17:53:37 <hyc> new AMD GPUs, RDNA2 architecture, sounding good https://semiaccurate.com/2020/10/28/amd-radeon-6000-series-takes-the-gpu-crown/
18:07:03 <Inge-> now if only they have fixed the bloody PCIe reset bug
18:07:43 <sethsimmons> Weirdest part is they seem to have CPU-like cache?
18:07:50 <sethsimmons> 128MB “infinity cache”
18:12:14 <Inge-> unclear what that helps with?
18:13:02 <sech1> 128 MB cache = 64 RandomX threads, no?
18:13:25 <moneromooo> MB ?
18:13:27 <Inge-> if it is similar to L3 cache
18:13:46 <Inge-> moneromooo: 128MB "infinity cache", and 16GB DDR6 video ram
18:13:47 <moneromooo> Oh, nvm
18:16:29 <sech1> RX 6800 has 60 compute units, 1 RandomX thread per compute unit should have enough cache and will probably equal to 1 ARM core in performance
18:20:49 <derpy_bridge> <[discord] Kayla2#6505>: "now if only they have fixed the bloody PCIe reset bug" oddly enough am not experiencing it anymore on vega cards neither on ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04, like if there has been a kernel update that fixes it without me having to do anything, however was still having the issue on navi cards
18:23:59 <hyc> if that 128MB cache is as good as it sounds, should outperform ARM too
18:28:30 <sech1> I doubt they will have instructions for FP DIV/SQRT though
18:28:38 <sech1> directed rounding is there, but these two will be slow
18:29:07 <sech1> 64-bit FP will be generally slow too
18:30:45 <sech1> so let's say 50 h/s per compute unit, RX 6800 = 3000 h/s, 3 times faster than Vega 64
18:51:29 <hyc> quite a leap in perf
21:42:41 <gingeropolous> all those cryin over losing GPUs will rejoice
22:15:12 <hyc> after they sell all their old GPUs
22:15:24 <hyc> but that crowd would have been buying the new hotness anyway
