Yep, and she's transitioned.

go be a faggot somewhere else.

Calm down retard. Not everyone will benefit from having a space/energy wasting cluster like the one you're suggesting especially since it doesn't do shit for muh vidya, and web browsing.

the Jow Forumsoyim know

>500$

FX 9590 was $1000, and the 1800x was $500.
Based AMD.

Wtf I hate Jews now!

I'm glad I skipped FX. Now this is the age of RYZEN.

was FX really that bad? redpill me on the FX

how did amd manage to stay in business

they made every colsole in the world :^)

Nope, Ryzen is literary Bulldozer on a new fab.
The reason it didn't fail this time is because software is actually multi core supportive.

I bought a 6350 in 2013 for 80€.

Ignore The FX 6XXX and 4XXX outperformed the 9XXX in single core as they clocked much higher and were not as cache suffocated

>Ryzen is literally Bulldozer
Good lord, I hope you don't actually believe that.
>because software is actually multi core supportive
Nope. I think a lot of developers struggle with multiprocessing and depend on the OS to handle it for them. It usually does an OK job but not a great one. You can't just keep adding cores to try to speed something up.

>ignore the image
>The FX 6XXX and 4XXX outperformed the 9XXX in single core as they clocked much higher and were not as cache suffocated
Was it common for fx6xxx, and fx4xxx to overclock past 5hz?

i can imagine a 86 core bulldozer based threadripper

wat
fx9xxx obviously were their best binned and highest clocking cpus by far. Their single core perf at same clocks was indentical.

Has incel shills gone to far?

Get a load of this guy

Bulldozer and derivatives:
>low IPC
>high clock speeds (highest at the time, world record is still FX-8150 at 8.429 GHz)
>no SMT ("hyperthreading")
>cores share modules
Zen:
>high IPC
>medium clock speeds (only new ones reliably get over 4 GHz)
>SMT
>cores are mostly independent
They are absolutely not the same. They are still made with the same "MOAR COARS" mentality, but this time it works brilliantly from a dual core Athlon all the way to the Epycs and Threadrippers.

Random fun fact: The BD Module's FlexFPU utilized SMT to schedule between its two shared FMACs. It was a truly strange design.

Anyone notice how intel shills are mostly tech illiterate faggots or underage?

Based and plan9pilled

The shills are pushing it at the moment.

Not all, but of course there will be young idiots on both sides.
Youngsters tend to shill (for free) whatever they purchased, since they can only generally afford to 'pick' one side (since they can't really afford computers anyway). Anyone embracing the 'opposite' side is being seen to invalidate their views (ie. they think their choices must be objectively correct 100% of the time and nothing can or should break that worldview)
We also have a lot of manchildren who think in similar ways.

Also there are genuine paid marketers.

Ryzen uses some of the ideas that Faildozer did right, like decoupling the ALUs from the FPUs completely.

Radeons, consoles, Opterons, and like it or not: actually selling those FX chips. Many people bought them because of price/performance. I almost bought one in 2016, but went with the intel i3 6100 because i live in a hot area.
AMD were still in a bad spot, and if not for the Ryzen/Epyc miracle together with the mining boom, they would have probably go bankrupt or bought up by some Chinese corporation.

Excavator should've been made as 8 cores.

Excavator with the full cache ( same as the piledriver modules ) wouldn't be bad if it was also made on 28nm -> and then another generation in 14nm in early 2016 as drop in upgrades.

IIRC, back in 2014-2015 there was talks of a Chinese firm that was attempting to buy AMD, but that got shot down quickly

As retarded as the i9 family is, it's got nothing on Bulldozer when it comes to ass-backwards design. You don't buy an 8 core i9 only to get the real world performance of a hyperthreaded 4 core.
