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

Journey said:
I think the issue is with a channel like HU is that if they had any information at all they'd be under NDA. The fact is they have no information at all, so they are just as in the dark as anyone in the 'tech press' besides potential leaks there is a 0% chance of AMD not talking about the Ryzen 3000 chips at CES, will they announce specific SKU's? They could maybe no one at all know other than AMD themselves. Alternatively they could just do a coming soon to a CPU socket near you, and blow everyone away with a tech demo that will leave them drooling for a couple of months until the official announcement or launch date. It probably kills hardware news places to not know what is really happening, and other leakers/speculators getting all the likes/subs.

You also have to look at the opportunity for AMD to gain feedback from the wider enthusiast segment, if they show a product and give some form of indicative clock speeds you can bet they'll be monitoring the reaction and all of the positive and negative news stories so they can ensure that at the product launch they have the right product for maximum penetration at launch and beyond.

This to be honest. On Wednesday we will all know what the score actually is.
As a sidenote to an earlier post about Jim being asked to review an "Upcoming X570 mobo", just a thought on my part. I've long thought his sources at AMD may well have been told to "leak" to him. Maybe that as some payback for those leaks is he gets an X570 as a thank you. The really interesting thing though is that they have a fully functional X570 mobo that they think is worthy of "Review" at this stage. It obviously would need a Ryzen 2 cpu as well to do a review, it entered my mind that maybe AMD have no intention of waiting until even COMPUTEX before releasing X570 mobo's..............................was just a thought, that's all.

I feel that too big of a delay for x570 will hurt adoption to Zen 2, especially those not on an AM4 platform already.

You'd be mad to move to AM4 and Zen 2 on current gen only for 570 to launch with PCI-E 4.0 and what ever other improvements it might bring.

Is that for real? Where did you hear that? The keynote is still up on the ces.tech website. It would be heartbreaking if it's true.

It's a troll

I'd actually expect it to be earlier now. I used to believe in a Computex release for X570, but with Adored having a review class board for an "upcoming" model, I daresay AMD might pull out all stops and destroy Intel in Q1.

This, too. I'm actually in that situation, but I'm waiting for Threadripper Gen 3. I wonder when AMD might launch those.

Have to think that the 3000 series chips will be paper launched, along with X570 at CES. Going on sale a couple of months further down the line.

The 3850X will be announced and hard released at Computex.

Aye, I agree. Makes the most sense to me. I'm actually looking to go Threadripper right now, but with the CES incoming, I'll wait those few days.
 
Yeah, that's it. For existing AMD owners it isn't an issue, but for taking Intel's customers they really need the X570 to be ready when Zen 2 launches.
The opportunity is there to land a blow on Nvidia too, especially if Navi then turns out to be at 1080ti/2080 performance for maybe 70% of the price.
 
I don't see X570 being a driving force if all it offers is PCI-E 4.0, above and beyond of that if what is currently available. Maybe in 12 months it will be when the expansion cards and SSD's start using it, but it had no immediate effect, unless you are looking to future proof to some extent.
 
Thing is its again not particularly a big deal NOW, but its a shiny marketing feature that will help down the road.

Seems silly to launch a new CPU range, with the new motherboard family a few months late with a 'big' feature. We shall see.
If Adored has indeed been offered a review board, it suggests theyre not far away at all actually.
