The sooner, the better for all. By the way, yesterday I was surprised when you didn't post Ada's block diagram leaked by kopite, and I'm more surprised you haven't posted it today either. For thos wondering, it's here: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-ada-lovelace-geforce-rtx-40-gaming-gpu-detailed-double-the-rops-huge-l2-cache-50-more-fp32-units-than-ampere-4th-gen-tensor-3rd-gen-rt-cores/
High clocks all around and I dount we'll see more than 16 cores. I gotta say, tho, that I'm a bit disappointed with AMD because it looks like they'll repeat the strategy of Zen3 and leave us without a 7700 CPU nor the lower ones until... well, maybe until Intel catches them again and they're forced to. And yes, it will probably be better to wait because, with the need of the still expensive and hard to find DDR5 RAM, I don't think the sales will be as big as those of Zen3, and AMD may be forced to lower the prices a bit to make the new platform more attractive and get more people on board (wishful thinking, I know).
At this point, I wonder if, given the "close" release of Ada and RDNA3, Intel will try to counter that by starting to talk about Battlemage, before Alchemist even launches worldwide. It would be hilarious. |
Good catch, must have missed it.
And yea, we are going up in both price and tdp (high end) for the CPUs although I will say that AMD isn't fully to blame since TSMC has been upping their cost while Intel owns their own fabs. For AMD's sake, the performance better be worth the prices they are asking cause if the rumour is legit, we are going from the $199 price of the 3600 to $350 for the 7600X for 6 core 12 thread part.
