Is this for AMD GPU or just the CPU?
I think the GPU already has a thread called AMD Radeon. hmm.gif
Anyway, my next plan is the Asrock E350M1/USB3, needs better power saving and cheaper solution from AMD for my next PC NAS plan.

DDR4? Next year baru release, too expensive for early adopters. sweat.gif
USB3.1, same as DDR4, well, I only needs cheapest board with at least 4X SATA, and m-ITX size.
Can't find anyone that can import without costing a bomb, probably will just save up and order from WM myself, sometimes living in EM is a pain. doh.gif

yea, cant agree more, now ddr4 compatible board only x99 and both x99 + ddr4 already 2k+, not to mention the CPU that can use ddr4 also another 1k minimum...
damn... pain.... doh.gif doh.gif

and usb3.1 still nowhere to be found till next year.... hopefully everything will be released latest second Q of 2015.... sad.gif

We are aware of the existing thread, that's for user discussion of Radeon stuff.

This thread is for all AMD products, not just RADEON but also the CPU / APU, SSD and whatever else under that's available in Malaysia.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I rather not upgrade unless the new driver does improve something.

If it's available for notebook, who knows it might come to desktop! biggrin.gif

After all we need more low power consumption processor from AMD side.

Even now the A10-7850K isn't that great when it comes to playing games like BF4, what if one day the A10-8850K comes with FX technology with IGP like R7 260 and power consumption at 60w?

It's a dream but yeah I really hope this dream comes true.

Donno when's their 3xx series coming.

The recent R9 285 looks good though, TDP dropped while performance seems more efficient.

AMD has recently announced new prices for its A-Series APU. When can we expected this new price to be reflected here?

If AMD malaysia bring in this item... It should be approx 370RM. vmad.gif

newegg selling this item for 98USD.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819113371

or you should wait for the new "kaveri refresh" APU - A6-7400k.
I doubt that they will bring this item.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819113371

or you should wait for the new "kaveri refresh" APU - A6-7400k.
I doubt that they will bring this item.

Hope Lisa Su manage AMD well. sad.gif

I highly doubt it... sad.gif

Unless AMD could return to their price/performance prowess with their Zen CPUs in 2016, going with AM3+/APU would be a waste...

Heck, APUs are not exactly favorable in terms of price/performance since their CPU performance are not exactly powerful, and if you add a discrete card to the mix, you'll be wasting the performance of the integrated graphics. icon_idea.gif

The 7400K only has a CPU performance of a low voltage i3, and when it comes to upgrades, the max you could go without switching platforms would be a 7850K, which is only comparable to an i5-760. sweat.gif

The price of APUs are not exactly cheap either. For example, the price of A10-7850K costs about RM700, which is dangerously priced to a Xeon E3. sweat.gif
You'll be paying a lot for integrated graphics, which most gamers won't be using. icon_idea.gif

Though I'd like to see how AMD competes in the GPU segment. tongue.gif

A8-7600 is good. Can XFire with R7 240 drool.gif

I think price per performance per watt usage is quite good.

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. biggrin.gif 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

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 biggrin.gif 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

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.

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.

i think that person would be me, i`ve finally changed my build to i5 and a 7970, i must say i can play high settings with this combo, but what i found out is that this build is not stable (Keeps auto restart and BSOD i suspect must be the PSU), but anyway the minimum requirement for the GPU is 500Watt, and my PSU is 550Watt, so i dont know why is this happening lol

Bro,your PSU in the first rig isn't that good. tongue.gif

For example,Aerocool Strike-X 800W vs Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W.Which one is better?The latter.

Why?Good quality parts inside etc.

some PSU aren't good at handling higher loads.

It's not always about the wattage, more often than not it's about how the components deliver the power.

take for example lower end PSU or lower quality PSU, they may deliver the wattage claimed or may even not reach it at all, some can reach it but not for pro-longed periods.

good PSU from reputable brands go through stringent tests before being able to approve for packaging and such, brands like FSP for example do so at their factory (info from my conversation with them).

