对于我们的建筑商来说，这是多么一年！许多人一直是有史以来最好的岁月之一。但是，这表明在2017年的整体炒作中宣传了整体炒作吗？在回顾2017年的那一年时，请继续阅读，并评估最大的发行版如何与他们的炒作相抵触。
Why has it seemed so good?
我个人认为，“有史以来最好的一年”一词的主要原因之一归结为多年以前。如果您回想起2016年，我们就有Intel CPU对AMD的一年历史的建筑进行了裁决。（尽管许多人喜欢如何超越那些旧筹码中的地狱！）
在GPU市场中，这通常是一样的，Nvidiareleasing their 10-series Pascal cards，摧毁了入门级GPU以外的所有东西，似乎几乎在它们下面。在那年没有重大竞争的情况下，这些来自英特尔和Nvidia的产品
所以我们表现出色；现在，我们希望有价值！
这就是为什么2017年如此受欢迎的原因。您可能甚至没有在2017年购买其中的一件新物品，但是由于竞争的突然繁荣，仍然令人印象深刻的2016年发行版获得了巨大的折扣，因为制造商突然不得不竞争我们来之不易的钱。
对我来说，这是一次令人着迷的旅程。我在今年1月加入了beplay软件逻辑增量，我一直与你们中的许多人在一起，创建了基于新版本的构建，并随着每个新版本的出现而感到兴奋。因此，当我们到达2017年底时，我回顾了一年的大量发行，看看他们是否辜负了炒作！
3月：AMD的禅宗建筑的推出
我觉得在这一年的这一点上，普通读者会知道我真的很喜欢AMD的CPU系列。Ryzen发射从AMD开始了主流CPU市场的竞争。然而，这一年也荡然无存地进入了他们更高端的性能螺纹掠夺者，一直到他们的服务器级EPYC。
Now although the average builder wouldn’t have any need for the up to 64 cores, 4 TB of memory, and 128 lanes of PCIe connectivity from EPYC, what this did do is make Intel wake up and get on the defensive. Although they didn’t have an answer for AMD’s release until later in the year, they slashed the prices on many of their CPUs in an attempt to prevent a mass exodus to AMD.
在发布之后的几个月中，此版本的景观略有变化。Threadripper独自坐在我们的Extremist build on the parts page，，，，only beaten off the top spot on there by a CPU double the price! This is something I might attempt to address shortly too, as EPYC are becoming more easily available…
无论如何，现在不建议大多数建筑商使用Ryzen 7 CPU我的编辑版本）。但是，我们仍然建议Ryzen 5和Ryzen 3CPU的价值以他们的绩效为金钱。
禅宗建筑是否辜负了炒作？
All told, regardless of if you personally purchased one or not, this is one release this year that certainly lived up to the hype. We got some genuinely powerful CPUs from AMD across the various performance brackets—which brought us much needed competition, driving down prices and giving us builders much better value for money!
4月：GTX 1080 TI发布
在NVIDIA的官方照片中看那个喜怒无常的照明！GTX 1080推出后的短短10个月来the monstrous GTX 1080 Ti。In what seemed like a big F U to the early adopters of the 10-series GPUs, the release of the 1080 Ti brought higher performance than the existing Titan at the time, allowing for 4K 60fps gaming off a single card for less than the insane $1200 Titan price tag.
Becoming the new big boy on the block, the 1080 Ti had gamers overjoyed and frustrated in equal measures, with some wondering how on earth NVIDIA made such a jump forwards less than a year after the first 10-series GPUs. This led some to wonder if NVIDIA knew they were so far ahead in performance that they could do essentially whatever they wanted to in the market and charge whatever they wanted for their products.
2018年看起来也不会改变。就在今年年底，我们已经看到了Titan V的发行，这是他们首次进入Volta Architecture。
Did the GTX 1080 Ti live up to the hype?
那么炒作值得吗？基于表现，我会说是的；但是，刷新时间和成本短的问题确实使水有点污染。
April: Radeon RX 5xx Refresh
当我第一次写builds for the RX 580 and 570回到他们的发布会上，我在纸上提到，这些看起来像是RX 4XX系列GPU的5-10％超频，价格相同。尽管不是超级开创的，但对于普通建筑商来说，这些GPU非常有用。随着性能的提升，RX 580和RX 570have been great for 1080p gaming, proving popular with everyone building shiny new AMD Ryzen builds!
那么这些GPU有什么问题？好吧，这取决于他们在我们的建筑社区的特定小节中变得多么受欢迎……THE DAMNED CRYPTOMINERS!!!!Manufacturers never really complain of course, yet for anyone not interested in cryptocurrency, the lack of availability and the price inflation really hurt.
