Excellent value compared to the i7. As he said in the video, it's like getting a free motherboard

Interesting video with regards to RyZen and some Vega

Seems ID are excited to be optimizing for Zen and their new engine sounds like it will be utilising more cores and, also mentioned that Quake Champions will be Zen and Vega optimised.

First testing with my 1700 (At stock) running Steam Streaming on software encoding was absolutely flawless.
Playing Witcher 2 (Yes 2) on my Steam link on the 55" downstairs was excellent.

It has been said over and over that these guys are paid by intel. Statements like this make me tend to believe them.
This guy is usually on the money but he is wrong here.

What's the equivalent priced AMD chip? Is he just after top FPS or does he even care about minimums?
Now, time to sell the 6800K and grab a 1700 with the CH6

Or hold my money and go rafting in Greece at the end of May.... hmmm

Finally this guy learnt to show also results on GPU that is most common for 1080p. Not only 1080ti at 1080p but also rx480, even just to show that the graphs are exactly the same. Useful for ppl that are planning to buy cheaper R5 and only 1060/480 level GPU.
12:00 "The i5 even has the CPU power required to comfortably run 64 player multiplayer battles"
He's got to be joking here right? The internet if full of people complaining that their i5's struggle in BF1 multiplayer.....

If they made one of those for the Asrock Taichi I would be totally sold on giving watercooling a try for the first time!
Yeah. We all hope so.
Btw how's the Taichi?
Does everything I wanted, running 2 x 16Gb is limited to 2933mhz with my Hynix RAM, but I'm hoping that will improve in the future. The VRM's stay really cool on this board, TBH I think I've got a duff 1700X as I've struggled getting stable about 3800mhz, I've had it at 3900mhz but it wasn't very stable when pushing it hard and temps got a bit hot above 1.4v. Currently running 3.7Ghz with low voltage, computer stays really silent under full load and it sips electricity rather than guzzles it which it does as you ramp up past 3.7Ghz.
That low power consumption of the Ryzen 7 (Samsung Zeppelin architecture) is going to be superb for 8/16 laptops, let alone the 32 core servers.
We should expect the Zen+ next year to clock higher at same low voltage, as is using the Samsung Zeppelin+ architecture.

AM4's brand new so it's very likely - I think they've said it's good until at least 2020. There's never a guarantee of course.
For 3 chip gens didn't they say?
They did but as anyone who bought into the FM1 or AM1 platforms know, dead ends can spring from nowhere.
With the current direction AMD is heading, I don't think they will want to support any new sockets for the time being, perhaps just an AM4+ in the medium/long term
