this looks like a great release upon AMDs part. It is really nice to have an alternative to Intel that doesn’t completely suck!
Lots of (said reliable) resources claimed Navi will still be a GCN design, albeit improved.

Quite frankly, that sucks for me. I'd prefer to stick to PCIe 3, that's still ample bandwidth for SSDs (and GPUs aswell). Hope some non-enthusiast chipsets will fit my needs (while still coming with modern connectivity), 10W more is alot and I really hate chipset fans.

No mention of the PSP being either open sourced or firmware-disable-able.
Would also love to see X579 coreboot support... and to see pigs fly...
Really takes the wind out of the sails on these new releases to think how hugely my privacy and security gets regressed in considering it.

Will PCIe 4 in Navi require using X570 chipset and new motherboards?
Originally posted by DoMiNeLa10 View PostInteresting. I'll wait for Zen2+, DDR5 and GPUs from Intel before I go out to get a new computer. Even though RAM costs peanuts nowadays, I'd rather go for something that will perform much better, and where I'll be able to upgrade the CPU if I need to.

Nothing really too exciting here:
Lower rated TDP though it will be interesting to see actual power consumption in practice.
The "new" Ryzen 9 3900X appears to be a Threadripper 2920X with more total cache, lower memory bandwidth (TR used quad channel memory 3900X seems to use dual channel) and fewer PCI-E lanes (40 for the 3900X, 64 for the 2920X).
Considering that the 3900X is said to be launching at $500 and the 2920X is still selling for $550 (down from about $800 at launch), I expect the 3900X to possible be a bit faster in cache sensitive workloads, due to the greater cache size and slightly higher clock speed; slower in memory intensive workloads due to the lower bandwidth and maybe faster in AVX intensive workloads, assuming AMD actually beefed up the SIMD units on Zen 2.
For me, the only interesting parts will be when the Zen 2 APU's are released, an 8C/16T APU is probably the only processor that could tempt me to upgrade at this point in time.

RDNA is the name of the architecture (in the same way as GCN)
Navi is the codename of the chips (in the same way as Polaris).
