AMD Reveals Ryzen 7 Family, Pricing, and Radeon Vega Logo
At a press event by AMD, company CEO Lisa Su unveiled the first three AMD Ryzen desktop processor models, the top-dog Ryzen 7-1800X, the Ryzen 7-1700X, and the Ryzen 7-1700. The R7-1800X is priced at USD $499, followed by the R7-1700X at $399, and the R7-1700 at $329. The three chips will be available for purchase on the 2nd of March, 2017. The R7-1800X is clocked at 3.60 GHz, with a TurboCore frequency of 4.00 GHz, and the XFR (extended frequency range) feature, which further overclocks the chip, depending on the effectiveness of your CPU cooler.
The Ryzen 7-1700X ships with 3.40 GHz clocks, with 3.80 GHz TurboCore frequency, and the XFR feature. The Ryzen 7-1700 lacks XFR, and comes with slightly lower clocks, at 3.00 GHz core, and 3.70 GHz TurboCore. All three are true 8-core chips, with 512 KB of dedicated L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Also featured are dual-channel DDR4 integrated memory controllers, and an integrated PCI-Express gen 3.0 root complex. The Ryzen 7-1700 has a TDP of just 65W (for a performance 8-core chip that's a kick in the butts of Intel's engineers), and will include an AMD Wraith Max cooling solution, while the 1700X and 1800X have TDP rated at 95W, and will come without coolers. At its media event, CEO Lisa Su stated that at $499, the Ryzen 7-1800X "smokes" the Intel Core i7-6900K eight-core processor. The company also unveiled the branding of its Radeon Vega enthusiast graphics family. Lastly, feast your eyes on the beautiful, 14 nm, Made-in-USA die-shot of Ryzen.

Intel still has this in the bag [ by the tray load].
Intel isn't going to halve the prices of their processors overnight. That would be a publicity nightmare. And they can't push out a competitive processor at that price overnight either.
The hard truth is Intel didn't see this coming and they have been caught with their pants down. Which is a good thing. It's good to be humbled from time to time.
Let the CPU wars begin again!
Unless you think sky to baby was a change... (Their engineers can whine all they want, they wasted their time).
The majority will stick to what they trust. I doubt ryzen is going to affect intel a lot in 2017.
AMD has thrown everything on this bandwagon, and if Intel launch canonlake with agressive pricing and 15%(real this time) improved IPC, AMD is fucked.
Nobody hopes that will be the case of course, but i will imagine its going to be the case.
1800x 8c/16t unlocked $499
1700x 8c/8t unlocked $399
1700 8c/8t locked $329
this would make more sense.

The claims AMD are making are so way beyond expectations that even if the reality is less, it´s still a small wonder what they did. You simply cannot minimize the achievement here.
The complacency that AMD´s rivals had will now be paid in market share.
Intel is Hulk Hogan/A nobody jabroni
AMD is Iron Sheik/A Legend
And if you know shieky baby
"I will suplex you, put you in the Camel Clutch, break your back and fck your ass make you humble."
Can't wait to upgrade my dinosaur.
Not trying to add a nationalist comment here, but love the fact these are made in USA.
