Reason: Mining shitty cryptocurrency :3
well with gayming moving to vulkan/dx12 there is no reason to stick to 4 cores anymore
so more the better I guess
According to synthetics 6 core with smt has the best scaling, the gap between that and a straight 8 isn't that spectacular. And smt barely helps 8 core units. Just depends on the money, though.
All you need to have is a CPU you are sure kan keep up with GPU
Plenty people bought FX due to simple needs
the bad AMD Bulldozer cores
Where I live RX 480 is being sold for the same as GTX 1060
I mean its 5 years later and they are still kind of relevant, a pretty good purchase if you made it back then in my opinion
So it's already decided what I'll buy
@Christian Ly indeed
Piledriver at least managed to beat out the 1100t, barely. They should have just slapped 2 phenom x4's onto a single dye. Fuck. Steamroller is actually pretty acceptable, too bad they didn't put it into their fz lineup.
Video editing? They will do the job with great value
Anything that actually takes advantage of all 8 cores runs pretty damn well for what you pay.
Just like the apus are surprisingly relevant in anything using opencl.
I remember my friend wanted to generate Diffie Hellmandii keys and it was on AMD Operton
Horrible, spent over 1 hour wasn't done, so I pushed it to my Xeon E3/E5 1-core instead, took about 5 minutes?
I guess it's like Intels Celeron CPUs, pretty bad
OpenSSL was running in 1-core mode, not sure but you could probably set it to more cores?
I am home my dudes
But until you get to i7s and xeons. You can typically get better performance for the same price (or less) by going with amd. Just the heat man.
However, for my HTPC, I am looking forwards to when AMD releases a new APU in 2017 which uses Zen+Polaris?
Might be a longer wait than that. The newest apus will still be excavator from what I understood. And I'm sure Microsoft will pay out the ass for exclusivity to the scropio apu.
Yeah I must admit that, price/performance was the reason gamers bought cheap AMDs
I think they'll have p11 chips though.
ok 2018?
its actually no problem, I'm not moving to a place where I can have a HTPC before this time next year
Ah yeah
Haha, you could build a little am1 platform. Get the Asus mobo and you can over clock. Seen a lot of videos of people running games on it with low end dedicated gpus.
I can, however, understand if AMD wants to give Microsoft a sweet APU (and Playstation?) while skipping out with desktop for later
Since they are making them probably an important income
And pushing these APUs to desktops might be bad for consoles?
Or well the APU users are a minority to care about
The ps4k is still running cat cores. They just gave it a higher clock. The Scorpio is going to run full zen / Polaris.
My previous HTPC is in fact my old laptop, recycled, but I want a proper one later. Besides, it's at the brink of dying.
Yeah, that's the APU that would be nice to have.
Just the fact Microsoft wrote >6 TFLOPs
If Microsoft is to be believed, it'll be a Polaris 10 chip, since they were boasting 6 tflops. Zen supposedly has on board hbm controllers as well.
Make me think that there might come ot some killer APUs yeah
I wonder, will console gaming finally be a thing?
