At least intel was right for one thing, the amd glue is perfectly working for doubled the performance from Ryzen R7 series..

AMD done it, a crossfire with their CPU, why not ..

Still curious about the power and temp..



Bring it the coffe lake x and canon lake x soon intel... give us much more happines.

This is accurate. No one knowing their history can deny it. So is ">3Ghz 16c/32t CPU for $999 is AWESOME". One can argue theoretical scenarious in which AMD didn't make Bulldozer and Intel didn't reigned alone for a long while all day long but here we are. AMD is damned near disruptive at the moment, at least CPU-side and from a viewpoint many users share. They are competitive in a duopoly, which is the important thing. I wish VIA would amaze us once again (and make some nanoITX boards while they're at it, preferebly with two NICs), but again theoreticals.
I would up "damned near" to "definitely disruptive" to Intel, at least. That is likely why Intel is crying GLUE! :D

I'm sorry, but what are you smoking? You think it's too much to pay $999 for a 16-core CPU when Intel wants $1,699 for their yet to launch counterpart. :kookoo:

What does AMD have to do, give their CPUs away for free to make people happy? Yet Intel can apparently ask whatever they want for their chips and everyone's cheering...

I was going to ask the same thing:kookoo:

There's something going on here. AMD does not want to release properly clocked single-CCX quads with SMT. I'll tell why: Because such CPUs would outperform their current 8-core CPUs in games and certain other tests.

The more likely answer is that it stops them from being able to scavenge parts from defective chips, AMD has focused on their 8 cores as being the high end rather than what we are used to with Quads, and the fact that whenever the hell their APU's actually release, that they will be a single 4 core CCX.

What I am saying is that Intel set the bar for current processor pricing and that AMD is almost certainly pricing against that bar. If the bar were at $1,200 or less, AMD may have similarly priced their new entry at a correspondingly high discount - say $700.

So, the lack of competition, at least as I see it, has inflated prices.

No, the AMD offerings are far from overpriced when compared against Intel and Intel's prices, however, if Intel chooses to be aggressive in its future pricing, we might see prices on procs like this come down to lower levels.

These are flagship products. They are priced substantially lower than old AMD flagship products once inflation is accounted for.

Not nearly the same level of disruption, and in the enterprise space... I am just imagining trying to convince a cio to switch.

These are definitely fair prices; but amd's goal was to gobble up market share as fast as possible before intel reacts, and these will slow them down vs a $699 12 core and a $799 16 core (hopefully they do have lower end variants that can be had for this).

AMD sure has done a nice job with scaling Ryzen with minimal efforts all the way from consumer entry level desktop to data center. Threadripper is no exception. MCM has its disadvantages, and I personally am very interested what impact it has to gaming performance and VM usage (oh yes, people do like to game on their HEDT machines too).

I am confident enough with Ryzen/EPYC offerings that I did something I have never done before: bought some stocks (AMD), which at the current price still seem rather undervalued. I believe AMD has bright near to mid term future regardless how the graphics solutions work out.

Sure, they can scavenge to produce ryzen 3 and 5. But when their APUs will come out, they can still sell their quad cores with no graphics to OEMs. And even better, they can use defective 8 cores to make lower core count threadrippers and epyc processors. So a successful strategy can be to gradually swap r3 and r5 with apus and even increase profit margins over damaged chips. This mcm design can become a gold mine

I like how he/they put gaming first on a 16c32t chip

Just the other day TPU were bashing Intel for their PR bullshit, yet you embrace AMD's PR bullshit. It's sad to see the days of unbiased reporting has ended. It's fine to be though on bullshit, but you have to strive for fairness and be unbiased.

Except I posted my opinion as a comment, and not part of the article. Next time you pull something like this, you meet the banstick.

Ah the war has started.
16 cores for $999 not bad, plus the cooler of course as not a single cooler you have right now will work on SP3r2 socket. So it's $999 and at least $100 for the AIO.
I wonder what the power draw will be for this? Should be pretty high at 300W+ with all cores at 4GHz. Interesting times ahead.

Who cares. Your missing a few FPS here and there, but once paired with a decent videocard your usually above 60FPS or much more.

Point being is that AMD plants a CPU for a very very decent price where intel milked their top tier products for years. Competition is good for all of us.

The prices probably won't be be published before the 27th. But looking at the MSRP from Ryzen 5 1400 ($169), I would estimate $129-139 for the Ryzen 3 1300X and $99-109 for Ryzen 3 1200.

Right, I have had enough of blind fanboys who can not look products based on numbers, but instead resort to emotions.

I think some of you are reading too far into the 1300X model not selling well. That cpu is going to be marketed for users that are either newer to pc building or that do not want to overclock their systems. There are plenty of people in the world that do not want to mess with the overclock settings.

AMD is a business and they cater to the market. Most enthusiasts will buy the non x models and overclock to save money where as the rest will not.

Anyone needing that many core I can only assume it will also need a lot of ram.
Ryzen RAM support is been kind of shady.
It should not have issue supporting 64GB+ of RAM with no issues.

These are flagship products. They are priced substantially lower than old AMD flagship products once inflation is accounted for.
:confused: Did it sound like I was complaining?

Honestly, I viewed my comment as 1) speculation, 2) concern that AMD and Intel might find a way to artificially inflate prices even more given Intel, due to the lack of competition, inflated an 8-core HEDT proc to a price approximately 50% more than a 6-core HEDT proc. IMO, that kind of practice is nuts, but when an entity can do something and get away with it, most likely it will.

If I put myself in Intel's place, they may also have seen "enthusiasts" as a cash cow, and thus, if customers wanted the bragging rights, customers would have to pay for them even though there was no technical basis for that price. Yes, they are free to set prices as they want, but when is the constant milking going to end?

Agree with me or not as you please, this move may be a good thing in that it might bring back true competition and price parity - in other words follow the natural course of economics and technology.

And also agree with me or not as you please, another possible course is that this might just devolve into price fixing. Intel and AMD have done it before.

Time will tell, but my hope is that AMD and Intel will let things evolve naturally.
