AMD RYZEN is nearly releasing. Don't buy Intel now.

 

[Hellfire13]

^^ Good point. Although while the computing benchmarks of Ryzen looks promising, gaming benchmarks are anticipated to be much more sublime. It will take atleast another month if not more for the picture to be clearer overall.

 

[RCFProd]

AMD Ryzen looks so good at this point that I no longer think I need gaming benchmarks to be convinced. 52% IPC Boost over Excavator core, which is 15% better than Pile driver. They beat their goal by a few percents. The 1800X beat the Cinebench R5 world record at 5.14 Ghz, scoring a 2449. Taking the crown from the i7-6950X top scorer, clocked at 6.04 Ghz, scoring 2445.

If AMD RYZEN still flops for regular consumers I'll dive into the nearest sea and just become a fish.

:lol::lol::lol: Good one. But most of the benchmarks are still for multi threaded performance. I am still waiting for single core stats to come out. But yeah, must admit that it does look promising.

Looks like R3 and R5 won't release in March, signs point to Q2 and H2 2017

[Hellfire13]

I can already see 1700 and 1800 on PCPP.

Yes, RYZEN R7 is set to launch soon.

RIP R5 and R3 though, they should've really had all products ready right now to battle Intel.

 

[Hellfire13]

With their already aggressive pricing if Ryzen can compete gaming wise, Intel is doomed for sure. Hope there will be some semblance due to the price war.
