off topic question.

Intel supposedly "cherry picks" it's k processors, does anyone have a clue if AMD does this as well for their high end ?

They do.

Not in a similar style Intel does it but they do pick 83xx and 81xx CPU's.

I've also seen 8170 benchmarks out there but never saw that CPU on the market. I wonder if it was an early 8350 build or just a very very limited CPU.

what line/model ?

Before the PD was announced they actually had a 12 core planned for desktops but for some reason they cancelled it later. I even have some print-outs of the plans, need to find em.

The FX is coming from Opteron series or at least the higher end ones are as far as I'm told.

read below:

Where do you think they had got these Centurions (assuming they're a real deal)? :laugh:

Good point :p

I mean this:

"or us as architects, we have a team dedicated to putting in overclocking features into the designs and tests in place to cherry pick those parts to box and sell as such. So you are getting parts on the good side of the normal when you buy K CPUs."

Well I seriously doubt they hand-pick the K series. That would be A LOT of work, probably have something else in place, silicon check or what ever.

More likely the E-series are already hand picked.

Yeah, but this could also turn into a "they have money for that, whereas AMD doesn't" debacle. This is the type of hype AMD needs to build up, wonder why they haven't had one of their engineers do an AmA

AMD need to stop selling eight-cores processor with low Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) and start selling four-cores processors with high IPC.

Why? With AMD's 8 core Jaguar coming to next gen consoles, we might just start to see games / apps enhance the full potential of more than 4 cores.

Agreed more cores is the future, however, programmers need to get off their asses, heck not all games fully utilize 4 cores yet still :/

I'm surprised to hear of all the hate for AMD - I'm delighted with my FX-6100, its been fantastic. Especially for the cost : capability ratio compared to Intel!!

I was happy with mine at first too, then looked into an i5 3570k and saw the dramatic improvement with video conversion programs such as Handbrake. So, as much as I love AMD (using AMD graphics card), I am now using an Intel system.

The only reason I bought a 2600K was because I got it at Microcenter for $200, I would of been stupid to go for the 8150 in such circumstances.

Hahaha, the intel guys here that replied as if their pride have been hurt are... just pitiful, but whatever, to me it seems that somebody has won the price to performance ratio already, and that's the red team, AMD.

Have you not seen all the hate Windows 8 is getting here?

I personally purchase what is best value for money / performance at time, brand loyalty is pointless when it comes to components.

Yeah truth hurts i guess, it still doesn't change facts that these same allegations were being said against intel in the p4 days.

Neowin is not showing anything. That is the likes of you with a petty urge to divide people into warring camps - by throwing around such generic complaints again and again and again. Discuss the matter at hand, if only for naught in the end - withholding such accusatory statements would do an immense amount of good for Neowin on its own.

As for the "Intel tax" - we have been paying that since the beginning of time (and ever so more since the first Cores). Even fanbois acknowledge that. Electricity bills are being left out of pricing equations lately, but what the hell...

No sane person wants for AMD to go down under! I'm insane and even I don't want that! However, AMD is not making it easy to believe in them. They're operating at heavy loss - for how long a public company can keep doing this before shareholders call quits and burn the house down? Their "aggressive pricing" is the reason of this loss, and Intel doesn't care of that pricing in the slightest. Quite an opposite - Intel raises them all the time. And next gen consoles aren't going to save AMD on their own, for the first rule of volume orders is volume pricing.

People will always pay any amount of top dollar for top performance, unless 3rd World War starts or something. So this Centurion, if true at all, is a stunt, a badly needed one at that, but they still need to "get their ass into gear", soon and with something really big, instead of slightly improving upon things. Something that turns everyone's heads, instead of the already done to death price/performance ratio that only attracts those that care about that sort of thing in the first place, and little gains here and there which are known mainly by those who follow the "horselord" of TekSyndicate and not the Average Joe, who thinks that Intel = computers as a whole.

A few ideas to keep this rolling - how about:

- cuting a deal with, say, Cooler Master, to bundle cheap, stylish, but more than decent cooler instead of the "jetliner" (and Asetek, once more... unless, idk, their last attempt with Bulldozer LC bundle didn't do very well?)

- stopping to produce those completely useless shiny metal boxes - I throw all of them straight in the bin, anyway. They've got a hole, can't even store coffee in them.

- persuading Global-"finfets suck"-Foundries to change their stance and uptake ~20nm process posthaste or design and place their next orders somewhere else

No, they need to get their ass in gear. Intel pretty much wipes the floor with anything they have to offer, yeah yeah amd is "cheaper" yeah... 125w TDP for most of their processors against intels 75... add that to your electricity bill and then we can talk cheap.

I did mention electricity bill :angry: :p

It is what is, I agree, people just throw in random comments, i'm not a fanboy for neither blue nor green, i'm a fanboi for the best technology available and at the moment, intel's offering surpasses AMD in watts consumed and heat dissipation, obviously this isn't an "average joe" point of view, it is a valid one. I hate people nag nag nag about price/ratio and as you point out, compare that to how much your electricity bill adds up, not to mention the whole efficiency of the system goes down, because more fans are needed to have more air inside to cool those extra degrees because in fact it runs hotter.

Anywho, leaving technical details apart, the fact is, AMD is losing money, the only way they're going to get back in the game is if they go out on a limb, spend extra on RnD or whatever, but get ahead of intel! APUs is a good start, but not good enough, because like pointed above, the more money AMD loses the more shareholders it loses, etc.

I dunno, honestly bulldozer and piledriver have been nothing but excuses "oh windows 7 isn't optimized for multiple cores" "oh run linux in a work related atmosphere running 1000 applications at once to see the benefit", then lets not mention how their infamous "jetliners" are utter crap compared to what intel boxes with their cheapest processors and guess why Intels current lineup runs cool. Again, this isn't BIAS, these are facts, 8350 -- 125w 3770k 77w

Oh and price/performance?

http://www.citytrf.n..._calculator.htm have a go at it: average cost a year (based on average cost 8.7 per watt), on a pc on 24 hours a day =

intel 3770k $58.68

AMD 8350 $95.26

aprox $36 per year, mind you, this is considering average price per watt, the higher the price of electricity, the higher the difference. I would rather spend those $40 and get better memory and/or harddrive... now... considering I did the same when I bought my q6600 g0 ( 95w vs 125w b3 stepping) and i've had it running since 2007 (7 years) thats $36x7 = $252 ... ( In my case anyway)...

But anyway, who says facts are useful ? Current lineup, go intel! and AMD gooo spend on RnD, sell your kidneys but do it!

*costs exaggerated for example to be clear.

I'm not talking out of my ass, i'm talking design wise, IMO 125w is unacceptable these days, it's just too much, that's what my 7 year old q6600 uses.

You and me, we've had this discussion on the linux benchmarks before ;)

I'm green dude, I would love AMD to kick ass :( like in the thoroughbred days :(, but its just no happening for another 2-3 years because of AMDs RnD budget as you pointed out.

Q6600 uses 65w?

The problem is AMD are doing that by selling processors at a loss just to stay in the market, it's not a sustainable way of doing business.

    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging.

The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
