Computex 2021, AMD | Nvidia

Seems like everyone is asleep I guess.

AMD FSR:


Great options on FSR there. Just let people choose what they want.
Backports back to 500 series and Vega. Also works on 1060. Sweet my 1070 can live on.

I guess technically it may be possible for X1X and 4Pro to adopt as well? Hmm maybe not, polaris is quite old I think wrt RX 500 series.
I like the super smart play here for adoption. With about 6 (edit 4) performance options to choose from that provides a fairly good amount of play space for developers to work with on consoles in selecting the right one.



AMD 3D Stacked Chiplets (Packaging future overview)



oohhh cpuuuuuuu giiive mee. please re-release the Zen3 with the v-cache. I don't want to get a new moboooo



I won't be awake for Nvidia one, I leave that to you gents!

Goodnight!

 

Will give a listen when time frees up.

 

The in car entertainment system for the new Tesla Model S/X is RDNA2 based as well. Explains why it's boasting PS5/XSX like performance, on paper.

 

Previous leaks indicate a Navi 23 GPU with a 128but bus and half the shader engines, so it's not really on par with the new-gen consoles.

 

It has a cute little LLC though.

 

But it has 10 Tflops!

 

Perhaps best to lump into just a single computex thread since there's not really enough here to separate: Nvidia Presentation

3080 TI and 3070 TI Announced


CUDA to ARM devkit:

 

Much more cute and little on N23 than other LLCs tho.

Which in turn makes me more hopeful for N3x, since required size of LLC seems rather dependent on content than on consumers.

 

Thus very cute.

MCP parts will rock absolutely humongous (think hundreds of megs casually) LLCs.
The mainstream ones would still be reasonable.

 

I did a little more noseying and it looks like the 6600M would fit the bill as a Navi 23 part. AMD themselves only list that as 7.8 TFLOPS. Doesn't make much sense in the context of 10 TFLOPS.

Would they use a desktop Navi 23 instead?

 

Or a custom cTDP UP SKU.

 

Pretty sure it's a Navi 23:




The 6600M only enables 28 of the total 32CUs present in the chip. Also, they're claiming it uses an APU.
The 10TFLOPs could be combined power between iGPU and dGPu, and/or higher clocks on the Navi 23 and/or having the full 32CUs enabled in the chip.

 

Could be those. Also January is forever ago in Tesla terms. They could be looking at something else.

 

let’s gooooooo!!!!!

My mobo is ready!

 

Nice. Looks like they will be able to fight Alder Lake in gaming then.

 

Wow nice, Zen3 seems a very potent CPU arch. Also todays news, Samsung will be having RDNA(2?) gpus in their next exynos phone (Galaxy S22).

 

As per AMD press release, it's apparently APU + Discrete GPU. Bolding is mine.

Lol for real. It’s tempting just for the cool factor alone. I might be peddling a lightly used 5950x next year.
