8 PCIe slots, 4 of them double wide, 64 PCIe lanes, 1.4 KW power supply, just need to figure out how to install Ubuntu on it

Lol, what a joke, a 15k+ desktop based on 8180 Platinum weaker than under 5k 2990x Zen based machine.smatovic wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 8:11 pmhttps://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

7/7 only Ryzen's. 3rd gen Zen's not before Q1 2020.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:13 pmThe new zen machines will have PCIe 4 communication.
July 7th, I think, for up to 16 cores. A bit more wait for something beefy.
We know that there will be a new threadripper, but timing for that one is shrouded in mystery
Yea, the CPU is lame compared to AMDs Threadripper/Epyc, and it is pricey,
Yea, AMD has currently the forehand, but Intel will switch 2020 or 2021 to 10nmDann Corbit wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:13 pmThe new zen machines will have PCIe 4 communication.

Considering that dot product in OpenCL is at least 10x slower than in cuDNN, probably no one.smatovic wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 7:36 amHmm, Apple ships them with an 2*2 AMD Radeon Pro Vega II GPU option,
up to 16384 cores, 128 GB HBM, 56.4 TFLOPs fp32, 112.8 TFLOPs fp16 in sum,
so the new Mac Pro competes with Nvidia's DGX-1 Station with 4 Voltas,
and these are pricey, 37K to 52K Euros...
so the question is, which dude will tune LC0 for Apple's AMD Vega II GPU

You can check LC0 benchmarks using cuDNN and NVIDIA RTX cards and using openCL and AMD RX Vega cards.smatovic wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:04 pmSources please.Milos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 11:47 amConsidering that dot product in OpenCL is at least 10x slower than in cuDNN, probably no one.smatovic wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 7:36 amHmm, Apple ships them with an 2*2 AMD Radeon Pro Vega II GPU option,
