Ryzen

[Kevris]

I've seen the benchmarks. I've seen the pricing.

As someone running a 5930k on an X99 Deluxe motherboard, the only thing I have to say is: FUUUUUCK!!! I'VE BEEN ROBBED!!! FUCKING INTEL!!!

Rogean, you may want to send back that PC you just put together.

I like intel chips. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I'm hard pressed to believe that the latest Ryzen chip could compete on a professional overclocking level with the latest intel chip. If you're into that sort of thing. Like those competitions where they push these chips to their absolute limit with liquid nitrogen and shit.

I'm also highly upset with how the pc hardware market makes improvements. One company takes 1 step forward and that forces another company to take 1 step forward. None of them are releasing the real behind the scenes hardware. They're just edging us on to push stock so they can do it all over again. I think the biggest culprit is the gpu market.

And don't even get me started on prices of 'old' hardware,. artificially being kept high. grrr
So you know all this will do is cause intel to release their just ahead of the competition hardware. Then the competition will do the same and the cycle repeats. Why don't we ever get the real stuff. I believe they have chips for 2020+ that could potentially be released to market today.

ps. I5-4670k overclocked to 4.0ghz here. pretty much the only time it cranks up to max on all the cores is if I'm encoding video. Air cooled with a Noctua NH-D14 it has never gotten to uncomfortable temps even in the dead of summer. Voltage wise I've seen no issues so far.
Also I sometimes use intel's quick sync. So yeah.. Amd doesn't got that!

Umm....your multicore capabilities are still awesome. Since you are in the same position as I (with the exception of me having a 5820k), then watch the 2011-v3 processors drop in price in the next 6 months ish, and get yourself an upgrade.

We both have the same Motherboard, so if those 10 cores go down to half or less than what they are, I'll bite. Until then, my 5820k is freaking awesome and OC is real.

On a side note:
Ryzens are bad ass but about 1 year late. It took AMD a LONG time to come out with something better than their former architecture.

I don't need a CPU upgrade right now, but I am excited about Ryzen and the competition it will bring to the market. I hope it will match the hype and make Intel actually try again.

Kaby lake isn't something to scoff at. The single core performance is better than Ryzen. But, ya you're right Sage, about the competition. It's really about money loss. AMD does a great job bringing out quality items that compete well and it does keep Intel in check.

good thread. looking forward to heavy hitters giving a full analysis. for now I'm excited AMD is back in a big way.

[maskedmelonpai]

someone distill all these paragraphs into a sentence or two so I can know what to do please?

Problem is, Cinebench is absolutely stupid. It's crap compared to several other benchmarks that are used by gamers. Plus, Cinebench revolves around a desktop user in a work environment, not at home. Just my opinion.

At the very least what we can all agree on and distill from this topic is that Intel will be pushing out a new chip sometime soon(tm).
