I think that guy skipped very basic high school math. I can't even believe that he's allowed to share such misinformed and untrue statements to be perfectly honest....
Your Darmok exchange with Steve had me in stitches. Also, I'm overdue for a Trek rewatch on my Plex you helped motivate me to setup! Hope you had/have a blast in Taiwan sir.
Same! Love my x399 TaiChi, it took me 3 years to use every single bit of the pcie connectivity that the TR2950x had to offer. Literally never had an issue with this board, it’s extremely likely my next board is going to be an Asrock
Computex big keynotes seem to get more incomprehensible with every passing year. Thankfully we have Wendell to translate for us and cut through the B.S. Keep it up! Level1techs rules.
I'm excited about the faster DDR5 coming out (desktop/server style). It was interesting that the demonstration machine was using a AMD APU and liquid cooled, at that!
Leave it to the second largest company by market cap to come up with a slogan like "the more you buy, the more you save." Can't get any more on-brand than that.
before nvdia gobbled up melanox i was so exited for infinity fabric but now after i saw intel of all ppl show Uetheth i am now super exited for it. Also am5 server and full E-core server what a time to be exited for
12:52 -- Wow! Second mention of Asrock X470 by Wendell in less than 30 days 👍 Superb AM4 motherboards, the X470 D4U and X570 D4U-2L2T have got good second-hand value for a reason. (See Level1Tech's video, "Trash to Treasure? A 25 gig NAS DIY" VvN9E25SE0I, minute 15.) Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
Yearly product cadence will be good. Basically nothing happened to gpus since January. It's clearly a slow time for the RU-vidrs cuz there's nothing to talk about january-november! 7600xt and thats it!
Gigabyte just announced a new TRX50 motherboard. Would love to see that covered by Wendell given the coverage of all other existing TRX50 motherboards on the channel. I wonder if there is anything else to stir up the pot in AMD HEDT land at this years Computex...
@12:45 YES please! I would die happy if SuperMicro came in and made 2U - 4 node Twin out of that. 3 Proxmox nodes with Ceph and 1 TrueNAS Scale node would make the perfect all in one server solution.
I'm interested in CAMM2 and using U.3 SSDs for Desktop. I much rather use them with an adapter than put a giant heat sink on an m.2 SSD. Since I will never use Win11 the whole copilot AI stuff is irrelevant for me. For the AI I can use on Linux my 4070 runs circles around any NPU.
USB-C as in 3.2 USB-C with 10Gbe Ethernet? Are you looking for unobtainium? AFAIK the best non thunderbolt option are those 5Gbe-but-not-quite Aquantia chips. Looking forward for wathever you find about though.
can't wait for cheap arm laptops - I love my windows converted chromebook with Celeron N4500 so I am primed for even lower powered and more efficient PCs
I’ve been drooling over computer parts but once I’m ready to buy them the newer faster version drops at Computex or one of a million other events. The more you buy the more you save hahaha really mmmm hmmmm
How does MS benefit by undermining Strix Point & Lunar Lake x86 AI PCs? What am I missing. They aren't a significant OEM. Last time I looked mainstream Windows PCs had a large cost advantage over Apple. Perhaps it's another big MS strategic bet, based on their own AI hardware and Azure? In the past MS didn't bend over backwards to encourage competition, in fact the opposite. They also apparently played games with Surface & Xbox. Using AMD development platform then at launch event with AMD engineers near the front row announced a production contract with Intel. Xbox was also entertaining bids from Gelsinger while Sony have built on a relationship to have time to deliver custom features. Wendell's suggestion that MS is beating AMD/Intel down would appear to me to make more sense for Dell than MS. If MS ignored out of box support for the Phoenix NPU, Hawk Point and the coming Strix Point, rather than OEM wanting to tailor customer experience they're abusing their OS strength. There again MS appears to be undermining Windows with 11, losing market share just as Xbox seems to be falling apart with gamers.
On the one hand I hope AMD is able to be competitive with Nvidia for enterprise/datacenter, on the other hand the part of me that plays games is crying.
AMD new mobo's gonna be out way out in september. If I am going to spend big on a new cpu I'd rather get the usb4 mobo iwth new chipset, alas. So, not spending on it then.
For the vast majority the real estate of an NPU on a laptop would be much better used for the CPU or Graphics but that wouldn't increase the share price of yet another scam buzzword AI can.
The more you buy the more you waste.... AMD showed their MI300X beating the H100 systems. Sure Blackwell will be faster but its also even more ass rape expensive.... So yeah. AMDs offering, hell intels offerings for AI. We are gonna see a shift soon. Nvidias closed ecosystem is killing them, again, just like all their other closed shit that ruined them.
Qualcomm is a known promise much deliver little Company... so not gonna hold my breath about anything from 'em and as I can't come up with anything nice to say about M$ I end here.
Honestly who gives a fuck what AMD does... Except for gaming amd's gpus ate useless, bunch of profesional programs cant work on them. And for the gaming market taking 100$ off compared to an Nvidia gpus is just insulting, for the amount of features that nvidia has, amds cards should be 50% off compared to nvidia cards...