As for Aerocool their KCAS models work fine for me but I can't say the same for their Strike-X.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-18047...-tier-list.html

Strike-X 800w falls under Tier 4 - Not for overclocking systems or high end gaming rigs. May not even output labeled power and fail standard ATX specifications slightly. May even use cheap components to meet a price

blink.gif  nah too high up on Price... for gov servant to buy.. by way AMD MY still not respond on "why R9 295X2 price not yet nearly match price that currently been sold on USA/Euro market" still selling RM4.5 -5K+  sad.gif

Pricing is far more complex than just taking the retail price in the USA and convert via currency exchange.

Each brand has their way of how to price their products in the market.

hmm so why is it when price increase seller excuses always on Currency exchange MY and US but when MY currency is Stronger no price lower and even when US selling R9 295X2 at 40% lower price in MY still continued original price ? *Greed seller* ? at moment AMD R9 290 series is at very good price.. than ever before.. as i see MY currency is weaker against US dollar.. yet cause AMD at moment trying to compete with Nvidia.. hmm.gif point is i think AMD in overall can enforce the selling price GPU.. is just strange why it not effect AMD R9 295X2 ? ? not a lot end -user buy so is not worth to lower price in MY market ? or getting 2x R9 290X is much better performance boost/price ? hmm eh

by way Rumor is R9 390X will be shown on GDC 2015 this WEEKday!!

Yup we'll be at GDC http://developer.amd.com/amd-technology-at-gdc/

As for the price, it's easy to think of enforcing but like what we mentioned, many factors involved. Price of components in the market does not fluctuate base on current state in exchange rate.

Intel might not bring in some obscure models.

But A8 7600 is one of the most sought after APU from AMD. Just not making sense not bringing it in.
Unless of course they don't care because their older CPU unable to sell. If A8 7600 is here, all old
APU will not move and need to cut price into half since A8 7600 only retail at RM3xx and achieve almost
the same performance as A10 7850 at half the TDP. drool.gif

Donno whether there's still hope.

Later bring in one batch but no one buy, how?

Furthermore bring in is one thing but that retail side is another story - force retailer to take ah?

And I think AMDmy is just the PR part, in the end business decision still up to the other respective people to decide.

This means - how much would it hurt them to bring in a whole batch in order just to satisfy a few people on LYN?

I bought Intel CPU because AMD can't fight Intel in gaming, before that all my CPU were AMD.

To be honest, although I hope AMD will not sell out to Samsung, I really sincerely hope that AMD will at least JV with Samsung to use Samsung's 14nm FINFETs on AMD's future designs.

In one fell swoop, AMD would be competitive again and they would be challenging the laptop and tablet market for years to come.

got a refurbished 280x dual-x sapphire yesterday.

Certain games run fine but on AAA games, there's flickering and even on chrome (gotta disable hardware acceleration to avoid the black boxes of doom)

Tried cranking voltages by a bit to solve the issue as recommended on9 but doesn't help. Tried the beta drivers as well, doesn't solve it.

got a refurbished 280x dual-x sapphire yesterday.

Certain games run fine but on AAA games, there's flickering and even on chrome (gotta disable hardware acceleration to avoid the black boxes of doom)

Tried cranking voltages by a bit to solve the issue as recommended on9 but doesn't help. Tried the beta drivers as well, doesn't solve it.

Anyone has the same issue and managed to solve it?

The culprit could be the psu. But more importantly hopefully its not the card itself that causing the problem sweat.gif

Don't fiddle with voltage. Stock voltage would always work fine.

Try out software like Unigine Heaven 4.0. Use the settings below.

don't know what solved it but apparently it works fine on stock clocks.

tried bf4 on ultra settings and it runs smoothly with no flickering so far. 2d apps are running fine as well especially chrome.

well it would be gre8 if i don't have to return it since the seller himself is unwilling to refund when i inquired on it.

Processor- AMD X4 FX 4350.
GPU- Sapphire R9 290x TriX.

Hope it will serves me well. Cant wait to finally play GTA V.  rclxm9.gif

If the product isn't stable at stock voltage, please send it in for warranty / replacement.

Artifacts are usually memory chip related, perhaps you have something faulty with you there.

AMD is proud to welcome Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar Games as the newest addition to the Gaming Evolved family to feature AMD’s Contact Hardening Shadows (CHS). This technique dynamically hardens or softens a shadow’s edges depending on the distance of the shadow from the light source and object casting that shadow.

