*IF* zen and polaris fail than amd will go bankrupt by 2019 but if they don't than amd is here to stay
>>
No, if Zen fails then AMD is bankrupt and finished even if Polaris succeeds (it won't)
>>
amd's debt levels mean they cannot recover without multiple home run products, they have to literally win the entire cpu and gpu market in order to recover. it's mostly impossible and certainly isn't helped by the fact that they only hire shills and indians these days.

AMD is most likely finished, our only hope is that someone competent at design (samsung, nvidia) can manage to get licenses for all of AMD's IP and start producing x86 CPUs.
>>
It's fairly safe to say AMD won't be going bankrupt by 2019. For one we are basing their economic future off of what we know about early Zen, Polaris, and the R9 400 cards. Chances are AMD, Intel, and Nvidia will loose revenue because consumers won't feel the need to upgarde early.

don't worry, apple will buy them

Should bode well for Zen.
>>
>>54167018
Intel owns the x86 license.
AMD owns the AMD64-86 license.
That, and, well, China. Western laws don't exactly apply there.

And there is no doubt some-underkey license objectives that state that X-percent of x86 income goes to Intel, so this deal being for x86 would just essentially mean income for Intel.

Polaris should be fine, in fact, they might have an edge over Pascal. I'm hoping they release a 490 and then release a Fury replacement with Vega. On the CPU side, I just want them to at least match Haswell. I'd buy their 4core CPU with if it can do that, hell, I'd buy their 8core CPU. I'd love to have more cores for compiling, encoding, and having a little more juice for VMs. Making a server would be fine too. One thing does worry me though and that is their AM4 platform. Do we have any details on what they will support? The only thing I know is that they can do DDR4.

Because Nvidia are shady pieces of shit. The 970 is still a good buy even if the 390 beats it in every way except power consumption. The nothing changed part is bullshit, people started testing the damn card and found spikes when using the memory. Titles are going to be using more than 4GB soon, and if people want VR then they'll be out of luck with the card since rendering two screens will definitely deplete it. I was an early adopter, I had small Kepler with the 670, since Tahiti was out of stock, and thought it was time for an upgrade. I'll be hesitant on buying Nvidia in the future, I'd rather give my money to AMD when they're going with an open sourced route.

They'll still survive even if Zen fails. They already got design wins on all 3 major next gen consoles. Meaning Polaris is already successful.

At most they'll just exit the x86 market or end up marginalized to 3% market share like Via was. But that doesn't mean that they can't get design wins. If they come up with a low-cost, low-power SoC with significant graphics oomph and average cpu performange, then they can just sell those for consoles and steamboxes and similar machines. And they can keep doing that pretty much until Intel makes a gpu that isn't shit (which they kept failing at for nearly 20 years now).

People are dumping Intel stocks and have nowhere else to go but AMD. AMD is rock bottom compared to Intel and the only way it can go is up. That's why AMD stocks went up, but ARM, Qualcomm, and other stocks haven't seen the same jump.

They us something like a lightbulbs worth of extra energy, and the heat is only a problem cause the reference coolers were shit.
Hell they are efficient enough that the same GPU is still competitive today, 4 years later, against the latest nvidia cards.

It's memeposting like this that results in what they are doing with Polaris right now - no extra performance, just the same card at 50-100W total system power usage.

Because CUDA has been adapted towards a workload better suited for the software used in Self Driving cars.

AMD doesn't give a shit about making their own tablets and TVs. Nvidia has never even turned close to a profit on their tablets, they're so poorly received that nobody wants them. No company is even interested in the chips in them.

ARM and Qualcomm arent strictly in the PC market, they're still buoyed by the strong mobile market.

what makes AMD special
>>
>>54170485
>but that is big enough for AMD to not develop their own version of tegra

AMD hasn't entered the mobile space, that is true, and it likely has something to do with efficiency problems. However, for a desktop or so, that's not relevant. You see, 50W is not a lot. That's like leaving a lightbulb on, and it's only ever the case under particularly high load.

On a year over year basis, they don't make money.

if you make 20 million in 3 months and then lose 350 million in 10 months time, that puts you into the negative,
Maybe we should go into more detail and say that every other Wednesday before AMD has payroll to pay it has LOTS of cash on hand and is a healthy company. Come Friday they are broke.

You can come up with whatever way you want to spin this, like saying they make money on Monday and lose money Tuesday to Friday, but its ok you see, they made money on Monday so they are doing just fine.

>>
>>54167288
>On the CPU side, I just want them to at least match Haswell.

I think I remember seeing suggestions (on bits&chips iirc) that typical Zen 'IPC' is around the same as broadwell, a little behind skylake. Early samples are clocking about 3GHz which is faster than early bulldozer samples clocked at so there's high hopes for eventual clocks >4GHz.

The memory controller is licensed from a third party, I think it's only good for about DDR4-2400 so as usual AMD are behind Intel there.

The big news is consumer Zen will be 8-core with SMT (not 4-core, though obviously a 4-core variant will exist). This is the reason broadwell-e is going to include a 10-core chip because otherwise there would be a very real risk of AMD chips winning benchmarks outright in the consumer space, and not just against LGA115X i7s.

The big unknown is how many memory channels Zen, and Bristol Ridge for that matter, will have. The AM4 socket pin count is up by about a third to 1331, again according to B&C, so triple channel is definitely possible, but it seems more likely it'll be dual channel (not necessarily a major issue given how much bandwidth DDR4 has) and the extra pins over LGA115X will go into PCIe lanes. Honestly I'm not really sure, I don't know enough about such things to accurately speculate about what that pin count would or wouldn't enable.

it's dual channel. the extra pins are because AMD plans to make am4 compatible with both their new cpus and apus.
