Couldnt agree more on VM based machines. You might have warranty still? These cores are insane i love it ! If you can hold a little long a threadripper might be yours one day! HA i bet you cant wait just like me

It will be maybe. But I will for know pray to Intel Xeon E5 and I bought it month ago all of servers. (All of them in signature)

If you ask why Storage server is so expensive - It is beacuse I have 50 TB of data.

I doubt you will buy R3 unless you really want a low end pc. R3's are said to be released around third quarter of 2017. Thats pretty late if you ask me. With the threadripper not even being released ryzen allready is dropping prices. Imagine how much an R5 cost in september, or an R7. But my nerdism cant wait for R3 either just to see some action from them

I am very curious about intels new releases too! Yes intel will probably cursh upoon ryzen (amd) once again. I wonder how they will go with their prices. They will lose alot of 'normal daily life' consumers if they keep it high, its not that hard now with ryzen in the background to not pick intel. Ha its all a surprise i cant wait ! Your future build is gonna be awesome! ROFL 50TB of data...*dont listen to him my sweet 1tb drive, you know i love you*. Xeons are fricking powerfull!

The one true purchase is the 1700 anyway  best value, great performance. The very small chance of a better overclock is not worth the premium you pay for X variants. They have been down to £289 for awhile here so I wonder if we got the drop too. If so then in the UK the 1700 would be priced near to the 7600k which absolutely kills the i5.

But...that's the 1600/1600X job tho...the 1600 is already cheaper than a 7600K aswell so...  

2 more cores? Yes plis

8 more threads? Yes plis

£30 cheaper? Yes plis

 

Frankly you must be cray cray to buy a (new) 7600K ATM.

 1 TB drive loves you a lot. I will have to put more drives cause it will be almost full. All of the data is from 2008 to today.

R5 1600 already made sure of that?

Yep. He did now i3 and Pentium needs to go.

You are kidding right? 

Entirely serious. There's two reasons for AMD to drop pricing: they can't sell them fast enough, or they want to buy market share. Doing it for the good of the consumer is NOT a reason. They would love to get as much money as Intel if they could.

 

Once again, I'm still looking for evidence that AMD is doing the price drops as opposed to sellers, so the above probably isn't happening.

My old man's sandy bridge 2600K Solid Works machine died last week. Managed to get him a new system up and running for €600, with the 1600 in it. The price of it, and the B350 motherboard is outstanding.

 

Windows 10 Retail cost more than the Asus B350 Prime motherboard.

Now just waiting on Vega to see if those Solidworks numbers they touted was true.

Still anxious to see what AIB's are going to do with the X299 platform, if they're going to launch some competitive boards to make the jump to skylake-x seem more of a bargain. The 7800X is gearing up to be quite the gaming beast, but if the platform is too expensive the trade-off might not be worth it.

 

Here's to them seeing the benefit, much like they did with Z97 anniversary boards.

I think x299 will not be that successful in gaming cause of pricing like threadripper if rumors that it will be under $1000 will be true cause horde will buy Ryzen then. Mobo manufacturers play big role here cause they need to polish BIOS so it isn't all over again like Ryzen 7 release

[Majestic]

LIke I said, the platformpricing will be crucial if they want to hit that market that wants a little bit better than an i5 but doesn't want to dish out $1000 for just a platform alone.

As for the BIOS, they only had like 3 weeks? I'm pretty sure Intel has given them more time.

I think they had more than enough for Ryzen BIOS to be polished. Only if AMD didnt send Ryzen and chipset architecture like 1-6 months ago before Ryzen release and I still think they've had enough time to encounter problems and fix them

Theres only 1 reason. Its marketing, they lower it before the upcoming threadripper to push sale. If you were on an edge of buying 7700k or Ryzen 1700+, today might be the day you would cut the deal on ryzen. Ha offcourse its not for the good of the consumers. 

A price drop is good for the consumer anyway, so either way intention or not, its good!

 

I think they wanna bring out the threadripper and they are kind of afraid of intels release so they want to have a cheaper 16/32 sale to eventually sell more. Chips are cheap as hell. AMD cant do much else than this they simply dont have the market share for it. 

Lol i guess youre right...the above isnt happening. But yet it is! The reason might not be that, yet your chip is now 50 bucks cheaper! Darn marketing, to realise the production of that chip is so cheap

But they dont care just like intel, and let us test while they make profit on it. Isnt it a shame that we get incomplete releases from both chip providers having BILLIONS of marketing shares, insane they r just pocket grabbers.

True but I will rather have that than thermal problems on 7700k.

For best gen on Intel is Skylake and Xeon v5. Most stable and most reliable.

I've had chance few days to get hands on Kaby Lake Xeon while building server. They have sooo bad thermal stats.

The claim AMD are dropping pricing has been circulating for about a day now, but I've yet to see anywhere that it is from AMD themselves. Absent that evidence, it is more likely this is simply Ryzen supply reaching or passing adequacy, and pricing wars between vendors will start to drive pricing down. 

I still remember the "Intel drops prices!" which turned out to be "Microcenter has some special offers going on"

Lol sorry for the late reply, yeh those silly reactions from intel on the 7700k users (made for ocing) to not oc the processor they have........W T *

Looks like they've price dropped the 1700 again to $299 (multiple retailers, not just 1 offering a discount).  Must not be selling well.

That could also just be seller competition?

Could be, but if demand was high enough they wouldn't need to be competing with each other for sales.  10% cheaper than launch is also kinda saying "fuck you" to the supporters preordering.  If these discounts aren't being blessed by AMD they need to get a handle on that shit.

It launched in March. It's June.  At Newegg, the 1700 is down 30 USD from MSRP, 1700X is on sale and down 50 USD as a result, with the 1800X down 40 USD from launch.

 

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3200040/computers/no-amd-didnt-slash-ryzen-prices-ahead-of-threadripper-launch.html

 

I know you're a hard-core Intel fan, but these are products in which the Retailers have more space to operate about pricing.  Heavier sales on the 1700X makes sense after we got a good understanding of the product stack, as the OCing types will grab the 1700 normally.  The Ryzen 5 is still sitting right on MSRP (at Newegg).

I picked up my Ryzen 7 1700 from Amazon for $299. I had actually planned on getting a Ryzen 5 1600 but with the price drops it made more sense to me to get the 7 for not much more.

The yeilds have been high (80+% iirc) for Ryzen 7 so it gives them freedom to sell more at a cheaper price.