This means softer shadows that diffuse more realistically. To enable CHS in the game, simply select AMD CHS from the ’Soft Shadows’ drop down menu. The game also has a built-in benchmark, which should make it easy to test different hardware configurations.

Download Catalyst 15.4 Beta now!

The card have Dual BIOS, i have zero problem on the 1st BIOS with 1.125v default voltage. The 2nd BIOS/Boost BIOS is the want i'm having trouble with, it come with a voltage lock@1.25v. I don't want to waste my time RMA-ing it for something that is easily fixable.

No problem with the memory chip. There's different kind of artifacts and the one i'm getting was caused by core voltage.

Do take it up to the brand for the said problem.

We can't advise on you on this matter as we are not involved in how the manufacturer designs or makes the card.

While that is indeed very nice, the reality is that Real Life IPCs are dependent on low cache miss rates, extremely good branch prediction and the "cost" of flushing a pipeline in the case of a miss (which scales with the length of that pipeline).

It would be interesting to see SPEC numbers from AMD's next gen and maybe an architecture brief. During the pre Core-uarch days AMD generally ruled the roost with a stubbier pipeline and a ruthlessly efficient cache, but Intel caught up after the shitfest that was Prescott. It'll be nice to see what AMD has planned for next gen.

From my experience in attending AMD events, they are focusing on Mobile segment, particularly the APU and of course the GPU as the GPU is part of their GCN.

I've only crashed 2-4 times,and that is because of the settings or "maybe my keyboard doing something" with it.

Plus my total game time played is over 70 hours. icon_idea.gif

I've had a look at the Carrizo launch slides and it is very interesting.

I really like the idea of the IGPU in the APU itself taking up the graphical load in tandem with an existing graphics card for an extra boost in performance. Very elegant in principle but I suspect that there's a lot of work done in the background and by the drivers to ensure both coherency and scheduling within a graphical load.

AMDmy Do you have a programming/optimization guide for developers available in regards to this new feature?

Also the 10 to 15 percent reduction in leakage current is very good. As a rule of thumb, nearly all power a processor dissipates is via leakage current as FETs are voltage operated devices. Thus not only is the increase in efficiency due to the better branch prediction and prefetch very welcome, but the new proc will run cooler.

I like this new Carrizo. Slap it on a Global Foundries 14nm FINFET process and might be the new go to processor for mobile devices.

The Fury and Nano models are the only interesting ones to look at.

AMD has done a straight rebadge for the mid-range and low-cards with no increase in performance or any price lowering. The only real difference are 4gb models. The msrp is the same when the 2-series got released early last year.
360- 260

It has always been like that. Only the top-tier cards would be something new.

Like HD 7790 to R7 260X, the only difference is R7 260X has TrueAudio and consumes a little more power.

When you introduce a whole new line-up at once, there's bound to be old stuff being renamed.

Nvidia's done that before as well, renamed / rebadged like silly before.

390x alone is cost near to RM2k, which should be rivaling 980 instead.

AMD has done it twice in a row for the new 370 so it is a straight rebadge of a rebadge. My point is that the mid-low end segment is old, either a rebadge or a minor tweak from the 7 series chips, so it is a half or full generation behind Nvidia.

After looking at the released specs the 370 has much lower power requirements - 110W. That is strange considering that its still a pitcairn chip with slightly higher clocks than the original 7850.

Yes, you're on 7950 now, going to 290x / 390x would be quite a jump.

390x should provide better power draw per performance.

I mean't there is other cards with similar price and perform much better.

The 750ti is slower (not much better) than the 370/265 which is similar in price.

this bring back memories. even P4 can make my electricity bill until kena scold by my parents during 2ndary.
the reason being? normal electricity vs Gaming+DL-ing+watch on9 vid = High spike of electricity usage. laugh.gif

and i dont think CPU is the reason for your high spike of electricity bill.
instead i would say your PC usage duration is the contribution to the electricity bill. brows.gif

Not possible UNLESS you are running it FULL load 24/7, even that also you probably raise it by RM 50 or so.

Easy to blame computer's power draw when one doesn't even monitor how it is.

