#

I actually don't use the broiler

#

But the oven function is wunderbra

reef tundra
#

Broiler is just a very hot heating element very close to your food

cursive summit
#

Mine can't I think

#

Well mine has convection / microwave / grill

#

And I can use combinations of two of those

#

But not all at once I think?

reef tundra
#

Most likely, for power use reasons and fire safety

vagrant pagoda
#

convection oven is god send

cursive summit
#

Fam my oven is like 400 euros

#

I bought it for 150

#

But it's worth at least 300

#

They don't go for much higher than that

reef tundra
#

Buy more product

cursive summit
#

Dunno mine's 45l

#

Coated in ceramic

#

As good as it gets for me

crisp granite
#

well

#

no

#

not when the market crashes

reef tundra
#

Ceramic lining? is it an makeshift forge aswell?

crisp granite
#

wut

#

you actually cook and eat turkey?

#

gross

#

I can't stand turkey, or poultry in general

#

funny, considering my grandfather on me mum's side was a chicken farmer

#

cool

#

good to know that spread to polynesia too

#

or is still alive and well as a tradition there

#

How hard does one had to press to make such a dent on the RVU?
Anyways mine had noticeable shining gloss just over a year of use pepecry

#

(Picture is from Reddit, not mine)

crisp granite
#

it's rubber

#

it wears down over time

analog aspen
#

Yeah idk never had that problem on any of my mouses that have side rubber

#

But my RVU have noticeable LMB & RMB shine

crisp granite
#

it happens

analog aspen
#

This is my RVU

#

Now it gotten even worse

#

Fml

crisp granite
#

well

#

C'est la vie

#

shit doesn't last forever

analog aspen
#

Shit only lasted 1 year?

#

For $150?

crisp granite
analog aspen
#

Nah it’s like ABS wear. No cleaning is getting it off

#

It’s permanent wear smoothing out the plastic surface

#

I just checked last night but forgot

#

One sec

#

Why tho? I used to use that on my old DA all the time

#

Not that bad

#

Actually the LMB and RMB shine/wear only happen to me on my RVU

#

DA, Zowie, Logitech, never had that problem

#

Yikes

#

8 years old DA. Good as new

#

Taiwan. Old v1 2019 batch

#

Week 44 so around October

#

Don’t think newer batch change anything about the shell tho

#

@crisp granite do you have the newer patch? I just found out they came with cool clicky click microswitch

crisp granite
#

I don't have a viper ultimate

analog aspen
#

The other day you said you have one. Did I remember wrong

crisp granite
#

viper mini

analog aspen
#

O

#

Pronin said Viper Mini received the update last

#

Check if you have the new switch

crisp granite
#

the gen twos?

analog aspen
#

Ye

crisp granite
#

I bought this thing not that long ago

analog aspen
#

I’m tempting to get a mini just to get the switch lmao

#

It’s going on sale for like $25 once in awhile

crisp granite
#

I'm like 350.3% sure I got the new switches

analog aspen
#

That’s an odd %

crisp granite
#

shut

analog aspen
crisp granite
#

but seriously

#

I've tried the old optical switches

#

these feel way better

#

gotta be the new ones

#

and personally, I like how these are less sharply clicky, like contact based mouse switches

misty saffron
#

meanwhile me with my $50 2.5 year old hyperx pulsefire surge 😎

#

actually a very good mouse

misty pier
#

i had a steelseries rival 100 that lasted me 3-4 years

#

i bought it for very cheap

#

my hands fit the viper mini perfectlyy

#

i dont need to do a claw grip or anything

analog aspen
reef tundra
#

You just want to kill the mouse? cool

analog aspen
#

Well I’m on the same boat. Considering the Keris but ngl spec is pretty bad. Viper getting oil corrosion is bad in my book (thinking 8kHz). Only GPX is left

#

choke grip

#

Keris is around the size of model d

analog aspen
#

Yeah I don’t think you can even finger grip Viper mini properly

#

RVU is already pretty small for me

analog aspen
#

Buy an EC1-B

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 with 16GB memory RTX 3070 can finally have more memory than RTX 3060.

Wow

#

Second dishwasher was delivered today

#

Similar damage then the first one...

#

Is it that hard to handle a dishwasher??

hard thicket
#

apparently yes ?

fair gull
#

xea will never get a dish wisher

hard thicket
#

wait it got damaged while being delivered with a eur-pallet ?

