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

[Gammawolf]

The 7700K is dual channel and they still paired it with 8GB x4, where as Ryzen had 8GB x2

Oh lol, didn't see the 7700k amount, was only looking at 6900k

 

[Silent_Scone]

why the intel's have twice as much ram?

They could have quite easily paired it with a 4x4GB kit. Although it puts emphasis on the point that 4 DIMMs is currently a hardship on AM4.

I am that excited i do not have time to make breakfast or dinner so i am sat here with a good stock of pot noodles quick and simple

So not quite as fast as a 6900k stock for stock, but still for the price difference between the two, the 1800x makes the 6900k look very expensive.

I said between Haswell and BW-E level IPC overall,so unless the pure gaming results are different it seems I was correct.

14:01, Intel cuts 7700K prices.

Ban!!

Only messing, here is the photo.

We started the speculation: by just trying to be close to Haswell's IPC, AMD will have a solid product.

The first leaks shows ryzen has higher IPC than haswell.

AMD Presentation shows that has IPC close to Broadwell.

OcUK is like : this cpu doesn't beat skylake on IPC, "it's a useless pile that should be burnt."

399$ for 8 haswell/broadwell cores is extremely good.

I'm just assuming now that rainforest is not going to come through.

****** to be honest. With a few days off, it was a rare occasion I had time to change build and get everything installed.

Now to figure out what the hell else I'm gonna do :/

I had an email from another big retailer that likes books and it looks like my 1800x and Asus VI hero order are delayed. Rip.

Time to start furiously looking for something to order while I'm at work.

Pretty sure most of the European stock is arriving tomorrow.

Is there much difference between C15 and C16

CLoser to clock for clock with regards to the 6900k, not stock for stock. Both Intel chips are overclocked, the 6900k more than the 7700k. The 6900k is 3.2Ghz base, 3.7Ghz is max single core turbo... then you know they also have a 4Ghz max turbo frequency(because... reasons). 1800x is 3.7Ghz max all core turbo, 4.0-4.1Ghz single core max.

Also if we're talking about straight up stock, Zen supports 2666Mhz at stock, Intel only supports 2400Mhz on both Intel chips. So it's still slightly off. Most people say 3.5Ghz is about the normal all core turbo you get under bigger loads on a 6900k, I'm under the impression a 7700k is more like 4.3Ghz for all cores(but I haven't paid a lot of attention to it). So I'd say it's a touch unfair in terms of stock running, the 6900k will be a few percent out, maybe more, the 7700k a bit less 1-2% maybe.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Indeed. I'm assuming my order will arrive Monday earliest to be honest, given stock and popularity. I sincerely hope I have it this weekend though, but wishful thinking.

Yep looks like they never had stock as i did order as soon as it was up live i too have taken a couple of days off

Half price

 

[Willis]

Called round a few retailers including OC and the motherboard situation is pretty bad, even pre-orders won't be met as there is complete lack of boards from all manufactures

So would 3000 & C15 be adequate? Think my budget would stretch to that....

I'll be happy if I get to build a new streaming PC on Saturday then. Watching this thread like a hawk with my card ready to ninja some love!

Oh but just wait and see how many retailers have overclocked cpu/mobo bundles in stock..

Rainforest place is terrible for pc hardware preorders, I remember the Samsung 4K monitor fiasco
