Now thats a lot of cache

Good to know these are baking well. Gives me hope on what to expect out of the 5800X3D part. I'm still not that thrilled with it, but I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

Also, a 1K jump in price for about 50% extra performance on top dog CPUs is not bad. Even when Companies scoff a those price increases, I think it's good AMD is not trying to milk them dry right off the bat. Specially when these are direct replacements of Milan CPUs/SoCs, which were already direct replacements from their predecessors (IIRC). A good value proposition for HPE. Maybe?

Anyway, good on AMD. I just hope they don't go full stupid.

Regards.

Keep in mind that extra 1K is tray pricing, OEM's may get it for significantly less in volume, it still doesnt mean they wont ty to pass that increase off to the consumer though .

No reason to look at AMD's examples, Here's a 3rd-party test suit that is very impressive...almost feel sorry for Intel...almost...

How about MS ripping out most of their pretty new Milan based HBv3 nodes and replacing them with Milan-X instead.

There's a good chance that cache is just the start. SoC parts, maybe more computational chiplets, etc

I know...Unreal...

It will be interesting to see a 7763 vs 7773X comparison. $1000 price premium, multiplied by tens or hundreds, adds up quickly.

 

[hotaru251]

adds up quickly.

yes, but those companies that NEED that many make more $ off of using them to point they dont care.

There is a reason the entire EPYC line sell so well. Yes, they costly, but they are also worth it to the ppl they are aimed at.

time/performance = $.

 

[-Fran-]

Even with that price hike, they're still cheaper than the Intel alternative so...