RX 5XX系列是否辜负了炒作？
暂时，我会说是的。在今年年底，由于采矿再次恢复了一段不合适的时期，因此价格却缓慢地开始正常化。因此，这些又变得越来越值得！
7月：无论X299发射是什么…
天啊。还记得七月的缩略图吗？AMD推出Ryzen后4个月来到英特尔的回应。我们看到了一些新I7和I9 CPU发布，还有一些过热问题和一些卑鄙的公关动作。
我的一部分在这里了解英特尔。AMD击败了他们的废话，以低成本的价格带来了体面的6核CPU和8核CPU，炸毁了他们同样价格的双核和四核产品。他们觉得自己必须回应。因此，他们没有成为一家聪明的公司并考虑自己的长期业务，而是对短期前景的反应……很糟糕。
因此，尽管英特尔永远不会承认这一点，但他们显然急于此发射，从而在价格过高的平台上引起了过热问题。更不用说几个月后，我们有了全新的第八代阵容，它再次使用了一个不同的平台，如果您在X299上购买了不同的平台，则无法升级。
总而言之，这可能是英特尔最近记忆中更愚蠢的决定之一。如果他们只是有一点耐心，他们本可以从AMD Ryzen发射中受到短期打击，然后重新摇摆。正是他们的这种幼稚的行为使我购买了Ryzen 7 1700x而不是等待第八代英特尔斯或投资到达时死亡的平台。
X299是否启动了炒作？
没有。我们都很好奇，看到英特尔会如何反应，这是他们非常糟糕的一步 - 我相信他们希望我们都会忘记进入2018年。
8月：RX Vega发射
With AMD throwing all the punches in the CPU market, the Radeon team came up to bat with the—frankly odd—RX Vega launch。The super-fast HBM2 memory had everyone wondering just how powerful these could be at different tasks. Some said “they could be more powerful than a 1080 Ti,” while others said they would be useless at everything but being a paperweight. What we ended up getting was something that was somewhere around the GTX 1070/1080 for gaming, with a little more powerful results for intense 3D design tasks like rendering, and a higher price.
就像上面详细介绍的X299发布一样，RX Vega的发布使消费者感到困惑。启动时，您可以使用GPU模型的主要方式是他们所谓的Radeon包它被设计为防止加密者破坏可用性的一种方式。最终发生的事情是消费者的吸收非常差，他们对独立的GPU感兴趣，不一定是包装中的所有东西，以使它们值得。
Even today, 4 months after launch, there is little to no stock and I suspect Radeon are just going to let these cards quietly die. Unless you fancy spending$1500 to get a model from a 3rd party sellerof course…
Did the RX Vega launch live up to the hype?
This was one launch that had plenty of hype and sadly nothing to back it up. Hopefully 2018 can improve on this, as they will have to compete with Volta (NVIDIA’s platform for HBM2 based GPUs) coming too.
September: AMD playing Smart with Bargain CPUs
当制造商有计划的范围刷新时，我会喜欢它，而当竞争挣扎股票时，就会出现。来自AMD的新A系列CPU从未打算让世界着火。作为2017年阵容中的最后一部分，他们只是较旧的建筑的刷新。在这里找不到任何切口Ryzen CPU，这本质上是重新塑造的推土机CPU，该CPU在超级紧密的预算上建造者可以超频到月球并获得体面的游戏性能。
这也完全从无处溜进去。当我与团队谈论发布会时，我认为我们每个人都没有真正期望从AMD那里有那么多车型。总共11个CPU，范围从60-110美元，有些具有集成的GPU（一些没有），有些也带有冷却器。
最后，它最终是一个主要的第七代范围，该系列内置了GPU，进入35W和65W变体，然后只是CPU模型（Athlon第7 gens）。
这些对预算builde最大优势rs is that they are compatible with the AM4 platform, the same one used by Ryzen. So even if you can’t afford a shiny new Ryzen CPU now, at least you’re future-proofing your upgrade path. With the Zen 2 chips due to be announced in February 2018 to run on AM4 too, this is a great option all told, when compared to Intel’s fractured and recently non-existent upgrade paths.
Did AMD’s newest low-end CPUs live up to the hype?
大多数人对大多数人来说都是蓝色的，因此这些发射时的炒作为零。即使是现在，由于某些型号的股票有多低，也没有大量要求AMD恢复库存。因此：肯定是一个不错的补充，但是这里没有任何开创性的东西。AMD的明智之举是对英特尔问题的对立面。
October: Intel 8th Generation Launch
在他们以前在X299上推出的新平台启动的大约3个月后，英特尔通过其第八代CPU的全部推出再次重置了东西。总体而言，这些CPU给我们留下了深刻的印象：由于这一点，他们给第七代CPU的表现确实提高了i3，，，，i5和i7models all receiveing a core increase for almost the same price in many cases.
