    It is always a bit of a question, is it click-bait from an etailer, or is it the real thing. Over atÂ*Greek online retailer Skroutz twoÂ*16-coreÂ*Threadripper Processors surfaced online in their store...

    I hope it won't be a wallet ripper as well. :)

    This is great for all consumers. Whether or not it can compete clock for clock with intels sklyake x etc is irrelevant, because if people see that they can buy a cpu with more cores with a motherboard that has 44pci lanes top to bottom, they might think long term it's a better and possibly cheaper option and intel will have to react accordingly.

    The 4 core b.s race is over, and it would be pointless to say '10, 12, 16 cores is overkill' because then sooner it's available the sooner it will become mainstream and I applaud AMD for doing what intel held off doing for far too long because of their market dominance.

    Competition is a sweet sweet thing indeed.

    16 core & 32 thread CPU would make H.265 encoding almost bearable. I would definitely find use for all those cores. It also looks like the real competitions between AMD and Intel is finally happening again.

    I think those gonna be the prices for the upcoming Cpu's:
    1998X $1599
    1998 $1399
    1977X $1299
    1977 $1199
    1976X $1099
    1956X $999
    1956 $849
    1955X $699
    1955 $599

    ????
    The Intel Core i7-6950X sells for $1649 on newegg now, and its only 10C cpu, so why AMD do suicide and sell the top 16core CPU for $999, remember it's not for gaming like 1800X vs 7700K, in CB and similar multi core rendering etc' already the 1800X comes near i7 6950X so the 16Core will crush it, this is why I think $1599 will be good price by AMD.
    And like the 1700 vs 1800X the 1998 will be much cheaper and best seller 16Core .
    Man I can't wait :), last time I was so exited was 12 years ago when I finished High school :).

    Pricing?

    I suspect the pricing will start at $500 and will go up to $1,600. The 1800x will go down to $450. This is what my crystal ball says.

    The reasoning is the AMD 10 core will compete against Intel's 6 core, 12 vs 8, 14 vs 10, 16 vs 12. This would land the pricing right around Intel in each bracket and if AMD's scaling is as good as I expect it to be then AMD should be the clear winner in each of the price comparisons.

    I really want AMD to get back into the game, but I think Intel still has the upper hand when it comes to performance per watt so it's going to be a tough race.

    You do realize upcoming i9 are rated 175W TDP (wow)? What performance per watt are you talking about?

    That chart lists value, not performance. If you'd linked to the actual page you got that chart from, it's explained in the article. I'll use the article you (sort of) linked to explain what I mean.

    http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/105961-amd-ryzen-5-1400-ryzen-5-1600-14nm/?page=9

    Intel is at times ahead in offering more performance per watt. Granted, this isn't always the case, and it's not something I'd factor into a purchasing decision anyway.

    Power Consumption:

    Gaming Performance:

    Intel is generally matching or beating AMD while using less power in the case of the 4c8t options. So you could say a 7700K has more performance per watt than the AMD 1400 (also a 4c8t processor). You could still argue the 1400 is better value as it isn't far behind and costs considerably less.

    To be fair, that's a 10c20t CPU (Intel) up against an 8c16t CPU (AMD).

    Please look at the 1500x in your linked charts.
    And two cores on the 6950x would likely be the difference in power but as the 1800X matched or beats the 6950x in a lot of multithreaded tasks and the argument was Intel beats Ryzen in performance per watt those charts are very relevant.

    I didn't even notice the 1500 there to be honest, although I was more using the same article that poster used as an example for performance per watt VS value than anything. The results seem odd given the 1500 is using less power than the 1400, but then I don't normally use the Hexus website.

    I'm not disagreeing with the thought that AMD is better than Intel in certain respects at the moment. I wouldn't touch a 4c4t Intel processor with a barge pole at the moment if I was in the process of building a new system. I think Ryzen offers incredible price/performance for most consumer market segments, and that unless you have specific needs that favour Intel hardware you're better off saving a chunk of money.

    At this moment the only real knock on the Ryzen CPU is the memory. I love the CPU just waiting to see how Threadripper turns out.

    LOL you mean 6900K, AMD 1800X could never beat 6950X in anything it is the half power in everything. OMG. Do not misinform the forums :bang:

    6900K vs 1800X
    6850K vs 1700X
    7700K vs 1700

    That was the battle since day one.

    6950X is the one and only king at the moment.

    Granted it gets beat some too but not by $1000 worth.

    No way they price that high tbh. At this point, AMD is trying to move customers away from Intel and even if their 16c is faster than Intel's 12c, a lot of people just feel more comfortable with Intel.

    The way to ease them out of that comfort zone is to offer better performance at a far lower price (as they did with the first Ryzen SKUs).

    Now is not the time to compete with Intel on a dollar for dollar basis. If AMD keeps producing with their excellent CPUs, that time will come smartly.

    Another key factor in all of this is how Intel prices the Skylake-X CPUs, if they ignore AMD and price the 7920x at over $1700.00, that might well pave the way for AMD to steal a lot of Intel customers if the price is right.
