*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

I'd like to see a CPU with some Vega compute units that can take certain loads off the GPU (i.e where HBM isn't crucial) in order to boost framerates.
It would probably only benefit certain AMD architectures but it'd make the CPU itself sweet for gaming.
Remind me, what happened with the Fury X presentation?
I am doing a build for a friend, who was going to opt for an i5 6600K, but I advised him to wait on Zen and therefore, I am waiting on this presentation with much anticipation.
Naturally, I expect what AMD allow to be shown and demonstrated will show their CPU in the best possible light, so am relying on the usual assortment of smart dicks to dissect the information and provide a bit of a clue as to what can actually be expected.

Ryzen makes me think of plant roots.

You know that's not real either ..... don't you ?
Yeah, those benchmarks were definitely fudged

Indeed, that 5000 Fed Per Second figure is just lolworthy
fury x presentation got hijacked by some dude taking about audio, i almost threw myself off my balcony but i decided to self harm myself with a knife instead.

Two words sum up the failure that was the Fury X event.

That was the 290X launch. But yeah, true audio has pretty much died a death despite a lot of hype.

I'm buying one. Don't really care as long as it is half decent for gaming. Need to keep the market alive by not buying Intel.
Will go for a Gigabyte board as long as they release one with USB DAC-UP included for my fancy audio gear.

that was the biggest shame for me
thx dolby 3d or whatever the option is in overwatch sounds like trash
they could do so much better!

RyZen sounds like a deadly undetectable poison to me...
In all seriousness I hope it's a good CPU, whilst I won't be upgrading my 5820k for at least another 2 years I would look at replacing the quad core athlon in my media machine with something more powerful.

AMD Raisin!
My HTPC needs upgrading fairly soon since it struggles with some higher bit-rate HEVC content. (I'm fairly surprised the Sandy Bridge Celeron in there can deocde lower bit-rate HEVC video perfectly though!) I could just shove in a newer nVidia card that supports hardware HEVC decoding but they are like £150+ so if (Ry)Zen APUs are good enough at this I could instead go that route and replace the huge case with a slimmer one.
Still a while to wait for that though.
