New AMD Zen CPU might have 32 threads... but only if the rumour is true http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/203210-leak...int-to-potent-amd-zen-cpu

We've gone from 1 to 8 core on the desktop in the first 10 years of the WCG
----------------------------------------Here's to where we'll be in 10 years from now |

Hope so but those 16 GB HBM are a bit difficult to believe - then again this part is for High Performance Computing and will probably not cost much less than $900 and the desktop versions will most likely not be as this. Probably less cores and HBM memory.

What about the technology used in the high end bitcoin mining machines?
----------------------------------------Is it multicore, like we could use, or just faster and faster with an overclocked supercooled something? The cheapest method is regular computing, also with GPU, which answers my question. Higher than that are custom bitcoin mining chips. Because Field Programmer Gate Array chips are customized for mining, they offer performance improvements over CPUs and GPUs. Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are specifically designed to do just one thing: mine bitcoins at mind-crushing speeds, with relatively low power consumption. Because these chips have to be designed specifically for that task and then fabricated, they are expensive and time-consuming to produce - but the speeds are stunning.

Bitcoin machines can only crunch SHA256 stuf (something like that).

I found an answer and edited the message ..... thanks ..... unless somebody comes out with medical disease bitcoins that have a certain shape and need other coins to interact with them. :-p

----------------------------------------http://wccftech.com/amd-officially-reveals-2016-cpu-roadmap-zen-k12/ I really hope it lives up to its potential - 40% IPC increase over Carrizo in the new 2016 Zen CPU.

Exciting news. If the increased performance is half of what they claim its going to be an exciting time once again for computing.
----------------------------------------I am very happy with my 6366he's which are (still) right up there in performance per watt with some of the latest intel chips. It'd be awesome if this new architecture made its way onto the G34 platform eventually. [Edit 1 times, last edit by FlynRyan at May 7, 2015 12:59:29 PM] |
