You’re confusing the subject, it’s meaningless what activities somebody chooses to do or whether they’ll be impacted slightly, impacted significantly, not impacted etc. They’ve implemented a noddy linear software solution to scheduling, at the same time relying on Microsoft Gamebar to do so...

I’ll summarise; - You have a game going - You decide to do something else during that - Unless your other applications and tasks exceed the core capacity of the stacked CCD, it’ll be forced all onto the stacked CCD. Which as Gordon explains, you’re running tasks on the lower frequency CCD if...

You’ve been commenting on this topic for pages and you’d not even watched it? :cry:

That’s the challenge and the primary point though bud, it’s not consistent and the workarounds, whitelisting and general reliance on windows scheduling causing such inconsistency / mess. It begs the question, why on earth didn’t they implement a hardware scheduler. I find AMD using Windows...

Just a heads up bud, Humbug has a reputation here across most of the community for being pro AMD. He’s just ignoring the scheduler issues and how say for a streamer this is quite a significant deal, especially when these chips were a big seller in that segment (as previously allot would run 2...

The level of copium on display here is glorious :cry:

Well looks like the 7950x3d is as big as mess as expected. Looks like I’m staying on the 5950x until AMD or Intels next Gen CPU.

As I’ve said multiple times. It’s not a bad product; it’s simply a step back. Performance alone isn’t the only factor, otherwise we’d of all thought the 3090 was god mode. Also thinking ratcheting up the power is “ok” is really not the approach we should take as consumers, just like when Intel...

Goto the conclusion. He talks about blender and how it’s not typical of normal workloads, it’s rare to have production apps that just max out all cores and threads to do it’s job. He gives some examples and why the bender score is not indicative of typical results, it’s a great benchmark but...

All chip manufacturers focus on one main thing, how much performance can they achieve with the smallest amount of energy used. It allows them to make a better product and reduce cost, it would have never of been AMDs power target at design stage. Remember, higher power consumption for the...

I think you’re missing the point, beyond trying to use GamerNexus numbers to prove one (where in his conclusion he states blender isn’t reflective of production apps). It’s simply an analysis. Someone purchasing the product would never run eco mode, even he doesn’t recommend it. You’d have to...

Not sure what you’re getting at there? During multi-threaded load (which is really why people like me buy such a CPU) the 5950x performance per watt is better than the 7950x, which is a step backwards for a company whose product would improve fundamentally rather Intels playbook of yoloing the...

I think you need to calm down and not take this as an attack on a platform you like. I’m completely neutral when it comes to things like this but I find it hard for anyone to argue against it being a step backwards, when for example the increase in power draw on the 7950x actually means it gets...

Sorry I don’t know much about the low end CPUs, I’m only concerned with the high end. They’re hotter and consume more power, they’ve gone from focusing on effienency to punting up the power due to Intel fears. As for your DDR5 comment, plainly incorrect. Just search YouTube, plenty of in-depth...

The limitations and stability issues using 4 sticks of DDR5 are waaaay beyond DDR4, mainly due to the load on the memory controller and chipset firmware maturity on DDR4. Isn’t even comparable. I run 128GB. Very put off investing into the early platform hardware launches until DDR5 and IMCs...

Limitations and issues when you go beyond 2 sticks

The power consumption doesn’t worry me, the issue is that I feel this Gen is a step backwards and spending money on something like that doesn’t sit well with me. Plus all the DD5 shenanigans. For me it’s more - I like to buy Products which I feel are good. Not accept the half arse job kind of a...

That and the whole DDR5 mess really hacks me off, I want to upgrade. Especially as I have a 4090. This Gen feels like the worst one in a while, suppose I shouldn’t expect anything less with a socket change.

So disappointed in AMD. I tend to upgrade every year, 3950x to 5950x etc and fully intended on going to 7950x.. My boys or home server get the hand-me-downs parts. With the temps, power consumption and absolutely ridiculously limitations / temperamental DDR5 speeds I skipped this time...

Saw this when googling some old CS teams (as I started playing CSGO an bit) and had to bump it. Ah the good old days! I used to play in 4D and also played for KMA. winning the i5 competition and final vs ECSF. Very almost joined B!TCH just before they merged with 4Kings as I knew Gideon and he...
