for which people will the Ryzen 2. Gen make sense ?

[NewBieDavid]

So what I mean with this that from what I'm seeing the Ryzen lineup seems to be very relevant right now and why would anyone upgrade for extra clockspeeds with the same architecture ?
For example I would imagine not a lot of people would want to upgrade from a Ryzen 7 to the newer one..
In my case, I own a ryzen 3 1200 for not a long time and I would see myself going for a ryzen 7 1700 when Prices drop even further since I can get a ryzen 7 1700 right now for 270 euros.
What do you say as a Ryzen owner ?

You're not supposed to upgrade every new generation that is the same as changing your car every year for the very same minimal to non-existential improvements.

 

Nonetheless to don't leave the market offerings static you offer something new yearly, there always will be someone needing a new computer.

I think you're kinda missing the point. Its (mostly) for people that don't have a computer yet/haven't upgraded yet that wanted Ryzen but couldn't get it at launch. You aren't meant to re-buy every time they release a new one. The APUs are basically replacements for some of the previous gen CPUs because they cost the same or less and have integrated graphics and slightly improved performance.

Kinda realizing that right now yeah..
Guess my main interest is seeing what will make the most sense for me as an upgrade in the next few months but I guess I will see prices.

I don't think anybody is going to be buying the Ryzen 3 1200, 1300X or Ryzen 5 1400's anymore cause for the same price they can get a cpu with free integrated graphics

 

I think the first ones that will be worth upgrading to are going to be ryzen 2's imo because i don't think zen+ has enough time to really make a difference. Sadly the roadmaps make it look like ryzen 2 is set for 2019 release, so eeeh

I bet zen+ is gonna come out later this year when people are really thinking about upgrading (especially ryzen 3 users) and do something small but important like improving single core performance to make people really want to upgrade from first gen ryzen/APUs.

Yeah in my case I will be upgrading to either a  Ryzen 7 1700x/1800x or to a Zen+ cpu (same range) Till the Zen 2 or till then I might switch to intel who knows..
But yeah Ryzen 7 or ryzen 7 + is on my to buy list for sure

That's not typically how it would work.  First gen won't continue to be produced after a new generation is released.  Why would it?  I imagine the have already moved on and what you see available is just inventory.
