Sorry, absolutely off topic, but your new profile quote has got to be from "Stuck to my chair" right?

Intel Completes Development of 1.8nm and 2nm Production Nodes
Sir Beregond replied to Kaz's topic in Hardware News
Not sure why potential stuff 2+ years from now is a reason to regret a Zen 4 purchase in 2023. I think you'll have a great experience with AM5 as you'll also have an upgrade path through at least 2025. Will be interesting to see if Intel can stay on target with these advanced nodes given their recent history/track record. As it is this year, they are only now moving to 7nm (Intel 4) products with Meteor Lake. -
Intel Completes Development of 1.8nm and 2nm Production Nodes
Sir Beregond replied to Kaz's topic in Hardware News
Yeah I found it weird they called their 10nm "Intel 7". But I guess they all pull weird crap like that. For example, TSMC calls their enhanced 5nm, 4nm, just like Samsung called their enhanced 10nm, 8nm. It's weird. -
I mean, I think the price kinda sucks, but it should actually be a pretty decent uplift over the 5900X, and should be less of a bottleneck for the 4090. My goal is to just stay on my current platform until probably Zen 5 and 50-series where I'll either get a 50-series or buy a used 4090 for cheaper (hopefully). Then maybe by then I'll have a setup for a test bench and can put my current stuff there or sell it, I don't know. I say that now, but could be I'll be outraged by pricing again and say screw it, I don't need anything.

Ouch, its March, where do you live lol.

Good question. I am not sure. If it does, it will take a latency penalty having to cross the infinity fabric I would imagine.
-
Good luck getting that to pass if you're in Colorado, we always tend to vote those down.

"Gamers and overclockers, they'll buy anything" - Geekbench probably, looking at the last couple years.

Wow, yeah I agree, that does look real.

My buddy has done some interesting things with AI for stuff he sells on Etsy. He's also figured out ways to use AI to just pump out videos, though I am less impressed at the quality of the voice even though its his. I get you can pump out more volume now, but I don't know, just felt very off to me when I watched/listened to one. More and more I feel like a luddite who doesn't need all this new fancy stuff coming out. I don't overly gadgetize my life or other things like that. I don't know, it gets to be too much sometimes.

It's much more efficient then Ampere for sure with a strong boost in perf/watt, but we're still talking 400W. My 400W (when PL is set to 114%) 3080 Ti dumps an absolute ton of heat into the room. Yeah, I really wish AMD didn't bother to keep cooler compatibility with AM4. For one, not everything is actually compatible, and for two, the thicker IHS.
-
This right here. One of my frustrations with the 3080 Ti.

Every time I ask ChatGPT to do something, it just responds with "Internal Server Error".

Level of detail definitely improved, but I felt the base game was overall shallower and radiant questing didn't always materialize into interesting quests. What I mean by dumb down is read quest logs between Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim for example and you see how much more dumbed down Skyrim got in the flavor text that made it interesting as an RPG even compared to Oblivion.
-
Still interested to hear.
-
That's a bit more than half the pixel count of 4k (3440x2160) still. I'd imagine you'd still have some CPU bottlenecks with the 5900X and the 4090, but it probably really depends on what you play and if you care about chart topping for HWBot and such. Otherwise I'd say it's probably fine unless you play stuff that is noticeably bottlenecked.
-
I just really don't get the 7950X3D as a part. The 16-core parts really never represented gaming chips and were always more productivity focused so it makes this weird hybrid of one 8-core traditional CCD and one 8-core v-cache CCD a really odd one to me. Seems you sacrifice some of the productivity angle with it, but also the gaming doesn't necessarily get any more of a boost than what the 7800X3D might end up being.
-
Will wait and see how this one turns out given how their last game did. Also didn't find the gameplay trailer particularly interesting. Really been waiting for Elder Scrolls VI, but I don't know, they might dumb that one down even more than they did Skyrim, which only had the lasting power it did because mods.

Been pretty happy with my 3080 Ti block from Alphacool, though the thermal pad install was a bit more of a pain to do that other blocks I've done in the past. Maybe its just that there are more thermal pads then what older cards needed. Just seemed like it took me forever. But hey, they were all precut.

Congrats man! -
Switched to Xfinity back in January. CenturyLink wanted to downgrade me and I said enough was enough with them. This is a $65/month for now with their promotions.
-
I'm surprised they haven't brought Threadripper back since Zen 2 to be honest. Yeah, or at the very least re-evaluate launch prices for 6 and 8 core parts. I don't think $300 for a 6 core makes much sense in 2023 for example. But yes, I would be interested in seeing if future architectural improvements include more cores per CCD. I don't think you are getting more than 2 CCD's on a mainstream chip still unless they do a newer Threadripper where there is a bigger package to fit additional CCD's.
-
I always found Zen 4 to be more an iterative release following Zen 3. Smaller process, so clock and efficiency gains, but nothing drastically different than Zen 3 architecturally. I'm really waiting for Zen 5 to see what they do there.
-
Yeah I've watched a lot of his Zen 3 stuff when I was learning about PBO and CO. Base clock overclocking sounds interesting, but I've heard that can mess things up pretty quick if not careful due to other things that run off that clock. I haven't braved that yet. Only thing that's weird with this guy's videos is that he never blinks.
-
Still though, the AMD X3D parts have a huge efficiency win over Intel for similar performance even if the Intel still beats it with proper cooling/memory config. I'm really kinda tired of runaway power usage just to maintain "top performer" status. That said, these two CCD X3D parts seem very weird to me with how they've done it. I think clearly if gaming is the main concern here, the 7800X3D is going to be the one to get, otherwise it's a waste of money unless you have other non-gaming uses for the non X3D cores, but even then, you might be better with a regular 7950X where all the cores can boost higher. I don't know, maybe just me, seems a strange release to me. Perhaps will get better similar to how Alder Lake was when it first released with the P and E cores, and there will be growing pains still on the Windows scheduler with these. A problem the 7800X3D won't have.