I've not come by many people, other than empire23 and myself, that's capable of (or more like INTENTIONALLY) generating more than 200W per second power draw. smile.gif

You look at most people's usage, they'll probably game.

Gaming for 5 hours? pfftt, that barely loads the CPU and GPU to reach the full power draw of each, to the power draw fluctuates.

To give you an idea, my Core i5-4670K without GPU idles at 40w power draw, on 100% processor load (video encoding) it draws 125w from the wall. Running cards like say the Fury X or Radeon R9 390X on Furmark stress test drains some 360w from the wall. If you add Full CPU load to it it'll probably reach 420w on the wall.

Again that 420w is from extreme circumstances where all items are stressed.

LOL if people think that putting 4 high-end graphic cards and 1200w PSU immediately raises your electricity bill to the roof. It doesn't.

If you see your electricity bill raised - monitor your air cond usage perhaps?

Power usage in my house can be chalked down to a few things. Namely my fridges, storage water heater and aircon.

Mostly computers don't take much up power even while gaming. The heaviest load I've had was actually running ANYSYS 15 FLUENT and MECH using my badly programmed personal pipe mixer benchmark (running all models, on 1024 steps, full parallel), computer topped out at 550-ish watts for an SLI-ed GTX-980 (haven't tested on the TIs) measured via Fluke 43B Power analyzer.

At the highest tariff of 33 sen per kWh. An absurdly specced computer running at 500 watts running for 12 hours a day at full blast will cost 2 ringgit a day. But most gaming computers top out at about 250 watts, so you're looking at 1 ringgit a day realistically.

Correct, your power draw for 2x SLI GTX980 at 550w-ish looks correct (including the processor on load).

Ditto to the estimated monthly cost for the computer too.

My comp runs 24/7. It doesnt really affect my electricity bill Unless

I am doing a lot of stress testing 10-20 hours a day on my overclocks which sometimes takes up nearly 20-25 days.. then the bill will be up by RM100-150.

I need 5 hands to facepalm AMD driver team FRTC on 15.7 is only supported DX10+ titles. Not to mention it is forced only on a global setting. u cant specify which game to use it which not to use it.

So either i enable it play DX10 titles & run Dx9 game on vsync or I off it back to use Radeonpro.

*and here i tot I could finally get rid of using Radeonpro.... but nope......I still need it for DX9 games, because AMD thinks DX9 games are minority market share....

80% of the games & software are still DX9
Seriously what the hell they are thinking for supporting DX10 and above only? It is the lower end DX9 games that need fps cap, not the DX10 ones. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

AMD’s cut down Fiji GPU has proved to be great competition for Nvidia’s GTX 980 and even knocks on the door of the more expensive GTX 980 Ti in some tests. Even with fewer texture units and shader cores the Radeon R9 Fury performs very close to as good as the full blown Fury X does. Sapphire has done an excellent job creating a robust cooling solution to keep this power hungry beast cool, while maintaining reasonably quite fan noise. The coil whine issue appears to be isolated to our sample, so judgement on that topic has been reserved until such time as we may test another copy.

I think u guys should post about graphics card in the Radeon forum:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3618815/+680

... so that this thread is more about processor.

Any R9 280x users here?

Been having some weird issues this past few days and i hope it isn't the display card but can't help feel that it is.

Monitor randomly goes black but I can still hear the background noise and my fans are all still running but no display.

Only happens when I'm playing league of legends but that is the only game i make time for so i guess whenever anything extensive is happening unsure.gif?

So this happened a few days back but a quick reboot solved it and again the following day. But today the problem has already persisted thrice in a space of an hr when i tried playing league and i noticed whenever display goes black, instantly all my fans are running on full load. And a quick reboot doesn't solve it. Gotta plug out the power plug and wait a full minute or so before I'm able to turn on my rig.

I've read on other forums that amd cards tend to have a problem like this. So does anyone actually know how do i solve it or is a RMA necessary?

this threads is AMD Malaysia official Threads like the topic stated, just because you think this should be Just processor.. threads "is like you telling AMD to stop making GPU just CPU/APU.. and want Gpu go buy Nvidia."

hmm.gif so you did google on problem, but you did not find solution ?

1) check power managemet system see if there any power setting say turn off lcd certain period.

