Soooo in other words, Intel should set up their game.

Iv been following zen or now Ryzen for some time. Iv used AMD for most my life. Last time i had a Intel chip was in a laptop i first used when playing on cbcnr's server back in 2007. Infact i recently built myself a computer using the FX-8350 back in september. I wish i kinda waited but no way i could off stopped myself spending the money lol. (Edit: if anyone wants to see the build then > http://ultrastunting.com/index.php/topic,1004.0.html) (no advertisement intended)

Anyway, I watched the presentation and watched a few tech vids about it all today and i have to say, As a AMD user im very happy. Not just as a kinda fan boy smug to intel but for a reason that you have to admit, This was kinda AMD's last good chance to bring any kinda competition to Intel. If this failed then shareholders would not of been impressed. (i say this because iv read this very thing somewhere) But what they have reported seems good and its not just good for AMD users, its good for everyone.. AMD are releasing a chip (1800X) at $499 which is compared to Intel's 6900K which is $999. If AMD continue to do good then prices will drop intel's side (Hopefully) If so its good for everyone.

This along with AMD Vega GPU's will be a very interesting 2017. And i for one will upgrade at some point. Maybe around Nov-Dec time so that way i can see how this pan out as i'm in no rush.


If you don't know much about the Ryzen hype then two videos for you to watch,

AMD 1700 is competition to i7 7700? Since when? Just look at clock's...The only thing that AMD does right is cache, they allocate more than enough, but Intel fixes these with internal structure. Also keep in mind that when buying high end processor you will be increasing your power use. AMD's will use way more power than Intel, and more power means more heat. While nobody gives a shit at winter, at summer everyone will. Im Intel fan and i hate Intel for many reasons, starting with all those integrated graphic cards that we dont use (but then again we could use Xeon).

@DRIFT_HUNTER If you have no clue about Ryzen, shut up. ^^

you sound like that guy who hears shady information about amd from intel fanboys and relay it here as if ur some rocket engine genius

i can detect the symptoms of you being a major retard, please consult a psychologist before you start saying that amd will melt the south pole

Meh. I'm not inclined to buy anything from AMD again. Had too many misfortunes with overheating hardware and crappy driver support. Clock speed is ostensibly still more important than number of cores for gaming purposes. But I'll wait for the benchmarks.

Im never gonna give up my sources , specially the ones that give me shady information...
By the way, i have consulted psychologist and he told me its impossible for AMD to melt south pole, but he is not entirely sure about nort...

Intel FTW.

Let the pointless argument between Intel vs. AMD begin.

[HeLiOn_PrImE]

letting the argument aside, a fair competition is always good for the consumer. We can all agree on that, right?

Exactly what i said in my post. What ever fan boy side anyone's on, Thats fine. Some like Pepsi others Coca Cola. But AMD releasing a CPU which is on with par with intel is good for everyone when you next pick your chip. So il say it again, Tech wise.. 2017 gonna be a good year.

[PrO.GameR]

I bought a 6700K recently (the new series came quick after it tho, but it's not much of an upgrade for me to be worth it to buy a new one) so I'm not switching anytime soon and certainly not to AMD, but if Ryzen breaks the Intel series prices that'd be perfect.

[Calgon]

Sure, this kind of innovation is good for Intel to force them to compete more, but Intel is always going to be the preferred CPU manufacturer. AMD will never recover their reputation.

games these days (BF1) are taking advantage of those extra cores, so your point would be somewhat invalid in a short time, considering how fast future games make use of more cores

That doesn't apply anymore, trust me - my RX480 doesn't go over 65 °C at load and drivers are better than ever (giving huge performance increases during time)

Either way yeah, these Ryzen cpu's are shaking up the market. I like it.

I can say exact the same thing, i've switched from NVIDIA to AMD and bought also a RX 480 (8GB version) and it runs smoother then NVIDIA does. Also, AMD is pushing more drivers updates out then NVIDIA nowadays.

I know it's not an AMD vs NVIDIA thread, but it's good to know that AMD is doing better then before, at there driver side, but also there hardware.

Nor this thread is about AMD vs NVIDIA, nor this is about graphics cards...

I was talking about that AMD isn't that shitty anymore as before, and that there hardware are good nowadays.

You were talking about only graphics cards, not processors (which is the topic of the thread).
