Ryzen "2" ?

[Mercutio]

full board listings US side...

and... wtf - Asrock flagship boards on the 26th? Asus got a launch day deal?! wtf?
Seems AMD should be supporting the other way considering which OEMs signed up to GPP.

Everyone's calling it Ryzen 2?

 

[Steedie]

Awesome. Torn whether to upgrade my 1600 to a 2600 or go for a 2700!

Great prices!

 

[Mercutio]

Everyone's calling it Ryzen 2?

Yeah. Zen+/Ryzen 2/Pinnacle Ridge.

Zen 2 will probably be called something else.

Looks like Asrock have the Fatal1ty boards for launch but missed the boat on the Taichi!

Look forward to reviews.
Do wonder if it will be worth upgrading from a 1700.

 

[Scougar]

Yeah. Zen+/Ryzen 2/Pinnacle Ridge.

Zen 2 will probably be called something else.

If AMD get bought out by Oracle, then the next update will probably be called something like Ryzen 14 for a minor update.

 

[NinjaCool]

Preorders are up but still no reviews... not fair!

Probably have to re-brand to rid itself of the Ryzen stain

Nah, madness. Wait until proper 2nd gen.

Ahhh. I usually keep a cpu for about 4 years.

Already scheming to sell off the 1700 and upgrade.

Must not. I can't upgrade every year!

No PC game anytime soon is gonna bring a 1700 @ 3.8Ghz to it's knees.

I should at least wait untill next year.

Also this isn't Ryzen 2. This is Ryzen +.

no idea it's old memory it was the older version of https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...l-kit-black-txd48g3866hc18adc0-my-067-tg.html

it's memory I've used so much and trust to work it'll take silly voltages without flinching if I want to try stuff out.

My 32gb of Avexir 3200mhz ram that I bought here for my TR build for 229gbp that turned out to be Samsung b-die is looking to be a bit of a bargain!

it's AMD's 2600, 2600X, 2700, 2700X chips... it's Ryzen 2. Zen+, but Ryzen 2. Zen 2 will probably have a different name.

 

[Orcvader]

Unless there's some special magic in here, it probably will be a tiny upgrade for current Ryzen owners. Although the 8 core does seem tempting price wise... Need to hold off for Zen 2/Ryzen 3/whatever they'll call it.

 

[opethdisciple]

Also to achieve the max potential of the chips your gonna need a X470 board.

 

[Mercutio]

I'm coming from the below so... a decent enough move. 2700X pre-ordered. Probably... 70% for gaming but... it's with the... I think realistic though that apart from about 10% single thread performance, it soundly whups the likes of the 8700k every other way ( ). Big card upgrade later in the year and I'm probably set for a good while before I mess with anything again (depends how incremental Zen 2/Ryzen 3 is).

 

[Kelt]

oops

Hah, I saw it!

It was, err, let me see...oh yeh, a score of 6574 on Cinebench for the 2700X!

Awesome!!!

 

[Mercutio]

"go ham" "errr... but, maybe hold off benchies/everything" (it's fair enough).

Be interesting to see how good these new chips are. If they ain't a worth while upgrade for current ryzen owners then it's kinda sours the exciting selling g point of ryzen upgradability.