#

how does that work

zenith sonnet
#

It's not a EUR pallet

#

It's just 5 boards stabled together

#

Still, a EUR pallet would probably not have saved it

#

Looks like impact damage from falling/sliding off

#

It almost slid off the 'pallet'

#

Well, the wife is gonna be upset about this one when she wakes up, that's a given rooW

reef patrol
old marlin
#

@fair gull Pepethink where do you host websites?

pale sigil
#

@old marlin @old marlin on his server

ashen spindle
#

psure its on netcup

fair gull
#

id only recommend the webhosting packs with the caviat of not transferring domains to netcup that are already configured on netcups plesk panel

old marlin
#

Yea seems like we will end up getting the domain via netcup

#

Strato is absolute Pepega for what we want lol

fair gull
#

ngl netcup isnt always the cheapest but they offer solid products and solutions

#

the support is quick altho not all issues get resolved in the interest of the customer

old marlin
#

Is like 40 something cents a month for a de domain

#

Which is alright

fair gull
#

thats without the webhost tho

#

thats only domain name

old marlin
#

Yeye

fair gull
#

altho netcup includes domains just like strato does in their packs

#

so /shrug i guess

old marlin
#

We'll host ourselves peepoShrug

fair gull
#

good idea

old marlin
#

Strato is like "buy 17 different things to get the domain"

#

Like wtf

#

Even at mcdonalds i can buy a burger without a menu

fair gull
#

lel

#

like my go to for everything is netcup by now

halcyon moss
#

i host on tilaa
and personal one vps i have on transip

#

but dutch, so.. yeah, maybe you want german

pale sigil
#

hmm

#

no word from evga

#

about my psu

ashen spindle
#

clearly they ran off with it and sold it for profit

pale sigil
#

"Shipped From EVGA: Pending"

#

nvm

#

damn, taking their sweet time

#

😄

#

@ashen spindle pepesweat as long as its done before next credit month its fine but i dont like using my credit card and i had no choiced

reef patrol
#

You folk and your credit 😄

pale sigil
#

blame evga

#

they wouldn't accept any cards

#

lol

ashen spindle
#

credit is too american for me to ever do lul

pale sigil
#

Well

ashen spindle
#

wait no I guess technically I did use credit when I did crypto trading gloryT

pale sigil
#

It doesn't say which PSU is being send out

#

thats changed

#

xD

#

willprob be sent today or tomoz

#

since friday wont really count as a business day

#

usually start the next week

#

i mean it is a business day but you get me

vagrant pagoda
#

I know there is a psu shortage, bit I've only ever bought silverstone psus and never had one fail on 10+ years

#

Idk who makes evga's psus

astral haven
#

Everyone sources all sorts of stuff

vagrant pagoda
#

But I don't like buying from third parties oems

astral haven
#

Neither Silverstone nor evga are oems

vagrant pagoda
#

Silverstone dose in house design and manufacturer for thier psus...

astral haven
#

No

#

Mostly fsp

#

Seasonic is the only vendor who also oems

vagrant pagoda
#

I thought they were a subsidiary of the oe

ashen spindle
#

seasonic has worked great for me so far, probably my go to for psus

vagrant pagoda
#

Who am I thinking of?

astral haven
#

Seasonic is the only one

#

Fsp is getting into retail now tho

#

Seasonic is just bad for overclocking

ashen spindle
#

how so?

astral haven
#

You gotta have more wattage headroom

#

They can't handle current spikes

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah I'm der8auer runs seasonic on all his oc stuff

#

They have been his sponsor for years

astral haven
#

Most brands you want 20% headroom, seasonic you need 30%

ashen spindle
#

hmm that's the opposite of what I remember, what I looked at most of them had decent headroom

vagrant pagoda
#

So they have working OCP, and that's a bad thing?

astral haven
#

Yea well if you have an unlimited budget lol whatever

#

No

#

Ocp shouldn't trigger when max current is less than psu wattage

ashen spindle
#

nono I mean in terms of what they can take for peaks, let me see if I can find the video I have that from

vagrant pagoda
#

I can't see any data to back that up

astral haven
#

Yea everything is fine on paper with seasonic, except for some extra ripple on 3.3 and 5v

vagrant pagoda
#

Considering they do over rated in jonnygurus hotbox test

astral haven
#

Their Ocp points are correct

vagrant pagoda
#

Which is 10+ minutes each

#

Idk how you think they don't do rated

astral haven
#

But they just can't run shunted nvidia cards unless they are heavily overspecced

vagrant pagoda
#

That dosent make sense

#

If they can do rated in the 12v only test

#

For 10+ minutes

#

They will pass any bench

astral haven
#

No

#

700w for 3ms is alot more stress than 800w for an hour

vagrant pagoda
#

What gpu bench is an hour?

astral haven
#

Tldr 1200 and 1kw seasonics can't handle 9900k+ shunted 2080ti

#

Was an example

reef patrol
#

🤨

astral haven
#

Short spikes are alot more stress than long term power usage

ashen spindle
#

I think it was a computex/ces video from either steve or roman where they were at a psu booth and topic was seasonic and how they usualy have like 30% headroom above rating, granted I dont think it was mentioned for how long

vagrant pagoda
#

Also the hot box test is 100% rated for 10 minutes for just one test

ashen spindle
#

and not really easy to find since it wasnt the main focus of the video...

