Has anyone else done the straight lazy measurement of the Zen to Zen+ performance chart? Zen+ appears to be 20% better in IPC.

So i doubt I'll be moving from x99 until 2+ years then, not switching for a fairly measly <%10 improvement. Coffee lake may not tempt me either or even be worth it for that matter, probably Ice lake or Zen+ then since they seem to be out around the same time.

I thought about it but a marketing slide is in no way going to be accurate so it's a waste of time speculating based on it.
 
yeah, WCCF isn't a lot more reliable than one of us saying something. They seem to report on every rumour and possible leak. They sometimes get stuff right, but that's just because some rumours and leaks are real, not because they source good information :p

News Just In. AMD Ryzen will launch with triple SMT. 8 core 24 thread! click this broken link to Chinese blog about cats for proof!

:p

WCCF is like many other sites like Anandtech, Videocardz, Guru3D and others that are not 100% reliable so WCCF is no different.

Don't forget about both Anandtech and Videocardz had information from their sources confirmed 1080 Ti will be announced at Nvidia CES 2017 keynote. Guru3D posted news about EVGA jump on AMD train for Vega cards and leaked Vega games benchmarks which Guru3D believed it was real information from sources but unfortunately both news were later confirmed fakes.
 
Wccftech is not even close to anandtech and the likes, they're actual review websites and *will* be privy to certain information.

Wccftech isn't privy to anything.
 
when it's released il be slapping one in my studio so hopefully it's good, piledriver was a really good chip for daw use, for the money it's been stellar for the last few years.

I'm curious to know the capability in a music production environment (DAWS, VST's plugins etc)?

I'd imagine the 8 core version will easily be the best bang-for-buck for this type of work, assuming of course your software scales well. The 6 core may well be a great option too if it's decently cheaper than Intel's low-end X99 offerings.
