Got my dual channels still doing me right. AMD are truly trying to run the gamut with Zen. A jack of all trades architecture. I'm very interested in how this works out.
Still relevant as ever.
Does any game even use 32 cores?
Isn't intel's next generation set on decreasing performance
We do know how an intel core compares to an fx-amd core with the same clock, so if you factor that 40% between an FX core and a Zen core, you can easily speculate.
Hopefully it does. Module-based multithreading in the Earthmover series was a disaster (partly their fault, partly GloFo's) and Cat cores died ignominiously when IntelGot my dual channels still doing me right.

They'd still be beating amd by an enormous margin in desktop pc performance.

As far as I know (only third hand information), the 32 core version is going to be 2 dies with an n-package interconnect. So not really what most people associate with a single CPU these days.

NOBODYS goingto stick their neck out in an enterprise environment for AMD, at this point. Theres an old saying nobodys ever been fired for buying Cisco, you could drop Intel into that. Most CTOs are skittish on AMD workstations. In a VMware environment stability is king and theres no trust with amd on 247365 99.99% uptime. Amd had been 'next big thinging' it for 10 years now. I knew selling their fabs would mean a slow death. They have a lot of work to do to regain trust in corporate enviroments.
Some games have job based multithreading systems which thoretically can scale up to n cores.Does any game even use 32 cores?
This is a little off topic, but what do the clock speeds on AMD processors benchmark worse then intels?

The Intel will out-preform it.

Although main game thread is usually limited to single core.
Hopefully Zen works out for the next consoles. Going from Jaguar to something like that would be absolutely HUGE
i dream of a day when amd finally surpasses intel again like they did with athlon 64. that would be so good for us consumers
Does any game even use 32 cores?
which game engines could take advantage of it?
NX going with 8 core Zen architecture. Believe.
Yep.
I'm hoping for eight Zen or Zen+ cores @ 2.0 ~ 2.5 GHz in XB4 and PS5. Coupled with HBM2 and decent-for-the-time, midrange GPUs, on a 10nm APU.
What' you guys think?
Does any game even use 32 cores?
32 cores? When will they understand that 4 cores but with higher single core performance are better than 32 with awful single core performance? At least for the vast majority of softwares and games out there
When is Zen is releasing?
My poor Phenom X4 needs a replacement.
Could this be used on the NX console or is this too expensive.
Way too expensive for the NX. 32 core CPU won't be cheap

why are intel so dominant? is it just because they have a far larger amount of money to invest in R&D so they can hire better people etc.?
R&D budget is orders of magnitude larger, and AMD made a poor decision with their last architecture.
Sprinkle in a few anti-competitive practices back in the day that screwed AMD too.
So 16 cores for a single die? Still sounds good to me.
Naughty Dog has been using a job based system since Uncharted 1 and with Uncharted 4 they are doing some pretty unprecedented stuff with fibers (think of it as jobs-within-jobs), they don't even have a main-thread anymore.

is there anywhere i can read about this because this is fascinating.