astral haven
#

Yes their opp is good

vagrant pagoda
#

And the ambient temp is 50c

astral haven
#

Look if you aren't overclocking it doesn't apply to you

#

Unless you are getting a 3090

ashen spindle
#

I think the focus is more on short spikes that occur especially on OCd hardware that only go above rating for a minuscule timeframe, 100% load test doesnt matter there

astral haven
#

Yup

fair gull
fickle ore
#

100000000000W in 1 nanosecond says hi

#

joking ofcourse

ashen spindle
#

but I would still assume if it can handle like 30% above rating, it could also deal with short spikes that dont even go that high?

astral haven
#

The problem is the rising and falling edge of the spikes

#

You can think of it like whiplash

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

Electrons have momentum

vagrant pagoda
#

I know what I'm talking about

astral haven
#

290x aren't that spikey

fickle ore
#

@astral haven How much m/s?

vagrant pagoda
#

Lol wut?

fair gull
#

@halcyon moss the same spec vps with less traffic is 20eur a month on transip

vagrant pagoda
#

That was a dual psu rig

astral haven
#

295x2s are spikes asf

vagrant pagoda
#

And I had to run a 1200w for just the gpus

astral haven
#

But 290x had caps

vagrant pagoda
#

This was daily rig

#

So gaming

#

Which is spikey as hell

astral haven
#

Look

ashen spindle
#

but the card itself might not spike as hard

astral haven
#

I can tell you the facts of the matter

ashen spindle
#

higher tdp does not instantly relate to higher current spikes

#

unless we talk about same VRM etc.

vagrant pagoda
#

Show me some data to back it up

astral haven
#

Idk how many systems I've helped troubleshoot?

ashen spindle
#

I mean, idk if anyone really did load analysis of a 290 card

astral haven
#

Tomshardware did

ashen spindle
#

ew

#

wait, which one, .de or .com?

astral haven
#

Hard to mess up an oscilloscope reading
Ok actually that'd not true it's pretty easy

#

.com

#

It was a while afo

ashen spindle
#

hmm guess that means it's still possible it was igor who did it then

#

as he's doing it now on his own page

astral haven
#

Very not good for a trigger happy ocp

#

Even my corsair psu quit on me and corsair is known for being very precise with their ocp
If that's a good thing that's up to you :P

fickle ore
#

This only matters if you load up ur gpu to 100% and whos kidding here we all play lowest setting for competitive advantage anyway

astral haven
#

Nah

fickle ore
#

my gpu prob 20w/1ms

#

:kekw:

ashen spindle
#

yeah, I too prefer to enjoy witcher 3 on lowest settings on my 3090 Pepega

fickle ore
#

xD

astral haven
#

Most spikey power is when the clock is highest

#

Low settings high fps is really bad for psus lel

#

Well

fickle ore
#

DOUBT

#

BCUZ 20% gpu load

#

100% of 20w is 40w

#

magnitude is higher but who cares

astral haven
#

Wut

#

So thing is

#

Average of 20w can mean 1kw for 1 ms then 19w for 999ms

fickle ore
#

yes

astral haven
#

If your gpu load is for example 10% that means that 90% of the time the gpu is drawing idle power

fickle ore
#

but your gpu isn't gonna use 1kw for 1ms if you're playing on optimized XD

astral haven
#

The moment your cpu provides it a frame it kicks into gear and spits out the frame asap

#

If you have a gpu that has bad coil whine you can literally prove it

#

Take furmark and make the window smaller and smaller

vagrant pagoda
#

I meant that seasonic psus trip under thier rated power

astral haven
#

Your gpu will screeeeeam

#

Yup

zenith sonnet
vagrant pagoda
#

I have luckily never have coil whine

astral haven
#

Try it out lel

#

Furmark in 100x20 will make anything scream

fickle ore
#

@astral haven if it worked like that my GPU in Valorant would scream, because my avg framerate is 900. But no, it rather screams in PoE where my avg framerate is 120.

