Oh god. No wonder goldfries in another thread dissing AMD.

I read about AMD and I feel good. Maybe in marketing only

I m content with A8-7600 HTPC build. APU for gaming still a long way to go. unless AMD come up with super advance memory controller, it might defeat core I5..

that one not dissing la, that one fact.

I've been using AMD since first generation, I have all of them till this day.

The technology is superb but it's going to take time, HSA foundation is there but whether software actually uses it will actually take time.

Last year AMD sent me to Singapore to Live Blog their event. You can see the presentation there.

http://www.goldfries.com/tech-news/amd-future-compute-day-1/

What you must realize is that the event is called FUTURE OF COMPUTE.

FUTURE - that's where AMD is heading and it needs time.

The idea of GCN where CPU is able to use the brute force of GPU is interesting, I would very much like to be able to use my 2048 Stream processors on my work.

I think their direction is brilliant, it's just a matter of time and money. If they pull through then it'll be awesome, different way to get computing done.

Most games do work with Hybrid Crossfire BUT BUT BUT Hybrid Crossfire is no where near as fast as a dedicated graphics card.

For example, an FX-4300 processor (RM 399) and R7 250 (RM 289) total cost is less than RM 800, costs far less than A10-7850K crossfire with R7 240 DDR3.

Again, I think the APU has potential. It's niche and it will be great once the technology gets into momentum.

Here's the FX APU performance

HTPC? I just build mine with A68N-5000 mobo that include a A4-5000 CPU. I'm also very happy. No stutter etc. Some more I can use Bio Remote 2 from my phone as remote control. Unfortunely it has no CEC.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. I think A10 APU is awesome based on spec sheet.

Sometimes,the spec sheet lies.

eh APU is the Future... with smaller Die shrink lithographic node (imagine on 14NM or smaller) able to fit R9 290x with 8 core cpu... hmm and HSA support by software/program OR OS.. future would be bright, but at moment i only know OpenOffice support HSA. but they do got alot founder e.g. AMD, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung and HSA Contributor is Ubuntu,Oracle (the billion dollar company with Immortal Founder Larry Ellison70 year old look 40??) and 20 more...

-maybe now AMD APU.. is not much performance but first plane lookalike F22? breakind sound barrier in speed? no.. hehe

there is no HSA accelerated game available.. AMD hyped too well, no wonder u got disappointed.

*offtopic*
FYI,here's the thread.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3333333&hl=

too bad carrizo apu only for mobile market.

Well, pretty nice thread number though.

Anyway, it seems like we won't be able to see AMD's next desktop CPU this year....

It's still the first month of 2015.. Anything can happen. But if not CPU,APU?

Just like intel producing haswell refresh, AMD is refreshing their Kaveri too...
broadwell K might release after q3 2015.

That video earlier was taken at Computex 2014, special session with AMD.

Still waiting for that processor to be in the market la. Imagine just APU and it does the job, need not one processor and add another integrated GPU.

wonder what they planing it for... GPU.. APU or new FX cpu... hmm

Yes, we do have a sense of humour.

And yes, 4GB means 4GB.

You guys are really trolling nVidia and their fanboys!

Nothing wrong with having a bit of fun. They might even make a come back!

Anyway, here's a question to everyone which we think have probably read about the upcoming GPUS

What are your thoughts?

For example, any expectations? Are you looking forward to them?

just hurry up... if not Hybrid cooling i buy 2 of them..

See la now I end up sparing my $$$$ to see what you have in store.

Just hoping the price to be reasonable, I don't mind the power consumption because it'll be useful for my PSU stress test.

Maybe I should just get a used R9 295X2.
