As the first fully HSA 1.0 compliant chip I'm really hoping Carrizo isn't only going to be released on mobile platforms.
I wish for a new FX that can hit intel's i7.
It will be a win win for amd and intel customers for sure, because it will make intel finally drop the prices.
Definitely. That is exactly what we need :)Quote:

I have read some rumours that AMD will be making new high end CPU's in 2016 with a 14nm manufacturing process. I really hope this is true.Quote:

So no more modular architecture as AMD will implement genuine full fat cores. Jim Keller himself has said the new zen core is a very good design. The rumors are that AMD's flagship cpu will have 12 cores at 6GHz each core. I hope so, as AMD were the first to break the 1GHz barrier for cpu's and gpu's and they were the first to make dual, quad, hex and octa cores. So I think there could be some truth in this rumour. However, I really hope AMD don't go the same way as intel and reduce the number of cpu cores (since test samples of the new zen core is very fast and efficient). I had a 4790K and it was totally useless when it came to handling heavy multi-threaded workloads. Turned out intel's 'virtual cores' is a very poor substitute for actual physical cores. In the end, I went for an FX9590 and it is working like a dream.

A 12 core 6GHz chip using "full fat" cores? I'll believe it when I see it and it's not a 300W water-cooled behemoth.Quote:

Still over a year to wait :S
