[JamieOlive]

Alright, if this is true I am super stocked, really this pricing is insane, although a little bit unreasonable from my point of view,

 I mean look at that pricing, reallt really low.

 

A 6 Core/12 Threads for 259$, its insane, I mean what will Intel do now, with the 6800K, get it down to 300$, and where the hell the 7700K is gonna crumble down, it should be an intresting couple months if leaks are confirnmed!!!!

If anything hopefully the Intel 8th gen will be more than a polishing.

I hope this does happen because I've always wanted something on the extreme platform.

WTF?!

If this is actually true, then Intel Mainstream Line up would be canibalized pretty match as well as older CPU line ups.

Sorry if it is, but WCCF Tech article is only 2 hours old, and i didn't find anything  in the forum about Pre-orders, actual and conrfirmed Launch Dates and prices, post it here if you can!!!

this is great, if it performs equally, if they equal out in price brackets and have the same performance then it will be just like the 480 vs the 1060, whichever is cheaper for you to get

That Ryzen 3 is gonna be fantastic for budget gaming builds. 4 real cores for $129 with overclocking... Pair it with a midrange GPU.

I made a thread yesterday where I was upgrading my CPU to the i7 7700k 

 

I want that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X if it's only $499. 

 

The problem is I don't know if it's worth going for 4 cores at a faster speed or 8 cores at a slower speed. I've been told many games don't utilize more than 4 cores so that i7 7700k might be a better option for gaming to me at least. I'm not entirely sure on this and I'm going to wait to see what happens here. 

 

I'm hoping they start hitting the market in the next couple of months. Going to wait until then at least. 

[Armakar]

Damn. Really dissapointing. I guess video editors, streamers and the likes of people who will actually use those 16 threads will be pleased. but it seems for enthusiast gamers (Like myself), Ryzen is pretty worthless.. I doubt the 4C/8T will be anything up to par as the 4C/8T i7's, definitley not with those prices.

Ok man sorry, but don't be so offensive, I didn't see it, they can take it down if it is a repost, and yeah everything is a leak until we have a CEO press conference or an event from AMD itself, so relaxxxx!!!!!!

The title says it's going to be launched in 2 weeks. No need to wait for a couple of months.

Probably there will be a few types of workstation workloads where the 6800k is faster by a good margin.

Otherwise AMD would have priced higher.

 

The pricing indicates that AMD believes 'we are better than Intel mainstream platform but not as good as enthusiast platform'.

Its new bit of information and therefore doesnt clasify as repost.

So you base performance off of price? That's great for intel then i guess... luckily for AMD most people don't do that and base it off reviews and other peoples experiences.

He was talking to armakar and not you... and please stop with the !!!, we can actually read and those things are more offensive then anything he said. So you go relax.

A lot depends on how well they overclock...

 

If most of these can hit 4.4Ghz then AMD has nailed it.

Yeah it might be launched in two weeks but, its gonna run out of stock pretty fast, and propably you won't have it in you hands for 2-3 more weeks after that, and i personally would like to see some reviews on it first before buying, thats why i gave that time frame!!

No, I don't base performance off price, but prices THIS cheap reflect something. You don't find a 1080 for $100 because 'oh the brand who makes them is a good brand' - if they had even better performance then intel and were cheaper, they would be closer in price then this, cheaper but not this much cheaper. 

 

People aren't looking at this wisely - they could undercut intel by an amount smaller then this and everyone would be just as happy - IF the performance was up to par to intel. But it's not - that's why the pricing is so much cheaper. I don't think Intel will budge a bit because they know full well they are miles ahead in performance. If they had any reason to believe Ryzen would be better for cheaper, they wouldn't have released this Kaby lake garbage so soon.

actually i think AMD just skipped a few steps here. If they put the prices just under Intel for close to or better performance then intel would just lower the price. Which they would have to do then again to. A few steps later they would be at the same price point they are now. Might just be a gamble to get people to buy the CPU's because they get so many cores/threads for far less then the Intel equivalent. The few benchmarks that leaked so far show that the CPU's perform very well. So i don't expect that they will be complete shit and as dissapointing as you seem to think they are.

Ok the Nvidia GTX 1080, is so so expensive cause NVIDIA knows at the current time you won't get something at that performance numbers from anyone else, plus they sell you the name of NVIDIA, if VEGA hits like Ryzen 75-80% of Nvidia performance for lets say 400-450$ then off course Nvidia is gonna take those prices down..!!!

 

Anyway, MONOPOLY isn't good for anyone in either CPU OR GPU department, cause buyers lose performance increase per generation for what they pay, Intel or whatever cuts jobs based on minimizing investment, other pc part manufacturers depend too much on one company and thereafter you have more expensive not nas good as it should be "Laptops, consoles, etc".

The benchmarks I saw showed the 7700K outperforming the 1700X in most tests.

 

And no, I don't think intel would budge their prices. because it shows they've admitted losing. AMD are the lesser company- they are the ones time and time again bieng beat, they are the ones lowering their prices (ahem RX 470 / 480 ) and they are the ones who haven't made anything better then intel in 10 years. They would have to prove themselves BIG TIME to make Intel loewr their prices, even if Ryzen was better. More people would still buy Intel just because, although they are assholes for their pricing - they have been top dog for years. 

 

Edit : I'd personally buy AMD over Intel if Ryzen was better, but people who don't want to research or just know of AMD's many failures would perhaps be hesitant, which is why I think Intel won't budge in pricing unless Ryzen is absolutley smashing intel in performance.
