Ditto. Then 2 no. Thoroughbred B XP1700+ (at 2200+) cost £40+ each from Overclockers. Now £311 for one Ryzen 1700, I must be bonkers, stark raving mad, But I love it.

On the other hand, the 1GHz T-bird was $1000 when it was first released!
Damn. I really want one of their APUs. Just want one for a HTPC build and to be able to stream Steam games. Seems kinda wrong to buy an older APU now, but I know that they will do what I want.

Wow, that seems crazy thinking about that now.
My first custom build system had a 1.4GHz Tbird but I can't remember what that would have cost, £100-200 I imagine as it was an upgrade from my prebuilt machine that housed an 800Mhz PIII.
Once the dust has settled and motherboards have had all of the gremlins ironed out I believe that AMD have got it just about right from a pricing point of view and I hope Intel follow suit a I just can't see how they would be able to stay with their current pricing strategy, regardless of the core count/IPC.
The latest Ryzen chipset drivers have def given my system a bump. The default Ryzen balanced profile gives crazy performance. R7 1700 stomping on an Intel 6950 X in some synthetics tests. These chips are very good value for money.

You're right, for some reason I thought it was the T-bird that reached 1GHz first, but the original Athlon got there first.
mmm, pretty sure I only paid 150 ish for mine, certainly didn't pay that amount.
The Athlon did get there first, t-bird was the architecture name of that particular athlon model. It went all the way upto 1400mhz, all speeds after that were the palomino core/architecture

No, the Orion core Slot A Athlon reached 1GHz in March 2000. The 1GHz Thunderbird didn't come out until June 2000

Think that's where the confusion is. Maybe the slot type was 1k like jok said. I had the t-bird Athlon . I only remember the t-bird Athlon

AMD Q1 2017 Quarterly Earnings Breakdown – Stock Plummets More Than 24% After First Ryzen Quarter

AMD can't even sell CPU's that are at least as good as Intel's at half the cost, you have to wonder how long AMD can go on investing in competitive products and get no return on that investment, if AMD can't get back on their feet even with a product like Ryzen they are done for, surely.
It makes me really sad to see them try and come up with a genuinely good product and still not get a chance.

Thunderbirds were socket A and came after Slot A Athlons / K7 which were the first to 1Ghz, I've still got one around somewhere. Net burst was Intel response at the time.

First quarter results are always worst of the year though especially for tech.

Missed that Phemo who remembers replied beforehand. Those Slot A's were very, very good for rendering and CPU intensive work, AMD's heritage I'm happy to see this continueNo, the Orion core Slot A Athlon reached 1GHz in March 2000. The 1GHz Thunderbird didn't come out until June 2000
This is more of a correction than a drop, they will be fine. AMD's GPU division had a record year and their stock went up $2, the Ryzen hype saw it jump $10. Stock correcting to where it should be isn't really the death of a company, especially when it's still 5x what it was four years ago.
They need marketing and they need big contracts with OEMs and data-centres (which will come with Naples I'm sure).
I agree, R5 was also released right at the end of the quarter, R7 was only available for 1 month during the quarter and there was a severe shortage of motherboards, so I think next quarters figures will be a truer picture of how well it is doing. Plus any OEM contracts would be where the big money is I think.

I saw this today and shows promising not only for the server market and high workstation, but the X399 platform also, where the CCXs will be connected over quad channel DDR4
And very tempted to wait for the 16/32 CPU

no wonder Intel is worried
