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

If they exist, from a personal point of view not work related, I'd be looking at the low end 6c/12t CPU's or 8c/16t for a B350 based mITX system I already have, and a Ryzen 7 12/c/24t CPU for a main system to replace an aging i7 4770 based system. If they turn out as expected that of course. :)

If you do get one, start a roll of honour thread for it :p

And that's in less than 36 hours, so what's the problem? Maybe there isn't any more information to leak. Maybe benchmark information is being withheld until after the keynote/CES, which would be perfect to keep the hype train going since there's not going to be enough time in an 1 hour keynote to start doing full demos and benches of Ryzen exclusively.

I think only in the most general terms, bearing in mind it's a keynote to a large consumer audience.

Most of the juicy detail people like us are interested in I suspect would be in briefings, presentations or interviews in the hours and days after the keynote.

Aye. Either way there’ll be meltdown in here tomorrow. That for me is going to more fun than the actual announcements. Can’t wait :D

Amen. :D

I am really curious about whether AMD will give any info on Threadripper. I mean, consider this: As of yet, with Zen and Zen+, AMD started small, then built bigger chips. First Ryzen , then Threadripper, then Epyc in 2017. Same in 2018, just no Epyc. This time, Epyc is first. Shouldn't that mean it's way easier launching TR next because it's much closer to Epyc in design ?

With Zen(1) being completely new design AMD needed time to thoroughly finalize and test whole platform before starting to sell it to servers.
(+economical situation of needing to release something fast)

Actually Intel does same with high end workstation and server platforms dragging behind desktop in architecture...
Or rather did before they lost their clock.

Now AMD doesn't have same economical situation and with these couple years of time they've had better chance to target high profit margin products in first wave.
And in case of chiplet design materializing on desktop it's not that simple single monolithic die CPU.

-9900K: not enough for what I'll be doing in multicore, and only 16 GPU lanes, 4 NVMe lanes, 4 chipset lanes. Would be nice for gaming, but can't do it for work.
-7980XE : nice for games and workstation, but price performance is ****, the arch is old and I generally dislike the idea of buying skylake X, especially now

All Intel CPUs are stuck on sixth gen Skylake architecture.
Marketing has just kept rebranding same thing again.
With Intel's 10nm having been SNAFU since 2016, Intel's clock hasn't said tick or tock in years.

I finish at 5pm tomorrow so I'll stay at work and watch the keynote :D and slamming F5 on this thread!

Leaks are not officially confirmed so it's still worth watching tomorrow. Then we can watch the forums go nuts if the leaks aren't accurate :p

Which was my point ;) the leaks so far have successfully whipped up a frenzy but it's a frenzy meant to get all eyes on AMD, not replace actual announcements. Lisa Su is going to give a big, swanky and exciting overview of AMD's 2019 plans, make a few specific name drops, possibly wave something physical in her hands (hopefully without wood screws) and then exit stage left. There are 3 booths and 2 event spaces at CES to cover specifics.

And if there's still no tangible numbers displayed, the leaks will continue until April.
 
I bet we see some Vega2 info at CES, they will also talk about the new 3 series APU's, probably mention EPYC and their wins with that, and will probably end on Zen2 coming to desktop this year, may show some demos of it running, with no FPS counters or whatnot.

Would love them to show off some Navi stuff and Zen2 Ryzen / Threadripper in all honesty, but while i think we may see them, i dont think we will get any hard facts other than a targetted release date for their products, such as coming Q1/Q2/H1/H2 etc from them.

Like I said, AMD have 3 booths and 2 event spaces, there's plenty of time and space to show specifics. I mean, EPYC Rome and Vega 20 Instinct can't possibly fill that space for 3 days can it?
 
I'm going to miss the actual keynote. Any idea where I can "catch up" with it in the evening? I want to avoid forums etc and see it for my own eyes first.