#

Also Blackdesert Online launcher sucks

vagrant pagoda
#

Only issue I've had is my 7970s and 290x had to low of a 2d clock

pale sigil
#

I see black desert

vagrant pagoda
#

And would fuck up visuals on desktop with eyefinity

pale sigil
#

You grabbed my attention

ashen spindle
#

I get coil whine whenever I start steam vr pepeLaughter bc my 6800 renders that at like 600fps

vagrant pagoda
#

So I just flashed bios to raise them

pale sigil
zenith sonnet
#

I need to get it up to about 5000 FPS to be audible

fickle ore
#

It's 100% based on the amount of GPU power the gpu thinks the game needs. In Valorant at 900 (cpu bottleneck) it doesnt even care because it barely loads like 30% of the gpu cores prob -> lower current

astral haven
#

With an unlocked bios my 780ti was so screamy that I could pretty much use it as a speaker lel

vagrant pagoda
#

My 1080ti, v and 64 don't have any issues that aren't driver

astral haven
#

Furmark 100x20 makes everything scream

#

And I have alot of gpus

ashen spindle
#

also gotta keep in mind both loadspikes and coil whine can vary drastically on the same SKU depending on what model you have

fickle ore
#

yes, so % load of teh gpu cores

pale sigil
#

@fickle ore launcher used to be worse

fickle ore
#

or transistors if you will

vagrant pagoda
#

Also I'm glad actual vrm heat sinks came back into style on motherboards

#

I always hated the dumb extruded aluminum look

ashen spindle
#

they are not back bc of style they are back bc it's needed on some KEKW

astral haven
#

Wish we didn't need them

#

Giv z78 soc again lel

vagrant pagoda
#

I just want the day of simple motherboards back

ashen spindle
#

yeah that train is gone and not coming back

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

astral haven
#

Z77 not z78 oops

vagrant pagoda
#

My k9a2 platinum is my favorite mobo of all time

#

It had everything

#

Back when a 5 phase ran a 105w cpu....

astral haven
#

Peeps now running a 150w cpu on a 4 phase

crisp granite
#

well

#

the most batshit crazy of us do

astral haven
#

Also back then if your cpu drew over tdp you got crucified

vagrant pagoda
#

Yep

astral haven
#

No doge it's pretty normal

crisp granite
#

most of us are reasonable and aren't running Ryzen 9s off of A series mobos

vagrant pagoda
#

That was my last msi board

ashen spindle
#

gimme 4 phases for my W3175X peepoClown

astral haven
#

B450 average phase count is 4

#

There are 3 phase b450

vagrant pagoda
#

I upgraded that to a gig 990fx ud9

halcyon moss
astral haven
#

3 phases usually teamed but still 3

vagrant pagoda
#

Which was chilled loop setup v1

#

I kept blowing vrms

#

The amazing thing about that board

#

It would blow a vrm phase

#

And reboot

#

And work

#

I have the vrm block still

#

And it has like 4~5 skid marks from blown mosfets

astral haven
#

Thats

#

Not good?

vagrant pagoda
#

I would turn off the oc

#

And wait for replacement board

#

For a week or so

#

Missing a vrm

#

I think I was hitting pcb limits

astral haven
#

Fx

vagrant pagoda
#

1090t

#

It was probably burning some internal fiberglass layers and shorting the power plane

#

I had a chiller loop setup with a few point controller

astral haven
#

Phenom on 990fx???

vagrant pagoda
#

So it was running hard

#

Yeah

astral haven
#

??

vagrant pagoda
#

That was the main use for them

astral haven
#

Idk

#

All the 990fx boards I know had 8320 and 8130?

vagrant pagoda
#

They came out after the chipset

#

And where objectively worst than a 1090t

astral haven
#

8120 not 8130

vagrant pagoda
#

Especially for oc

astral haven
#

Cheap tho

#

Very very cheap

vagrant pagoda
#

I was running my 1090t at 4.2

#

1.55v

#

She was cooking

#

That rig would ocp a 1200e

fair gull
#

glad netcup has an eu website

vagrant pagoda
#

Which was the biggest you could get then

#

So I have a 800w for everything other than gpu

#

And the 1200w for the gpu

vagrant pagoda
#

That board still worked

wheat plume
#

I hate hw they call it a payload xd

ashen spindle
#

.. thats a normal naming for it?

wheat plume
#

perhaps, I just always associate it with malware

ashen spindle
#

not really their fault though

wheat plume
#

spyder kept crashing when I installed it

#

so now I installed anaconda cause the spyder website says that is the best way to install spyder

#

and now wtf I do?

vagrant pagoda
#

Payload is the correct term, you just don't do a lot of remote deployment stuff

wheat plume
#

hmm

#

and probably the most unique example of the mounting possibilities.......questions what he just said

crisp granite
#

hm

#

mounting possibilities...

wheat plume
#

#

smol af camera you can mount to anything

#

yes but youd not wear your phone on your helmet if you wanted to record a bike ride or whatever

#

:P

crisp granite
#

hm

#

I could use this for sailing...assuming it's waterproof and class rules allow it or say absolutely nothing about it

wheat plume
#

it edits for you...WOT?!!

