I had to check, if "Moore's Law" is the name of the theory stating that the number of transistors in ICCs doubles in a certain interval. Then I had to check again, if this channel's name is "Moore's Law is dead". And I must admit I found myself confounded by this complaint video, demanding nothing less than a relaunch of an entire processor family, predicated on the assessment that doing more with much less power isn't good enough. I had to unsubscribe, because there are a dozen YT-channels where I can listen to the same narrow point of view without the confusion about where we are with this technology. The name "Moore's Law is dead" at least suggests that the premise of the channel is that assessments are based on the realization that the semi-conductor technology is inevitably approaching a plateau and thus "generational uplifts" will become smaller and smaller as time goes on. P.S.: Windows 11 is rubbish.

My tinfoil hat theory is that they either intentionally neutered the standard SKUs to make their upcoming X3D look better, or they don't care because they assume anyone waiting for X3D was never going to buy the nonX3D parts anyway. Whatever gaming performance uplift they offer with these new 9000 series would need to be significantly outperformed by the 9000X3D chips in order for AMD to charge a meaningful premium for said X3D parts. Put differently, if any of the non-X3D parts outperformed the 7800X3D, that just makes "life" harder for the 9000X3D chips.

Also, in such large companies, getting teams to work together is discouraged because silos drive efficiency (in the addled minds of leadership that can't lead, and managers that can't manage), so tribalism isn't just unfortunate, it's a direct result of...just...garbage tier leadership.

Things are different when looking at the Linux side of things. Expectations were generally met there with a ~15% IPC increase. The question is whose responsibility it is to fix things inside the windows kernel and scheduler. Part of it certainly is AMD but all of it? There are couple of other oddities creeping up. Anand tech’s testing shows something interesting in how multiple CCD’s communicate with each other. Half the cores in the remote CCD have an extra 20 be of latency which doesn’t exist going core to core on the local CCD. Gamers Nexus efficiency testing has some voltage anomalies which make me think things are ~50 mV higher than they should be. It doesn’t make sense that Zen 5 at the same clocks and a slightly better node is at that much higher voltage. This is also all in the context of a delay to their original launch date. AMD needed to push it back a bit but still with some extra time this so the mess at launch? And officially AMD hasn’t given a specific reason for the launch delay. Ultimately I think Zen 5 will be fine in the end as the issues are software based. The key components of the hardware appear to be OK if underwhelming right now. AMD has an event next week so hopefully things will be addressed then.
@woobilicious.26 күн бұрын
It's 100% Windows responsibility, It's their code, and they're the only people with access to it, and scheduler code is extremely complicated code that takes lots of planning and consideration. On the other side AMD directly writes code for Linux and submits it to Linus and Co for review, this is one of the reasons why Linux is so attractive to big corps, there's no bureaucracy and being put on the wait-list, you just write the patches, justify your code, have engineers tell you ways to fix it, and they accept it. There's no middle managers and finance department getting in the way saying "this has no monetary value, so we won't assign engineers to it". Linux also has market advantage of being used in Routers and IBM super computers, and ARM Android phones, They've had spent a long time writing flexible code that works in most situations. The new EEVDF CPU scheduler is probably why Linux is doing so well in these benchmarks.

zen+ was good, fantastic even. you could get 2700x's for $150 consistently not long after launch, which was absolutely killer. and on the other end of the spectrum, 1600AF's were only $85, sometimes less offering competitive performance with the 7700k in some games, and even if it was usually a little slower, an extra 2 cores at less than half of the price. it was a fantastic gen... this one is more expensive than Zen 4 while offering no meaningful improvement in most cases

Tom, your whole concept of dual V-cache R9's continuously misses why its not an option. AMD released new chipset drivers that introduced core parking to non X-3D Zen 5. The reason for that is because it has always been a problem for a certain number of games where inter-ccd communication hurts performance going all the way back to Zen 2. Nothing about dual X3D fixes that until game naturally need to address more than 16 threads. The only reason to get an R9 in general is if you lean toward productivity. That doesn't mean you can't be a gamer as well that can benefit from 1 CCD of Vcache. The performance gained by X3D generally out weighs the 8-10% loss from the clock decrease of the 1 stacked CCD. If you are losing 16-20% by stacking both it makes the product more pointless. Your all or nothing take on gaming vs productivity is really missing that point. I'll explain it this way. I'm nerd with a sysadmin background. I do a number of things that includes Linux and virtual machines, and I play flight sims and various games that very much appreciate the cache. I've only seen star citizen using 60% of a 5950X which is approaching 20 threads with a 6800XT. The 7950X3D is so much faster that it may kiss 50% with an even stronger GPU to feed. That is not anywhere close to being most games. With the 1 stacked CCD approach, you can main Linux, pin the stacked CCD to a Windows VM which will cover almost all of your gaming needs, and still have cores that reach 5.7Ghz for everything else.

