AMD Readies Ryzen Threadripper SKUs based on "Pinnacle Ridge" Dies

[EarthDog]

It can be but prevention is always better

Let me say it a different way...

He isn't mad. Not remotely. In fact, his post was a positive statement for AMD. You aren't preventing anything except a clear understanding of his post in your head.

Move along.

It's shorter to say Ryzen 2 than Ryzen 2000 series. It's only logical for media to call it something short and simple.

Yes, it is shorter... Logical for them, and a cluster for those without a clue (most everyone).

Pinnacle Ridge is Zen+ - see the slide in this thread.
Raven Ridge is NOT Zen+ and is Ryzen 2000....

...so.....................

Ryzen 2000 can mean Zen or Zen+ depending on if you are talking APU or CPU.

Ryzen 2 is fine, but also confused many as they thought it was Zen 2...good job media.

It's also too easy to just mistype something when writing quickly, as the names are so similar.

Hope to see this in action, 2950X.

At some point I'm hoping, AMD will release a TR4 CPU with GPU cores. A collosal APU if you will. 8-core CPU coupled with 28-core (1792-shader) Vega GPU should currently be doable at 180W TDP, potentially better hardware with the 7nm process. This would be of great service to us customers facing unreal GPU prices due to cryptomining. Despite some predictions that GPUs for cryptomining will eventually die, I'm sorry to say that I don't see that happening anytime soon or later. If AMD did this, they could charge some good premium but it would still be a worthy buy for customers compared to dGPU prices.

AIB's already showed mATX is doable with TR4, and I'm pretty sure mITX is also doable but just requires the will. Think about the high-end gaming machines that would be enabled in ~3lt chassis.

2066 is barely doable with itx.... TR4 socket is twice as big... no freaking way man.

Yup I only see board renders, it's possible but not likely. Matx is the way to go for the smallest hedt from Intel and AMD. Any smaller good luck trying to keep thermals and noise down.

Without the 2800X, maybe an 8c/16t TR makes more sense now (for around $500)

They have that already, it's called the 1900X.

On top of that, whatever you can cram into a mITX chasis, there will always big something more power that doesn't fit. In other words, no matter how much HP you squeeze into that box, high-end gaming will always remain outside of it.

Ye of little faith!

Has there been any rumours of a new chipset to go with new TR? This might dictate my plans on dropping down to a mainstream 8 core or not.

I doon't know. Let's check, say, first page maybe? https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/TechPowerUp/Future_Hardware_Releases/

No need to be a smart ass, considering it says 'stays on socket TR4' but says nothing on chipset except being compatible with X399. If you read my question, I asked if theres a new chipset to go with it, not if it was compatible with current, or if the socket is the same.

That page summarizes everything we know about it right now.
Plus, why are you asking? Do you need a new chipset because X399 doesn't cut it?

Why neuter performance unnecessarily? Especially considering X470 apparently has better memory routing which has been a continual crux for Zen, and better CPU power delivery for OC.

What's "memory routing"?
And what does a chipset have to do with "better CPU power delivery"?

As I said, makes more sense NOW.

Problem here are price to performance.The threadripper are such a bad buy.If i want to get cpu/mobo and ram it will cost around 19k my currency.The i9 intel are even worst on 23k.I'll rather stick to the 1600 ryzen 5.Am waiting for the 2600 but idk when that will be released.

Naw give us a EPYC APU with OCTA Channel!

If they haven't added new features to the Processor, and have only made refinements, then I wouldn't expect the need yet for new chipsets.
Seeing that a BIOS update is all that is mentioned to allow them to run on X399 Boards, this sort of confirms that to me.

 

[nemesis.ie]

Yes, there have been rumours last week based on unofficial slide leaks hinting at an updated TR4 chipset/board.

It would seem to make sense if things like adjusting the XFR settings on Ryzen 2000 series are only available on e.g. X470 and not X370, that the same would be done on a revised TR4 motherboard. X499 perhaps?