2) What your current driver while black screen happen ? have you download install a lates AMD driver? please use Display Driver Uninstaller follow recommended setting do it in safe mode.

3)check Display connection used different see if there different..

4) check Temp gpu core/vram have you done any OC ? maybe is on high clock and play lol too long on high gpu core.. ? (but pls do option 2 first)

This thread is more for news and enquiry towards AMD.

Another thread is based on Radeon.

I dont see the reason didn't allow both threads to co-exist.

Hello,

The other thread is primarily RADEON and more of a user discussion, we welcome such discussions on this thread too.

However this thread is about AMD in general

1. CPU
2. APU
3. GPU
4. Mobile CPU
5. Mobile APU
6. Mobile GPU

Not forgetting our other products like SSD and whatever else AMD under the sun.

AMD just taped out their first FinFet chips recently and that is most likely for their Zen lineup. There's no information on which process node though, 16nm/14nm.

QUOTE
“We have actually just taped-out our first couple of FinFET designs,” said Lisa Su, chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices, during the company’s earnings conference call with investors and financial analysts.
Ms. Su did not elaborate which of the future designs the company had taped out and when exactly this happened. Nonetheless, two tape-outs mean that the company has managed to successfully design its first products with FinFET transistors. Design of an advanced microprocessor that will be made using a FinFET process technology costs north from $150 million without the cost of photomasks needed for production. Therefore, the tape-out means that the vast majority of investments in these two chips have been made.

IMHO the best upgrade for you is an Intel build - A Xeon E3 with a H97 chipset will be a much more sizable upgrade over most AMD setups. icon_idea.gif

bro, just wanna say if you are planning to upgrade your fx8350 to 4770k/4790k, the performance jump is just not worth it.. wait for newer processor from both camp. trust me ive been through it and in gaming, i dont really feel the upgrade.. just 5-10fps more in heavy cpu games..

The Fury X is one awesome card.

Performance wise it is not as the 980Ti, the consistency is not there BUT what you get is a piece of card that's different from the rest.

It's a small box that sits on the PCI-E socket, linked via tubes to a radiator unit.

DO NOT use this on small casings. biggrin.gif

The model from PowerColor is retailing at RM 2699 quite alright for the performance you get. The card is cooling so (inb4 people say VRM scan not properly cooled) the internals of you casing doesn't get heat up.

boss a quick question to the otai guru, im building a a10 7850k system im not adding a discrete gpu i just want to utilize the APU only for light gaming. I saw that AMD APU scales differently on RAM speed preferably @ 2133MHZ. Seems many recommend to use ram with AMD's AMP profile to get most out of the APU performance. Here comes the question can i use XMP profiles on AMD APU? Or is it specifically depends on mother board. AMD AMP ram modules are not easily available or im just looking at wrong places to buy. Im a noob at setting up ram rclxub.gif , prefer just select the profile and im good to go.

I checked Asus Website on asus a88x-plus mobo it says supports AMD AMP profiles and nothing mentioned about XPM profiles https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A88XPLUS/specifications/

On Asrock website is another thing it seems it supports XMP and AMD AMP profiles http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20FM...=Specifications


Im afraid i will buy the wrong ram and screw up my APU performance sweat.gif

I donno what's this AMP stuff (first time hearing) but I'm set XMP profile on my ASUS A88X-Pro so yeah, I think it'll work just fine with XMP.

I have a question. I am looking to get a custom PC soon. I initially intended to get a R9 380 4gb and included that in my spec sheet.

But the shop I plan to buy from suggested me to get a nvidia card (gtx 960), on the reason that amd's market share is dropping in Malaysia and this causes a shortaage in stock and also quality. IT seems more RMA are being done for AMD cards.

Is the above statement somewhat true ? Just asking for an opinion.

So they want to kill AMD market in Malaysia? Why does it affect quality as well? Which shop btw? laugh.gif
Yes, more RMA is being done for AMD cards in past years but mostly because of poor OEM quality control like ASUS VRAM issue on their 280/280x, PowerColor BIOS issue on 290/290x, MSI leaking fan issue.

Which R9-380 you planning to get and how much?

Just for argument sake, asus makes nvidia as well, do they suffer from simillar OEM QC issues ? I am rather new to this and just want to get your point of view.

