AMD Ryzen 3000 Announced: Five CPUs, 12 Cores for $499, Up to 4.6 GHz, PCIe 4.0, Coming 7/7

64 MB cache, nice clocks for 12 cores, test box to be ordered as soon as it’s on sale, that will be first AMD since Athlon X2 and second since AMD 386 DX 40!

AMD Demos EPYC ROME Outperforming Intel Cascade Lake by 2X at Computex 2019

[AtW]

“The company demoed its brand new server chips in action running a biophysics benchmark, specifically NAMD Apo1 v2.12, where EPYC delivered more than double the performance of the Intel alternative. Although admittedly the company showed a dual socket 64 core x2 system versus a dual socket 28 core x2 Intel Cascade Lake system. If anything this could indicate that AMD is looking to deeply undercut big blue on pricing.”

That’s not good... however if single 64 cores chip beats x2 28 cores and half price then it’s good, much more interesting 16/24/32 core variants.

Based on 12C spec it’s clear that 16C clocks will be healthy, and TDP lower than high clocked Intel chips, looks good for dual socket systems, but if AMD can pull off fast single socket 32 cores it would be awesome

AMD Ryzen 9 16-core overclocked processor scores 4346 in Cinebench - VideoCardz.com

Not surprising they struggle to clock super high 16C version (7nm too early to be super speed optimised), for servers all cores 3.2-3.5 ghz will be fine though, as long as it’s half price Intel

clutching at straws they are - if only you sold at $32

Corsair's PCIe 4.0 Force Series MP600 SSD Hits 4.95 GB/s

“Corsair announced its new Force Series MP600 PCIe 4.0 SSD here at Computex in tandem with AMD's third-gen Ryzen reveal and X570 motherboard launch. When paired with a PCIe 4.0-capable system, the new drive delivers up to a beastly 4,950 MB/s of sequential read speed and 4,250 MB/s of write speed, or roughly ten times the sequential performance of any SATA SSD. ”

Who wants to buy overclocked hardware that burns out before the weekend? Reliability gets my money every time.
