AMD "New Horizon" Event to Preview ZEN Processor Mid-December

The preview will see eSports and Evil Geniuses legend PPD put "Zen" through its paces, according to its announcement. With this AMD appears to be showing off the chip's advanced gaming capabilities. " If you're serious about gaming, this is an event you do not want to miss," AMD's announcement signs off. The event stream goes live on the 13th of December, at 15:00 CST (21:00 hrs UTC).

My 8350 has performed its duties well; it is time for Zen. I can't wait for my new gaming rig :)

We can game on a 8350 as well, we want to see raw CPU power here.
Yup never had trouble with mine stock or overclocked.

What nobody seems to realise is that the demonstration is supposed to convince people of the possibility of gaming on the ZEN igpu is good enough for "esports" enthusiasts and casual gamers, thus saving you from buying a separate graphic card. This will also benefit HTPC builders and probably laptop gaming down the line.

Zen won't do anything for people that are already planing to buy a sepate gpu (i.e: most people reading this forum).

I don't think the CPU part of the APU will be any better than the current intel offering for gaming, unless there is some sort of price-perf advantage.
