Daily Tech News 28 February 2023

Top Story

AMD's top-of-the-line Ryzen 7950X3D is here and is a thing that exists. (AnandTech)

One the one hand, it's very fast in most games and for heavy multi-threaded workloads like rendering animated films or compiling the entire Linux kernel, though in the latter case it's usually a little slow than the regular 7950X.

On the other hand, for simpler single-threaded applications it can be slower than much cheaper chips like the Ryzen 7600 or Intel's 13600K.

The reason is that the 7950X3D has mismatched cores. One chiplet runs at full speed, while the other chiplet runs several hundred megahertz slower but has an extra 64MB of cache.

That means that you want to run your programs on the chiplet that gives the best results for that particular code. For games that's usually the chiplet with the cache; for applications it's usually the other one. AMD has driver software for Windows to do this automatically but it doesn't always pick the right cores.

If your task uses all sixteen cores then it doesn't matter and you're off to the races. If you pick the right game you can also see huge performance gains over any other chip. But it the driver picks the wrong core things might slow down by 12% or so against the regular - and cheaper - 7950X.

If you're building a gaming system you will probably want to wait for the 7800X3D, which has none of this complexity. If you're building a server or a workstation, you'll be fine with the regular 7950X - or the 7900X, or the 7900.

The one notable - very, very notable - thing that comes out of these benchmarks is that while the 7950X3D is a 120W part and Intel's competing 13900K is a 125W part, under full load the AMD chip uses 140W and the Intel chip uses 330W.

Which is far too much. Don't buy the 13900K. Even the 13600K uses 100W more than the 7950X3D.

You can dial down the power consumption of both AMD and Intel chips. AMD's chips suffer minimal performance loss until you get to really low power consumption, while the performance impact on Intel chips is immediate and significant.

Tech News

How does the Ryzen 7950X3D perform under Linux? It's complicated. (Phoronix)

On a geometric mean of 400 benchmarks (!) it's 3% slower than the regular 7950X while using 40% less power. Compared to the 13900K it's 11% faster while again using 40% less power.

On some specific benchmarks that extra cache lets it blow everything else out of the water, so if you are running some specific computational kernel, it's worth taking a look through those benchmarks; you might get a 50% speedup over any other desktop chip at minimal cost.
Leaks have revealed the details of the Z890 for Intel's Meteor Lake-S desktop CPUs - which other leaks suggest have been cancelled. (WCCFTech)

There will be Meteor Lake laptop chips, but desktops are probably stuck with, uh, hang on... With Raptor Lake until next year.
The TP-Link TL-SH1832 is a fanless 24 port 2.5Gb Ethernet switch with 8 10GbE SFP+ ports that costs as little as $400 if you could buy it which you mostly can't. (Serve the Home)

I'd rather that the SFP+ ports were RJ45, but it doesn't matter a whole lot if you can only get it via SuperBuy for Taobao.
Elon Musk has laid off more Twitter staff bringing the total employees down to around 2000, and is waving generous stock bonuses at the ones who made the cut. (The Verge)

Before Musk took over Twitter employed 7500 people directly plus over 5000 contractors, so he's cut costs rather significantly.
As one employee who was just laid off told me, "I think he's just tearing this thing down to the studs and trying to run as lean as possible till the market turns around."
Maybe hire that one back; he's smarter than the entire mainstream media put together.

Yes; FenSpouse looking at the story said, "How can they pass on the right?" But there certainly are inattentive people on the road looking at cell phones. I think I would like to have a day off from cell phone (( maybe it will be after this morning except for emergencies or work related thing) and I've decided to put it in the other room when he and I pray because immediately getting ads about sleeplessness after talking about that in prayer time is unnerving.

People management 101. Any company or platoon grade leader learns it, usually from a NCO. Consistent standards, explanations on why, with an absolute focus on safety. In the rare cases it gets bad, I used to sing. That unites the students to ask me to "Stop Singing!!!". Good times.

Now that I do not sing, they sit by me, and I ask how their day is going, what is their favorite class, and for the names of their pets.

115 Put this in your back pocket when Tax The Rich comes up.

The top income tax in 1962 was 91 percent. After deductions and credits, only 447 tax filers out of 71 million paid any taxes at the top rate.

Even when the top tax rate was lowered to 70%, not much changed. Only 3,626 out of 75 million taxpayers actually paid taxes up to 70%.

When Regan dropped the top rate to 28% collections from the Top 1% went up by 5% as it was easier to pay than to work the deductions.

the Fund can only be used for two purposes: to compensate eligible harmed consumers and, to the extent that victim payments are not practicable, to provide funding for consumer education and financial literacy programs. If victims cannot be located or it is otherwise not practicable to pay victims, the Bureau may keep the money in the Fund for victims in future cases, or the Bureau may use money in the Fund for consumer education and financial literacy programs.

192 That means that you want to run your programs on the chiplet that gives the best results for that particular code. For games that's usually the chiplet with the cache; for applications it's usually the other one. AMD has driver software for Windows to do this automatically but it doesn't always pick the right cores.

I watched the "Hardware Unboxed" video review (Their studio is in Austin, right?), and they made the same point. If it's just a software thing, then AMD will work it out with the software studios and the 7950 X3D will RULE. I liked their 78000 X3D "simulation" entry (HU turned off the "slow" chiplet) and it did very well with games. I suspect the "real" 7800 X3D will be well-tuned and ready to rumble.
