AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[ricid]

We're nearly there, so speculation time.. I reckon specs / perf will be as leaked, but prices will be higher because we can't have all the things.

Max boost 4.5Ghz, £50 more than what last gen for the same amount of cores, 12 core £400+, 16 core £550, IPC uplift under 10%, good temps and power usage....no stock for months.

Max boost >4.7Ghz, 12 core £300+, 16 core £500, IPC uplift over 10%, good temps and power usage

Fixed it for you.

That would be pretty decent. If they've got a slight boost on Integer and a decent boost on FP that'd also be good

strong rumour of 16 core 6GHz being demod tonight.

Under L2N maybe if there was any validity to it .

You was ment to hit the 7 key and not the 6 right?

strong rumour of 16 core 6GHz being demod tonight.

Really?

 

[ricid]

I'd be ok with 12 core at £400, if it's £300 I'll be happy, if it's £500 I'll be unsurprised but would probably grab a last gen chip & wait to see if it comes down.

Even if that's with very elaborate cooling it would be a wonderful response to Intel's shenanigans.

400+??? No chance mate. Absolutely no chance. They have to get share away from Intel. They wont win mindshare charging intel prices.

GN is saying 16 core nearing 300w TDP

Toasty!

Lol, I mean this is literally the pinned post in the comments. Now I get why he had to post this:

"There seem to be some overly ambitious viewers who are not listening to the video fully: We specifically and explicitly said the 16-core CPU can reach upwards of 300W with H2O overclocks. We absolutely did not say that's the stock CPU. Please stop spreading misinformation. The video title even says "OC Power," meaning "overclocked power." Not stock."

Sounds sensible to me. AMD ain't a charity they're in it to make a profit for shareholders. Slightly under cut the opposition whilst offering more features like lower TDP or higher ram specifications. Simples.

Indeed. Given the i9-9900K hits 250+ W when overclocked this is not a surprise at all.

That's completely false. Any corporation holds a very deep social responsibility and the profit for the shareholders is not and should not be important, at all. These CPUs are not luxury articles, they are of first need for the modern world and information society that we live in.

That's such a short term viewpoint. From what we've seen, Lisa Su doesn't base decision on the short term. Only fat bloated companies take short term profit into account.
AMD needs mindshare and market share. It doesn't get that by Intel pricing minus a minor amount. We all view Intel as having been profiteering for the past 4-5 years at least. AMD won't be doing the same.