#

it can auto sync video clips to music

#

Yes, its waterproof

crisp granite
#

now to read the class rules

#

those are painful to read

wheat plume
#

the what

crisp granite
#

it's a legal document of what you can and can't do for boats in a certain class

#

for racing

wheat plume
#

ooohhh

crisp granite
#

it keeps the competition fair

#

so, I can't use an ultralight hull that weighs 90 kg less than a normal one and just smoke out the competition

#

or a larger mast and sail combo, different foil shapes

#

stuff like that

wheat plume
#

oo, its $300

crisp granite
#

some class rules have rules about nav aids, mainly larger boats

#

this might classify as one

wdym with "furthest points" btw

ye but what is 8.5 then

analog aspen
#

if measure like this then 10cm

old marlin
#

ah

analog aspen
#

if from the thumb nail then 8.5 cm

old marlin

yea ok nvm then

you just have an proportionally large sized thumb

and proportionally small sized rest of the fingers

analog aspen

how

I also wanna look at new mice. What would fit a 11x20cm hand?

analog aspen

pretty sure its because the way my thumb closes into the hand

my thumb is slightly, barely longer than yours, but we have the same hand shape

Not really a need

#

You ears have enough dynamic range for it

#

With headphones it's bad

#

With speakers it's ok

#

It's not that loud

#

I don't have it that loud

#

The speakers have great sensitivity

#

It's not as bad with good speakers

#

I can hear a whisper as good as clipping

#

And I have clipping with 100% digital set lower than the most I can tolerate

#

So it can never get too loud

#

I have a big set of floor standers

#

Dual 8" mains, 4 inch mid, and a 1inch tweeter

With preamp crossover so they are bi amped

Then what about everyother type of media?

that's fair tho

my problem is if they won't accept return if nothing is wrong with the mouse

#

realisticly speaking, how important are updates? because it seems like I can run everything fine without updates (Win 7). Same goes for software. I get that updates exist for bug fixes and security fixes... but if ain't those two, then what's the point?

ashen spindle
#

idk, you're being way too generic about them

cursive summit
#

Man amp links are pain

ashen spindle
#

bug fix, security fixes, compatibility, new features

proud nacelle
#

I suppose. But to me, new features is actually a hinderance. Compatibility, not sure what you mean, but I would like to find out.

ashen spindle
#

as in making an update so the new software x can work on your system

#

for example raytracing needs a certain version before it can work due to API changes etc.

proud nacelle
#

Well

#

I don't use raytracing so I can't have any say on that. But I mean, running Win 7 with no updates and... stuff is working fine.

#

Just makes me wonder.

ashen spindle
#

well yeah if it would break down on its own there would've been an urgent patch for it

proud nacelle
#

It would be nice if I knew what exactly those updates did

#

Or if I could inspect them

ashen spindle
#

peepoShrug unless there is a big security or performance issue I just run some time behind so if there are bugs they will be found and then I update

dont really care what it is at that point

cba at points figuring out if I need to update to fix any issues I get potentially, I just do it before I run into that

either mindfactory was told to stop the sale, or 250ish was the entire stock they got for the 11700k KEKW

reef patrol
#

The latter most likely.

shadow minnow
#

Or both lul

ashen spindle
#

yeah it's the stock ran out, at leas the one they could sell

#

but that either means the nda break happend at only a smaller supplier, or there is even less stock of intel cpus than zen3 lmao

shadow minnow
#

It’s 14nm so I think the first lul

ashen spindle
#

imagine making a worse cpu, that costs more to make and has less revenue, to also produce less

shadow minnow
#

But... but our real life usecase benchmarks show how intel is better lul

ashen spindle
#

im so sorry for the poor engineers who had to backport this for basically performance regression compared what they had

#

also a bit sad that the laptop processors are a gen ahead of both desktop and server now from then

shadow minnow
#

Yeah lul

#

I guess the defect rate for higher yields / chip sizes is too high or sth

ashen spindle
#

no 10nm is just broken

proper crystal
#

Server is still coasting on Skylake. Though Sunny Cove based server parts reportedly shipped 100k units as seeding before official launch.

shadow minnow
#

It’s actually apparently as good as TSMC 7nm, just the fact that when we will se it on desktops, TSMC will already be at 5 lul

ashen spindle
#

yeah but pre launch doesnt really count

proper crystal
#

Some versions of 10nm were broken. Seems Intel fixed it enough for themselves.

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

they "launched" 10nm in 2018

proper crystal
#

Yes, but nodes evolve. Intel's 10nm especially

ashen spindle
#

that time they had cannon lake laptops and claimed 10nm is in production

#

just to not fail investor goals lmao

#

now 3 years later 10nm barely scrapes by and 10nm seems to be decent-ish

proper crystal
#

The bigger issue for Intel is that, normalized for node, their Cove microarchitecture which has PPC parity with Zen3 takes up 1.25x the area.

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

insane demand != no supply

proper crystal
#

Again, they already shipped 100k massive server chips made on 10nm.

