    Can we discuss a bit more about Smart Memory Access?

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    There is so much to ask and talk about with this feature's announcement... And I would very much have the input knowledgeable people.

    A few questions I have:

    Will it eventually be available to older gpus? Especially looking at Vega and Radeon VII and they're HBM2... Would that even be possible if AMD were to allow it?

    Will its gains be completely negligible in 1080p? What about 1080p but with insane texture mods?

    Will it maybe help more with frame times rather than frames per second? I would very much like that.

    Will it be hampered by PCIe riser cables?

    Is it tied to PCIe 4.0?

    Bonus: Could AMD be challenged with some anti-trust, monopoly or abusive position in any meaningful jurisdiction?

    Fresh new (confirmed!) details on Intel’s 11th Gen Desktop Processor (Rocket Lake-S) Architecture

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 07:19 AM PDT

    TL;DR at the bottom if you are in a hurry

    Thanks for going above-and-beyond Skylake. Enjoy your well-earned retirement!

    Rocket Lake it's here (well Q1, 2021) and it comes with a whole new desktop architecture called Cypress Cove. It is on our fine-tuned 14nm technology, so be excited for the clock speeds!

    The new Cypress Cove architecture is an adaptation of the Ice Lake Sunny Cove Core and the new enhanced Intel UHD graphics featuring Intel Xe architecture (from Tiger Lake). The CPU & iGPU are not *literally* fused, just think of it more of grabbing a Lego block from here and another block from over there and put them together (easier said than done).

    The top of the stack processor will come with 8 cores / 16 threads. "What?! 8 Cores?" Yes, we're going octa-core by design this time around and focusing on IPC improvements and having an optimal balance of frequency, cores and threads. We know that core count is one commonly used measure of broader computing experience, but we also know that most applications scale with frequency and that's why we focus on it and IPC.

    Rocket Lake will enable double-digit percentage IPC performance improvement gen-over-gen on desktop (It's ok, we understand if you would like to wait for 3rd party numbers). This also means that the processor will deliver enhanced Intel® UHD™ graphics featuring the Intel® Xe Graphics architecture.

    Another new feature that comes on the Rocket Lake platform is having 20 CPU PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes (4 more lanes than current products, with more bandwidth) - you might have seen already that there is support on for PCI-e 4 on some Z490 motherboards. Intel® Quick Sync Video is also in there offering better video transcoding and hardware acceleration for latest codecs and the best part is that it is not disabled when you add a discrete graphics card to the platform. On the overclocking front there are quite a few new cool features and knobs coming but that's the secret sauce so stay tuned for those details. (We can't give it all away here today.)

    Thus, we say farewell to close friend (architecture) who has been with us for the better of 6 years and we say hello to something completely new and promising!

    Here is a link to the news room:

    https://newsroom.intel.com/news/intels-11th-gen-processor-rocket-lake-s-architecture-detailed/#gs.jykffq

    TL;DR / Summary:

    • Rocket Lake has a new Cypress Cove architecture featuring Ice Lake Core architecture and Tiger Lake Graphics architecture.
    • Up to 8 Cores / 16 Threads
    • Double-digit percentage IPC performance improvement.
    • Up to 20 CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes for more bandwidth and configuration flexibility.
    • Enhanced Intel UHD graphics featuring Intel Xe Graphics architecture
    • Intel® Quick Sync Video, offering better video transcoding and hardware acceleration for latest codecs.
    • New overclocking features for more flexible tuning performance (can't give out the secret sauce just on which features just yet).
    • Intel® Deep Learning Boost and VNNI support​.

    I wonder if RDNA2 APUs will get Infinity Cache

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:37 AM PDT

    If the 5900xt is able to even be in the ballpark of a 3090 which is kept fed using 936gb/s of ram bandwidth, all while using whats probably around half that for actual ram bandwidth, any APUs that use a similar design would likely see considerable benefit due to being primarily bandwidth constrained.

    Edit: Not the full 128mb of infinity cache. The 5900xt is 128mb for 80CU. Vega igpus are ~10CU, so 16+mb of cache might be enough to have the desired effect for a 10CU RDNA2 APU.

    Why are there no 4K monitors between 32" and 40"?

    Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:45 AM PDT

    As the title says, there are none. And by 4K I mean of course 3.840X2.160.

    In my experience, 4K on 32" is too high, and in Windows I have use upscaling, or everything is too small, thus losing my 4K advantage.

    2K on 27", which I think is optimal, has a PPI of 109
    4K on 32" has a PPI of 144m, which is way too much to use it in Windwos without scaling.

    So 36" or 38" would be far better, without being too big of a screen.
    But there is no such monitor on the market, only ultra wide gaming monitors, which iI do not want.

    Why is that?
