Even still, with PBO+ being the default now, there's just no way it should be that close at 1/3 the power draw. But hey, if they managed to work a miracle, I'm all about it

Usually the marketing for those are that it's able to match it in a couple of chosen workloads and they market it based on that.
Asus is usually pretty good with their numbers.

Also idk why they keep these designs with two screens. Looks terrible but if it's practical I guess...looks like shite to me.

Is that marketed directly to content streamers or something? Because yeah, that looks like a ton of extra weight for very little payoff.

I guess, I don't really know who it's marketed towards. They've had them for a year or so now.

I'd legit consider the 4070ti if they made a 2-2.2 slot variant, unfortunately that doesn't look like its happening.

I'll be genuinely surprised if it doesn't. There's seriously zero need for the 4070ti to be three slots, beyond companies just reusing their coolers. It's 285w for frick's sake. My two slot 3080 pulls 320w.
After a quick search, it looks like at least one has been leaked: LINK

Alright lets find some ram at 4am.
DDR5-6000 we know is the Zen 4 sweet spot per AMD and their new EXPO xmp rival. 6200 is tough to hit stable and not worthwhile at all.
I prefer CL anyways so lets exclusively look at CL32 only kits that just came out a few months back besting the previous CL36.
I'm no a frills person so the best for the price would appear to be the GSkill Flare X5 EXPO 32GB at $168.
Or $20 more just to have it and Z series >
Well that was fast I guess G Skill and like OLOy, team group are the only ones with CL32 kits still.
We'll go Z5 Neo CL32 6000 for the money.

Not sure about your exact measurements, but the Ventus looks like it's about 2.25 slots: LINK

I feel like content creators and possibly excel users would be the only beneficiaries
An interesting concept I guess, but I would much rather just carry around a portable monitor and a lighter weight laptop

Nvidia has jumped the fricking shark with these prices. At this point, the only cards that actually makes sense to me this generation is the 4090, and that's only because it's the best of the best, and that comes with a price. After that, the 7900xtx isn't insultingly bad, which is actually high praise this generation.
Everything else? frick 'em. Buy something from last gen deeply discounted or just wait on a gpu purchase.

These 7040 mobile chips seem like beasts. Using Xilinx AI from their acquisition.
Posted on 1/4/23 at 9:58 pm to UltimateHog
These come out next month and I see no pricing? What?
Going 7900X3D either way. That extra 4MB of L3 isn't worth it if you don't need even more cores.

It’s interesting to me that AMD has increased clock speed up the stack this generation, which is quite different from last gen. Can’t say that I love it. Most people have a use for increased clock speeds, but few people need more than 8/16 cores/threads. Making people pay for cores they don’t need to get clocks they do is a bit meh. But with that said, from a financial perspective, I get it.

Yeah I'm very curious to see how much OC room they have with the boost clocks already being at 5.6 and 5.7 for the top 2 chips. Surely not much more than 100-200MHz. Maybe a golden one can do 6GHz.
With how insanely well 3DV scales with clocks that's going to be quite the huge jump.
Looks like we'll easily see +30% gains in gaming performance versus the 5800X3D. Awesome.

I dont understand why they limited the 7800X3D so much at only 5.0ghz compared to 5.6/5.7 for 7900/7950X3D.
Then they used the 7800X3D for gaming benchmarks and not what should be faster 7900/7950X3D which was interesting. the 7900/7950X3D boost to the same frequencies as their Non-3D counterparts while the 7700X boost to 5.4 and the 7800X3D only boosts to 5.0ghz?
Wonder if they are trying to push gamers up to the higher price tiers for best performance limiting the 5800X3D to only 5.0ghz boost.

Looks like the higher boost on the 7900 and 799503d is gonna be for the chiplet that doesn't have the cache.

Well that's interesting...
I wonder if the chip will have logic to intelligently switch between chiplets based on whether the task needs more cache or would be better served by higher clock.

This is because they market the 7800X3D as the ultimate gaming cpu for the money and the direct replacement for the 5800X3D.
The 2 new larger SKUs are geared just as much at content creators as gaming with 12 and 16 cores.
7900X3D is going to be the sweet spot in terms of cores, cache size (1 less MB per L2 cache per core) and clocks.
I'm just mad we didn't get a price for something that releases next month. I'd like to have my case, ram, mobo ordered soon and just be waiting on the CPU. Oh and the SSD but where the hell are the PCIe5 SSD's at? First it was late last year drop, then early this and showcases at CES. I need to go back and see if there were new ones at CES. I want to do it all in one swoop and not have to swap OS and everything else to a new SSD just a month or two later.
Ah so found an MSI demo at CES, these are releasing Q2. At least something concrete.