Keller designs the team, not the chips, Apples chips are still good and that's because he got a blank slate to create a top team of engineers. You don't bring in an Engineer like Keller to build a chip and then leave you hanging after he leaves, he comes in, restructures the Engineering team, so they can keep churning out products, Keller isn't a magic silicon wizard who can magically manifest a uarch that's better than the previous generation. Zen 1 wasn't designed by Keller, When you make a CPU design you have to predict the future of software design and how people write code and also run simulations on existing code and see where the bottlenecks are, this isn't a person problem, it's a "how do we structure the team so it's really good at finding bottlenecks and building around them" problem, Zen 1 was already in the mind of someone at AMD, the Issue was trashing the dogshit philosophy they had when producing Bulldozer, AMD actually produced a Bulldozer chip with 40% IPC uplift near the end of it's life, but no one noticed. Zen 5 being a clean sheet, also means it's a longer projection, higher risk gamble, Zen 1 was pretty bad compared to Intel at the time as well, but getting lead times down from 5 years to 2 means they can be more align and flexible and adapt to new bottlenecks, and silicon issues, this is why Zen 4 is so good, because they had a good foundation to work off, Zen 4 was designed by the team, on top of the foundations of Zen 1, you can either stagnate like Intel did with Skylake, or AMD with Bulldozer, or take a slight risk by doing a clean sheet design that lay out the foundation for the next 4 generations, over 2-3 node shrinkages.

Rocket Lake had up to 2.7x speed up in some AVX512 workloads over Comet Lake. In benchmarks that are both used on windows and Linux (like blender), performance is in line with what others found.

The only reason that core parking is needed is because of the huge latencies. Using zen2 code base instead of zen 4 is probably why the latencies are so huge; they're doing things the dumb old way.

I wonder if the inter-core latency test that are flying around the internet are the same if they are ran in Linux. AMD's next gen HAS TO work on lowering latency/speeding up the IF

The core parking on the 9950X and 9900X is strange, and the wattage on the 9700X is odd. For the X3D, they better not fumble with the 2 CCD V-Cache, no core parking🤞 , and have overclocking. It's unfortunate that AMD has an opportunity with Intel down, yet they seem to be messing it up.

I have to wonder what Lisa is actually doing daily at AMD. There is such a clear disconnect between engineering and marketing. I don't know if engineering is handing marketing legit numbers and marketing then makes up new numbers or vice versa. We saw the terrible marketing with the pointless 5900XT launch, which proved to be 1% faster than a 5950X. Lisa needs to get both parties in the same room and have a very uncomfortable conversation. Is she respected?

Wait a minute. There should actually be no core parking with 9900X or 9950X because the feature was only there for the X3D variants, so that the game uses only the X3D CCD. But the regular 9900X and 9950X don't have X3D so core parking shouldn't be necessary, right?
@AbeDillon26 күн бұрын
No. Core parking has been a thing much longer than x3D. It’s pretty simple: if you don’t have enough demand to keep N cores busy, you can save energy and heat by parking unused cores. Chiplets and x3D complicate this practice because it matters which cores you park.
@GreatOne081526 күн бұрын
@@AbeDillon But aren't cores going to low power state anyway, if they just do nothing? I always thought that core parking was invented for prefering the 3D Cache chiplet. I never heard about core parking problems back when I had a 3900X or later 5900X.

It feels to me that if this was always going to be the case for launch, they should have changed the core counts meaningfully.

It's the underlying foundation that is relied by the software stack. That should have been at least Zen4... not Zen damn 2 .... petty office politics. I've seen the b.s that crap causes and it derails everything.

Architecture. Ie the logical blocks of transistors that make up part of a core. Eg the fpu is a logical block of transistors. There can be different versions of an fpu which achieve the same results in different ways with different speeds. In theory, you could take an fpu from the original amd x64 and slot it into a current gen design. You wouldn't do it, because it has surely evolved long past that, and the performance would be terrible, but it should theoretically work. The implication in the claims is that instead of evolving from the Zen5 blocks, they rewound to Zen2 and evolved that. It's kinda like your grandparents having a child when you're already an adult. You're older than them, but they're technically an aunt/uncle. It's awkward, confusing, and there ain't nobody who wants that crap.

Dude I’m sorry but you need to admit you were wrong here. Don’t hide behind someone else’s work in order to redirect scrutiny to them (like Wendell). You were wrong about the performance uplifts, and then you were wrong in suggesting these parts were simply underpowered or underprepared (by not shipping faster RAM, for example, which has absolutely no effect on performance for Zen 5), or that PBO wasnt tested, or that there’s some mysterious bug at the root of it… yes-there are minor discrepancies such as the ones Wendell has pointed out. But no, these parts aren’t going to change drastically after a microcode update. Admit you were wrong and move on.

The cross CCD latency is a very suspicious regression. I’ve seen HWINFO screenshots where the second CCD is clocked much lower. The whole things is really sketchy

The clockspeed difference is probably intentional, AMD is pairing a higher silicon quality CCD with a lower quality one.

Having two VCache CCDs is pointless unless you can make sure that threads are not bouncing between the two CCDs, since the latency benefit you get from storing stuff in the cache would be seriously reduced if not entirely eliminated by the latency of moving across the Infinity Fabric connection to the other CCD.

It's a shame because I need a new PC and work in a lot of "productivity" apps that benefit from a chip like the 9950X, but the game bar and core parking and just general nonsense is such a turnoff. It may not be AMD's _fault,_ but it _is_ their problem.

I have a 7950X3D and I don't understand why people want V-Cache on both CCDs. Hear me out: Tie games to the V-Cache CCD: 7800X3D performance Tie games to the vanilla CCD: 7700X performance Tie games to 4 cores from each CCD: AVG FPS goes 20-ish % below the 7700X/Vanilla CCD and the 1% Lows get laughably bad. What you DO NOT WANT is cross-CCD communication. Slapping V-Cache on both CCDs WILL NOT fix that. AMD needs to bribe Valve and other game stores into forcing the CCD lock right from the launcher or some shit.
