*** NEW CONTEST**

It's at Guru3D and the prize is a Toshiba XS700 240GB External SSD: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/guru3d-2018-december-5-win-a-toshiba-xs700-240gb-external-ssd.html

 

 

By the way, have you heard the new rumor about the Zen 2 based Ryzens, the 3000 series? I find it too good to be true, and that's why I decided to not post it, but if one of you wants, I'll put it here so we can trash talk about it .

You talking about the PCI-E 4.0, 16 cores operating in excess of 5ghz?

Entry level chips are set to be 6-core parts... And come with Navi integrated graphics all the way up to 20CU's. - The Vega versions at the moment top out at 12CU's. - Not sure if I am willing to believe those claims, but 7nm is a big step up from the 14/16nm (20nm with Finfet) processes so it could very well be plausible.

Look at it this way... Intel will need to pull it's finger out and get on with 10nm or AMD will take the performance lead if that all holds out to be true, something it hasn't actually done since the Athlon 64 X2 days. (Pre-Core 2 Duo.)


And while I am enjoying my Ryzen 7 2700U notebook with 11CU's... Which is enough for Overwatch @ 1080P @ 60fps... If AMD can almost double that with Ryzen 7 3700U and 20CU's... I will be all over that like flies to poop.

Yep. Goodbye to those 4, 6 or 8 Ryzen chips and to welcome the 6, 8, 12 & 16 ones that go up to 5 GHz...

I know that the new 7nm process woul allow them to clock higher and that the chiplet design would, in theory, allow them to push the frequencies up a bit more too, but 5 GHz for a 16 core processor looks rather suspicious. It would be easier to believe for the 6 core parts, not the higher end ones.

But we'll see in roughly a month at CES.

By the way, there's another rumor from the same source, AdoredTV, that talks about AMD's GPU side:
https://wccftech.com/amd-rx-3080-3070-3060-navi-gpu-specs-prices-leaked-rtx-2070-gtx-1070-gtx-1060-challengers-at-249-199-129/

RX 3060:  RX 580 levels of performance, 4GB DDR6, 75W, $129.99

RX 3070: Vega 56 levels of performance, 8GB DDR6, 120W, $199.99

RX 3080: Vega 64 +15% levels of performance, 8GB DDR6, 150W, $249.99

This rumor don't look as incredible as the CPU one as the gains aren't really that big. Plus, if true, that would put Nvidia's RTX 2070 in a very bad position. *Edit* What I meant to say with this last part is that this could put pressure to Nvidia to drop its prices.