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

server chips yes, but I doubt all or even many of them are the fully enabled SKUs

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

sure but if lets say 80k of those are 6 core xeons, that is still a broken node in my eyes lmao

#

the number alone means little

proper crystal
#

I'm talking about Ice Lake SP.

ashen spindle
#

I know, cascade lake went down as far as 6 iirc

#

I doubt it is that bad, just saying 100k is very deceptive potentially

#

for all we know they might not even have final specs, not work at planned TDP etc.

proper crystal
#

Cascade also launched when mainstream Intel was 4 core or 6 core.

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

ok if we go to cooper lake which is the latest that also goes down to 8..

proper crystal
#

Cooper is just plain weird. Anyway, 80% of the seeding units being 10 core or less would be suicide.

ashen spindle
#

im just saying, usually nobody discloses these numbers, intel discolsing it when everything else points towards bad things doesn't make me believe the number is anything but deception

#

well yeah that's a bit extreme, just saying it could be and the number would still be 100k

proper crystal
#

Either way, Ice Lake SP is catching up in single core perf to Rome, with fewer cares on top SKUs and with Milan launching sooner, so...

ashen spindle
#
  • based on anandtechs article 1600 wafers could fulfill the 115k dies
#

trying to find the numbers of waferthroughput of tsmc 7nm but that doesnt sound great

#

yeah, suddenly that 110k chips is a tiny ammount

proper crystal
#

If it was only 1.6k wafers, then 10nm would have to yield pretty well.

#

It is a tiny amount for full production, it isn't tiny for a seeding run.

ashen spindle
#

uhh that statement only holds up if we know they only had it running for a short time

#

" Intel originally stated that it was sampling Ice Lake Xeon with key customers as far back as May 2019. With high volume manufacturing starting in Q4 "

#

so almost 2 years

#

ofc they dont run at full capacity so you can't directly compare it to regular production with 4k+ wafers a month at tsmc

#

at the same time intel is much bigger and their own numbers would be even higher

proper crystal
#

Either way, their current 10nm node is good enough for them to use it on a big server die.

ashen spindle
#

idk I remain sceptical

#

10nm SF? sure that seems to be running fine

#

but ice is on regular

#

or 10nm+ rather I guess?

ashen spindle
#

..so 18 months?

#

or 12 to 18?

fickle ore
#

11700k vs 5800x core-to-core latencies btw

ashen spindle
#

apple pays more and thus it costs more

#

pay more and you get any hardware atm

#

so no real difference

shadow minnow
#

Well, you have to pay lot more for other hardware atm, not just more lul

shadow minnow
ashen spindle
#

what

#

those are both numbers from anandtech

#

and you wont find many people in journalism doing the same or better latency stuff than andrei

shadow minnow
proper crystal
shadow minnow
#

Either 5 5800 and 5950x have same latencies or there is sth wrong with that graph afaik

ashen spindle
#

.. you do remember ryzen has chiplets yes?

#

of course they have the same

#

if you just look at latency withing the 8 cores on one chiplet

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

you have all the info about a 5800 in a 5950, like you get a 5600 data from a 5900 graph

proper crystal
#

In Zen1 and Zen2 CPUs it'd be clusters of 4.

shadow minnow
#

If it’s completely same latencies, then yes I guess, just that this is basically cutted out of 5950x graph, but not really sure how is it completely with latencies tbh

ashen spindle
#

ofc it's the same

#

it's in both cases a look at one CCD

shadow minnow
#

Does not look completely same, first quarter is little bit different to forth, although the differences are negligible

proper crystal
#

The latencies will vary a little, which you even see if you compare the 5800X and 5950X - tiny variations are inevitable.

Other than that I don't understand what you mean.

ashen spindle
#

yes because not every piece of silicon is identical, but thats the only difference you get

proper crystal
#

It's more about random variation than silicon level stuff. But that's a technicality.

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

core 0 cares as much about core16 when sending to core 1 as it cares about what gpu the pc has

#

eh I guess, since they are just identical in this case but not always lel

proper crystal
#

The fact on Zen3 one CCD contains one CCX doesn't mean the parity will always be there.
CCD is a physical term, CCX an architectural one.

ashen spindle
#

either way, tomorrow we get more data from hardwareluxx most likely, they also bought one

#

though I dont think they test latency as intensive

astral haven
#

the real question is memory latency

#

cause obviously the ultrawide ice lake cores are crying with jdec ram

proper crystal
astral haven
#

with slow ram sure

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

you're asking alot for a backport, it's not a new uArch besides backporting basically

astral haven
#

^

proper crystal
#

Slow RAM? It's what Intel certified the design for. All tests done by Anandtech are at max spec of the CPU - including Zen3 and Comet Lake tests.

astral haven
#

this was designed to run with lpddr which is waaaaaaay higher bandwidth than ddr4

#

no

#

jdec 3200 != high speed 3200

proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

willow cove was designed for 10nm, it was then backported to 14nm to have a working product, part of that means you have suboptimal designs for memory controller etc.

astral haven
#

literal 40% performance with fixed timings

proper crystal
astral haven
#

and here are fps values

ashen spindle
#

nope, its ice lake backport, not tiger lake

astral haven
#

ice is sunny

#

tiger is willow

ashen spindle
#

arr god damit, my bad then

#

too used to skylake

proper crystal
astral haven
#

no?

