… Credit: AMD But Epyc Venice is likely to be an absolute monster platform for compute, especially for AI. AMD claims that these chips can operate up to 1.7 times the speed of last-generation Epyc CPUs, and since core counts are only increasing by a third 256 vs 192 , that's a major leap. …
… But the RX GRE claims performance at RTX 5070 levels, about 25% faster than a 5060 Ti 16GB across the board. In some cases, though, like Monster Hunter Wilds, AMD claims it can be as much as 40% faster. …
… The chips are split into four distinct ranges: the Epyc 9006 Venice family with socket SP7 designed for mainstream servers; Epyc 9006 on socket SP8 for enterprises for optimized performance per node; Epyc 9006X on SP7 for high-performance computing with large cache; and Epyc 9007 LP Verano, for AI … …
… Power efficiency has improved substantially, with claims of a 1.5x improvement over GCN. A relatively small percentage of the total benefit of Navi is attributed to 7nm silicon, and AMD did not explain where it spent the chip's transistor budget in any detail. …
… It's fully compatible with AMD's FreeSync technology, and AMD claims it can improve frame rate responsiveness , not just improve power consumption. …
… ATX 12V 2.3 added higher efficiency targets and allowed for the provision of more than 20 amps per 12V rail. …
… That's quite a lot of EUs, but it will be going up against AMD's Dragon Range . AMD claims its upcoming mobile platform will allow it to achieve "gaming dominance" over Intel, so that will be a cage match for sure. …
… Improving how efficiently power moves across the chip is critical to overall GPU efficiency. Finally, there's straight performance per clock. AMD is suggesting that 21 percent of their 54 percent uplift over RDNA came from general efficiency improvements within the GPU itself. …
… We don't have details about the performance of the new GPU -- not even the vague 'X percent better' claims we usually see in these announcements. …
… Any additional gains AMD picked up for RDNA 2.0 over 1.0 would also factor in, though we don't actually have many details on how different the two architectures are, beyond the fact that RDNA 2.0 supports ray tracing and variable rate shading. …
