Threadripper has played a significant role in helping AMD redefine itself in the CPU market. The original Threadripper spawned from the first round of Zen generation parts in 2017, pushed the core count up to 16―more cores than the gaming or professional computing segments had seen to date. Threadripper pushed the core count up so dramatically, it forced Intel to … Read more
In the beginning, back in when the fabulous 286 was introduced in 1982, several companies sought to clone it, AMD being the most successful. That started the MHz wars, and we users and the happy replicants of the war, the ISVs, enjoyed the bi-annual clock increases and subsequent performance boosts. Ah, those were the days when we have a simple … Read more
Fastest boot-to-shoot Enmotus, as you will recall, has designed some clever storage-blending coupled with machine learning to make frequently used applications and files first to load, and run. Is that important? And if it is, can you measure it, can you prove it? Yes, yes, and yes. We took an AMD Threadripper with an EVGA 1080Ti, and ran some tests … Read more

Company expands its footprint AMD has introduced two new product families—the AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 processor and AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor. AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 brings the power of “Zen” to a variety of new markets including networking, storage and edge computing devices, while AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 targets medical imaging, industrial systems, digital gaming and thin clients, according … Read more
2018 hopes to win over gamers and place big bets for HPC AMD’s mission for CES was to convince its OEM customers and PC users that it can keep up the momentum of its CPU and GPU technology developments and deliver on its promises. The company took a day before CES to lay out to press and analysts exactly what’s … Read more
Garners support from Dell, HP, and Lenovo It’s no secret AMD has long been eyeing a return to performance-focused PC markets. For the better part of a decade, AMD CPUs have effectively been locked out of markets like workstations for lack of competitive parts to pitch against Intel’s Core i7 and Xeon. But with Zen on the drawing board for … Read more
Tested and evaluated, and impressive Releasing two top end parts, the Ryzen Threadripper CPU, and the Radeon RX64 at the same time is a bit overwhelming when trying to do an evaluation of either one. To test the Ryzen Threadripper you need to use AMD and Nvidia AIBs. To test the Vega, you need to use AMD and Intel CPUs. … Read more
