    What led to AMD's recent ability to compete in the processor space, via Ryzen?

    AMD vs. Intel fan kid arguments aside, Ryzen is worlds better than Bulldozer and has been quite competitive against Intel's offerings. What led to Ryzen? What voodoo chemistry made it what it is, at the price point it sells at?

    Bios resetting to older version

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 10:41 PM PST

    I have a strange problem.

    Ive got a Gigabyte Aurus x299 gaming pro 3 mainboard.

    Ive updated the bios to the latest F5d version from the previous F3 bios.

    The update completed and ths new bios was installed. A few days later, upon restarting my PC i was met with a message that stated the bios has been reset to default, naturally i assumed the cmos battery might just be dead so i went into the bios and reconfigured all my settings again. Thats when i noticed that my bios was back on the older F3 version somehow.

    Ive double checked, this board has no dual bios.

    Restarted the pc. Booted into windows, restarted again back into the bios, bios was on the new F5d version again.

    It happens every once in a while. I have never encountered this problem before

    How does a northbridge work?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 04:46 AM PST

    Posted this in r/computerscience but they couldn't answer it, I'm looking for a a description of how the North bridge works, I understand most functions have been moved to the CPU but let's say back when a x86 CPU was just that, it's only direct connection is to the FSB where the northbridge handles the rest. How does the northbridge actually handle taking an address and act as an interface between the components. I couldn't really care on the electronic circuit level, more like what the Von Neumann architecture is to the CPU, i.e. the North bridge takes an address and then what? What happens after that? Etc. This is really my only blind spot where it comes to the architecture of a typical desktop PC, so if someone could clear it up it would really set me straight.

    A look inside the factory around which the modern world turns

    Do you think AMD has a chance to finally compete in the GPU space in the next years ?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 11:15 PM PST

    • The new funding from the massive success that was Zen may have impacted Navi partially at a later stage in its development, but probably didn't come early enough to influence it's early stages. Could RDNA 2 be more well funded ?

    • RDNA 2 supposedly focusing on efficiency improvements might be an interesting thing to look out for since AMD's strategy for past high-end GPUs was pretty much stuffing as many ALUs as possible into a die. That could maybe be compared to Bulldozer and it's very high clocks compensating for the shitty cores making the chip extremely power hungry.

    I'm interested in hearing your opinions. What are your thoughts on those points ? Feel free to bring up other things as well !
