This is a whole lot of spin, what appears to be blatant fan-ism and straw grasping. Some 85%+ of 8700K's hit 5ghz+. Any overclocking in general greatly benefits from the use of a good aftermarket cooling solution be it air, aio or water. I think you were trying to allude to the Wraith vs Intel's...

I'm with you but what is an FX6000 though? You've got to be referring to the FX / 5 Series.

This is awesome fucking news! I just replaced my lot of X-Series Gold/Platinum units in all my systems with Prime Platinum/Titanium ones. Been using Seasonic / Seasonic based units in all of my personal systems and those for friends & family pretty much exclusively the past 7-8+ years and have...

I had thought he just said there'd be an RX Vega and not all of them would be but you're probably correct. If that's the case then we'll probably see: Vega X Vega Nano X (????) Nano Then just shift my speculated list down. I really don't like "RX Vega/Nano X". I hope they come up with...

I think that the lower-end through high-end segments will indeed be filled out by little Vega and Polaris but it won't be the same Polaris tech of last year but rather a refresh. There's been mentions / rumors of Polaris 12 and XT2, I think these will be higher clocked variants, using less...

That's the thing with mGPU setups. When they work they work incredibly well (on paper) but when they don't work it can be a nightmare and incredibly frustrating. Not to mention that most SLI/Crossfire gamers of the past where both AMD and nVidia's most diehard/enthusiastic customers. Many...

Not that it matters TOO much but if we're discussing value overtime with those tier of parts it should be noted that starting with the 4770K, I believe, Intel stopped providing a HSF in the box. They originally framed it as it would save overclockers/enthusiasts money since most already had some...

I understand this and definitely agree. I have ran mutli-gpu setups on both configurations. The important thing here, imo, is mindshare. If the 8c / 16t park is a heavy hitter I'd wager lots of folks in the market for 6800K -> 6900K would absolutely consider it as an alternative. They are going...

The key part there was "in addition to what we're getting" I was stating instead of 16/32 potentially being for GPU's 32/48 would be for GPU's. 16x/16x multi-GPU, remaining 16 lanes for NVME, Networking, AIC etc From what I've seen X370 will only offer 8x/8x mGPU and that's due to shortage of...

Yeah, I never understand this sentiment and I have been seeing it all over recently, even on the GPU side. Intel's prices are a bit inflated, imo, due to the lack of competition from AMD's line-up but AMD is going to charge as much for these CPU's as their performance allows. If Ryzen...

If this is indeed the reasoning behind the latest licensing agreements this could be incredibly good for AMD and terrible for nVidia. If Zen truly is competitive and in 2017 and beyond we end up seeing every Zen-based APU and future Intel CPU's shipping with RTG/GCN Hardware it would be...
