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

Computer says no. Lol

I thought flank3r was just an overclocker from xtremesystems with a preference for AMD machines

 

[Martini1991]

Always the troll.

That's not trolling.
I've seen Flank3r's name for years and years and years, and that was from the Xtremesystems forum, and he overclocked a lot of AMD CPU's.

FlanK3r i know your a man in the know, no spoilers, but is Zen going to be worth the wait? you do reviews for Czech Hardware sites if im correct? you must have some knowledge of how Zen is shaping up i bet you have probably even had a play with Zen outside of CES!

In your professional opinion, do we have a contender? not asking for NDA breaks or nada hell you can even be cryptic in your answer haha

Don't you think his pictures are hint enough? He seems pretty excited about it.

Yes, Im doing sometimes review for Pctuning.cz. But last year or two Im overbusy with another works, testing for forums and support in local czech forums.
I dont know much about Ryzen yet, but my feelings tell me "it will be something as Phenom II in 2009/2010 times".

And of course, I tested many others CPUs, not only AMD. Example last one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/20698985@N05/sets/72157674871735284

Who upset humbug?

 

[Harlequin]

You're far too irrational to discuss politely with.

EDIT : I'm also 99% sure Flank3r would attest to having an AMD preference.
I'm not sure why you're making it something it's not, but that's your malfunction.

/Facepalm.

His Twitter handle surely ends this discussion. Not that it needed to be a discussion.

Its a monster that 6950K.

Its a monster that 6950K.

is that the new , shiny , AMD edition that martini seems to think he has a preference to?

 

[Martini1991]

Having a preference to a certain vendor doesn't suddenly mean you lose the ability to use another vendors products. This is surely especially true when he's a dedicated overclocker?

You're ridiculously immature.

[humbug]

Hardware Enthusiasts buy stuff that's fun to play with, what's written on the box is pretty much irrelevant to them. and they try all products if they can.

It's got nothing on my Xeon lounge pants.

 

[gpuerrilla]

And a lot of Intel CPU's too, you're only fixated with him because he has no hardware preference to any vendor.

To you anyone who overclocks more that 2 AMD CPU's has a preference to AMD, ignore how many Intel CPU's he also has, seriously, grow up. stop throwing insults around at people because they like hardware other than just Intel.

Great statement.

I would comfortably bet flank will be more neutral than said party who is not biased (but has been ousted a long long time ago).

Cheers FlanK3r much appreciated buddy, although i have no idea how "Phenom II in 2009/2010 times was as i was using Intel at that time if i recall, i think a Q6600?
