Forums - PC Discussion - AMD Summit Ridge (Zen) CPU Pricing leaked

shikamaru317 said:

If those Cinebench scores are accurate, Summit Ridge will top Intel's Skylake CPU's in every price range. We don't know how it will stack up against Intel's upcoming Kaby Lake CPU's though, which will also be releasing in Q1 2017. Regardless, AMD being competitive in the CPU market for the first time in 5 years should be great, it'll be nice to see Intel on their toes again.

Cinebench scales very well with more cores. It doesn't mean it'll be the same in games though.

Come on AMD. Come back to life please! We have been in the quad core era for too long T_T



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

I am holding my money until next year, my Phenom 6x T1090 is showing its age, I want a good quad core, and if AMD doesn't deliver I will buy a 6500k then.

Agreed. That being said, AMD is claiming that IPC is up by 40% over Excavator, and Excavator was up 15% over Bulldozer, which was used in the last line of AMD desktop CPU's. So, if Zen is indeed 55% faster than Bulldozer per core at the same clockrate, Summit Ridge should at least equal Skylake in games that only utilize 4 threads, and might even compete aganst Kaby Lake in games that utilize more than 4 threads. 

1.15 * 1.40 = 1.61

so in theory Zen would be 61% faster than Bulldozer

 

 



Been waiting years for this.

It's never a good idea to use only one benchmark to judge a product. Even less in this case as Cinebench scales well with more cores and Zen has AMD's version of Hyoper Threading, which means double the threads per core.

I'd wait until actual reviews to make any conclusions.

Oh, and that OC3D table has a typo, the SR3 chips has a TDP of 65W, not 95.

I'd naturally want to see their high end CPU in action versus Intel's before I even think about touching an AMD CPU. They should aim a little more for the high end competition than the low end though.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Some actual competition would be nice on both the CPU and GPU front.

Intel and Nvidia are dominating and have been for too long. It's not good for us consumers.

Nowadays, AMD compete in the low en with Intel's i3 processors. If thanks to Zen they can compete in the mid range against Intel's i5, I'd say that Zen/AMD have done a great job.

SR5 is what i would likely choose.
