Soooo AMD just had their press conference showing off the Ryzen processors....

 

• Ryzen 7 1800X: 8C/16T, 3.6 GHz base, 4.0 GHz turbo, 95W, $499
• Ryzen 7 1700X: 8C/16T, 3.4 GHz base, 3.8 GHz turbo, 95W, $399
• Ryzen 7 1700: 8C/16T, 3.0 GHz base, 3.7 GHz turbo, $329

Thoughts on these?? I'm pretty excited for at least some healthy competition in the market; which is always good for every consumer. I feel like the prices could have been a bit more competitive... It seems a consistant $30 cheaper than the Intel counterpart is what they went for; but i guess it's better than nothing. 

 

$30 cheaper than the Intel counterpart? What's the price of intel's 8core 16 thread you're comparing those to?

 

Exactly...

 

The most important here will be to see the IPC of these processors and games starting to make use of those real 8 cores. 

 

I'm hyped to see some real world benchmarks, but for now I've got a good feeling about AMD.

 

Just got last year a 6700k and a gtx 1070 for battlefield 1, so realistically I'll be aiming for Ryzen+ & Navi on the next update.

 

Bring it!
