[Vode]

8 cores -> 500 bucks

 

16 cores -> 1000 bucks

 

GOOD GUY AMD

Nice try but you just blew your cover... INTEL EMPLOYEE

These days TDP doesn't really mean anything on CPUs, see it as an upper limit... a pentium G3240 has only 10W less TDP than an i7 7700, which is ridiculous

Too true!  Intel Listing the 7900X as 140W

 

As TechPowerUp stated about Ryzen though.

 

Quote

 

The SenseMi power-management system seems to be working well in idle, with the 8-core machine drawing the same amount of power as Intel's quad-core "Kaby Lake" machine.

At stock speeds, the energy-efficiency of Ryzen is truly phenomenal. Prime95 loads all cores and threads on the chip, and the Ryzen ends up with as much power draw as the quad-core Intel i7-7700K. The high power draw result of the overclocked chip is due to the increased voltage needed to achieve stable operation.

 We're assuming you've sifted through our game-test results before seeing this page, and so you'll find that the gaming power draw of the 8-core Ryzen makes Intel's quad-core i7-7700K look bad. Power draw is as much as 30W lesser! Ryzen is hands down the most energy-efficient performance CPU AMD ever made, and easily outclasses Intel's 14 nm "leadership." Good show.

 

Or in Gif format if you prefer.

yeah, 60lanes is more than intel's high end server chips, in fact it is about twice that... I don't really see that mattering, unless you want to create an NVMe caching server though 

Assuming people are buying these for enthusiast or work station applications, I'm assuming 2 way SLI, multiple GPU/capture card/LAN card/nvme storage are going to be "common" (though its not like 3.0 gen cards are hindered by not running at x16)

[JuNex03]

So uhh, just looking at those CB scores, the direct competitor to intel's i9 7900x is $200 cheaper?

Remember that is X model pricing. There is a 16c non X model that will come in even lower.

I was just about to say that. That's why 3062 CB is impressive at stock. I'd say at least half those cores can do 3.9/4GHz

That's what I'm hoping. If the temps are grand under extreme load, it should be possible to overclock 8 cores to 3.9Ghz at least.

 

Best of both works, high jiggawatz for gaming and clock frequency sensitive work, and all those cores for rendering and encoding

I just realized that it comes out the day the techconival happens.

[Jurrunio]

Hmmm so Ryzen 3 1100, the celeron / pentium killer will come later than its brothers?

You are late. Intel smothered the Pentium with a pillow earlier this week. It was too good value for money, which is against Intel's code of conduct.

Basically confirms my assessment of what TR will be based off of Ryzen.

Adequate, cheap cores for some HEDT use cases, and massive PCIe I/O. But fucking worthless for AVX loads compared to an Intel CPU of half the cores, and of lower cost.

Not a great position for a HEDT platform. Too many compromises between Ryzen and 6/8c SLX.

Which was a very bad decision imo, since the Pentium and 7700k are the only two mainstream Intel CPUs that make any sense atm.

Yup!

That Pentium was great for many people; lots of WoW guild members that got great little systems thanks to that CPU. High frequencies with cheap cooling, and great performance.

 

Intel are only hurting their own customer base really.

NVMe SSDs use x4 gen3 at best, currently only 2-way sli is supported, a 2x40G network card uses about 8 gen 3 lanes, high end capture cards are x4 at best. So you could run 4 NVMe drives, with all of these being connected to the CPU directly, none through the chipset. This is pretty overkill 

[TOMPPIX]

i like how the prices actually scale with the cores.

[Coaxialgamer]

great to see AMD being competitive on price , performance AND power

7900X score is too low. I really don't know how AMD got this score. 

 

Threadripper is looking very impressive tho

Damn 16 cores and a base of 3.4Ghz, that's impressive. Currently Intel's best 16 core part has a base of 2.6GHz, E5-2697Av4 2.6/3.6, and the up coming Intel Purely is not better (6142 2.6/3.7).

 

Edit:

Disclaimer that Intel 16 core CPU is a server part and focuses on power efficiency and Threadripper is a workstation part weighted more toward performance, have to wait for 16 core X299.

not really tbh

 

Looking accross the internet , i've seen scores anywhere from ~1900 to 2300 , so it's probably down to how the chip is boosting , cooling and binning.