#

Jdec of the speed isnt equal to the best speed of that memory speed

#

i mean the 5800x is in stock lel

proper crystal
astral haven
#

nope

ashen spindle
#

intel had its own shortages that are still not over

astral haven
#

intel at least guarantees max theoretical speed on their rated clock

#

idk about amd

#

remember different boards will treat jdec differently

#

tuned subs can improve performance by 30% entirely without anything visible to anyone

proper crystal
astral haven
#

their tests are comparable to each other

#

but what happens if you actually feed the cores?

#

thats what is interesting about rkl

#

its for the 1% of the 1%, but its still interesting

vagrant pagoda
#

People never understand how much ram effects performance

proper crystal
#

Oh, then OK. A lot of people do complain about testing at JEDEC in general, I thought you're one of those.

astral haven
#

oh no at did the right thing

#

but i want overclocking

#

so im gonna have to wait a bit 😦

#

i mean

proper crystal
#

Also Intel fanboys are using this to say that RKL actually will be a beast or something.

vagrant pagoda
#

Going from base settings to 4000 cl16 on my ryzen 5 setup is almost 40% in some games

astral haven
#

well its actually insanely fast

proper crystal
proper crystal
#

Eh. Geekbench isn't a very good benchmark. I also expect 11900K to be very much a paper halo - same situation like 10900K and 11850K.

astral haven
#

whats interesting to note is this
53ns

#

anandtech got 71ns

#

if comet lake bioses can do 53ns already, theres not much distance to make up to hit comet lake performance

#

and if it can do comet lake singlethread with the same anandtech multithread scaling? that would be fantastic

proper crystal
#

Anandtech is more trustworthy IMO because they test various cases. Benchmarks usually run one case, and also CPUs do detect big benchmarks and alter their behaviour accordingly.

astral haven
#

yes but ram latency is ram latency

proper crystal
#

Not just RAM.

astral haven
#

fact of the matter is, anandtech got 71ns l3 to dram

#

er no 72.77ns

proper crystal
#

You also have the internal mem controller setup and coherency system, and prefetcher. Different data types and sizes will give out different results.

astral haven
#

and there are plenty of benches online with people in the 40-50 range

ashen spindle
#

For all we know intel might’ve crippled the 11700k to have reasons for selling a 11900k lmao

proper crystal
astral haven
#

11700k isnt that much slower

#

and intel can make a tooooooon of chips

#

70 billion dollars makes things happen lel

analog aspen
proper crystal
ashen spindle
#

So much they basically stopped the 10900k because they couldn’t bin enough and made the 10850k a thing yea

astral haven
#

ryzen isnt releasing any more consumer cpus on ddr4
at least not any ones faster than the 5950x/5800x

#

karbin

#

please

proper crystal
astral haven
#

if you dont understand how memory ladders are made, dont try to pretend you do

#

theres only one way to measure

#

and everyone measures the same way

#

there are different ways to present the results sure

#

thats why anandtech says 84.5ns in their graph when their actual result was 72.7ns

#

84.5 isnt wrong its just not the normal way that everyone else reports it
and tbh i wish everyone did use total latency but 🤷‍♂️

analog aspen
#

I didn’t win anyways. What’s to expect lul

#

Also the chips look shit

#

At this point I’m happy I got the 2080Ti when I did despite people memeing

#

Now I have performance card rivals 3070 while people pay $300 more

ashen spindle
#

Wtf how cheap did you get your card for

analog aspen
#

Well not this Gen’s case

#

This Gen has been disaster

astral haven
#

wut

analog aspen
#

Corona, stock hit, people waited, chip shortage, tax war

astral haven
#

ok but guess how many 3080s showed up on the steam hardware survey

#

aka cards sold to gamers

analog aspen
#

Because this gen’s chip was better that people are now chewing off each other’s to get it

astral haven
#

yea

analog aspen
astral haven
#

but gotta understand that alot of people got their chips

analog aspen
astral haven
#

again try to guess how many people got 3080s

#

on steam

#

1080ti went up iirc?

#

oh no

#

it did go down

#

went down by ~ 20k

proper crystal
astral haven
#

they all use the exact same methods to get the latency

#

i forget the exact series of x86 assembler but all the benchmarks do the same thing

#

ok the 1080ti went down by 30k

#

actually maybe closer to 40k

proper crystal
#

Again, maybe they all do. But given the discrepancy with AnandTech, I'd guess they do something a bit different, or maybe they use both the traditional test and some more custom ones.

astral haven
#

no?

