I kinda struggle to figure out who in China can afford to buy these things. Even in Beijing, median salary is like $1.5k/month and it falls off fast everywhere else.

Those above the median. Which can still be a lot with over 1 billion population. Why does Tesla have a factory there, other than to get their IP stolen?

Businesses might use them, but some are more interested in smuggled 5090s, A100s, H100s, etc.

Wow, based:

Yes. I got mine on sale and honestly, its great. Just dont pair it with a low end cpu.

i hope future intel gpu's can be x16 instead of x8, i am on hopium to have the used 2700 i bought delivered tomorrow so i can finish my PCIe-3.0 pulter, then i will only check new pc parts once DDR6 rolls out, i ain't buying a 5700.
all of this shit because i got a shitty kingdian nvme :sighduck:

also while i'm at it, i haven't found one single video about lossless scaling with a R9 fury and a vega 64, damn.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 to feature 18Gbps 8GB of GDDR6 memory

RX 9060 non-XT is OEM-only, with 28/32 CUs and slower memory.

AMD Readies Two New 3D V-Cache Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” Desktop CPUs, 8 Core With 96 MB & 16 Core With 192 MB “Dual X3D”

A rumormonger is claiming that AMD will finally make the dual-cache 16-core that folx have been clamoring for. That's a 30W higher TDP than the existing 9950X3D.

The 9800X3D already has a 120W TDP, so no idea about the 8-core. It's either clocked lower or higher, probably lower. The 9800X3D was released in November 2024, 9900X3D/9950X3D in March 2025.

I mean, ddr6 is probs going to come out mid next year, so thats proabably a good call.

I don't think so, not for consumer. Zen 6 will be using DDR5 on AM5 in 2026. A leaker has said Nova Lake will support DDR5-8000 out of the box. If Intel has another gen on the same LGA1954 socket (lol), that would use DDR5 too, in 2027.

I guess Zen 7 on AM6 will be the first to use DDR6, in late 2027 or early 2028.

I meant to say that it was going to be announced sometime in 2026. The actual release is probably in the 2027 ballpark.

They had on I think their Computex show last year that AM5 was going to be supported until 2028. So my theory is that 2028 will be the year they come out with AM6. DDR5 only came out in 2020, so if it's anything like the gap between the previous generations there'll be at least another 2 years before either Intel or AMD come out with anything DDR6 related. I am really hoping AMD puts a lot more effort into memory so we can have things like LPCAMM and CPUs that can handle the higher memory frequencies.

They are talking about how they've supported AM4 for 9 years considering "new" releases. It's marketing wordplay, can't trust it. DDR6 is out whenever Zen 7 is being sold. 2028 is a good bet that factors in TSMC/industry delays. But usually they get a major generation out less than 24 months after the previous one.

I'm not expecting much from CAMM until proven otherwise, especially on desktop. CUDIMM clock drivers should probably become mandatory. AMD won't disappoint on memory speeds challenge, impossible. But it probably won't matter, again.
