Refresh of am4 chips released august 2024.
Ryzen 7 5700X is the sweet spot. Gives +20% single, +50% multi thread. Cost July 30, 2024: $249CDN, save $130 (total $379CDN). Wait for better deal, it should cost $156US=216 CDN
SHOWS EXACTS SPECS OF CPU OR APU INCLUDING GRAPHICS
$249, at Canadacomputers, they also have open box for $224. BUY THIS, NOT THE AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT(VEGA7), BECAUSE THIS HAS VEGA8, FASTER THAN VEGA7, AND SAME AS VEGA8 ON LAPTOP 2500U.
Buy the Ryzen 5 5600GT (6 graphics cores, $189CDN) but also consider AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8 graphics cores, now on sale $245CDN)
$189 in Canadacomputers
8000G is the APU series for AI
This guy seems to claim ROCM can run on Tumbleweed using Distrobox. But what is distrobox?
Describes the GPU Kaggle is giving 30h a month on.
UMA buffer size is the size of memory used by APU. It is set on the motherboard, often limited to 2GB. But LLM AI could use 16GB or more.
Ryzen 7 5700X3d (no GPU) and 5600GT 9with GPU) are NEW 2024, still for am4 platform, check if motherboard supports and buy, probably the GT.
China has 3rd most advanced FAB?
Neuromorphic processor is composed of small cpu units, which receive spikes from 'upstream' units (connection=axon), integrate them, and when reach threshold, send the spike to 'downstream' units. For neuromorphic computing, the problem is set up by configuring the axons, which determine what neurons signal to what targets, as well as the code that determines when a neuron sends spikes. From there, the rules of the system determine how the spiking behavior evolves, either from the initial state or in response to further input. The solution can then be read out by examining the spiking behavior of different neurons. “Computation emerges from the interactions of the neurons,“ The end result of this competition is that the neurons that represent features present in the image will be actively spiking, while those that don't are relatively quiet.