I was thinking of getting a sapphire R9 380 4gb, around RM 900+.

Just for argument sake, asus makes nvidia as well, do they suffer from simillar OEM QC issues ? I am rather new to this and just want to get your point of view.

I was thinking of getting a sapphire R9 380 4gb, around RM 900+.

Not so much because Nvidia have tighter quality control with their Green Light program which requires board partner to validate their board design with Nvidia before finalizing the product.

Sapphire is great, they are one of AMD's best board partner if not the best and their track record is good too.

Yes.
Powercolor R9-390 is only RM300+ more , if you can grab that it will be much much better imo.

for RM300 more, yeah around RM1300+.

Anyway i saw Lingloong listed Sapphire R9-290 for around RM1200+, not sure if trolling or clearing up old stock so you better ask PM him yourself since this is a really good deal especially the Vapor-X.

R9 380 is price of a GTX 960 but faster.

Aim for the R9 380 4GB though, 2GB loses out a little when the game uses more VRAM.

Exactly why I intially decided on the R9 380 over the gtx 960.

BTW, have you had a good experience with AMD cards ? Just asking because I was suggested a nvidia card as the market share of AMD has dropped causing low stock availability and also low quality control. Apparently more AMD cards are being sent in for RMA.

Any thoughts on that ?

Yes we have problematic batches from time to time but they do get fixed, like the Fury X pump issue - go them fixed really fast.

Lol, even if it is ranked below Fury Vanilla, it is still on a whole different level than 380.

It's like I can't afford a Ferrari, better get a proton. No offence in anyway. You should take a look at cards from GTX 970 to R9 390X since your budget is sub 2k.

There's some more valuable and price optimised options in between, particularly R9 390.

Hi all sifu,

I have some question about graphic setup to pursuit further.
I'd have A10 7850k proc, currently using onboard R7 gpu.

Would it better if I'm getting :

1) Sapphire R7 250x 2G-D5 crossfire with R7 onboard?
OR
2) PowerColor R9 270 2G-D5 discrete gpu setup?

Actually i'm more concerned about PSU requirement. Don't want to change PSU just for the sake of newer GPU. Since i'm using FSP Hexa+ 550 there's not a lot of headroom for power hungry card. Beside I don't think mine has 2x 8-pin connector.

Jim Keller left AMD. sad.gif Kinda abrupt.

QUOTE
Jim Keller, former Chief Architect of Microprocessor Cores, will leave the company today to pursue other opportunities.

Well known for his work during AMD's heyday, Keller (pictured) was involved in the creation of the original Athlon architecture, K7, and then served as a lead architect on K8. After playing an instrumental role in developing the world's first native x86-64 bit architecture, Keller later joined Apple and helped develop the company's A4 and A5 SoCs before rejoining AMD in 2012 to spearhead the firm's upcoming Zen architecture.

Speaking to HEXUS, an AMD spokesperson has stated that "Jim was responsible for overseeing the teams defining the roadmaps for AMD’s CPU cores, systems IP, and server and client SoCs. "

Attempting to allay any fears over the impact of Keller's departure, the company adds that "Jim helped establish a strong leadership team that is well positioned for success as we enter the completion phase of the “Zen” core and associated system IP and SoCs."

"Jim’s departure is not expected to impact our public product or technology roadmaps, and we remain on track for “Zen” sampling in 2016 with first full year of revenue in 2017."

Looking ahead, Mark Papermaster, AMD's Chief Technology Officer, will step in as acting leader for Keller's team and will now help oversee one of the most important products in the company's history.

The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is definitely an impressive achievement and we love that AMD is at least trying to create something different. The scale is tiny and the performance great, but the price seems utterly prohibitive seeing as it's not really delivering something you can't get elsewhere, unless you're specifically talking in actual dimensions.

AMD Reveals New AMD Pro Lineup: Carrizo, ARM TrustZone Onboard

user posted image

AMD's commercial product catalog just got a whole lot more powerful with the latest 6th generation AMD Pro Carrizo-based mobile processors. AMD said it improved raw performance from previous generations by 31 percent for graphics and 18 percent for multi-threaded performance, as well as a 19 percent boost in compute performance. In addition, AMD claimed it improved performance per watt in its latest generation APUs by 66 percent for graphics and 50 percent for multi-threaded tasks and compute performance.

