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

Just looking at that screenshot again and am reminded of a recent RedGaming Tech Video... he was banging on about Intel's 12.5MB Cache on the enthusiast X299 CPU's, as if it was a massive deal for the CPU world.... Ryzen Mainstream 20MB of Cache.....

I think some ppl are just preprogrammed to go WOW at everything Intel say and do....

Can you overclock it? :D

Maybe through some desktop app, but Dell usually locks people out of anything bar basics in their BIOSs.

I get ya, what keeps impressing me is the TDP of the 1700. An 8 core workstation All in One, with the same CPU TDP as the R5 1400, or Intel i5/i3.

No wonder Asus managed to cram that into their upcoming ROG Strix laptop as well.

And Dell just announced a beastly AIO system as well for $999.

Wow that's some tasty specs for an AIO. Wonder if this means the iMAC will switch to Ryzen? Haven't seen anyone mention that possibility.

Also an 8c/16t NAS box? Lol that's network storage with more processing power than the majority of desktop PCs :p

If Apple pick up AMD's Ryzen processors we might finally get a proper Pro laptop and desktop from them again.

A MacBookPro with 1600 or 1700 would be great. Apple already shoved a 4790K into the iMac before; they should easily be able to get a 1700 in there.

Considering Apple's desire for small form factor, I think Apple will go with AMD for the next round of computers due to them being more power efficient.

Well they already use AMD for graphics, and moving to their CPUs would be fantastic. Just wonder if Intel wouldn't try to undercut them like mad to keep those contracts.

We won't know until Apple's next event though.

For me I think it depends on Vega. If I do get one, I reckon my system may well hold it back and I'll need to upgrade. Annoyingly Zen+ won't be out for a while yet though.

IMO if you're comfortable with what you have now, and particularly if you want high-end stuff in your next upgrade, this is the smart move.

I'm optimistic we'll see 12-14 core Zen2 chips for £500 ish when 7nm comes along. If they continue to push performance per £ aggressively.

I upgraded already from a 3770k to a R7 1700, but that was because I really needed more cores and more I/O for editing work (I only had 2 SATA 3 ports for example!).
