AMD Press Conference at Computex

[rgMekanic]

Tonight is the Press conference for AMD at Computex 2017, where AMD will be showing off upcoming products and be doing some "never-before-seen hardware demonstrations."

Check out the livestream here.


The one-hour event will feature appearances by AMD technology partners and updates on current and upcoming AMD products, including never-before-seen hardware demonstrations shown by AMD President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su and Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Business Group, Jim Anderson.

Let me guess, it'll be a PC with a vega card, running at 4k, playing Doom on one monitor and sniper elite on another, while live streaming an AotS benchmark all at the same time while running at 60fps on hardware that's nowhere to actually be seen?

 

[digitalmango]

No prob =D

 

[rgMekanic]

Looks like a lot of partner machines in the background, but hopefully we get an answer to #WheresVega

 

[NKD]

Talk more talk more talk more. Give out vega stickers in the last minute after a demo. lol

Hey man, not cool....




AMD gives shirts.

 

[NKD]

30th anniversary in Taiwan. Shame if they don't announce or even give a timeline for vega lol.

 

[KazeoHin]

play along!

 

[RangerXML]

Threadripper tonight?

 

[NKD]

I know why RAJA is out. CUZ he just can't come directly to point. Lisa be like we are doing this this and this, NEXT! LOL

 

[rgMekanic]

Am I the only one who was hoping to see this guy?

 

[DrLobotomy]

Dell machines with AMD? wheeeee

 

[collegeboy69us]

watching this is painful.

And to be honest, I was mostly just watching because it's amusing seeing them talk about all the crap nobody actually cares about. Dell partnership "gaming" case that looks exactly like every other computer case for the past 20 years... uhhh okay.

 

[NKD]

Run em off stage! LOL. fuck all these PCs JESUS! So they found a way to waste time. Show all these computers. Thats 30 mins right there.

 

[SighTurtle]

Yeah if Threadripper or Vega don't get new info or release dates, I'm gonna say this will be a disappointing Computex for amd.

 

[rgMekanic]

That does not look like a "Spike"

 

[KazeoHin]

"We love PC"

 

[Azphira]

So where is the stuff that will keep me from using X299/ 1180 gtx next year?

lol I am sure it will be here well before next year.

APU news! FINALLY

50% more CPU power (duh)
40% more GPU performance
50% less power.

4 cores, 8 threads, Vega-based graphics. WHOO.

 

[ng4ever]

I am actually enjoying it!

 

[Ocellaris]

Hey look a new Ryzen laptop and stuck at only Radeon 580 graphics. That should get people excited /puke

 

[Goodlookinguy]

Vega was mentioned being in that laptop with a video playing. Fill in the Vega Demo bingo slot!

 

[NKD]

Well it looks like we know why vega gaming is on back seat. AMD seems to be fully focused on delivering APUs and Ryzen mobile and threadripper on time. CPUs is where its at for now guys. Gamers are going to have to wait it seems. I don't think they are too concerned about vega for gaming now. Plenty of miners are only helping their cause with the 580s being sold out everywhere.

 

[Ocellaris]

Why do these tards keep trying to claim an Intel CPU system can't stream games? Most people use GPUs to encode the streams anyway...

 

[rgMekanic]

Thank you for showing the same demo we saw months ago....

 

[travm]

maybe then can make some damn 580's so i can buy one. Ive been trying to buy one since about 3 weeks after launch (had to let the price settle). Had finger on trigger for a 470, then the bastards released 570/580, 470 went insta out of stock, prices went up, then stock dissapeared. Not happy.

That's fine, I've been eyeing the 1070 for quite a while. Guess it's time for Radeon to get carried by Ryzen.

 

[T4rd]

There's that Threadripper reveal.

 

[KazeoHin]

There's that Threadripper reveal.

What's better than announcing a product? ANNOUNCING IT TWICE!

In other news:

Every RTR chip has 64 lanes PCI-E

Every RTR Chip has 4 channel DDR4.

 

[rgMekanic]

X399 ....


I see what you did there.

 

[Ocellaris]

play along!

Bingo should be 5x5 squares, people can't even get that right... Must have been an AMD fan that made that

 

[T4rd]

It's bigger'n shiat! Lol

"It's a little bit bigger..."

*Holds up credit card sized CPU*

 

[KazeoHin]

That's a fat lil' chip...

AMD got BOOTY.

 

[DF-1]

congrats, my 1080 does (almost) 4k at those settings and framerates on prey. and its not 2 gpus.

 

[Goodlookinguy]

They showed actual Vega demos, but they couldn't seem to help but use 2+ GPUs at the same time for every demo. This I would take with some amount of worry.

 

[Ocellaris]

LOL consumer Vega announcement got pushed to July

 

[NKD]

End of July for Vega! Looks like HBM2 is to blame here and Frontier edition will be the one launched a month ahead.

 

[spintroniX]

end of july for consumer vega?

fail
