I know the gpu's where the main atraction, but haardly anything got said about zen. Aside from the 40% stronger than bulldozer.

Anyone has any more info on this? Like price, or where is it ranked among other cpu's?

That's all we have that's official. There was a report last week though that the 8 core Zen CPU will be twice as fast as the previous FX 8350,  fast enough to compete against a high end Intel i7. I'm pretty sure that would mean that Zen would top Intel's latest Skylake CPU's in each price range. Price is expected to be somewhere around $120 for 4 core, $160 for 6 core, and $200 for 8 core I think, but that's just speculation. The rumored 2x increase in performance comes from a mixture of the 40% more instructions per clock that AMD mentioned, as well as AMD's new simultaneous multi-threading technology. 

From what I've heard, Zen should be 4-5% slower than Skylake. Which is a great step forward for AMD and with conscious pricing will bring them back to life in CPU market. And their APUs! Dang, these new APUs! I know I will be building a PC around an AMD APU for my dad next year Zero Intel and nVidia for the first time in my life.
