Aaron Flores
I'm out of the loop, did AMD announce something? Did I miss the stream? Are there benchmarks? What's a good source on events like this that don't only show the mainstream stuff?
Aiden Richardson
Where were the 7 chips to be announced at CES? Your cope was showing.
Anthony Diaz
wtf bros i was going to upgrade to ryzen 3 with my tax return cash, i don't want to wait until june
I told you niggers that wait for x is ALWAYS a meme.
Alexander Turner
They didn't announce anything worthy OP's pic sums up the event
David Long
Vega 7: on par with 2080 in performance, 2x8 power delivery, 16GB HBM2, 1T bandwidth, $699 In development Ryzen 2 beats stock 9900K in cinebench. That's about it.
Ryan Martin
Best Intel CPU and cooler for a 2070? Will use it mainly for video games. Am yuropoor.
Nicholas Jackson
That's called a "preview". More coming up at Computex
Logan Russell
Where can I buy a cheap RX 580 in the UK? Never waiting on shit ever again
Austin Parker
Thanks for proving that the leaks were fake.
Julian Diaz
...
Matthew Edwards
Last years black friday (I got my dad and my little brother to buy the saphire special edition for £212).. sorry user
Matthew Hernandez
Just wait some more™
Charles Clark
>one unnamed chip is some how 3300, 3300X, 3600, 3600X, 3700, 3700X and 3800X simultaneous. The AdoredTV leak was fake. Get over it.
so im building a pc for a friend and he has a strict $1500 budget (AUD). He wants to run any game at 60 fps while recording/streaming also for video editing (yeah, I know streaming is gay) and im wondering if the attached picture is any good and where I could improve (BTW im selling 16gb of used DDR4 ram to him for $130 so thats why that is not in the pic)
He pretty much hit on point. They can fit 16 cores on a mainstream CPU, this was proven today. Now what we need to know are prices and CPU models/segmentation.
Wyatt Perry
not like your tax return is gonna come before June
Kevin King
at this point it's only 5 more months wait bros
might as well wait it out
Noah Morgan
>more speculation that I pulled out of my gaped asshole
Brandon Green
Should have paid a bit more attention user. There's traces for a 2nd chiplet on the package.
>pretty much hit on point lol no. He specifically said it wasn't going to be a chiplet. It was a chiplet.
Brody Williams
>Vega II (7nm) : 2080 performance for $700 So i could buy a Vega II for 700 dollar that "performs as well as a 2080" or i could buy a 2080 for 700 dollar that actually performs as well as a 2080. Why didn't Lisa just pull out a 9mm and ventilate her skull? Much quicker and less painful death than watching AMD playing catch up for yet another GPU gen.
Lincoln Miller
looks like the best move at this point is to wait for a 64 to hit as close to $300 as possible. fuck me for expecting a new mid range card with a die shrink right
>waited for CES to upgrade my CPU like Jow Forums said >no fucking Zen 2 announcement What a load of shit. I'm ordering my 9700K tonight.
Jack Myers
I think the important part of the leaks ( competitive clockspeeds, chiplet, many cores, 7nm ) were confirmed: there was space for a third chiplet and it beat 9900k by a little.
The less important part ( exact clockspeeds ) was preliminary even in the fake. They said "coming in mid 2019", just as with the already announced epycs. I think they are either waiting for intel, or the clockspeed-yield factors make ryzen 3rd gen to be late. The 8core demo shows that 7nm and ryzen _can_ reach these speeds, but I think these highly-clocked chips are rare right now.
Camden Cruz
>2990WX is the same thing as 1950X
Jeremiah Stewart
Watch the presentation at the end, it's right there. Also, it has been posted all over the thread. I know it hurts you when you look at it, like a rape victim, but you have to accept the cold, hard truth. They can fit 16 cores on a mainstream CPU, and Intel has absolutely NO WAY to compete with this.
Cooper Wood
oh right, that was the 2nd gen threadripper but still, you're splitting hairs here
Julian Martinez
>AMD shills all over the internet are on damage control >thinking they can con people with that fake leak
Landon Lee
Still waiting for a sub-75W (bus-powered) upgrade to a dying whiny GTX960 At this point buying 1050Ti seems almost pointless but there's still nothing better. 2050 fucking when?
Nathaniel Johnson
and they perform exactly the same, yet one is 7nm...
Lucas Fisher
They both have 4 dies. The other 2 are disabled on the 1950X. Neither have dummy dies.
Noah Perez
This should be a lesson to everyone, including the scottish faggot, that hyping shit purely based on rumours will lead to disappointment and do more harm than good like currently demonstrated. Never again. Waitfags BTFO. AMDissapointment at it again. Now we'll continue to get assraped by Nshitia and Incel.
You guys ALMOST stayed my hand in buying a 1070ti, but I went ahead and got it, and I’m fucking glad
Mason Hall
>imagine falling for the off center die trick the second time kek
Noah Diaz
Untill reviewers show a 16 or at least a 12 core at 5GHz outperforming Intel top end I could care less what AMD or anyone else claims.
Levi Mitchell
>vulkans your path
So will the vega 7 be the new 580? People recommend it because it has more vram and is neck and neck with it's competitor but people buy the 2060 anyway.
Connor Nelson
>>vulkans your path Yeah, let me see it.
Thomas Davis
>tfw fell for Ryzen meme >been wanting to upgrade >was told to wait for CES because AMD was going to change the world with they 7nm CPU >waited months >fuckingnothing.jpg I guess I can finally abandon this shit CPU now. How does 9700k + 2080 sound? I'm running 144Hz 1080p.
Cameron Perry
Well the thing is the 2060 is $350 while Vega 7 is $700... Of course, the Vega 7 has 2080 performance, however it's not really competing with the 2060
Carson Young
Can you guys please answer build questions? We have like 10 AMD threads already...
Jayden Rivera
>look at all the proofs >see? i don't see jack shit, captain.
Alexander Fisher
yeah i kinda meant to type 2080, i have bad butterfingers.
Aaron Lewis
>fuckingnothing.jpg You got the info that nothing new will be coming for half a year, which makes your pc good for half a year. I think even that info is worth it if you waited less than 5 months.
Anything over 1070 is fine for that, even vega. No need to overkill with 2080 which is waaaay overpriced and a large overkill for 1080p: >1080p >>GTX 1070/Ti if you're looking for very high (100+) framerates and you have a CPU and monitor to match
Ian Evans
AMD = Another MASSIVE Disappointment. AMDrones on suicide watch.
Jacob Jenkins
I have a freesync monitor so I would prefer something overkill to assure 144fps+
Carson Morris
Yeah, honestly trash but I'm not sure what I was expecting.
Oliver Martin
Dude you can literally see that it's shopped or look it up yourself on Anandtech.
Joshua Nguyen
>they made the 7nm chip off center for no reason >theres an IO die for a single chip
t..thanks fellow intelbro t..this is helping me cope
RTX 2080 was $800 at launch based retard, so we can expect about $100 less from any given card tier once they all make it to market
Grayson Ward
If ( and only if) you can find a cheap vega deal, that'd be close to ideal ( but check out how well freesync is supported on your stuff ) Check out some benches on 1080p, hardware unboxed did extensive testing. Afaik at about 1080 perf, framerates capped because cpu bottleneck ( on 9900k ). It might help in making your choice.
Even a 1080Ti is better choice for your case than a 2080 IMO.
Wyatt Stewart
Remember, Intel always wins.
Imagine how many CPU they're going to sell in the next few days. All those people who were waiting for Zen 2 only to get a subpar 2080 are finally going to be free of the AMDissapointment curse and go Intel. I know I am.
