Looks like the Ryzen R3 price aren't too bad.

https://gameolo.com/product-category/คอมประกอบ/cpu/cpu-amd/page/2

AMD Ryzen 3 1100 - 4c/4t - 65w
3.20/3.50Ghz
£110 + VAT

AMD Ryzen 3 1200X - 4c/4t - 65w
3.40/3.80GHz
£127 + VAT

The 1100 looks great value but the Ryzen 5 1400 is around £150 so I would probably choose that over the 1200X.

I have no doubt reviewers who were questioning 6+ core Ryzens' effectiveness in gaming will be all over the 6c/12t Coffee Lake, and again ignore the fact that it will still cost a lot more than AMD's equivalent (albeit with higher clock speeds).

That's a complete given! Although now that Intel is finally pushing more cores, it hopefully means developers will finally cop on and start using more.

123 vs 184.... Thats a 50% uplift in performance :eek: thats huge, there was a big difference between Ryzen and Intel but it wasn't anything like that big....

Awesome, I totally called they could manage to get a 1700 in a laptop. Still running at 3.7 GHz boost too, so they could downclock it to put it in an even smaller formfactor if they wanted (probably not ultrabooks though)

Hopefully tech news sites catch on and make a big deal of this. Credit where credit is due, this is the world first 8-core normal laptop, and will be the highest performing laptop (in CPU tasks) that money can buy. Pretty cool achievement from AMD.

And also, I suppose this effectively confirms 8-core Zen is suitable for games consoles. So wouldn't surprise me if the next consoles have 8-core Zen2 in them (Zen2 just because of timing of when they'll likely come out)
 
Mobile parts are better binned that the things you an me buy ^^^^

The 1700 is a 65 Watt part, on the desktop... which is astonishing for a 16 thread CPU.

Indeed, though 65W is still high for 'normal' formfactor laptops.

I want to see if they can get it down to 35-40W if they bin it a bit and underclock it to ~3.4 GHz, and then it'll go in any old laptop design. In many ways that'd be even more impressive, and it'd be hilarious if 8-core laptops started to become normal while Intel is still planning to make dual-core CPUs for desktop :p

If its 65 Watts on the Desktop they could probably get it down to 45 Watts by simply using the best bins and fiddling with the voltage.

Desktop gets all the stuff rejected for all other platforms.
