Official AMD ZEN preview on the 13th of December 2016

[Notional]

AMD has put up a countdown for an official preview of the upcoming AMD CPU architecture.

With many threads filled with rumours on the forum, it's nice to see some answers coming very soon. Hopefully we will get a great chip, that makes AMD competitive on the CPU market again. Choice is great for consumers, and right now our choices sucks compared to the pricing. I can't wait to see what is in store.

Currently on my Intel horse, hesitantly running alongside the AMD hype train. Waiting till we know more to jump in, though.

a good cooler ?  

[Pyrotechnika]

14nm lithography, SMT, DDR4 support, supposed focus on energy efficiency, tons of cores. I hope AMD does this right, for their sake.

Sorry, but Patrick has proof that it's not Zen and also Zen is bad and terrible. Also AMD went bankrupt last week and Intel bought Tesla so Jim Keller definitely works there.

zalman CNPS 9500 90mm all copper tower cooler , Phenom 2 940 BE , @ 3.7ghz 1.55v (3.0ghz 1.25v is stock , 120w)  never went over 65 

same cooler on an FX 6100 @ 4.6ghz and 1.4625v (3.3ghz 1.25v is stock , 95w)  never went over 60c

 

if you want heat , go pentium 4 or FX9590

That's actually something I could see him saying, which is the scary/funny part.
