    AMD X Apple unveil the Radeon W6800X Duo

    It is a given that multi-GPU scaling is going to be an app by app improvement but at least on the Mac side, their failed trash can endeavor did get app developers to embrace the idea of multi-GPU where it can. This time around there are coherent links between the GPUs and four RX 6800 (albeit...

    AMD X Apple unveil the Radeon W6800X Duo

    I'm genuinely surprised that Apple has stuck with Intel and not switched over to AMD Threadripper, Threadripper Pro or even Epyc chips. The improvement on the Mac Pro 2019's IO would be massive and significantly cheaper as the Threadripper Pro and Epyc chips sport a full 128 PCIe lanes which...

    Intel has started benchmarking their high end GPU's

    There are a couple of things people seem to be forgetting about when it comes to the current state of cutting edge production. First off was that Global Foundries tapped out of the game not too long ago. This is what forced AMD to go to TSMC for the CPU side of their Zen 2 and Zen 3 chips...

    Microsoft returning to Flight Simulator in 2020

    Looks like a simulator setup with either a Barco or a Christie Digital setup. Both companies have excellent blending and image warping technologies that will map on to the curved surface of a the simulator's shell. Neat stuff but be prepared for sticker shock. Depending on how bright you want...

    'NBA 2K21' Will Cost $70 USD for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Is this the new normal?

    There were handful of $60 games back in the 90's, notably those using larger sized carts in the 16 bit days. Since Nintendo stuck with carts, the majority of N64 games were $60 new were as the Sega Saturn and and Sony Playstation 1 leveraged the cheaper manufacturing cost of their mediums to...

    is Navi 12 = Navi 10 + HBM (for apple)

    The Navi 12 part is an interesting surprise. Probably a play by Apple to reduce motherboard area and further reduce power while keeping performance similar enough to 5600. The real question is if Apple will continue to leverage custom AMD designs (who else has access to Navi 12?) if/when they...

    Creative introduces the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition in a white finish with added RGB effects

    Here is a recent audio card I picked up for work. Goes from various sources to a mixing console and then into the PC system. Neat piece of kit for the professional space. For home, I picked up this that outputs to DSP cluster I've thrown together on the cheap. Technically it should be...

    AMD Announces Radeon Pro VII Graphics Card, Brings Back Multi-GPU Bridge

    It is Infinity Fabric between the GPUs. It should also be pointed out that Apple's quad configuration isn't optimal either. Imagine the four GPUs in a square and there is an Infinity Fabric link on each edge. Apple's configuration doesn't connect the GPU's catercorner from each other. In...

    AMD Announces Radeon Pro VII Graphics Card, Brings Back Multi-GPU Bridge

    The bridge thing isn't new, even for Vega 20: Apple uses it in their 2019 revision of the Mac Pro. It's how you get the quad GPU configuration. Both AMD and nVidia are seemingly working on better ways of teaming multiple GPUs together. The advancements in ray tracing make revisiting these...

    DRAM is stuck in a 10nm trap

    This has been known about for years but we are just now hitting that barrier without any sort material science break through for the next generation of DRAM. Back when this DRAM barrier was initially discussed, there was a proposed solution that can still work: use SRAM. This is the same...

    [H] Exclusive: GDDR7 Hints

    GDDR standards tend to mimic vanilla DDR standard in terms of cadence. GDDR7 likely implements many changes that has occurred between DDR4 -> DDR5. I do wonder if this requires moving to a package-on-package topology as the GDDR6 currently has a rather short trace length. While I wouldn't say...

    Ryzen 2 APU review: AMD brings fantastic first knockdown of the Ryzen 4000 series.

    AMD seems to have a good product here but looking at the world right now it appears to be the absolute worst time for release.

    DOOM Eternal - Official

    The game is good but not as great as 2016. Two steps forward and one step back it seems. The game's story is now up front and center compared to 2016's which did indeed have a story but following it was more organic and paying attention to it was far more optional. The story this time around...
