GN Extras is an official property of the GamersNexus RU-vid channel. This is where we'll upload bonus footage (like public behind-the-scenes videos), occasional one-off Q&A videos, shorts, and clips (cuts from streams, etc.) from the main GamersNexus channel.
This type of video is amazing, seeing the people behind the tech, listening to the challanges and problems tha happened during development, helps also dismistify the products
I would only have 1 question... Why on earth , can we not have the recent zen cores , whit an i/o die , that uses quad channel ddr4......... I know the future is ddr5 , but .. please , for the love of god , amd zen cpus should had allways be available whit dual or quad channel i/o dies... It would had been such a good upgrade path if someone had bought a suitable motherboard , say a ryzen 3600 cpu , 2 sticks of ram. And could now buy an ryzen 5000 series cpu , whit the beefy i/o die , 2 more sticks of ram , and Just be happy whit a good boost in bandwidth , and doubled capacity. Unlike now , many had switched to ryzen 5000 series , and realy are hopeless when it comes to the new ryzen. Motherboard , cpu , memory goes out the window. Hence others are hesitating to switch from 5800x3d , as ddr5 currently is a bit funky Both by price , and stability. Why we can't Just have nice things ? These latter people will likely gona stick to ryzen 5000 platform till they can. Whats the point then...
Back in 2016 the tech world started talking about the upcoming Zen, and i said to the idiot intel femboys that, Zen will be future Legend (i did base my prediction on Jim Keller mostly and his back record), and all i got was laughed on, and most said ZEN will be another FAILdozer and stuff... Fast forward to 2017 and ZEN launch, everyone was shocked ZEN was actually really good, (tho IPC level was Broadwell at the time), i was clever enough to sell few months early my AM3+ parts with FX-8350, so i jumped a month or 2 to the AM4 bandwagon with Ryzen 1700 (lost the silicone lottery the chip was not even stable at 3.9GHz, and could not post on 4GHz hah) and highest end Aorus x370 K7 (still have this damn board, still runs rock solid) mobo.... Few years later i moved to Ryzen 3700x, then few years later i moved to now Ryzen 5800x3D, great upgrades... Also had with 1700x, Radeon RX580 8GB, that i sold to miners in late 2021 for double the prices, so that i can upgrade in early 2023 to Radeon 6800XT, and using in the mean time Radeon R9 290, that had about the same performance as the RX580... So with Jim Keller ZEN was destined for greatness. But the Intel femboys could not see this, and laughed off, not so funny since 2020 huh.... But what did not even i saw coming was the fail Intel did with 13 and 14 gen, and all the crap, hell no one expected such a downfall.... But at least they have ARC, and that brings some hope to the GPU market...
Started using AMD after Cyrix "died" . From the Athlon Thunderbird, to a Sempron, and then a Phenom 9550, Phenom II x4 965, FX 8320, Ryzen 2 2600, Ryzen 3 3300X, Athlon 3000G (serving as my parents' HTPC) , Ryzen 5 5600 (in my 2nd rig now) and then finally a Ryzen 7 5800x3d (jumping to Zen 5 when the X3d parts are out and MS works out the kinks in their rubbish OS). Obviously I am a AMD man for both CPUs and GPUs. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford Intel, and AMD (and Cyrix) were there to save the day. Wonderful memories of using these cpus, and am grateful for them both. Now that I could afford the best from AMD, Intel or Nvidia, I would still go full AMD.
*I really like this interview, but "father Zen" Mike Clark , is not easy to follow, he is sadly all over the place.* Clearly not an good spokes man. But still .... Alll the kudo's for him !
AMD is just killing it all ! , *AMD & Radeon are the one and only real future !! I just love it !* Intel & Nvidia, can both go to hell, for my part ! #AMD4LIFE ! GO AMD !!!
If they can offer mainboards for mini/itx builds that have soldered on GPU/CU with RDNA3+....i could see them being huge for ppl in that budget/gaming pc market, or HTPC/Server realm. Once wifi7 and future generations of better pcs are available....you can easily use a system with this orientation for lighter/gaming most portable/pc/streaming if you have projectors/tvs...connect directly to one of those outputs....and stream a MAIN systems HORESPOWER to this portable rig...for PVE max settings entertainment on any monitor/solution. If they can offer 6600-6650 range rasterization with a dedicated board/gpu chip and some 6c/8c budget oriented setups would be huge/cost cutting if also supporting rdna3+ or future amd DXR/FSR Support as an 8000 series "chipset" with various CU offered as mini pc boards or ppl no a gaming budget...In a market with no Flagship gpu offered...i think that would sell...even board partners involved or X3D amd/motherboards. They could actually really bring something to the table.
If you're able to track down the original team that was responsible for the AMD Opteron, some of those guys were originally on the DEC Alpha team, and some of the ideas found its way into said AMD Opteron line. It would be interesting to listen to the stories about the history of Opteron/Athlon, and then how/why Bulldozer/Piledriver didn't do well, which led to Zen.
now you know why they don't like letting engineers talk to the media/public, lol. want 95% of the truth, go to the engineer's. want a bologna sandwich, go to the PR team.
