AMD Demonstrates Ryzen Performance At New Horizon Event, 95W TDP Confirmed

[fry178]

i hope it will run similar to intels 3/5/7 core series, as amd was listing stuff with SR3/SR5/SR7.

hopefully around the same price range (but offering better performance and save power), so about ~100$/150-200/250-350.
but im locking at amd trying to "make" money, maybe they will go lower to get more customers..

i never spend less than 150-200$ on a board myself (better quality/more features etc), but i doubt the top chipset will go below 100/150 (at least for first few month).

another reason im done with intel, is their moeny making by introducing a $%#@! chipset everytime they release a cpu.
amd will have the AM4 not only for the "FX" lineup (cpu) but also for their APUs, so i think this will actually stay way longer than the next intel socket.
just see how many sockets intel released, while amd was running AM3+ for years (without problems)..

AM3+ only stuck around so long because AMD hasn't released a new CPU architecture in their FX line for 4 years. AM3+ only had 2 generations of CPUs, same as Intel platforms.

sure, it was longer because of no new release, but it didnt hurt amd at all, quite the opposite.
i could swap cpus coming from FX4 (to fx6 and fx8) without changing MB everytime.
would not have done that, if a new board was needed.

even when i look at intel: why not design something that would have "20% more pins" than needed (as a non tech would say),
so you dont have to release new sheit every "5 min"...

i mean i would still be on intel (for future builds), if i could get an updated board/chipset for my 3770k (more sata6/M2 port/ddr4)...
heck, even a smartphone has a 2-3y cycle...

I hope I can find a an average motherboard cus if the CPU comes out and I pick it I'll be going for an all AMD pc with the rx 480 and about a year later i might add another RX 480 to the build to run crossfire X and get better performance (I'm not sure tho ) So I'm worried about it a bit As of now my plan for my first build is :

CPU : Intel Skylake 6500 : 15,699 : http://mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3635
GPU : Asus Strix RX 480 8gb: 23,517 : https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01J3TZJOA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AYAZOP86CGXY9

Why debate so much if Intel or AMD has the better IPC?

If Intel has slightly better IPC than AMD, but lower clock, it doesn't make it perform any better than AMD. Yeah it has better IPC, but so what? Let's say performance is "IPC * CPU_Frequenzy", now which one is better? Intel or AMD?

Focus more on performance/price compared your budget, or other chipset/cpu features (like iAMT/vPro/ipmi/ecc/usb3.1 etc).

And let's wait for other independent tests!

 

[fry178]

fact is, so far, the 8C/16T zen can match/beat intel in the tests we've seen.
so as long as its sub 500$ range, it's the better deal (vs 6800/6900).

OT
ecc and usb3/3.1 are virtually irrelevant for consumer pc's.
unless your running mission critical things, non ecc is cheaper, and kingston ram has the lowest failure rate, and most common ram errors on consumer pc's are not prevented by ecc.

same with usb3, unless you regularly transfer files larger than 500MB it wont make a difference.

e.g., i would never choose any board (non server pc) based on support for ecc ram/usb3 connectors...

If they say "E-Sports" or call them athletes one more time...I'm going to sell my computer and stop gaming. Nnnnnah. But they should just call it video gaming.

@jonnydough
sure they're athletes. only training the hands.
sell it, sell, sell it... ;-)
