  9. AMD has already released its first for one of their CPU architectures, specifically :

    youtu.be/JplSooSb30o

    This is quite big, as it means they are replacing its AGESA with an BIOS.

    And it will be the future for newer Zen's too.

  10. AMD has already released its first #openSIL #BIOS for one of their CPU architectures, specifically #Zen4:

    youtu.be/JplSooSb30o

    This is quite big, as it means they are replacing its #ClosedSource AGESA with an #OpenSource BIOS.

    And it will be the future for newer Zen's too.

  14. Hey #Valve, here is an idea:

    The "Steam Dock", a 1080p@60 machine:

    - Valve Freemont SoC (6@12 Zen4, RX 7600 RDNA3)
    - Steam OS
    - 16GB RAM (8 DDR5 + 8 GDDR6)
    - 512GB / 1TB

    * $199, no controller + 512GB
    * $249, with controller + 512GB
    * $299, with controller + 1TB

    It's basically free money. Hell, I'm throwing my wallet right now to the screen as I'm writing this.

  19. If #Valve can push a console for $199, they will own the market.

    wccftech.com/valve-fremont-spo

    For such old hardware (#Zen4 and #RDNA3), I don’t think they’re aiming for premium price but something that runs well and is accesible. Much like the #SteamDeck.

  24. Sizing up #MI300A’s #GPU
    It’s well ahead of #Nvidia’s #H100 PCIe for just about every major category of 32- or 64-bit operations. MI300A can achieve 113.2 TFLOPS of #FP32 throughput, with each FMA counting as two floating point operations. For comparison, H100 PCIe achieved 49.3 TFLOPS in same test.
    #AMD cut down #MI300X’s GPU to create MI300A. 24 #Zen4 cores is a lot of #CPU power, and occupies one quadrant on the MI300 chip. But MI300’s main attraction is still the GPU.

  29. How to make any #AMD Zen #CPU always generate 4 from RDRAND
    "We have demonstrated the ability to craft arbitrary malicious microcode patches on Zen 1 through #Zen4 CPUs," the Google #Security Team said.
    "The #vulnerability is that the CPU uses an insecure hash function in the signature validation for #microcode updates."
    The flaw listed as CVE-2024-56161 with a CVSS score of 7.2 out of 10, was discovered and reported to AMD in September, and a fix was devised by December.

  35. In other words, Intel didn't design their #ArrowLake architecture with #3DVcache in mind, so consumers will have to wait years for something similar.

    What's worse, AMD has 3D V-Cache processors for $200, $300, $400 and $500. Regardless of benchmarks, X3D = gaming and Intel has no direct response.

  36. You know? I'm also targeting previous gen sales.

    It's either a giant leap with #AppleM4, or just almost-same performance with the prior #Zen4 and #MeteorLake laptops. I can trade efficiency if that's the case.
