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

[Bonjour]

The hype train is approaching the terminus. Will it have the ability to come to a graceful stop and let everyone off at destination nirvana, or will it continue full-speed into the buffers with all carriages piling up into a mangled wreck?

Ye some update on MB stock would be useful. I ordered day one so hoping to be in first batch of MB's

 

[gupsterg]

I can but hope that the R7 1700 is as good an overclocker.

I ordered that as well. I think it will be AOK. Take gibbo's post in which he said they got 4.0GHz out of one and will probably get 4.1-4.3GHz on 1800X. Do you think the chance of 0.1-0.3GHz is worth extra for X CPU?

Also I plan on ebaying the Wraith Spire, even if it's not got heatpipes/bulk like (Wraith/W.Max) I reckon I should get £30+ back if sell on FVF promo, it does have RGB (LOL) so that's straight up must have!

Who knows... hopefully Gibbo will give us a status update today? There seems to be plenty of rumours that stock isn't coming in for a lot of boards until next week.

@Gibbo can we see a motherboard pyramid please?

@Gibbo can we see a motherboard pyramid please?

Out of stock across the board so it's gonna have to be one of them imaginary ones.

Oh no, they have some. Maybe if they stick all the mixed types together they could make a moderate pyramid.

Ye a MB update would help. As I would change my order to a motherboard that is currently in stock.

A user on reddit got an early delivery of his AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU, he proceeded to benchmark it and publish the results. The embargo on Ryzen reviews won’t go up until 9 AM CT on March 2nd, which is roughly 11 hours from now. So you’re about to see the very first results of an actual retail AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU.

Me (on 5820k): I buy Ryzen 7 to support AMD. I know it didn't make much sense, but I want support them.
My Dad: I hope AMD support u2 when you're running out of money and you're homeless.

Your not supporting a company but supporting an outcome to allow competition in the future which is better for all.
