No surprises here, just as previously reported. Eight core desktop CPUs with sixteen threads (not sixteen cores and thirty-two threads), will be very powerful desktop CPUs with a max TDP of 95w. That's right 95w max for the Zen core desktop CPUs. Zen based APUs obviously will have a range of...

Obviously if properly designed, engineered and produce from the get go, they should perform properly with the new Intel CPUs. This is just marketing hype for the technically challenged. Let's hope that Gigabyte has learned from their recent VRM design issues and has their act together again as...

Ya gotta wonder how many hundreds of patches, updates will be required for Microsuck's Mistake # 10.

The Zen cores will be used across the entire AMD product line in both discrete CPUs and APUs for both consumer and enterprise. Zen was designed from the ground up to meet the performance and power consumption requirements of many segments. The max discrete CPU TDP is 95w for an 8-core. The Zen...

Not likely that a 3-5% change will make a game playable. Lets say we're at 10 FPS and you gain 5%. The net is 10.5 FPS. I doubt a half FPS is the diff in playability. If we're at 20 FPS then it's still only 1 FPS diff. It simply is not going to change a "no go" game into a playable game.

It's nice to see some folks have finally figured out that there is no need to upgrade when a new CPU or DRAM series is released and offers no tangible system performance boost. If you're upgrading just because you want some new toys, that's perfectly fine. If you're updating because you didn't...

It's funny to read the technical ignorance from people without a clue... It's easy to dupe the clueless.

Zen is a huge performance leap for AMD and also a very versatile core that will be applied across AMD's entire product line. Intel will be playing catch-u[p once again, especially in APUs. Hating on AMD products is a waste of energy. The current AMD products provide good performance and...

Well it has lots of heat pipes but until we see how it performs and what it costs, it's hard to determine the value. At least it doesn't leak coolant... ;)

Depending on how well this HSF performs and it's price, will determine it's success. I'm thinking it's going to be mid-field in the tower crowd with only four heat pipes. As far as liquid cooling goes, technically astute PC enthusiasts are aware that AIO/CLCs are basically inferior cooling...

If your RAM is operating at 40C or higher, it's probably over-volted or defective. This stuff is for the technically challenged spending mommy's money on marketing hype.

Exactly. And GloFo will be delivering a variety of 13 Nm chips - CPU, APU and GPU for said customers.

...except few people have any need for such quantity of DRAM let alone DDR4. <LOL> Most systems do fine with 8-16 GB and more does not produce better performance. In fact some OSs can't even use more than 16-64 GB of RAM. Once you understand that DDR3 running at 1600 MHz or higher is not s...

Depending on how well they cool, these might be viable coolers for many. I suggest checking reputable HSF review sites (Frosty Tech, Hardware Secrets, etc.) before spending on CPU coolers. Then you'll have accurate cooling performance data to make an informed decision. You simply can't tell how...

The sucker will buy these with Mommies money...
