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

SPECULATION

think that says it all.

Thats all anyone can do at the moment.

I liked the part I heard about CPU with also its new Vega GPU on board as well, that could be one hell of a startup pc. Thats 2018 I guess

It has a nice ring to it the "RZ 780" even if it does sound like some sort of motorbike.
If legit, which it certainly looks to be has me a little worried about the performance. Losing out to a lower clocked 32nm from 2011 is nothing to shout about. Have AMD over hyped this?

*By no means am I an intel fanboy, I want ryzen to be as good as just as much as you guys*

I'm calling fake on that cinebench.
His other video says he has the "RZ 780" with a VX 490 on ashes of the singularity benchmark. He has put a link to another video over the results page.
However, when you download the video the actual CPU he used was a 4930K. Which adds up because at the beginning of that video the cpu freq. is 3.88 ghz, the turbo freq. of the 4930k is yes you guessed it 3.90ghz.
He also lied about the GPU, it is a 1080 not a vx 490.
Busted.

One of these days I will open the thread to see something real

Probably fake, it say's quad channel for one which Ryzen isn't.

Yeah true, prob the same faker who uploaded CiV5 benchmarks

I hope you're right, But if you look at the Fiji pricing compared to it's Nvidia competition and listen to Lisa Su's we do not want to be seen as the cheaper, lesser brand statement just before Fiji released you've got to wonder if she agrees with what you're saying.

I think Lisa Su must quietly back down on that statement as far as Zen is concerned or AMD will surely perish. They shouldn't be seen as a cheaper, lesser brand if the 8c 16t Ryzen is a more reasonable ~£400, just products sold at a more normalizing price.

Look at the L3 cache in the video - it says 12MB which is the same as the Core i7 4930K.

I think the reference 3930k may be overclocked (cinebench just shows the stock speed no matter what). A stock 5820k gets around 1020 points.

These guys get leaks from Motherboard manufactures, who have the chips.

I get more than just leaks, yet you give an idiot access to word press or twitter and it's gospel and people lap it up. Most vendors won't even sample Canard.

 

[humbug]

You don't get anything ^^^^

Jelly? Getting Ryzen samples too

 

[Undesirable]

Did some pixel peeping on that Ryzen video, and the text aliasing is different / sharper on the processor name text. Additionally, the "A" of AMD is slightly out of line with the other text below.

Spoiler

What d'y'all think?

 

[Hotwired]

I think any old troll with time on their hands is baiting because amd are not leaking a mouses fart before time.

 

[silversurfer]

I would guess thats a troll or its setup badly, es sample maybe. Its way off any reasonable result unless this is a budget end chip

No you're not.

 

[AlamoX]

knowing Ryzen is out early march, we will soon see definitive performance leaks, once AMD starts shipping to retailers and partners, give it another week.

Haha this is next level shizzle right here lol

Just wow