These performance and efficiency gains aren't the only noticeable differences in the new AMD Pro lineup. These chips were purpose-built with security in mind and contain the all-new AMD Secure Processor, a dedicated coprocessor that leverages the open-standard ARM Trustzone, which provides a safe execution environment that is completely segregated from the rest of the silicon, with its own memory, buses, TEE and TPM. AMD plans to implement ARM TrustZone coprocessors in all future AMD Pro products.

The HBM memory format is still in its infancy stage of the distribution and development cycle, and with AMD’s overclocking restrictions to it, the card – along with the Fury X and Fury – will not appeal to many, even with a price that’s below the RM3,000 mark. That being said, it does offer some amazing performance, as proven from our real-world tests.

Finally, with the launch of the R9 Fury X behind us, it’s time to turn our gaze towards the future, the very near future. The R9 Fury X’s younger sibling, the R9 Fury, launches in 2 weeks. Though certainly slower by virtue of its cut-down Fiji GPU, it is also $100 cheaper, and is a more traditional air-cooled card design as well. With NVIDIA still selling the 4GB GTX 980 for $500, the playing field is going to be much different below the R9 Fury X, so I am curious to see just how things shape up on the 14th.

Multi-threaded command buffer recording opens up a wide communication lane between your AMD processor or APU and your AMD Radeon™ GPU – so more than one CPU core can talk to the GPU at a time.
With DirectX® 11, most of the graphics work was loaded onto one core.

user posted image

Much like going from a two-lane country road to an eight-lane superhighway, multi-threaded command buffer recording in DirectX ​​12 spreads work across cores and lets more traffic from a processor reach the graphics card in a shorter amount of time.

Hi, I'm having an issue with my card recently where the PC will crash randomly during games with a red screen crash , then reboot also red screen. Sometimes the next reboot will solve itself. Using Sapphire 7970 Vapor X GHZ 6GB.

If like one month , it will happen once or twice when you are not looking for it. I've tried 3dMark / Heaven/ Valley for 10++ hours no issue. Then sometimes play even low intensive game like DOTA 2 or CSGO the red screen crash occurred.

Tried with 2 different PC also random occurrence , both PSU 700W++ 80+ ratings, Temps all around 70c.

I wonder if Sapphire will do a RMA for me as it is hard to replicate it. Attached is a screenshot of my issue. Thanks.

Go ahead RMA it, just say having problems on certain games.

Clearly it's a card problem. Bring those photos along to shop (show on phone)

Looks like it's quite old, you might want to dust off certain parts but we think it's best you send for RMA.

That would need 3x 120mm areas. Even a simple NZXT S340 could to that.

Put 1 radiator at the back, 1 at top and 1 at front.

It’s a well-built card – one of the best to have come our way all year – and it sets a very high bar for ASUS’s competition. The one drawback with the card is the price, and this goes hand-in-hand with the value spoiler effect we just covered. At $259 the STRIX R9 380X OC halves the premium for an R9 390/GTX 970, yet those cards are still 30%+ faster. It’s very hard to charge a premium price for a premium card in the current market, and while the STRIX R9 380X is a fantastic R9 380X, it’s none the less in a very awkward spot right below some very powerful video cards.

When you look at the Radeon R9 380X overall, performance, Eyefinity features, PCIe gen 3 compatibility and all other stuff then we can only conclude that, though we like these cards, they belong in the mainstream to even a bit of the high-end (but certainly not enthusiast) graphics card arena. Overall we think the R9 380X remains to be a an excellent Full HD gaming card and a pretty decent WQHD alternative. On very harsh on the GPU titles however you'll find yourself un-ticking graphics quality options pretty fast to gain on framerate performance , but that is the trade-off and nothing to be ashamed about with a 260 EURO product.

ehh, GTX 970 is only RM 1399 cheapest.

I've used the HD 7970 / R9 280X / R9 285 and whatever else out there and if you're like me - you'll find that R9 380X is far from being amazing.

In fact I find it rather ridiculous that card of this performance is priced at RM 1.3k range these days when you can get an R9 280X used for RM 600 and still get similar performance.

