PC - Thoughts on Ryzen? - View Post

I was just talking to a microcenter salesman. Yesterday, actually. He said the single core performance isn't quite matching with intel. He also said that having all those extra cores is useless if they're not being taken advantage of. I'd saw this thread before remembering to fact-check, but, this stuff better come out soon. I need to see benchmarks. I need a much more powerful PC than what mine is currently delivering. 4790k is no where close to cutting it, and I'm not paying 1500 on a CPU...

Yeah. I think AMD is just countering lower per-core performance with higher clocks, more threads.

But they are "close enough" to Intel.

We all need some reliable benchmarking done by the likes of Anandtech.

For me personally, AMD has dropped the ball, they don't have any high-end boards...

Been waiting years for Ryzen. Still running a FX 8350. If the benchmarks are real I am all in.

Any word on a release for Vega?

Should be a night-and-day increase for you.

As for Vega... AMD stated first-half of 2017.

When AMD gives out quarter or half-year release window estimations... They tend to drop towards the end, so expect Vega to start dropping around the middle of the year.

I use my CPU for editing videos and stuffs. I'm not switching to AMD.

Even if they provide more performance at a cheaper price? What's your current CPU?
