New AMD CPUs Announced - It's getting as confusing as Intel.

What's confusing is the prices touted in the article. USD120 for the 4 core when the 6 core 1600AF is USD85?

I get that they're Zen 2 rather than the 1600AF, which is Zen +, but I assumed the 4 cores would be around USD70-80.

They could be good for an htpc but I'm more interested in the B550 chipset.
 
If you are confused by a chip line up this simple, I worry what others things confuse people.

4c/8t budget CPU's with no integrated GPU on a Zen2 design. They are making use of the 7nm parts they have and are ensuring that they are competitive in all market segments.
 
If these are around £50 they could make great little mini-itx portable budget gaming rigs - overclock to 4.2ghz and throw in a cheap 580, SSD and 16gb.
 
The old Gen 1200 was pretty decent for its price and core count, I'm pretty sure someone on this forum had one and put it through its paces, hopefully someone can remember who it was and pick out the thread
 
Ryzen 1200 have been around for a while, looks like they are just updating it and dropping the price, £50 is pretty good. Its a good little budget CPU.

Well at least you understood what i was getting at. :)

To a first time builder they are making it as baffling and confusing as intel sticking in the 9100F at a odd price bracket.

AMD Athlon 3000G at £47 and the 1200 AF at £50 doesn't make any sense.
 
3300X is quicker than a 7700K...... i bet that stings a little to 7700K owners.

Yeah read that and was surprised, because the 7700K & 7740X were the last Intel CPUs were the Ring run at the same speed with the core, hence single core perf of the 7700K/7740X at 5Ghz was always much better than anything intel had at 5Ghz even the 9900K/KS.


Also to drop something else, the 9900K has 500-509 single core perf with 3200C14 ram, 8700K 470-473, 3700X/3800X are at 500-510 mark and we do not know what ram was used with that 3300X.
All these are out of the box tests no overclocking.
