CPU/Mobo AMD Ryzen CPUs launched
- Thread starter bssunilreddy
- Start date
If the 1700 CPU comes for, say, around Rs. 25k-30k and a decent mobo for around 10k (total under 40k) I will certainly be highly tempted to swap out my current Core i5-6500 (skylake) and H170 mobo! Drooling at those 8 cores at just 65w.
If at they beat the $1000 Intel Processors then they highly viable or else considering Indian pricing of AMD components they will go waste this time around also.
Based on the leaked Single threaded performance, AMD R7 1700X barely outperforms my i5-2500 (Non-k) Sandy Bridge.

Yup, for gamers probably intel's i5 may still make sense (depending on real benchmarks when the CPU actually comes out in the open) but I'm more interested in power efficiency at idle/low load (some leaks say ryzen has strong per-core power gating) and MOAR COREs for stuff like code compiling.
The best part is that all the Green Goblins and Intel fanboys have disappeared into their caves for once
This guy finally got convicted

Ryzen is giving tough time to intel. But I am more interested in how much it beats intel in ipc and per core performance. Not every program uses multiple cores and that too efficiently.
I don't understand why they went ahead with less number of PCIe lanes and only dual channel memory for 1700x and 1800x.
AMD has been using HBM for quite a time now and it would have been fantastic have it supported in cpu with future motherboard upgrades.

Not going to happen anytime soon because the tech is still new and it's still way too expensive and will bring prices up at a time when AMD needs to be competitive, we might see it in Zen+ APU's in 2019 probably.
Either way, i really do hope they can integrate hbm. im very curious to see what an apu with hbm would be like. plus, the way vega accesses memory is also changed, quite possibly to make future hbm implementations possible/easier.
I'm no expert, but from what i understood of bulldozer based apus, their biggest achilles heel was memory bandwidth (at least a bigger bottleneck than single thread perf. imo) because they seemed to get a bigger perf. boost with faster memory than a straight-up overclock. (kinda defeated the purpose since an apu is cheap but hyperfast memory isn't)
what makes an hbm-vega-apu in India particularly interesting to me is that it could make the cost of gaming much lower because (as pointed out to me earlier) cpu prices are less inflated than that of gpu's in India.
Yess, How about Dual CPU support with Quad Channel Memory support. That would be awesome.
That's asking for a bit too much, when was the last time we had a consumer cpu that did that ? The last time that happened was one of the Core i7 9xx iirc.
It's good enough that you can build a workstation off of this or you could just wait for Naples.

Yes, maybe wait for Naples that can support HBM.
HBM is entirely another chapter which will revolutionize PC Gaming altogether and AMD is the pathfinder in this concept.
So hoping they bring it soon.
