New Amd Ryzen Details And Pricing Leaks

... the XFR or "e Xtended Frequency Range" turbo that will potentially allow for higher clockspeeds with better cooling (eg, liquid cooling). The XFR numbers aren't particularly informative, unfortunately, as they're all the same as the base turbo only with a plus-sign suffix. What we'll really be interested in testing is how far XFR will go without end-user intervention. I'm not expecting too much, meaning manual overclocking will still be useful for extracting the most from the chips, but I'd love to see XFR get at least 80 percent of what manual overclocking will achieve. Pricing is the most interesting aspect of the leak, and if correct it will put AMD into serious contention with Intel at every level. Given all of the Ryzen CPUs are also shipping with unlocked multipliers, binning will likely put the best parts as Ryzen 7 1800 X, but the 1700 X and 1700 may only lose out on 100-200 MHz with manual overclocking. We could potentially see 8 C/16 T Ryzen 7 parts for $320 that will rival the performance of Intel's $1050 Core i 7-6900 K. As before, all indications point to a March 2 launch date, as we've previously noted. I'm particularly excited to ...

... market higher. Whether you like Trump or not is not the investing point here. If he lowers the corporate tax to 15% (from 35%), the tech arguments against H 1-B immigrant visas is a trade-off tech companies will eagerly accept. Looking at Apple for example, it would have saved $6 billion in taxes in 2016, and believe me it saved only a very, very small fraction of that by using H 1-B. And repatriating $200 billion of overseas money at 10% instead of 35% would buy you all the programmers in India. So Trump will be good for tech, including AMD, even though the direct benefits will be minimal. What's good for Apple, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) and Microsoft is good for AMD's stock price. I have written over 25,000 words on AMD in the last two years. I have read every 10-K and 10-Q and every earnings transcript. And after all that, I am convinced this is a freight train headed downhill after climbing a very high ...

Radeon Vega Logo, Graphics Card Design Revealed At Amd's Ryzen Event

... time at the event. While Radeon Vega demos at CES revealed the GPU’s blistering Doom performance, the graphics card itself was tucked inside a closed case, and obscured with black tape when it was shown. The curtain was pulled back at Tuesday’s tech event, as you can see starting at roughly the 5:50 mark in the Paul’s Hardware video below. ( Give Paul a follow while you’re at it—he does great work.). Ignore the funky USB header and whatnot. As Paul says, it’s only there because this unit is an engineering sample. It’s clear the enthusiast-class Vega card carries on the sleek design cues that originated with the Fury lineup and continued in the RX 400 series. The only practical information gleaned from the reveal is that the card uses an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector, proving that Vega is indeed more power-efficient than the Fury X, which relied on dual 8-pin connectors. No great surprise there. Radeon Vega doesn’t have a firm release date, but AMD says the card will launch in the first half of 2017. Want to know more? AMD’s holding a “Capsaicin” livestream on February 28, where more Radeon Vega details will no doubt be teased. In the ...

Radeon Vega Vs. Geforce Gtx 1080 Ti? Amd, Nvidia Announce Dueling Events At Gdc 2017

... cards. The GTX 10-series is already nine months old. Plus, Nvidia has a history of announcing new hardware at GDC. At GDC 2015, Nvidia revealed the original Shield TV console at a similar event. The very next day, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang casually strolled into a presentation by Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, surprise-announced the original Titan X , and handed him a signed box before swaggering out like a boss. Even if the Ge Force GTX 1080 Ti doesn’t appear, Nvidia may have something else up its sleeve. Ge Force Now for PCs and Mac , which lets you stream PC games from Nvidia’s servers to any computer, is scheduled to launch in early access this March. Nvidia’s Ge Force GTX gaming celebration would be a fine time for a more concrete announcement. Talk it out. We’ll know much more in just a couple of weeks. But one thing’s already certain: GDC 2017 is already shaping up to be one hell of an event. This Friday, Gordon, Hayden, and I will be discussing our hopes and dreams for GDC on PCWorld’s bi-weekly Full Nerd podcast, at roughly 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. Be sure to follow ...

Nvidia Gtx 1080 Ti Graphics Card Launch Teased By Geforce Website Countdown

... homepage. Subtle. Examining the homepage all but confirms that yep, Nvidia will probably reveal the long-anticipated Ge Force GTX 1080 Ti on February 28. “It’s almost Time” the countdown declares—emphasis Nvidia’s—with an #Ultimate Ge Force hashtag. And as if that wasn’t blatant enough, studying the page’s source code shows that the video playing in the background is titled “GTX 1080 Ti_Countdown_Hero,” as first discovered by Videocardz. You can see it below. The Ge Force website with the source code pulled up and the slogan on display. A close-up of the source code. (Click to enlarge.). That’s either a big oops, or clever marketing—probably the latter, given that Time teaser. In either case, it looks like Nvidia’s bringing the big guns to GDC. The #Ultimate Ge Force hashtag is intriguing, though. While many people expect the Ge Force GTX 1080 Ti to be a slightly cut-down ...