然而，存在一些麻烦的问题。X299平台的幽灵似乎仍在徘徊，对于任何数量的超频而言，过热成为一个主要问题。Plus, we have the more-than-annoying decision that Intel insisted on a new motherboard platform in Z370, to the point that the “older” Z270 boards are completely incompatible with the 8th Generation, despite manufacturers saying there’s no reason they couldn’t be (outside of Intel making it so).
Although stocks have been a struggle since the launch, making us wonder if these too have been rushed out the door a little, the more powerful CPUs did manage to dislodge the AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs off我们的零件清单。
This is what confused me about Intel pushing out X299 when they did. Sure, this range was in the works and would have meant that AMD would have completely ruled the roost when it came to the consumer and enthusiast CPU market for 7 straight months. Yet this could have easily righted the ship by itself, as the 8th gens are clearly powerful. Instead, some of us simply didn’t trust (or like the lack of transparency) from Intel and bought AMD anyway.
他们的短期行动可能在这里造成了很多损失。瞧，这个发射使上一代的主板不兼容，再次将您的升级路径分开了，而AMD却悄悄地在现在的全部CPU上进行了工作，第二代是2月份的第二代CPU。
咖啡湖是否辜负了炒作？
The hype here was based around more of a “don’t do this like X299 please” mentality. And, although we have had really solid upgrades in performance, Intel’s insistence on a new motherboard platform (not to mention the low availability) has soured for some what could have been a really great launch. Thisdefinitely这不是X299的完全失败，因为芯片本身已经在承诺的表现上提供了，但是英特尔仍然需要在2018年为消费者加强自己的游戏。
December: Titan V and NVIDIA getting drunk on power
When coming up with this article, the one oddity I had to decide whether to include was NVIDIA and what on earth they have been doing with their Titan GPUs. I was initially going to put the odd 1070 Ti release or indeedthe Star Wars Collectors Edition Titanshere (just… why?) as the last item. But considering we had less than a year and a half between the Titan X, Titan Xp, and now Titan V, I felt this was a good point to end this post on.
Does anyone else think NVIDIA are just messing with people at this point? WhenTitan Xwas released, it was the most powerful single GPU on the market. Then they released1080 Ti这更强大了，他们无法做到！因此，他们一个月后，即泰坦X发射仅8个月后，他们发布了Titan XP。
这将我们带到了12月，又有8个月的零竞争，NVIDIA抛出了Titan V。我不想将其称为粗略的话，但是Nvidia知道它具有最大的棍子，并且真的很喜欢在我们所有的脸上摆动它。
For $3000, NVIDIA knows it all too well。不过,至少他们给免运费!我还是要l say: at least NVIDIA are pushing this to the compute market and not to gamers. It does not have SLI capabilities, instead having some features which have zero use to the gaming enthusiast. That being said, assuming your CPU doesn’t become a bottleneck (a very high possibility with this GPU), the Titan V does push some insane numbers, pushing well over 80fps averages at 4K when overclocked on even the most demanding of benchmarks (looking at you Ashes of the Singularity), but still losing out to 2 Titan Xp cards in terms of performance-per-dollar.
Did the Titan V live up to the hype?
Since no one was really expecting this and it’s not really a gaming card, that kind of depends: What does this mean for 2018? Well, potentially, it means that the mainstream Volta range is going to be an expensive one and instead NVIDIA will probably have them running in tandem with the 10-series GPUs. Unless NVIDIA suddenly finds a way to make the super fast HBM2 memory cheaper that is!
So… record year?
我要说的是，总的来说，这对建筑商来说是一个不错的一年，也是一个非常令人兴奋的一年。
Intel与X299有一些非常著名的失误，以及Rade Vega的Radeon。然而，随着AMD释放了Ryzen，Threadripper和Epyc Zen Architecture，他们将大量的竞争带回了CPU市场。咖啡湖确实兑现了许多诺言，尽管该释放几个月后的几个月内都带来了无最大的兼容性和摇摇欲坠的可用性。
Because of the RX Vega’s poor outing, NVIDIA have enjoyed an insane year as the undisputed king of the GPUs, rounded off with the launch of the gratuitous and pricey Titan V for us to swoon over. Unfortunately, unless we’re going to see some genuine competition arise here, we’re not going to see the mainstream Volta-based GPUs at anything but premium prices. Instead, what we might see is competition (finally) for their Pascal based 10-series, which should bring those down in price for more reasonable 1080p, 1440p and 4k gaming—not to mentionVR游戏too.
So for me, this has been a solid year, yet still some improvement would have been needed in the GPU space for it to rank up there with one of the absolute best ever.
What do you think? Was 2017 one of the best ever? Are you waiting for 2018 releases instead? Let me know in the comments!
