Who says they could release them in May?
While on the subject of AMD's 50'th...
The AM9300 was AMD's first product.
Their first X86 Processor, 1975. they are Intel 8086 clones that were first sold to the military and later rebranded "AMD 8086" and produced for IBM as a second source to Intel.
Altho Intel initially agreed to this to get the contract it didn't last beyond that which led AMD to develop their own X86 based CPU, in 1996 the K5.
The K6 in 1997
And from 1999 to 2005 the K7, the Athlon series, the rest is history.

Yeah same, fantastic CPU's with a strange ceramic PCB, it had a texture like plant pots.

Can't wait for these processors to shake things up some more, dying to do a new build.
Loved my Athlon 3200+, had a phenom triple core after that.

I had had the 2500+ version of the 3200+ which OC'd beyond that of the 3200+
Awesome little Barton core. Went from that to a Phenom II X6 1090T. Even though Phenom wasn't the best CPU going it was pretty cool having 6 cores back then

Ah yes the 2500+ classic, remember those being in massive demand when people realised the potential.
I presume we will not see much overclocking potential on the 3000 series, will be relying on the IPC uplift
For £125 at release it was a fantastic chip and to be able to easily clock it to XP3200 speeds it gave excellent value.
It really is incredible seeing the hype that Zen 2 has attracted and I really hope that we’re not let down.

Hasn't CPU overclocking basically become a thing of the past since the arrival of decent boost performance?
That may be total rubbish. I still have a 4690K.
Hopefully AMD will optimise these CPUs for Star Citizen, maybe even include it in a bundle?
*ducks*
I know this was a joke, but I actually wondered about this a bit - AMD had been a long time "partner/sponsor" but more recently they have been sponsored by intel for citizencons etc, even with some deal for a special ship with an optane drive... last citcon they had just got the OCS stuff in and it started really using all the cores available. The guy in charge made a comment on stage (in the keynote I think) about how threadrippers had been killing it performance wise since the update, and I wondered how that comment must have sat with the intel sponsors at the show.
Either way, I'm pleased to see games starting to exploit the higher core counts and I think it bodes well for AMD's strategy.
It's going to be an awfully long wait till June, but as I said before at least it gives me time to save up! On the plus side I decided to buy some AMD shares a little while ago given the apparent strength of their position this year/next and so far (touch wood) the gains have already paid for a new system - only fair I put some of those gains towards a Zen 2 I'd say!
ahhh! seeing that barton core brought a tear to my eye,went from a 850mhz thunderbird to a athlon 1800+ nearly a doubling in speed ....they were the days!I had had the 2500+ version of the 3200+ which OC'd beyond that of the 3200+

I love the nostalgia seeing all these old CPUs. I've got a box of them in the attic, I cant get rid of them.
you could turn them into keyrings and flog em on ebay lol
Pretty much. Maybe it's a demographic thing but I remember vividly breaking the 1GHz barrier with an AMD chip. Just couldn't afford anything stock faster (don't think there was).
Now I buy tools that do a job I need them to do. If it boosts to near maximum clock by itself, happy days
You can buy wafers of CPUs on eBay for not much. Considering they are the 8th wonder of the world it's pretty cheap. They are very pretty, far nicer than a trashy print of some classical masterpiece
The classic NF7-S, one of the best boards of it's time. I ran the EPOX 8RDA6+ Pro which was the full feature edition of the 8RDA3+ that was the direct competitor of the NF7-S. I was after the extra SATA slots on the 6+ and losing 1-2 FPS due to that didn't bother me
Still have it in my cupboard. Needs to be re-capped so trying to get some solid state caps to replace the stock ones and do a classic XP PC with it.
Ive still got my first PC build up in storage, Barton 2500+ and a radeon 9700 pro, Might go and dig it out and see if it still boots up ok
Now there's a stellar gpu from its day !
Still got mine, Asus P4800E-Deluxe with a P4 Gallattin 3.4EE and X850XT, albeit started life off as a P4 Northwood 3.2Ghz and 9700Pro.
I still have my athlon 1800xp, epox mobo and bfg 7800gt oc. From here on went with a AMD 64 3200 and asus mobo, i remember it would not lock the pci bus so overclocking was not possible.
Those were the days, cant believe time just passed so quick.
