Hardware support: Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 690: 5G & A77 In The Mid-Range

Is there any chance we'll ever see another dual gpu flagship graphics card ? We haven't seen one since the fiji Radeon Pro Duo back in 2016, which I know wasn't that long ago but in the gpu world that was ages ago !

I know AMD has always had a thing for dual Gpu cards. They did recently sort of launch such a thing for the Mac thought it was Mac exclusive. Could they launch a dual gpu Big Navi ?

What about the rumoured Nvidia 3090 ? Is that just a renamed x80 ti series card or is that a successor to the old 690 ?

What about Intel's new discrete GPUs ? Any chance they could launch a dual gpu card ?

What about custom makers like Asus (Ares and Mars ?) or Powercolor (Devil 13?) ?

Forgotten processors and likely fake space heaters

Broadwell on mainstream desktop: i5-5675c and i7-5775c

Intel has been on the 14nm lithography for a while, since Skylake, which was released in 2015, but this isn't the first 14nm cpu from intel, let me introduce you the i5-5675c and the i7-5775c, these were Broadwell processors built on the 14nm lithography, they came some monthes before skylake and still used the LGA1150 socket.

The interesting part isn't the processor itself but the iGPU, instead of the standard HD 4600 these models used the intel Iris Pro 6200, comparable in speed to the Vega 8 you can find in modern AMD APUs.

The CPU in these things wasn't exceptional and it became obsolete only some months later when skylake was announced.

Intel CPU with AMD GPU: i7-8809G

Speaking of fast iGPUs we have the i7-8809G, this is a mobile processor, built mainly for the intel NUC, a small form factor mini pc.

This CPU is quite interesting since it features and intel CPU and AMD GPU, more precisely the " RX Vega M GH", this thing is was wicked fast for an integrated graphics solution, quite similar in performance to a GTX 1050-ti.

I say this is a forgotten CPU mainly because it falls in that no man's land where it's neither supported by Intel nor by AMD.

The CPU part isn't too shabby either, it is in fact very similar to the desktop i7-7700k, they are both Kaby Lake after all, now this thing isn't that amazing, the i3-10100 and the R3-3300x are faster but at the time it was the best intel offered for mainstream desktop.

Unrealistic Leaks: Xeon W-3375X and i9-10990XE

Intel too is jumping on the multi core wagon, but still on 14nm, and here we have these two power hungry demons, the first is the Xeon W-3375X, apparently a 56 core 5.1 GHz monster with a TDP on 655W, apparently this thing has 2 Dies, but it differs from AMD in which there is no central i/o die, they just wacked two 3275s on one substrate, like with the Pentium D (which was 2x pentium 4 on one cpu), this is very likely fake but I could believe intel doing this kind of thing (i9-10900K), when a CPU manufacturer doesn't know how to/can't innovate they always crank the clock speed dial, AMD did this with the FX-9590.

The other less fake leak is the i9-10990XE.

Do you remember the i9-9990XE, the only processor to have four nines in the name? well, this is it's spiritual successor.

With a TDP of 380W this thing uses more power than my entire pc, but it is fast, according to the leaks, it has 22 cores and a 5 GHz boost frequency, still on LGA2066 though.

Estimated production cost for PS5 and XboxSX?

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 04:21 AM PDT

What are the best cost estimates for producing the first X million of the next gen consoles? From a hardware perspective the actual console price is less interesting since that number is fudged depending on if Sony/MS sells at a loss or a profit which has to do with software sales and not the hardware.

Are there any soild numbers for the production cost for the current gen? Could be interesting values to compare with.

Does B550 make X570 ITX boards pointless?

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 08:01 AM PDT

With most X570 boards only having 1 16x and 4x slot and B550 providing those at full Gen4 speeds, are x570 pointless now?
