I really like that single threaded performance. AMD has been jobbing to Intel on that metric for a long, long time.

Nobody knows but if you're not in already, you don't have a lot of time until March 3rd.

There are also these benchmarks in the comments of the Reddit thread.

These pics have been floating recently:
I honestly never expected so many models.
Assuming 1800X is $500, with the previous leak of 1600X around ~$300, 1400X will probably end up $200 and 1200X/1100 competing against the Pentium G4560 at <$100.

Well, here is an excerpt from that article linked on page 5:
"On the basis of our estimates, the 14nm Zen core should offer performance somewhere between that of Intel's Ivy Bridge and Haswell generations on integer workloads. Although Zen-based processors cannot rival the latest Skylake core in high-end clients, AMD's eight-core Summit Ridge chip should be a credible contender for midrange desktops. The company will thus have a shot at PC designs that were previously out of reach, expanding its market share and increasing average selling prices. Future Zen-based notebook processors should be similarly compelling, although they won't arrive until late 2017."
That could explain somewhat the cost. It would still be pretty good. Anything above would be even better.
Edit: Well, if leaked benches are true, then ignore above. A little bit less IPC performance for 4 more cores vs 7700K? Not bad at all.

I've got a little too much on my plate atm to really compare numbers, but that looks really competitive, at least from the "all stock" benches.
Looks like this Ryzen CPU they were using beat all but the two top i7's in most categories? Isn't that one supposed to be pretty affordable?
Did I get that right?

For me, it's the TDP that's the most impressive part. A 3.7ghz 8 core/16 thread CPU with Broadwell-E IPC with a 65w TDP!?
That's an incredible breakthrough in performance per watt and puts AMD in a great position to tackle the high volume notebook market with very competitive APUs.

True. I really want to see what these chips can do when they are watercooled.
They kinda cornered themselves with the Wraith line

Voltage is extremely low at 0,9V from what I have seen.
So it's possible they sacrificed clock speed for efficiency - I hope this means they overclock well.

Their new Wraith coolers' performance is just shy of the 212 EVO.
That's good enough for most people who want a light overclock on the 8370, so it should be more than enough for an average overclock on the newer, cooler chips, to be honest...

You have to admit the pricing is quite impressive as well : )

Even if the ipc is haswell level, as long as it can easily run at 4.5ghZ @ 8 cores, you are getting a smoking deal at $380! My 5960x cost me $1k 3 years ago, and Intel has not been doing anything to bring better cpu to consumers
Most if not all games at present will not be cpu limited at 4.5gh. AMD is gunning for Intel for real now! PC builders rejoice!

Aren't these the same though?

This pic is confirmed as some forum guy render.
Launch date would be my guess. Although since this is AMD it may be a couple of weeks after that.
Wccftech claims that they have pricing for entire Ryzen lineup [derived from converting Yuan listing to Dollar]:
8c/16t
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X - $499
AMD Ryzen 7 1700X - $389
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - $319
6c/12t
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X - $259
AMD Ryzen 5 1500 - $229
4c/8t
AMD Ryzen 5 1400X - $199
AMD Ryzen 5 1300 - $175
4c/4t
AMD Ryzen 3 1200X - $149

It would be a total reversal that's for sure.
AMD struggled not only with IPC but efficiency so their laptop chips were awful and their FX line had to use an inordinate amount of power to be anything like competent. Fixing both of these issues will put Intel on notice and not before time.
Let's hope AMD have hit a winner here.

Here's to AMD stocks lol. Sucks to be a poor student. I was wanting to buy stocks back before their huge climb but didn't have the cash. I think they likely still have a bit of ways to go up. Still don't have the money to make it worthwhile. Retail arbitrage type stuff nets me a larger return for my meagre cash flow.
These're before taxes I assume? Trying to figure out the final euro prices.

Any of these should be a huge improvement over my current FX 6100.

Those sound about right. A 6c/12t CPU is going to blow my fucking mind. I may spend an extra $75 and do an 8c/16t while I can for my video editing once I get my GH5.

I'm almost a little envious as someone with a 5820k. I love my processor, but I'd love to support AMD in this. Maybe I'll sell. Who knows. Not much reason for me to do so currently though.
Either way I'm excited at the prospects for competition.

Ooooh, I'm good with my 4.8GHz i7 4790K but I wouldn't mind jumping on the 6+ core Ryzen boat.

Note that those are not the leaked prices, but rather an adjusted price based on current Yuan/Dollar price differences for Intel chips. the leaked prices are around 20%-25% higher, as stated by wccftech themselves in the article:
They have estimated and adjusted them down based on current CPU mark-up, but like most of the benchmarks, are not yet confirmed, but mostly "estimated".
I'll personally wait for both reliable, repeatable benchmarks and official pricing before celebrating AMD's return to relevance in the CPU market.

Considering that R5 1600x looks like it's coming with the new RGB Wraith cooler that should be good for a mild overcook out of the box, that looks like the defacto recommendation for a gaming rig instead of the i5 7600k to me now if all these rumours stack up.
B350 motherboards should come in much cheaper than Z270 boards as well so you're looking at an overall amazing bang for your buck with genuine upgrade options to boot.

I'm still on a Phenom II rig and at the time of building, one of the main reasons for choosing the platform was that the motherboards for AMD were always generally 50 quid or more cheaper for the same features as the intel ones. I'll be interested to see the prices of CPU+Mobo compared to the equivalent Intel platform. If nothing at least it may drive the price of Intel down.
Why havent you OCd already, get some cheap 50$ cpu cooler and get "free" boost.

Did my own passmark against Ryzen, this is a 5960X at 4.5ghz.
2600K is 5Ghz
FX9590 is whopping 5.15Ghz
7700K is 4.8Ghz
6700K is 4.9Ghz
The rival 6900K is also at 4.5Ghz
If Ryzen scores are only 3.4Ghz, at 4.5Ghz, it should give 20K scores, which will rekt the similarly priced 7700K in multicore performance!

Does the R7 1700 include a cooler?

I'm pretty much going to go with a 1700 over a 7700k if the performance is within 10% but is priced less than a 7700K.

My badly overklocking and loud i5-4670k might get replaced by ryzen. The good thing about Intel CPUs is, you can still sell for quiete a bit.

We won't really know until the things are actually released. I wouldn't entirely trust early pre-release reviews or leaks for judging overclocking performance, as those could be based on hand picked samples. Hopefully they'll come good though, as Intel could do with some real competition again.
I wouldn't, share price is going to drop with reviews whether they're good or not IMO.

in the long term. for me the CPUs look promising. if they can do the same on the GPU side stocks may evolve quite nice in the long run. i know i should have invested already 1 yr ago ...
