I am waiting until end of May, see what they will present at the convention. That's both AMD & Intel. I only update my pc every 5 or 6 years, and i want to spend my money wisely.

"No difference in gaming performance"
"Slightly faster in Sony Vegas"
"Was smoother streaming in OBS"
"Shadowplay runs a hell of a lot better on Ryzen.... could be anything"
"I'm not going back to Intel"
I still have an i5 4670k at 4.5ghz that can hold me until zen+.

Seems like it is taking AMD a while to get the new Agesa update out. We are almost mid way through May now.... maybe things are not going to plan?

Gigabyte put the new 1.0.0.5 AGESA out in their latest BETA BIOS yesterday.

Expect others to follow soon. This isn't the magic bullet memory AGESA, but it will help as it adds a ton of extra memory options (1T/2T selection for example). The 1.0.0.6 is meant to be the one that'll really bring widespread memory compatibility.

7nm Starship with 48 cores in 2018.....
And that's 48 Zen+ cores, no?
It looks like 7nm is shaping up to be an interesting node.
We'll get Navi, high-core Zen+, and shrunk/refreshed Volta.
And if Navi can hold a candle to Volta, the 7nm GPU generation are going to be monsters.

Doesn't say but at 7nm yes it no doubt is.
And yes. even the Zen + Vega APU's should be pretty good, they might actually offer true 1080P gaming in a nice compact cost effective single platform, great for HTPC's
I wonder if 7nm will bring 8-core Zen+ & ~1500 Navi cores
If 4-core Zen & ~1000 Vega cores does nicely, it'll really spell the end for needing dedicated graphics on cheap gaming PCs.
What a epic name! I'd buy that just for the name.Related: Leaked.

Yea.... I think AMD have cottoned on to the idea that brand name sells.

new beginnings which is exactly what Zen core is
