#Threadripper CPUs

[phonemantra-blog]

The company reported for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 A few days after Intel, AMD also published its financial report. The company has completed the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. [caption id="attachment_78911" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD's[/caption] If Intel's revenue decreased and net profit fell by more than 70%, then AMD's situation is better. Revenue rose 8% to $5.8 billion, and operating profit amounted to $224 million versus a loss of $64 million a year earlier. Net income rose more than 1,000% to $299 million. AMD's net profit grew by 1000% and equaled Intel's net profit By the way, Intel's net profit was only $1 million higher, which is very interesting. At the same time, Intel's revenue is almost 2.5 times higher than that of its competitor. It’s also worth noting that the data center products segment did not grow year-on-year in the past quarter, although it has been actively driving AMD’s revenue upward in recent years. But sales in the consumer segment increased by 42%, mainly due to the full entry into the market of Ryzen 7000 mobile APUs. AMD's gaming business fell 8% due to lower revenue from sales of semi-custom products.

Share Your Anecdotes: Multicore Pessimisation

I took a look at the specs of new 7000 series Threadripper CPUs, and I really don't have any excuse to buy one, even if I had the money to spare. I thought long and hard about different workloads, but nothing came to mind.

Back in university, we had courses about map/reduce clusters, and I experimented with parallel interpreters for Prolog, and distributed computing systems. What I learned is that the potential performance gains from better data structures and algorithms trump the performance gains from fancy hardware, and that there is more to be gained from using the GPU or from re-writing the performance-critical sections in C and making sure your data structures take up less memory than from multi-threaded code. Of course, all this is especially important when you are working in pure Python, because of the GIL.

The performance penalty of parallelisation hits even harder when you try to distribute your computation between different computers over the network, and the overhead of serialisation, communication, and scheduling work can easily exceed the gains of parallel computation, especially for small to medium workloads. If you benchmark your Hadoop cluster on a toy problem, you may well find that it's faster to solve your toy problem on one desktop PC than a whole cluster, because it's a toy problem, and the gains only kick in when your data set is too big to fit on a single computer.

The new Threadripper got me thinking: Has this happened to somebody with just a multicore CPU? Is there software that performs better with 2 cores than with just one, and better with 4 cores than with 2, but substantially worse with 64? It could happen! Deadlocks, livelocks, weird inter-process communication issues where you have one process per core and every one of the 64 processes communicates with the other 63 via pipes? There could be software that has a badly optimised main thread, or a badly optimised work unit scheduler, and the limiting factor is single-thread performance of that scheduler that needs to distribute and integrate work units for 64 threads, to the point where the worker threads are mostly idling and only one core is at 100%.

I am not trying to blame any programmer if this happens. Most likely such software was developed back when quad-core CPUs were a new thing, or even back when there were multi-CPU-socket mainboards, and the developer never imagined that one day there would be Threadrippers on the consumer market. Programs from back then, built for Windows XP, could still run on Windows 10 or 11.

In spite of all this, I suspect that this kind of problem is quite rare in practice. It requires software that spawns one thread or one process per core, but which is deoptimised for more cores, maybe written under the assumption that users have for two to six CPU cores, a user who can afford a Threadripper, and needs a Threadripper, and a workload where the problem is noticeable. You wouldn't get a Threadripper in the first place if it made your workflows slower, so that hypothetical user probably has one main workload that really benefits from the many cores, and another that doesn't.

So, has this happened to you? Dou you have a Threadripper at work? Do you work in bioinformatics or visual effects? Do you encode a lot of video? Do you know a guy who does? Do you own a Threadripper or an Ampere just for the hell of it? Or have you tried to build a Hadoop/Beowulf/OpenMP cluster, only to have your code run slower?

I would love to hear from you.

youtube to me is the speedrun analysis+vintage hardware decompilation videos machine. every video i watch is titled some shit like Racing the Beam Explained - Atari 2600 CPU vs. CRT Television or SSL Pyramid from Lower Entrance A Presses (Inside 1xA, Puzzle 1xA) or 100 Copies of Doom vs Threadripper 7995WX PRO 96-core 192-thread CPU or some shit. I think my version of the website is better

Honestly, this can't last. It'll collapse eventually, and when it does a *lot* of things are going to end up in landfills. Cloud computing was supposed to be cheaper, easier, more scalable, but as time's gone on the price gouging by both hardware vendors and the hyperscalers that provide the services has made it less and less viable for most people and organizations to opt for cloud storage and compute. I can't find the exact quote right now, but Wendell from Level1Techs once made a really good point about how it used to be that you would just buy a thinclient, and hook it up to a cloud compute server, and you wouldn't have to worry about stocking and maintaining expensive hardware. But nowadays, the cost of cloud storage and compute and honestly even the thinclients is so ridiculously astronomical that in a lot of cases organizations are better off just getting high power NUCs instead, since while yes a fleet of those might cost you fifty-odd thousand dollars, you will have already made that money back in a year from all the cloud subscriptions you aren't paying anymore.

