>>60464372
They are marketing Threadripper themselves as their own HEDT platform, I think consumers (and businesses) will read into that as meaning HEDT-like pricing relative to intel's HEDT platform. It'll be more than $1000 for sure but more than $2000? Unlikely.

Isn't it 16 cores and 32 threads? Intel is up to 24 cores and 48 threads. Regardless, Intel has the more advanced fab plants so can put more transistors onto a die the same size. This has always been the issue with AMD.

You'd have to create something with a main thread that spawns slave threads that communicate with each other, this is fairly normal.
But if you want to make it choke IF you'd have to tell it to constantly copy the main and slave thread to different dies for no reason whatsoever.
In fact this would impact Intel's performance as well since you're doing core to core comm which induces quite a lot of latency, it would just choke AMD harder.
Needless to say nobody makes such retarded code

Would be great for the few HPC apps that can actually use AVX512 (and for those you'd definitely want the new high end Xeons), but is pointless for general purpose servers and is a bitch to compile due to ridiculous errata - they've had since Knights Landing to try to get it right and it's still flaky and clocks down, barriers etc.

Naples engineering samples run very nicely indeed for general purpose 1S servers (don't know personally about 2S) with plenty of fast IO and Epyc will likely be extremely price competitive with Xeon - if it is they may well have actually a few big contracts, not just taunting Intel to get cheaper prices this time.

Apparently over 80% yield too.

Going over 75W on average is a breach of the protocol and there are lots of motherboards that will die under those kinds of loads since they're not designed for more than the specs.

Saying that 'hurr durr 155W is being drawn from the 75W rated PCI-E slot and is causing explosions' is dumb fanboy speak.

AMD's 32 core EPYC doesn't really matter for anyone here.

AMD has moved from being a budget bang-for-the-buck brand to targeting the high-end high-margin market segment.

If you're buying a AMD Ryzen then you're giving 30% of what you pay directly to AMD as gross profit.

>>60462539

Yeah, no one here is a sysadmin, hardware guy, solution architect, etc. No. We are all NEETs here. The memes are 100% accurate.

You mean the same servers whose HTTP servers run a single threaded event loop that accepts zillions of connections while keeping memory usage at a minimum because they don't incur the overhead of threads and their stacks? Data centers whose hardest task is storing and moving humongous amounts of data all over the place in the most cost-effective manner possible?

You don't need clock speed for either of those...

Except I'm not pretending dumbass. What I said is literally the truth, 32 fucking cores and you have no recourse but to say 'but intel is doing it to' and 'what about X', 'stop trolling'. The roles are reversed here fucker

>>60486598
So what if it's a "server CPU"? I/O is still vastly more important for performance. Functionality is compartmentalized. Programs are fully virtualized now in order to isolate failures and decrease attack surface. Do you actually run all your programs on a single god damn server? I pity you if your company does this.

What the fuck makes you think you actually need this 32 core piece of shit? If you have such highly parallel workloads that it could benefit you, I bet your needs are likely better served by GPGPU.

stay mad you unemployed fucker
>>
>>60486735
> I/O is still vastly more important for performance
Which the 32C chips will have an unholy fuckton of. 128 lanes of PCI-E, 8 memory channels, integrated sata controllers, and who knows what else AMD has crammed onto each of the 8c dies going into each one.

I/O is something AMD is not lacking in this generation for their server chips.
>>
>>60486735
>I/O
Oh, you mean that stuff that EPYC has a shitton more of than any Intel offering?

Actually, there pretty much isn't a single metric on which EPYC doesn't BTFO every Xeon

>32 core
Oh don't worry there will also be a 16-core EPYC to BTFO all the cheaper Xeons too.

All of that is great. Those features have everything to do with I/O performance and nothing to do with multiprocessing.

If it were me I'd get rid of these idiotic cores and cram even more sweet stuff in the chip. I don't know, even adding more cache would substantially improve things and would be a better use of the chip real estate.

Leave multiprocessing to the GPU. Parallel problems are already leveraging it to great effect. A measly 32 core CPU is laughable really.

>I/O is something AMD is not lacking in this generation for their server chips.

It deserves praise for that. Not for it's huge amount of stupid ass processor cores.

Computer architecture needs to move the fuck on. Nobody cares about processors anymore. They're good enough. Focus on improving the ridiculously slow memory and network. Processor caches can only help so much.

>>60486923
If it were you, these companies would be bankrupt.

IBM's coming out 176 thread POWER9 chip soon, Intel's coming out with their 28-32 core chip soon, AMD has its 32 core.

They don't build these chips for kicks, their customers demand more compute power and more efficiency.
Ignoring the memory capacity and I/O, because those are pretty important nowadays too.

>IBM's coming out 176 thread POWER9 chip soon, Intel's coming out with their 28-32 core chip soon, AMD has its 32 core.

Yawn.

>their customers demand more compute power and more efficiency.

Sure.

Lowering power consumption is a great way to improve efficiency. Today's world is all about low power computing. "More computing power", especially higher clocks and more cores, are the enemy of low power. This isn't just about mobile battery-powered devices either. Server farms consume absurd amounts of electricity just to run all the hardware and they're also spending money in refrigeration costs to dissipate all the heat the hardware generates.

Using more expensive materials and manufacturing processes to ensure longer lifetimes is a great way to add value. Consumers deal with planned obsolescence but companies use things for a pretty long time. "Server processors", just like "server hard drives", are generally built to run 24/7/365 whereas consumers frequently turn off their computers. Reliability is key here.

>Ignoring the memory capacity and I/O, because those are pretty important nowadays too.

"Most important" is more like it.

Industrial chips have more of everything that matters, including processor cache, memory addressing lines, better expansion options, ECC memory, the list goes on.

Quite frankly if you decide which processor to purchase based on the amount of cores it has you deserve to be fired. Buy a fucking GPU if you really need that stuff. It can just as easily be virtualized in order to power several servers worth of applications using the same technology that allows Linux gamers to play on a virtualized Windows guest.

>Ryzen processors seem to be reaching strong values and are reaching numbers passing 80% for fully the functional 8-core parts.

intel dreams about it.
>>
>>60487272
Intel's yields are high too for small dies but their fabs go into the price, and fabs are fucking expensive.
>>
So it was true that Ryzen doesn't have all the I/O lanes enabled, while each die has 32 on Naples.
>>
>>60487288
intel can't make 8 cores with 80% yields, though.
>>
>>60487139
I don't know what you got against cores, but you do know there will be 16 and 24 core versions with the same amount of I/O, memory bandwidth and channels as the 32 core ones who don't need the compute performance and want less power and something cheaper?
>>
>>60487351
>I don't know what you got against cores

They cost money, take up chip real estate that could've been used for better things, use actual electricity to run and dissipate heat even while idle.

>16 and 24 core versions with the same amount of I/O, memory bandwidth and channels

Sounds great. No need to spend money on features that are useless at best and outclassed by graphics hardware at worst.

You keep saying "compute performance" as if you were going to crunch numbers with the thing

It's a general term for higher throughput, but it is a fact that more cores per node give you the ability to run more VMs or docker instances.
>>

>more cores per node give you the ability to run more VMs or docker instances.
Nah most datacenters now are constrained by space since they overbuilt the power delivery and cooling for projected future needs but those needs never materialized. Now it's all about stacking units butt to nut and having a short run to the storage units. Every major center is going to be getting almost free power from supply contracts with power providers since they're in on the renewable energy bonds scheme.
