So annoying.

Asus is the only brand that's had no issues for me.


I’m so glad I invested in going UniFi gear, don’t have any issues anymore and great WiFi.

I've never used their switches.

Didn't their cameras lose in-app live viewing last week for 12hrs?

Apparently some of the standalone features used some cloud services. Ppl were pissed.

Here you go, I've known about this thing for years but now it is easy to download. You might have already known, but working somewhat in the industry, it is very interesting.

Their switches are really and nice and easy to use, but I just have the knowledge/experience in cisco CLI to use them. Much more robust than the Ubiquiti options

I went to Google mesh and it's been fine for the most part, but not perfect

Yes and no, enterprise in terms of commercial application, yes.

But they have entry level lines now.

It pays just to spend the extra $150 and go UniFi.

Their Amplifi Alien router looks good, $379 not a bad price for WiFi 6.

I hate the look, too gamer.

Just take down smoke detectors off ceiling, don't need those, and replace with UniFi APs.

I'm confused. In their site is 379 for the HD or whatever then it's 575 everywhere else. Is it just out of stock and people are gouging?

Probably OOS and gauging.

HD is way overkill though. AC Pro is where it's at

So using my mini PC with a video card experiment is a failure Looks like the board cant support a video card.

What are some good NUCs with built in GPUs? I just want something with like 1050ti-ish performance. I'm looking at the Zotac Magnus mini PCs, but the ones I'm looking at use 7th gen i5 low power chips

Yea I was hoping to find something relatively barebones. I would love to be able to plop my 8500t, 16gb sodimm, and 512gb ssd into a nuc with video card already in there

My 2070 Super does get around 80 degrees C in some of the games I play, in others it gets up to around 70 degrees at most.

I created a custom fan curve and now the hottest it gets is about 75 degrees C and the fan noise isn’t too bad.

I use headphones, so it doesn’t really bother me much as is.

At idle, the 2070 super hovers around 32 degrees C.

"They [AMD] want to release the 16GB at $599 and the 8GB at $499 but after the Ampere announcement I'm expecting $549 for the 16GB and $499 for the 8GB. We're receiving the ASIC (GPU+MEM) this month [September]" - AMD partner



Even less than I thought.

Also sounds like October release.

That’s great news for pricing for consumers, but at $499 and $549 they better be able to compete with that RTX3070, otherwise AMD will be sunk.
