AMD RYZEN... A GAME CHANGER!

[LinusTech]

AMD RYZEN 7 CPUs bring performance on par with Intel's best at a much lower price

 

Buy AMD RYZEN on Amazon: http://geni.us/SG3WS

Might be time to upgrade the server

woah what 

[LAwLz]

Well this was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect it to launch today. 

Now time to look at benchmarks! 

 

Edit: Never mind. Just a soft launch.

Doesn't seem like trustworthy benchmarks (as in, not from AMD's marketing team) exist yet either.

Its nice to get more info though. 

 

 

By the way people should NOT pre-order. Wait until benchmarks are out before putting money down.

@LinusTech I'm tired of you ripping off the floatplane club. We should have been lifted from NDA and been allowed to buy Ryzen CPUs a week early.

Nice nice. Please do overclocking comparison for 1700/1700X/1800X.

I am sitting in bus on my way home and this pops up.

Looking at the thumbnail ...not sure if troll video from Linus or actual end of NDA.

[JSind11]

Cant watch the video yet, does it mention pricing at all?

AMD is doing the same thing as Apple does with their smartphones. They have a keynote where the press gets to listen to a bunch of marketing, and pre-orders goes up. Then (on the 2nd March) the NDA is lifted and the chips are sent out. 

 

Edit: cool font LTT gave me. Your WYSIWYG edit could use some work.

Very very nice,  time to start saving. 

 

Hopefully the mobo prices are not like £9,000,000

Zen came 2 months too late for me 

[AxelRantila]

Finally something more. However, it is still not proper independent benchmarks

 

However, I don't like that they are using Dota2 as benchmarks, as it really feels like Valve has been rushing out patches there as of late (Like, they could really benefit from an extra week or month in the test client)

"But doesn't that put both Intel and AMD at an equal disadvantage?"

Yes it does, but that doesn't change my point that Dota2 isn't the best game to convince me with right now.
