Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
AMD Ryzen CPUs will launch by March 3
- Thread starter TC McQueen
- Start date
I think you're right and the fears that people just want Intel to rebrand one of their lower level CPUs to be able to buy Intel are overblown. If AMD comes to within 10-15% of Intel for half the price, people will switch or finally make their upgrades, rather than just waiting for Intel's response.
If the leaks are true (and the more I read, the more likely I think it is the case), AMD should be OK. And we're all better for it.

Weeks ago a guy on Overclock.net with retail friends said with certainty it will release on the 28th.
Then this sort of confirms that:

My i7 920 might finally be due a replacement 😂

Looking at their 2Y chart... you'll be buying in at their max price, so its risky, but if you truly believe Ryzen is the start of something big for them then by all means jump in. I remember when I didn't buy NVDA at $17/share in college. Really sad about it now obviously lol
not bad for a $60 chip, at least the st perf
better than ryzen
Lol. That single thread performance is almost twice as fast as mine D:
FX6300, running stock 3.5Ghz, turbo off
I'm keeping an eye on it. It's trending down right now slowly (has since Monday)
I'm VERY new to the stock market, but I'm going to keep a watch on it this upcoming week.

My 5960X@4.5Ghz against reference 5960X
No way Ryzen 6 cores at 3.7Ghz can beat a reference 5960X, no way.....just impossible..

Hype rising.
This is a bit offtopic here and can derail the thread -) but from what is happening for the last couple of years it's pretty clear that they don't intend to - their way of "fixing" this is to promote the usage of DX12 and VK APIs where the actual fixing is down to developers.
Those scores are kinda high. Here's mine on a 5930k @4.5Ghz.
If that is really a 3.3GHz/3.7 GHz, the performance (on this test) would blow out Intel's.
As someone who still owns a reasonable amount that I invested at $2, I'd be very cautious about that. Like, I'm not gonna say it's a completely bad idea to put a bit of money down on it(I have yet to sell off the whole bundle I bought at $2), but it's an insane amount higher than it used to be.

It's still not even close to the levels we saw in 2000 and I don't think it ever will be again but even 2006 was several times higher. With a great CPU line you guys don't think it's possible it could even make it back say halfway to 2006 values at 20 per?

The question is will the ones below the mid end be worth buying over Intel. Probably not. Mid/high though could be likely.

Just thinkig about getting a 8/16 CPU for a reasonable price turns me on.

Man, the Core2Quad were such an amazing series. Especially the Q9xxxmy old Q9550, which will likely be succeeded by Ryzen

Yes, Phenom II was actually pretty good as well and performed close to Core 2 but cost too much to make and thus AMD had much smaller margins.

5820k at 4.5Ghz
And I have issues where I can only use two memory sticks, 4 will not post, tried multiple sets etc. Switched out the CPU and Mobo with RMA etc. Might be switching time again for me.

20MB L3 cache? I thought it was 16MB for the 1800X.

28th is the GDC event with livestreaming, 2nd of March is when it will launch I think, with 3rd party benchmarks, etc.

I think it's possible, thus why I haven't sold it. That being said, buying stock at this level feels like betting. Where I'm at now, even if there's a crash on the stock I'll still make more than a 200% profit.

Where'd you find this?

Yea, I was in the thread asking about stock buying tips for AMD back when it was $2 a stock. But I'm a student with no money. It made more sense for me to do retail arbitrage type stuff to keep cash on hand and quicker healthier returns. Still a bummer, as this is the third of fourth time in the last few years I've missed on some healthy returns by not having the means to invest properly.

Just got it from the CPU-Z website, installer version.

Yeah I know but apparently it could launch then as well. We'll see soon.

Hmm, yeah, I did that and now I'm on 1.78.3. 1.78.1 never prompted to update.
This version has an improved interface for the benchmark which shows your processor name.