#

the difference is exactly what youd expect for jdec vs xmp

#

oh yikes

#

yup

#

its also a shame anand himself retired too

#

guy was a legend

proper crystal
astral haven
#

yup

#

i calculated dram latency from ats numbers

#

at got 84.5ns memory access latency

#

which at 11.9ish l3 turns into 72ish ns dram

#

vs the 52-38 that we see with xmp

#

and we do know that gb4 and aida64 calculate dram latency the same way so their results are directly comparable

proper crystal
#

Oh, then sure I guess. But memory access latency is what counts in the end.
Given how fucked Cypress Cove L3 seems to be, I don't hold out as much hope for a big improvement from memory timings.
Would expect more with higher DRAM speeds since those should also make the uncore clock higher.

astral haven
#

3733 dram clock is the highest we have seen here

#

and they hit sub 40ns

#

best ive seen on zen 3 is 48ns

proper crystal
#

We'll see how the scaling will work out. I think memory improvements will get choked by L3 and ring bus.

astral haven
#

and 2000 fclk > 1866

#

nah

#

intel doesnt have a ton of l3 but its as fast as zen 3s monster cache

proper crystal
#

2000 fclk on Zen3 is really high.

astral haven
#

yea

#

thats why its the best ive ever seen lel

proper crystal
#

Well, it is slower than Comet Lake and other previous Skylakes.

astral haven
#

its not practical to hit that in reality where 39ns on rocket only took a day lel

#

yea sky can hit 25

#

but well

#

sky aint got the cache bandwidth

#

like look at that l1

#

its double the bw per core of zen 2/3

proper crystal
#

Well yeah. They have big L1 in Coves. But what really matters is the end performance.

astral haven
#

yea

#

and well

#

for consumers the perf is 🤢

#

but i wanna see what an oc can give

proper crystal
#

I care much more about the underlying uarch. And Cypress Cove is a bastard child of an already shitty design.

astral haven
#

nah

#

ice is fantastic design

#

sure the l2 is a bit anemic but its fine

#

tiger is literally just ice with more l2

#

remember rocket is faster than the 3990x and 3995wx in some workloads

proper crystal
#

It's too fat.

proper crystal
astral haven
#

?

#

yes

#

this is 220mm2 of die area beating out 600mm2 of die area

#

on a node 1/3 the density

proper crystal
# astral haven ?

About 1.25x the area compared to Zen3 (when controlled for process as much as you can).
AVX512 is a benefit for very limited set of workloads, which exist between CPU workloads and obvious GPGPU candidates.

It is nifty, but I'd rather have it as, say, an optional chiplet.

astral haven
#

1.25x the area for 6x the performance?

proper crystal
#

...in very limited set of ideal AVX512 applications...

astral haven
#

and 1.25x the area on a node with 1/3 the density

#

14++ is 35mt/mm2 and zen 3 is on a 95/105mt/mm2 node

proper crystal
#

"normalized for process" - it's core plus L2, based on Sunny, not Cypress.

astral haven
#

no not normalized for process

#

its 1.25x the area

proper crystal
#

You have exact measurements for Cypress?

#

If so, they managed to have the same area for Cypress on 14nm as they do for Sunny on 10nm. Now that's quite some magic.

#

I'm counting core + L2 cache, not the L3 since that can vary more.

astral haven
#

im counting entire core area

proper crystal
#

Ideally I would count only the core, but it is troublesome to say definitively the extent of L2.

astral haven
#

l2 is a very very important part of the core

#

and l3 is too now

proper crystal
#

I know, but I'm talking about the logic itself.

astral haven
#

not including the literal most important part of the core (the caches) would be outright dumb

#

also we dont know the logic density of any of these nodes

proper crystal
#

And L3 and L2 are somewhat easier to scale than it is to change the logic core.

astral haven
#

only the geomean density between sram and logic

proper crystal
#

I know that. That's why I say "about 1.25x" and "controlled for process as much as you can".

astral haven
#

for ease of calculation i include anything on the ccd for zen and the equivalent for intel

#

because we know the exact transistor counts of the ccds we can extrapolate pretty well

proper crystal
#

Yes, and yet again, we are doing two different types of comparisons 🤣

astral haven
#

but the tldr is that sunny is very very high performance per transistor

#

power is dumb and intel is dumb for not taking full advantage of the fpus that they added on for avx512 (good examples are tigerlake and skyx)
but its still not entirely wasted

proper crystal
#

We'll see how Alder Lake and Zen4 will do. First gens of DDR tend to be expensive and slow though.

astral haven
#

d5 isnt gonna be slow

#

its gonna zoom

#

but oooh boy is it gonna be expensive
