I was looking at how much $$$ I'd require to replace my 4th gen haswell with 2nd gen ryzen 5, because I have reached a point where I can no longer watch a HD video on Youtube and play games at the same time, and jesus absolute fucking christ weren't the RAM prices supposed to drop? There's no way in hell I'm shelling out 150 Eur for two 8GB sticks when around two years ago I only paid 60 Eur for DDR3 2x8GB. I guess here goes the plan of upgrading my PC this month.
8+IO die from AMD confirmed.

What an absolute unit. Color me surprised, didn't think they'd be able to pull this off while staying on the same socket.
Sad thing is they did/are!

Windless tablets are the only good ones for anything more than media consumption/idle web browsing.
Anyone use Oscilloscopes? Had some interest in getting one. Not sure where to look besides Rigol and Keysight being some popular options.
Don’t get anything handheld or super budget. It’s just not worth the lack of clarity.
Well I'm looking to get a proper bench model.
I have no need for portability.
Rigol is great for new on a budget. Otherwise browse around for used Tek or HP gear. Definitely get something digital because being able to record traces is something that you don't think you'll need until you do. Other than that your bandwidth, space requirements, and budget constraints will determine what you can get.
I really hope I find a CRT O-scope when thrifting or at an estate sale. I could really use a real bench scope and I want a CRT one for just sweet pure analog goodness.
I still remember the Ryzen 1 hype train:

Get the Rigol DS1054Z and get all the options for free with riglol
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
This time, they're actually good cores.
2990 and 2970 are 4 dies, one die has 2 CCX.
One of these would have 16 CCX.
Current "Naples" - based EPYC looks as such:

And the just announced "Rome" - based EPYC:

What's weird, is how fucking huge that I/O die (it's a 14nm die, as opposed to the 7nm CPU dies).
People are speculating it has a truckload of off-die L4 cache. Big if true. Could around 512MiB of L4 based on die-size apparently.
I can no longer afford computer parts because I have a car payment after driving a '99 Accord for like 10 years, I finally got a "new" car.
I took over the lease on a 2016 Accord, $416/mo rip my money.
They already began:
Cascade Lake-AP Xeon CPUs embrace the multi-chip module
Jeez, that's a lease? I bought a brand new '17 Ford Escape 2 years ago and my payment on my loan is $350/mo.
That seems really high, what kind of term length is that...?
72 months, something like 4.2%
They could do a Ghettoripper where they spin a low-cost variant of the IO die that has 2 InfinityFabric links, 2 memory controllers, 24 PCI-E lanes, and the other misc. stuff, and then just have 2 of the new Rome dies to get 16 cores in a "Ryzen" package. It could be compatible with current AM4 boards, in my mind, unless there's some problem I can't think of right now.
Yikes! For future reference, don’t do that. Go to your bank, get a pre-approved loan, and if you’re worried about a used car being unreliable buy from Carmax and abuse the hell out of their warranty.
Leasing is a a massive scam. You’ll have nothing to show for it afterwards and it costs basically as much as a really really good used car.
I'm not leasing, I bought out the least and this is from my credit union
Oh my mistake. That’s still an awful rate but I guess you’ve done what you can.
If I was able to go lower I would have.
I'm already going to pay it off early though.
I had a mild heart attack at work today. A brand new XPS 13 with the most expensive config came into our office for initial setup (Wipe, install image from WDS, enroll into domain), I plugged in the charger to the usb-c port with the charger logo, booted installer and started installing. Two minutes later the screen began glitching out and it died, only to never turn on and give cpu/mainboard general failure error light code. Not even 5 minutes out of the box and it was dead.
I hope Dell will RMA it as DOA device.
So uhh, last night I get called from my office to live production because our router couldn't see the live video that was coming from a very special [consistent fuck up of a] sister station. The whole problem? My receiver was totally seeing that we were getting the feed from their grid, it showed up on my QC monitor too, oh but what's this? 1080I 50? What?
Some how these fucking idiots set their camera to 50hz PAL mode, and the router here doesn't support that shit so it was like, "NAH, UNSUPPORTED FORMAT FAM, GET FUK"
Then I had to call the other station and talk their reporter through how to change their camera to 1080i 59.96 instead, all while not having this specific model of camera on hand my self, and the menu for doing so is absolutely burried in the back of some system menus. No idea how they set it to 50hz in the first place.
AMD hates spinning up ancillary wafers, and looking at the high-level design of the IO die, it looks like they can cut it into quadrants. Meaning the TR IO die might just be 1/2 the EPYC die, and the Ryzen die being 1/4.
Oh wow, I had seen that trial stuff before and wrote it off. I'll see about getting that one.
I have a hacked 1054z, it's not a bad scope at all.