And again, as much as hyperscalers like IBM and Google are to blame for this, the hardware vendors are equally to blame. Nvidia's getting as high as 1000% margins on some of their products, and AMD isn't far behind. Intel is thankfully still willing to price themselves into categories that their competitors sneer at, but that's only gonna last until they get established in the dGPU business again (shoutout Knight's Landing my beloved), which would also propel their CPU offerings higher (and frankly at the moment I trust Sapphire Rapids more than I do Threadripper, don't think we forgot about what you did to TR5000 you bastards), which are significantly higher margin products due to being produced directly by Intel Foundry Services rather than an external fab (namely TSMC) like their GPUs are.

So yeah, give it a bit, the bubble will burst soon enough and if it doesn't hopefully USB4 PCIe passthrough catches on on phones and other mobile devices. Fingers fucking crossed. And if we're feeling brave let's maybe pray that USB-IF writes a USB standard that actually includes all the features instead of me having to buy Thunderbolt cables.

smartphone storage plateauing in favor of just storing everything in the cloud is such dogshit. i should be able to have like a fucking terabyte of data on my phone at this point. i hate the fucking cloud

A Step-by-Step Guide to Pairing AMD CPUs with the Right Components

Building a PC with an AMD CPU offers power and flexibility, but selecting the right components ensures optimal performance and stability. Here’s a summary of essential considerations:

AMD CPU Sockets: The most common sockets are AM4 (for Ryzen CPUs), sTRX4 (for high-end Threadripper CPUs), and SP3 (for EPYC processors in servers). For most consumer builds, AM4 is the go-to socket.

Chipset Selection: Chipsets like A320 (entry-level), B450/B550 (mid-range), and X470/X570 (high-end) offer varying features like overclocking and PCIe 4.0 support. The B450/B550 is good for gaming, while the X570 is suited for high-performance builds.

RAM Compatibility: Ryzen CPUs benefit from faster RAM speeds, with dual-channel setups typically used. Ensure compatibility by selecting RAM from the motherboard’s Qualified Vendor List (QVL). 16GB is adequate for general use, but heavy tasks may require 32GB+.

Power Supply (PSU): Choose a PSU with sufficient wattage (500W–650W for standard builds, 750W+ for high-end) and an 80 PLUS efficiency rating. Modular PSUs help with cable management and airflow.

Storage: For fast boot and load times, use an NVMe SSD, and consider a large HDD for additional storage. SATA SSDs are also a good option for everyday use.

Cooling Solutions: Effective cooling is vital, especially for overclocked CPUs. Air coolers work for most builds, but liquid coolers (AIO) or custom water cooling are better for high-end systems.

GPU Compatibility: Pair your AMD CPU with a suitable GPU for gaming (e.g., AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA RTX 3060) or content creation (e.g., RX 6900 XT, RTX 3080). Ensure the CPU and GPU complement each other to avoid bottlenecks.

BIOS Updates: Check and update the BIOS to ensure compatibility with newer Ryzen models and ensure your motherboard supports your CPU.

Expansion Options: Consider future upgrades by checking the number of PCIe slots, USB ports, and M.2/SATA slots available on the motherboard.

Form Factor: Choose a motherboard size (ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX) that fits your case and provides adequate expansion slots and airflow.

In conclusion, understanding the compatibility of each component ensures a smooth build process and a reliable, high-performance AMD-based PC.

