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

I don't like it. Ryzen 9, really? Too boring!

Heh, I liked the dig from AMD with the '9' at intel.

I'm far from Nerd enough to fully comprehend most of what is said most of the time. As long as I can drop a 3700x into my x470 mobo and it runs well, I'm more than happy and set.
 
5ghz zen2 chips will have insane demand, if you thinking we going to get ryzen1 prices you will be disappointed.

AMDs not going to struggle like Intel with monolithic dies though, they went down the chiplet route, pretty much every chip off the wafer will get used in something, there will be tons of chips available, any price hiking will more likely be retailer gouging.

Anyhow i expect these to come in like previous gens price points but a few ££ more, say £10-20 or so.. but if the performance is there it will be worth every penny and still much cheaper than Intel.

Im actually more excited about the Navi rumors, if AMD can offer near 1080ti / 2080 perf for £250 then Nvidia have interesting times ahead.

1800X cost $500.

However they are not big monolithic behemoths with IGP included.
Is only the cores, not even the I/O. So cheap to make

Also whole TR4 and they have bom $170.
 
What are you guys talking about, on both sides? the 16 core Ryzen 9 3850 is rumoured to be $500, its not a case of "no they wont" yes they will, and so what? buy the much cheaper 8 core if all you do with it is gaming.
 
I think it's because it's finally some good news for PC Gaming.....not us being forced to embrace garbage cpu and gpu prices from companies I need not mention.

Also it seems to be shaping up to be one of the biggest consumer PC advancements in years.

The 9 is a turned 6, and 666 is the number of the devil.
Also, nine in German, is no. So, Ryzen No with the devil participating. I don't like it.
And because of the lack of imagination in AMD marketing for something new and different.

I don't see those clocks for Zen 2 being correct, in Jim's video. I mean, you go from 8 cores 4ghz 95W chip to 16 core 4.3ghz 135W chip. 300mhz more with double the cores and only 40W more? That does not seem right, even with extremely lucky binning. Unless they only gonna release 50 of them, still can't see that. AMD would make much more money by selling 8c 4.3ghz chip at 95W for 250 bucks, than 16 core special edition for 500 bucks. I don't know it just doesn't make sense to me.
It would depend where the efficiency "sweet spot" is for 7nm. For 14nm it was around 3.6 GHz, maybe for 7nm it is well over 4 GHz. Also remember the TDP assumes boost clocks will be used - if locked to base clocks all parts should be continually below their TDP. Generally both AMD and Intel assign slightly higher stock clocks alongside higher core count parts, which makes sense because otherwise a 4 GHz 8 core part would be faster than, say, a 3.7 GHz 16 core part in a lot of scenarios. Even though enthusiasts know it doesn't matter because they are unlocked, it'd look bad to the masses in benchmarks.

That escalated really fast, so many meanings. I was thinking nowhere in that vicinity. Gonna go watch some illuminati videos to get up to speed.

That would be noin.
 
stormbreaker it is then
:D This time its aimed at the head

Yep, shure is. If the 2 leaks to Adored end up being true,and they could well be true. It changes the whole CPU landscape. AMD was supposed to announce details of Ryzen 2 at Computex, but bring the announcement forward to CES...................decision made after Intel announce Comet Lake. In the meantime, 2 AMD sources leak details of Ryzen 2 to Adored. It's obvious that AMD have out Inteled Intel on this one :D Wait for Intel to announce the only answer they have to Ryzen 2.................................then hit them with a "Stormbreaker" that will take them years to even wake up from.....................if indeed they wake up at all.
 
This needs quoting for hilarity. :D

Sooo funny... ;)

Anyway.. If this is true, or very close, then I can't wait until I see AMD with the fastest gaming CPU. That's the only thing that Intel have at the moment that they can charge a premium, baring the shortage, for their CPU's..

Sure they may have a rushed response in the works but they are STILL stuck on 10nm so they won't have that manufacturing advantage that they've had for ages. It's very good to see AMD able to fight on equal terms after a very rough period the last 5-10 years.
