Not sure why anyone would buy this when the better featured X370 Gaming Plus is only around a tenner more.

Can I ask you guys something, I am interested if people with a good (CPU) rig especially a Ryzen rig can play this 8K movie ON 60 FPS!
Make sure not using edge because it uses your GPU instead of the CPU

edit: you need a fast internet connection to play this without buffering!
Step 1 click on the link
Step 2 turn the quality to 4320 60FPS
Step 3 Turn off any gpu hardware acceleration
Step 4 check your CPU usage and put your cpu stats/results in his thread
Step 5 thanx all!

Excellent news! I'll give it a little while to check for issues before updating, does it stop the failed cold-boot POST problems on those sticks?
a 10% ipc lift would be good vs zen and make even bigger waves.
Feels really good owning a Ryzen cpu knowing how it beats the competition at half the price.

Well this is it, only got them this afternoon! , will tell you in the morning
cold boot issue there !

R7 1700 at 3.9 GHz here, with 32GB of RAM.
I can't watch it at 60 FPS on Chrome, but I think it's a limitation of chrome/youtube, because I only get about 50% CPU usage (including any other background stuff going on), so I imagine it's fine hardware-wise, just crap software.

Thx for trying, yeah I also think its software crap. Even the 6950x stutters.
But wasn't your internetconnection bottlenecking it?

Nevermind - I'll stick to sleeping the PC rather than turning off for now then. Seems no need to update to this version, will wait for the next
Run it in Microsoft Edge and your cpu wont even break a sweat

Yeah works fine on Edge, but that's expected
Nah I'm on 65-70 Mb/s, and in "Stats for nerds" in the right-click menu, it was getting up to 10 seconds of buffer.

Interesting yes. But such a poll over "feelings about a launch" say nothing about the CPU or it's performance. Rather it's "Please rate the marketing of this launch"
They are.. But if one were to look at this a bit more objectively buying Zen now, thinking this rumour as true, is still not a reason to feel gutted I think. You get a 6+ core beast for less money than the competition with very competitive IPC and unmatched multithread performance and you are not even making a sacrifice on the power bill and the cost is not insane of this chip either meaning that you most likely have the ability to buy the upgrade aka zen+ once it arrives without investing in a new platform, where as the competition usually leaves you dried up in that regard and forces you to change platform if you want more than 10% IPC improvement or near 0% if we go by kabylake.

Edge?! It's stuck at 1080p60 max for me there. Nothing above it.

The actual translation to that poll is people are pleased to finally have a competitor in the CPU market, as for Kabylake people were tired of seeing the small gains Intel has drip fed for so many years.
I would say I feel positive about Ryzen 5 but I won't be buying one. Therefor 100% of people in my poll aren't buying Ryzen. Extrapolate that to say 100% of people aren't buying Ryzen and you have a wccftech article.
Edge?! It's stuck at 1080p60 max for me there. Nothing above it.
Edge goes past that for me
Really odd, Edge can't display anything over 1080p for me on any video, not even my own 4K 60FPS ones.
Hmm seems my Edge can't play VP9 content.
