Are you going to buy an AMD Ryzen cpu? Why and which cpu?

Are you going to buy an AMD Ryzen cpu? Why and which cpu?  

To me if I was going to buy an AMD Ryzen cpu it would be the AMD Ryzen 1800x because it's the top end model.  

[iRileyx]

I'm considering one, but i'm going to wait for benchmarks to come out first as I only plan to game and only occasionally stream

[waterjug]

yes, if in a world where the lowest ryzen cpu didn't cost as much as half my current pc and I had enough money

Very true.

I'm not going to because I already have an i7 4790k in one rig and an E5 1650 in the other. I can't justify upgrading to Ryzen from these as the performance gains in gaming applications will be minimal - GPU power is by far my bottleneck at the moment. Also I'd want to see independent benchmarks before ordering anything and I'd wait at least 3-4 months for any bugs and kinks to be ironed out. 

[The Sloth]

i am going to after the benchmarks are out.

I already got a 4770K, so no rush here, but I might give my current PC to my mom, and buy myself one with a ryzen 5 1600X when those release.

Nice.

not until sufficient benchmarks, application and gaming show more of the all-round uses than what AMD has been propagating for 4 years.

the price point is interesting, motherboards are similar to the Intel lineup on features and prices. another would be what overclocking levels can be beneficial and useful.

Waiting 6core and 4core/8thread CPUs

I like the new ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 M.2 USB 3.1 ATX X370 Motherboard with AURA Sync RGB Lighting.  Hope fully the benchmarks are really good for the cpu's price point.

I'm probably not going to get any new cpu for a while because my 4th gen i5 does everything I need and if I upgrade it to something more current I will have to upgrade pretty much half my computer. However, when these new budget chips come out I will be recommending those like crazy. I've never really been a fan of the low end Intel chips because they're pretty much all dual core, and for a ~$400 budget you cant really fit in a low end i5 so I've always recommended the 6300 even with how old it is. I dont really see any reason for people to upgrade to a slightly higher spec cpu. The only time I think a new cpu is necessary is if you're doing a new system.

[minibois]

I'm considering the R7 1700 (non X), but it really depends on the performance and price.

I think that they're going to release those 6 cores and 4 core in 2nd quarter of 2017.

[airdeano]

one thing this will do is the used Intel market pricing will be squished to 30% below new 'Zen' instead of Intel new pricing.

doubtful Intel will retaliate with the new market sales. they'll review market share reporting and make a decision where they think Intel should be. distribution will cut invnetories if the "Zen' starts to grab sales real estate.

Indeed. The used market will be very interesting in the coming months

If 1800X is really that fast, and when reviewers release benchmarks, I will be replacing my 6800K and ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME with 1800X and ASUS x370 motherboard. I literally sold my laptop to get it, and then I'd wait to sell my 6800k and RVE to buy similar laptop back later.

[dexT]

1700 if they OC as high as the rest. If not probably the 1700X.

They are announced officially so yeah it's obvious

[hellochicken]

I would probably get the 1700 or 1700x becuase there cheaper and i can overclock them to gain performance

[Syraz]

I Preordered the 1700x and the Asus Crosshair mobo...I never preorder tech and never personally use ASUS...so this is wow much different then the norm for me..

[DildorTheDecent]

na. Hardly really utilise the 5820K. 

 

Need those proper benchmarks and OC results too. 5GHz or bust.
