AMPERE - A RAY TRACING MONSTER?! ALL-AMD MACBOOKS, ARE THEY POSSIBLE? BIG NAVI - WILL IT BE ENOUGH?

▶▶▶ A SHORT SUMMARY ◀◀◀ With the approaching release of new products from NVIDIA and AMD, I share my observations about Big Navi, the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, the state of innovation in the PC and gaming hardware as a whole and look at the idea of a MacBook with Ryzen and Radeon inside. ▶ Big Navi: ▵Required performance for Big Navi to be relevant ▶ Ampere: ▵HUGE improvements in RTX ▵Possible multiple dies on upcoming GPUs ▶ Innovation: ▵Evidence of slow-downs? ▵R&D vs time to market ▶▶▶ VIDEO ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/La8g83mwlwg ◀◀◀ ▶▶▶ Interesting links◀◀◀ ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX0nOGvN_oE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DetDeQWd9IM ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMai43jLd0Q ▶▶▶ MUSIC ◀◀◀ Above The Clouds by | e s c p | https://escp-music.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US ▶▶▶ DISCLAIMERS◀◀◀ I own only my words here.

PC Hardware rumor vocabulary; Big Navi, Ampere and Intel rumors

▶▶▶ A SHORT SUMMARY ◀◀◀ With tech rumors seeping into more and more tech channels and even written media outlets, I thought it would be nice to discuss their vocabulary or jargon. The idea is to see if that can help people sift through dubious or ambivalent statements more easily. [Added value]: the discussion includes some of the most popular rumors at the moment (at least the most interesting ones to me) and offers some short commentary on Big Navi, Ampere and Intel rumors. Ideally, most of these episodes will be followed by some more technical ones that will be included in an upcoming series. For now, though, here's a list of points of interest in this video: ▶ Ampere: ▵Why is more memory required and how it might affect the upcoming generation of GPUs? The idea here is that faster cores are going to require more memory and memory is energy expensive - reading/writing in it requires a lot of energy. 7nm (EUV) is a key part of the solution but architectural changes are necessary, too. ▵NVIDIA and games optimizations. ▵Price cuts? ▶ Big Navi: ▵Nah, probably no price cuts from NVIDIA ▵Why I'm already disappointed with Big Navi (which is NOT in the upcoming console gen) [hint: it's because I, too, have been riding the hype train] and why it's still going to be a great GPU? ▵How RTG has to catch up and what it takes to actually stay ahead once they do. ▶ Intel: ▵Short and simple: Intel are not going anywhere and even if AMD seems to be in the lead, they have so much to catch up on that even better products for years on end on AMD's part are not going to mean a level playing field. Intel has some of the best minds - and now they have Jim Keller and Raja Koduri (two of the best minds in the industry). I am glad, however, seeing them being somewhat punished for being asleep at the wheel for so long. I don't yet doubt they are going to be innovative and excited. Just... it's not going to be any time soon. ▶▶▶ VIDEO ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/QQsVStVPqBc ◀◀◀ ▶▶▶ A list of sources for information and rumors ◀◀◀ ▶ AMPERE: https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/ampere-release-date-specs-performance-rumours ▶ Big Navi: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/03/12/amd-navi-2x-release-date-price-specs/ ▶ Intel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9n9sgx5i9g ▶ Upcoming consoles and more information on new ways for doing RT: https://youtu.be/PW-7Y7GbsiY ▶▶▶ MUSIC ◀◀◀ Above The Clouds by | e s c p | https://escp-music.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US ▶▶▶ DISCLAIMERS◀◀◀ I own only my words here.
