FEATURED AMD ZEN Discussion (Previous Rumor Thread)

[mackerel]

As I said already, each person needs to look at what their needs are and buy accordingly. There is no one solution to rule them all. I'm not short of a few systems as shown in my always out of date sig, and I'm not afraid to buy stuff to try it and figure out if it works for me. I probably should have stopped with one Ryzen system but I had spare parts left over... Can't resist putting together systems. If only I had a way to run them all without cooking my pets. GPUs are another argument...

Have you seen AMD's Project 47? I think you'll like that if you are into GPU rendering Beware there's a lot of bad comparisons with supercomputers though, as they're ranked for FP64 performance, and Project 47 is optimised for FP32.

No, I haven't seen it. In general I dislike GPU rendering due to generally lower quality output, but there are instances where it can be acceptable. I'll take a look at it, thanks.

Ryzen Linux compiler segmentation fault bug corrected in week 25 or later CPUs. AMD will replace pre-week 25 Ryzens via RMA.
