Looks like we finally have some competition again that has to push down prices! Ryzen 7 1800x vs intel core i7 6900k. The ryzen is slightly faster with half the price. Both 8 core 16 threads. The lower range 1700 vs 6800k its 8 cores vs 6cores for 100usd less and also outperforming it. Sweetspot for consumers will propably be there 1600 etc with 6 cores and 12 threads with a price lower than intels 4 core 8 thread i7 7700k hopefully! |

And the most important part......there stock cooler has RGB!!!!!

These are what the industry has been crying out for. Intels CPUs have hardly changed since the second generation i7 . I see some big price drops coming from Intel and possibly the first mainstream 8 core pretty soon .

They talk about a 6 core mainstream part. If that is the case i will jump to ryzen next. Unless the extreme 8cores get cheap ofcourse.

I have a 6 core intel 5820k and it beats my 4790k in everything apart from gaming were its basically the same give or take one or two frames . Im looking at a new system around october tis year and if benchmarks are true i will be going to AMD and one of the 8 core cpu' .

It'll be competition at the very highest end but only if you need more than 4 cores, which most people don't presently. 4 fast cores still win easily against more slower ones in games. The most important aspect for gamers will be the mid range parts. How high can the 6 core be clocked for example that is a big question, because Ryzen does not appear as fast as Broadwell IPC. Broadwell @ 3ghz was as fast single threaded as Ryzen @ 3.3ghz. Ryzen having no integrated graphics means it's going to be cheaper for gaming but the vast majority of PC sales (notebooks, OEM desktops) use integrated and that rules it out of like over 70 percent of the market for the moment. What gamers really want is Intel to stop blocking overclocking and ditch the iGPU on select mainstream parts to make them cheaper. |

Intel with its agressive pricing will throw ppl at ryzen. More cores for less money will get alot of attention. They kept on taking there prices up. When i got my 3rd gen i7 it cost 290eur and now a i7 still witc 4 cores costs 420eur thats just creedy. If they take prices down and give us a 6 core for like 300 it will be good again.

The k series i3 was a joke also requiring a decent motherboard and cost almost as far as the non k i5s. They made the pentium chips hyper threaded and will make the newer i5 hyper threaded but will also bring the price up. The pentium chip now costs the same what an i3 was.

Ryzen's strategy is becoming quite clear, more but slower cores. For example if the 3.3ghz 1600x 6C/12T comes in at 260 pounds in the U.K, you can get a 3.8ghz 7600k for as low as 210 pounds. 7600k is probably gonna beat up that processor on anything that uses 4 cores or less. 1600X is gonna win on anything that uses 5+ cores. You spend the extra if you really are going to use 6 cores a lot. You don't if you won't. Overclocking is one factor less known. If the 6 cores or 8 cores for example do overclock well to improve their single core performance then it would swing it towards Ryzen. |

Its there first attempt with this architecture. Next one will propably get refinements and higher clocks. Still impressive the tdp on them. It will have a disadvantage in having dual channel vs intels quad on the E series i7s.
