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

^^ this is exactly my point, if AMD are going to offer comparable performance for cheaper and with the bonus of more cores only die hard Intel fans won't adopt if they are looking to upgrade.
 
IIRC AMD motherboard have not cost anything like Intel ones? wasn't the top end Asus Crosshair V 990FX something like £180 when new? If the same trend continues , you will be in a position to buy a complete pc for the same cost as Intel`s greatest cpu, with comparable performance!

Can't believe any of them. One rumour says 8C/16T for £400, then next says £600.

If that one is to be believed, a 4C/8T will be £200 - £250.

Not long now at least!

I think some of the earlier price leaks were distributors prices. So not necessarily wrong but now what we'd be paying. This one looks like it might be final prices. Or lease close to them, assuming it's correct you can just compare to the Intel prices.

Pinch of salt with everything. I hope amd gets it right.

Is it mad to buy a case and PSU at this stage for a Ryzen build, whats the official release date?
Certified mad here. Already got the Case, PSU, ODD, SSD, GPU and RAM for my Ryzen build :p

Not sure how I feel about that middle picture :eek:

I bet he has sneaked out a Vega card from the office to test it......
And we found who's running the benchmarks on AOTS :p

Also while i was browsing Raja's tweeter acc, which laptop is this, connected to hololens?
Clearly it has an RX series in there

I don't know how to how the Chinese prices work.., but shouldn't the prices be a little more lower if we're comparing prices with the Intel counterparts??

For example, (afaik) The core i3 7350k US street price is 168 USD where in China it's 1399¥

-> So 1¥ = 168/1399 = 0.12$

-> For the i5 7500, 1¥ = 202/1579 = 0.127$

-> For 7600k, 1¥ = 242/1899 = 0.127$

-> For 7700k, 1¥ = 339/2799 = 0.121$

-> For 6850k, 1¥ = 628/4799 = 0.13$

So I think we can take 1¥ = 0.125$ average..

So the Ryzen US prices should be :

-> R3 1100 = 999x0.125 = 125$

-> R3 1200X = 150$

-> R5 1300 = 175$

-> R5 1400X = 200$

-> R5 1500 = 225$

-> R5 1600X = 250$

-> R7 1700 = 325$

-> R7 1700X = 400$

-> R7 1800X = 550$

I think this is what we are missing on and I kind of hinted at it before - if 4C CPUs with reasonably fast cores are under £150 and 4C/8T CPUs are under £200,it means more and more normal gaming PCs,will have a better CPU.

A lot of games are going to be coded with either consoles in mind or the specs of more mass market PCs in mind,so if any improvements in the specs will help push PC gaming forward as a whole.

£175 Core i3 K series CPUs don't really do that. Its only an excuse to find away to charge more for a lower end SKU.

ye i do think thats where most the sales will be
if they can get their 4core above 4ghz at that price it would be great
2core gaming is so hit and miss now

I wonder if single threaded performance will be miles ahead of my 3570k at 4.4ghz, only interested in Planetside 2 getting a boost to be honest.

Planetside 2 needs DX12 or Vulkan to give it a major boost.

I play PS2 too - its just really unoptimised. I run it on a Xen E3 1230 V2/Core i7 3770 and a GTX1080,and there are some graphics options which can push framerates down on the latter a decent amount,and for not much visual improvement. I remember a while back even people with newer CPUs would be complaining about performance,so I think its one of those games you could just throw money at and still get crap framerates during large battles.
