AMD Reveals Ryzen 7 Family, Pricing, and Radeon Vega Logo

[Jhelms]

As pointed out, time will tell on the XFR feature panning out. But if I was to throw my money out today, I think the 1700 (non x) looks to be the bang for the buck monster. Already building my new setup on paper - looking forward to the build!

Total number of transistors is a bit worrying (4.8 billion, haswell had 2.6)

Why is that worrying at all?

 

[Convexrook]

Mm, nope?

I mean this chip will be hot as F*&k and you know die size and coolers won't sit well, some new coolers on the way.

Intel still has this in the bag [ by the tray load].

 

[londiste]

3.6 billion.

isn't 6900k technically a cut-down 6950k? that would be 3.6 billion for 10 cores.

 

[suraswami]

If I get any tax returns going to ask them to deposit directly into AMD's account Send me those chips

 

[N3M3515]

Not worrying for Intel. Worrying for us.

That will continue to be a problem until a giant like intel either buys amd on enters the scene.

 

[coolernoob]

there is no need to compare 1800X vs i7-6900k... you can compare 1700 (no X for 329$) vs i7-6900k and still come to conclusion that even a 50% price drop would still make intels chip look very bad

 

[HD64G]

More transistors and still they have an 8-core, 16-thread CPU that is close to 6900K for $329 and with a 65W TDP? Miraculous achievement in my mind then...

 

[Evo85]

AMD doesn't have to beat Intel. All they have to do is be competitive. Intel has done most of the work of being beat.

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!

 

[TheGuruStud]

AMD has caught up, not suppressed Intel. I reckon Intel will make price adjustment and we will finally see 15% increase which Intel claims for Cannonlake.

How long it took AMD to catch up is what is worrying.

Intel has no architecture change until whatever in 2019. They have a shrink coming in 2H 2018 for desktop.

Unless you think sky to baby was a change... (Their engineers can whine all they want, they wasted their time).

ofcourse they did, with spies and leaks, they probably been aware of the ryzen performance for months. I just dont think they care.

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.

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

I think all the reviewers that took part in this event left it with the Ryzen samples, let see gaming benchmarks and OC potential

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Be prepared. The next news post from AMD will probably be OCer's breaking the Cinebench world record using an 1800X at 5.14 GHz on all cores using LN2 to get a score of 2449.

 

[Atnevon]

Some motherboards showing up on Newegg now

You get stock clock bumps of 100MHz, but if you have good cooling and don't feel like overclocking yourself this should prove out to be a nice "auto" overclocker.

Of course in a weeks' time we will see how much this bares out.

Exactly. Which is why I find value in it. I don't overclock anymore these days.

 

[cdawall]

Possibly because when mentioned performance is achieved there isn't much difference between "140w" intel and "95w" ryzen.

People often forget intel has never rated the same as AMD and the only thing I have ever seen come out of intel based on TDP is the capability to run higher wattage though the silicon. We have all seen what happens when you try to pull 140w through a 6700/7700k. Not quite the same issue with HEDT chips from them.

 

[Joss]

I have to admit, though, the 1700 makes the other two irrelevant. XFR might be interesting in theory, but for a 20/50% price premium? Not much., especially when considering all those chips are OC'able, making the clock differences also irrelevant to many. The whole thing doesn't make sense!

I agree with you,

1800x 8c/16t unlocked $499
1700x 8c/8t unlocked $399
1700 8c/8t locked $329

this would make more sense.

They will probably be locked by the TDP.

ALL ABOARD....THE HYPETRAIN!!!
Destination: whooping some fanbois

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.

 

[natr0n]

Analogy Time:
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.

 

[G33k2Fr34k]

It's a shame modern video games are shite and there's no point in upgrading your CPU/GPU any more.

Lets see if I can purchase i7 6900k for similar price as 1800X, Not going to happen.

I got my 6850K in the same price point as the 1600x is rumored to hit. Intel can price items right there they have made a choice to instead make billions in profit.

 

[Pure Wop]

Impressive, but seems no where close to breaking a world record or surpassing a 2679 V4? The 32-core Naples might, though.

 

[Ravenas]

Happy to see AMD coming out of the gutter with some new chips. I have been eager to update my process for quite sometime now. May preorder the 1800x once I have time to sit down and read a few reviews.

Not trying to add a nationalist comment here, but love the fact these are made in USA.