AMD Prozessoren mit Sicherheitslücken

Nun scheint nach Intel auch AMD ein Problem mit Sicherheitslücken in Prozessoren zu haben. Eine AMD-Seite zählt 26 Prozessoren und Familien auf, die angreifbar sind. Der Schweregrad der Sicherheitslücke liegt nach CVSS bei 7.5 von 10 und ist somit hochgefährlich. Das erste Interview zum Thema Sicherheitslücken in aktuellen AMD-Prozessoren führte das Online-Magazin Wired. Sicherheitsforscher haben eine Sicherheitslücke entdeckt, die wohl seit Jahrzehnten in AMD-Prozessoren vorhanden ist. Diese Lücke kann es Malware ermöglichen ganz tief in den Speicher des PCs einzudringen und sich dort einzunisten. Laut den Forschern ist es dann günstiger die CPU auszutauschen oder den Rechner zu entsorgen, aber der Versuch ihn von der Malware zu reinigen. Dutzende Modelle von AMD-Prozessoren betroffen Auf der Hackerkonferenz Defcon wurde die Sicherheitslücke unter dem Namen "Sinkclose" vorgestellt. Dabei soll es möglich sein in einen bestimmten Speicherteil, der für die Firmware reserviert ist, Code zu platzieren. Die Forscher warnten zwar, dass alle AMD-Chips bis 2006 betroffen sein könnten, aber nun hat AMD eine eigene Liste veröffentlicht, auf der 26 Modelle und Familien genannt sind. Die Liste zählt neben alten Namen wie Athlon auch neuere Namen wie Threadripper und sehr viele Ryzen-Modelle auf. Kriminologen und Forscher haben die schlimme Befürchtung, dass insbesondere staatliche Hacker die Sicherheitslücke ausnutzen werden. Einige Prozessoren, wie AMD EPYC sind Rechenzentrumsprodukte und arbeiten dort für viele Server. Die Experten meinten auch, dass eine Entfernung einer Malware nur noch per hardwarebasierten Programmiertool namens SPI Flash Programmer möglich sei. Aber viele der Prozessoren stecken auch in Mitarbeiter-PCs in Unternehmen und KMU. Daher empfiehlt AMD das Update der Firmware um die Lücke zu schließen. Bei einigen Prozessoren und Familien ist das Update aber noch nicht fertig und sind für Oktober angekündigt. Die Updates kommen aber nicht von AMD, sondern von den PC-Herstellern.

How to Choose the Best Processor for Your Laptop or Computer

Choosing the right processor for your laptop or computer can be a daunting task, especially with the myriad of options available in the market today. The processor, often referred to as the CPU (Central Processing Unit), is the brain of your computer. It determines how fast your machine can perform tasks and handle applications. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to make an informed decision and choose the best processor for your needs.

Understanding the Basics: What is a Processor?

A processor is a small chip that sits inside your computer and carries out instructions from programs by performing basic arithmetic, logic, control, and input/output operations specified by the instructions. Essentially, the processor's performance impacts almost every aspect of your computer's speed and capability.

Key Factors to Consider

When selecting a processor, there are several key factors you should consider to ensure you get the best performance for your needs:

1. Usage Needs

Your specific needs will largely determine the type of processor you should get. Here’s a breakdown of different use cases:

Basic Use (Web Browsing, Office Applications): If you primarily use your computer for tasks like web browsing, email, and office applications (Word, Excel), you won't need a high-end processor. An Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 should suffice.

Multitasking and Multimedia (Photo Editing, Streaming): For more demanding tasks such as photo editing, streaming, and running multiple applications simultaneously, consider an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5.

Gaming and Content Creation (Video Editing, 3D Rendering): Gamers and content creators need more power. High-performance processors like Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 are better suited for these tasks.

Professional Workstations (Software Development, Data Analysis): For professional-grade applications and heavy multitasking, you might need Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper processors.

2. Core Count and Threads

Cores: Modern processors come with multiple cores, which are essentially individual processing units within the CPU. More cores allow your computer to handle more tasks simultaneously. For example, a quad-core processor has four cores.

Threads: Threads are the virtual version of cores and represent the number of tasks a CPU can handle at once. A processor with hyper-threading (Intel) or simultaneous multithreading (AMD) can handle more threads than its core count. For instance, a quad-core processor with hyper-threading can handle eight threads.

3. Clock Speed

Clock speed, measured in gigahertz (GHz), indicates how many cycles a processor can perform per second. Higher clock speeds generally mean faster performance, but this isn’t the only factor. A higher clock speed in a more efficient architecture can outperform a higher speed in an older architecture.

4. Cache Size

Cache is a small amount of very fast memory located on the CPU. It stores frequently accessed data and instructions to speed up processing. Larger caches can improve performance, especially in tasks that require a lot of repetitive actions.

5. Thermal Design Power (TDP)

TDP, measured in watts, indicates the amount of heat a CPU generates under maximum load. Lower TDP means less heat and potentially quieter cooling solutions, while higher TDP indicates better performance but may require more robust cooling.

6. Integrated Graphics

If you don't plan on using a separate graphics card, you’ll want a processor with strong integrated graphics. Intel’s processors with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and AMD’s Ryzen APUs with Radeon Graphics offer good performance for light gaming and multimedia tasks.

Popular Processor Families

Intel Processors

Intel Core i3: Entry-level, good for basic tasks.