Even 2 years ago this performance was already available at RM 1.1k range.

For AMD camp, a little over RM 1.5k and you can get an R9 390 8GB which I think is of better value.

Even 2 years ago this performance was already available at RM 1.1k range.

Hmm but, 2 years ago ringgit was stronger and also no GST, wouldn't those play a role?

Correct but fact remains that the performance is nothing new. For AMD the thing I have about their system is that HD 7970 = R9 280X = R9 380X!!! tongue.gif

And mind you, HD 7970 was 2012!!! That's why you see many reviews, they carry the same sentiment. It's nothing new. Nothing to shout about.

If you can get R9 380X at around RM 1,100 range then I think it's pretty alright, especially when you bring price to performance ratio to comparison with others around.

RM1279 at dota tech, card is amazing 1440p is not an issue with this card, saved me some rm instead of buying agtx970 which also is a good 1440p performer. Wished AMD could run full 384bit bus for this baby. Overall im very2 happy with this card

Final Words

When the Radeon R9 285 was released, that SKU was pretty much blocked and positioned in-between two rather similar AMD product with more memory, and did not make any sense. The 380 made way more sense in terms of price and performance, but we disliked the limited 2GB frame-buffer. The 380X as such the the final evolution of this mainstream to high-end positioned graphics card. With the 380X you get to use a proper 4 GB graphics memory and you'll have a fully enabled GPU with 2048 active shader processors. And such features combined makes a lof of sense. You will have a very good 1080P card running with more than decent enough performance in the WQHD (2560x1440) monitor domain. Overall for roughly 250/260 USD/EURO the Radeon R9 380X does offer good value for money. The factory tweaked and customized product will likely be a tenner more expensive though, but it remains very reasonable. The card as tested (factory tweaked and cooled) has a good design, it is factory overclocked a bit, nearly in-audible and looks really in any DiY PC build. The build quality seems to be pretty okay as well. So yeah man, for the money the 380X offer good value with most boxes properly ticked. As such it is definitely a recommended product.

And there you have it. Whether you measure the R9 380X by our preferred 99th-percentile method or in traditional average FPS, this card performs better than the GeForce GTX 960 4GB. It also costs slightly more. All told, that means these cards offer similar value propositions. As AMD hoped, the 380X delivers solid performance in the games we tested, even at 2560x1440 with considerable amounts of eye candy turned up.

Of course, not everyone has the bank roll for a higher-end card, in which case the Radeon R9 380X is an excellent choice if it fits your budget. It is clearly a higher performing product than the Radeon R9 285 and GeForce GTX 960. The Sapphire model we took a look at was nice and quiet, and a relatively good overclocker too. If you’ve got a couple of hundred bucks to spend on a GPU upgrade, you should definitely look into a 380X. It is a clear winner in its price segment.

The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is capable of achieving AMD Radeon R9 Fury X performance and gameplay experience. However, that is its limit in stock form. Achieving that goal demands a lot from this tiny video card. In our opinion the performance differences aren't worth the potential shortened lifespan or breaking of the video card to push it to those extremes to achieve that extra 10% performance, and remember what we said about the sound/noise profile.

Pretty good eh? biggrin.gif The R9 Nano is overclockable, with limitations of course.

I can only guess that people are not taking them in because they still have Kaveri to clear.

Too bad only can redee the game with Fury or more. I bought R9 390 but without any game. Only free driver disc sleep.gif

Being a relatively early adopter should have its perks but not me.

The A8-7670K retails at USD 109, a very good price for a processor with this performance, however there are 2 major problems plaguing the APU in Malaysia. Converting it directly based on exchange rate woudl show that the processor should retail at RM 450 which I think is awesome should it be so.

That’s the current price of an A8-7650K, and when you compare it to the aged A10-7700K the A8-7670K provides faster processing power and same graphics performance and costs 20% less. Compare it to the A10-7850K and you have a processor that costs 25% and provides similar processing power and just slightly slower graphics performance.

That’s all great until you realize that the local pricing isn’t that easy to estimate, so I reckon it’ll be priced more closely to the A10-7700K of which I think the A8-7670K is a worthy successor to provide better value at that price point.
