    Why are Ryzen 8 core processors more expensive per core than 6 or 12?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:05 PM PST

    I was just comparing prices per core on Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series and I found it very weird, that the midrange processors are the most expensive while traditionally the top of the lines should be more expensive per unit.

    For example, in Germany the 3600 costs 185€ (31€ per core), the 3600xt 200€ (33€/core) the 3700x costs 280€ (35€ per core) and the 3900x goes for 400€ (33€/core). Why the heck is the midrange model, which normally is the value king in every product, the worst value here?

    It's also wierd that I goes 6-8-12 and not 6-9-12 (probably technical reasons) or 6-10-12.

    Given that most real world workloads aren't massively parrallelizable, once you get over the psychological hurdle of having a core count that is not a potency of 2, it seems to me as if AMD is leaving a massive amount of money on the table by incentivising their customers to save money and go for 6 cores instead of 8. And I assume most people aren't like me and don't even care if the number is a potency of 2, or an even number, or whatever.

    Maybe they speculate that people will buy 12 instead but I doubt that the majority will go up instead of down.

    Given that increasing core count comes from less defective cores in production, it should scale up superlinearily in price. Is this some crazy marketing move? Are they throwing darts to determine prices? What is going on here?

    Edit: Thanks for all the great responses, I learned a lot!

    Affinity Photo test (by dev): M1 vs 2019 27" iMac (6 core 3.7GHz + desktop 580X)

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:57 AM PST

    M1 Device

    2019 iMac

    M1 Vs iMac

    • Vector (single CPU): 504 Vs 310
    • Vector (multi CPU): 2032 Vs 1515
    • Raster (multi CPU): 538 Vs 393
    • Combined (single CPU): 532 Vs 407

    Extremely strong CPU performance with big improvements over the iMac. Available on 999$ fanless laptop (insanity), a Macbook Pro and/or 599$ Mac Mini.

    • Raster (single GPU): 6966 vs 8133 (iMac wins)
    • Combined (single GPU): 7907 vs 5568 (M1 wins)

    M1 demolishes in combined due to unified memory, despite lower rasterization performance.

    Conclusion: It's as if every known rule and principle can't be applied anymore. A fanless 999$ Air will have this power, even if it can't sustain it for long. Remember that no one complains that iPad Pros get uncomfortably hot and the performance does not seem to drop much. The Air is bigger, can dissipate heat better. Silent. Jesus.

    Bonus: On Apple's developer website, you can see Baldur's Gate 3 running natively on ARM (M1 equipped device) on 1080p ultra settings after 06:48. Supported GPU features include raytracing.

    I just can't wait to see what they put on the "professional" 13" MBP (the 28W intel part with 4 thunderbolt ports) and the 16", not to mention desktops. But this is insane.

    Think about it this way:

    Gigantic upgrades. One way of putting it is that Apple took the 10th gen 8core i9 laptop performance + half (or more) of 5600m GPU (4000$ config), dropped 1/3rd of the weight, made it considerably smaller, doubled the battery life, made it completely silent, and is now selling all of that as the 999$ Macbook Air. Just think about it for a bit. And this is ignoring what probably will be the most important half of the SoC (NPU, big amount of accelerators for everything, etc.), after ignoring the CPU+GPU.

    Why is there an inverse relationship between architecture width and clock speed?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:34 PM PST

    I have heard a lot recently about narrower cores being able to clock higher than wider cores, but why is that? Are wider cores not able to clock as high, or do they just require more power than narrower cores, and therefor are not viable?

    Next board power-only GPU?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:54 PM PST

    I'm wondering if anyone knows when the next GPU that only needs board power would be released? That is, a GPU that doesn't have any additional 6- or 8-pin adapters required. Currently, the GTX 1650 is the best one.

    Many thanks!