Intel Core i5: Mid-range, suitable for most users.

Intel Core i7: High-end, great for gaming and content creation.

Intel Core i9: Top-of-the-line, for the most demanding applications.

Intel Xeon: Designed for workstations and servers, excellent for professional use.

AMD Processors

AMD Ryzen 3: Entry-level, similar to Intel Core i3.

AMD Ryzen 5: Mid-range, competitive with Intel Core i5.

AMD Ryzen 7: High-end, comparable to Intel Core i7.

AMD Ryzen 9: Enthusiast level, rivals Intel Core i9.

AMD Threadripper: Extremely powerful, for professional and heavy-duty tasks.

Intel vs. AMD: Which to Choose?

The Intel vs. AMD debate is ongoing, but both brands offer excellent processors. Your choice may come down to specific use cases, budget, and personal preference:

Intel: Known for strong single-core performance and higher clock speeds. Intel processors are often favored for gaming and applications that rely heavily on single-thread performance.

AMD: Offers excellent multi-core performance and value for money. AMD Ryzen processors have become very popular for multitasking, productivity, and gaming, often providing more cores and threads at a lower price point compared to Intel.

Future-Proofing Your Purchase

When investing in a processor, consider future-proofing to ensure your system remains relevant for several years. Here are some tips:

Go for More Cores and Threads: As software becomes more advanced, it increasingly takes advantage of multiple cores and threads.

Higher Clock Speeds: While not the only factor, a higher clock speed can help keep your system running smoothly for longer.

Newer Architectures: Choose processors based on the latest architectures, as they offer better performance and efficiency.

Upgradability: Ensure your motherboard supports potential future upgrades to avoid needing a complete overhaul.

Conclusion

Choosing the best processor for your laptop or computer involves understanding your specific needs, comparing core counts, clock speeds, and other specifications, and considering your budget. Whether you lean towards Intel or AMD, there are excellent options available across all price points. By keeping the factors discussed in this guide in mind, you can make an informed decision and enjoy optimal performance from your new computer.

A CPU Ryzen Threadripper 7995WX da AMD é uma besta de chip, quebrando recordes de desempenho multi-threaded, mas também possui capacidades de computação FP32 surpreendentemente altas que estão no mesmo nível de algumas das GPUs mais populares do mercado e mais rápidas do que os consoles de jogos mais recentes. A CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX tem impressionantes capacidades de computação FP32: mais TFLOPs do que os consoles Xbox Series X e PS5 O AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO oferece 96 núcleos, 192 threads, 384 MB de cache L3 e tem velocidades de clock de até 5,15 GHz em um pacote TDP de 350W. Embora o chip seja projetado para estações de trabalho e PCs desktop de última geração, parece que o chip também pode oferecer alguns recursos decentes de emulação de software diretamente da CPU. Nas métricas de desempenho do chip compartilhado no Github (via @InstLatX64), podemos ver que o chip oferece até 12,16 TFLOPs de FP32 (precisão única) e 6,0 TFLOPs de desempenho de computação FP64 (precisão dupla) dentro do benchmark AIDA64 GPGPU. O benchmark usa um código de máquina x64 nativo e não deve ser comparado aos benchmarks de GPU que usam a API OpenCL e destinam-se exclusivamente a estudos comparativos. Uma CPU Intel Core i9-13900K oferece tapume de 2,5 TFLOPs de desempenho FP32, logo você obtém quase 5x a melhoria com o Threadripper 7995WX. Manadeira da imagem: Github Mas vamos passar para a segmento mais divertida que é uma confrontação com os consoles de jogos da geração atual da Microsoft e da Sony. O PlayStation 5 oferece um pico de computação FP32 de 10,29 TFLOPs, enquanto o Xbox Series X oferece até 12,15 TFLOPs de computação. A CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX não exclusivamente está avante de ambos os consoles de jogos em termos de TFLOPs brutos, mas está quase no mesmo nível da NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12,7 TFLOPs), a GPU mais popular na Pesquisa de Hardware do Steam. Isso é um pouco realmente impressionante e com a quantidade de poder de computação que a CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX é capaz de oferecer, poderemos vê-lo rodar o Crysis sozinho na CPU em um horizonte próximo. Uma coisa que esses benchmarks deixaram evidente é que não há outra CPU na indústria que corresponda às proezas e capacidades do 7995WX e das CPUs Ryzen Threadripper 7000 com Zen 4 em universal. Esses chips são a solução definitiva para geração de teor, IA, renderização e qualquer forma de tarefas multithreading. Manadeira de notícias: HXL (@9550pro) Compartilhe esta história Facebook Twitter
