The lack of knowing prices makes it more than interesting.
My doubt is to know what will happen if it were to enter a market that has been disputed for decades between two, and above all, when.

By the way, more than to compete with Intel, shouldn't AMD be more worried?
I ask innocently.

If a bet is made, sign me up for the price to stay the same or go up.

The holiday season has softened him up, lol!

There is already detail about the 5 models:

And here is the supposed performance in comparison to a 1060Q (not bad if it's real):

Intel has published a list of affected models.

On Tom´s Hardware they have published an explanation of the vulnerabilities (Meltdown and Spectre). Meltdown is in principle a vulnerability that does not necessarily affect home users. Its danger lies in the possibility that a user of one virtual machine has to access the data of the memory of another virtual machine. This, in server farms that offer virtualized services, means that anyone could access data such as passwords resident in the memory of any virtual machine running on that same physical machine.

Spectre is a different problem that does affect AMD processors. For this security flaw there is no software solution and it will remain there until manufacturers sell CPUs with the bug fixed. But it is very difficult to exploit because the way to carry it out varies greatly from model to model.

From the point of view of nomenclature, do you think that the end of the Core era (i3, i5, i7...) has arrived?

Thanks guys.

@yorus said in 2017 in hardware and Linux mode:

For now, as a next task, I set myself to run the benchmark on every machine with Windows that I have on hand, first my own and then the ones at work.

That would be great. Thanks to the submissions you have provided in recent months, the central has reached a critical mass of validations that are starting to make it interesting but it lacks a lot of content to become the germ of something truly relevant. In that aspect, for my part, I have already contributed everything I could: my own PCs, those of family members and those from work. In order to continue advancing, you are still fundamental.

It is still a business, as always. In the end, they will somehow cover up the use of certain software at the driver level, which will make very bad publicity for people who use "domestic" graphics for professional purposes. Because most home users are not aware of these issues, except for enthusiasts like us, but perhaps a user as specific as the one who would set up a Quadro or a Tesla on their own, or who would set up the equipment for those tasks, would think about trying AMD.

Almost a year after the announcement, the final specifications have been published. The maximum resolution will not be 8K as initially stated, but 10K. Depending on whether the data is compressed or not, the frame rate varies quite a bit.

Without compression at 10 bits, 4K can reach 171fps while 10K will go to 24fps. With 1:3 DSC compression, 4K could reach 512 frames per second while 10K would reach 72 also at 10 bits.

For gamers, there is also improved image latency, and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) is added, which does what GSync and Freesync and company do.

It is curious the time that some people dedicate to meaningless things like this. At least it is curious.

It seems that Torvalds's overflowing fury is not only related to the code or the way changes are managed. There is an internal (ego) war in the security subsystem between Kees Cook and Brad Spengler in which they are throwing 0-day security flaws between their respective security systems. And they are doing it in public to prove that their systems are superior to each other. Apparently, both are two good pieces to avoid because of their haughty and arrogant attitude.

In

there is an example.

@krampak nobody hates UEFI being able to search within the BIOS is priceless!, although some are a bit sad, but in general they improve a lot the traditional ones.
