The goal here is that where Intel has four cores with no hyperthreading, AMD can provide six cores with SMT, effectively offering three times as many threads for the same price and potentially smashing any multithreaded workload. Also interesting: Quote It is worth noting that the Wraith Spire for Ryzen 5 will not have RGB lighting, whereas the Wraith Spire for Ryzen 7 does use an RGB ring. OEMs will be able to use the higher-end Wraith Max stock cooler for their pre-built systems. AMD stated that at present, there are no plans to bring the Wraith coolers to retail as individual units, however they will keep track of how many users want them as individual items and regularly approach the issue internally. That's a pity. The press deck: http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/5516 So, hex-core option for $219. That's brilliant and looks like the perfect middle-ground option. But as with Ryzen 7: bench for waitmarks. Ye ole' train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 15, 2017 So with the whole kerfuffle about the scheduler, and the CCX rumors, I'd like to say that I want to think positively about the 4c8t models. If AMD manages to significantly improve clock speeds with less cores on the package, we may see their equivalent to the 6700k, or even the 7700k. Ryzen 5 is not meant to compete with the Extreme edition processors, so hopefully it's at least price competitive to the consumer i7. i5-12600k, 3090 Gaming X Trio We'll settle this the old navy way: First guy to die, LOSES!

Posted March 15, 2017 Why, just why the non-x quad core is 1400? Couldn't they stick to their own naming scheme and just call it 1500, non-x? OK, enough irrelevance Also, I don't know who wrote that article, but the idea that TDP ratings imply anything about the internal layout of the CPUs... 1 minute ago, FloRolf said: If that's all true then prices are awesome, but we really need some better clock speeds here, AMD. They are all unlocked, though. 1 minute ago, Nicholatian said: Intel’s pretty much getting smoked until they do something. This is really nice to see. That's a bit of an overstatement. This certainly puts some limits to the pricing of several of Intel's CPUs, but they still retain the highest performers in the segment and can charge a premium for that. It would be interesting to see what a 6-core consumer chip can do in the current state of software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a terrible proposition lol 1700 and 7700k are the same price, and they offer totally different things. 1700 has the cores, and is good with WS and mediocre with gaming, whereas 7700k is good for gaming and mediocre for WS tasks..

Not really, since even matching clocks Ryzen would still lag behind in IPC This is the kind of hype we need to avoid, instead of blaming AMD when launch day comes and the reviews are out, showing Haswell performance. AMD promised Haswell-E/Broadwell IPC, that's what it achieved, and that's all you are going to get from gen 1 Zen. The way in which they eat from Intel's profits is not by matching performance, but by being sufficiently close while priced like this. I mean, Intel was trying to sell us an i3 at the same price as the quad core R5 because "unlocked"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1700 is targeted to compete with the 6900K. Well, X99 in general, since pretty much the entire Ryzen 7 lineup compares to 6850k/6900k.

You could call AMD the king of value right now, or you could call Intel the king of fleecing… it all depends on how you want to look at it. Personally, I just take a deal for what it is – it’s a shame I’m not putting together a build for a while, ‘cause I’ve got a life to build and all. I agree that buying X99 at this point is insane, but Ryzen has some competition coming in the form of X299 (since X99 has had its lifespan) Intel doesn't wanna decrease their profit ($$$$) margins tho idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 15, 2017 Ryzen 5s make sense, as they're core-disabled parts. However, I'm curious how the 1400/1500 are going to operate, as the L3 cache should be half compared to the 8 core parts. Be interesting. As for the Ryzen 7 discussion, in the 1700 vs 7700k argument, it's really only a better value to go for the 7700k IF you have a 144hz monitor. If you're not dropping the money for that, then you can probably sneak out 50-80 USD less for the Ryzen 7 1700 + Board (which comes with a cooler) compared to the 7700k and spend that on an better graphics card. Mindful that while the Ryzen 7 is a really good chip & platform, I wouldn't normally recommend Cutting Edge tech to people. In a few months when the BIOS issues are worked out (and especially the Memory problems), that's a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 15, 2017 i think the 1400 and 1500 lineup will be the go to cpu for any budget build, 1600x looks interesting but it better have some amazing in game performance or the 1700/1800x will still be better value due to just more cores especially if they have the same clock speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
