Overclocker Alva "Lucky_N00b", who has a Ryzen sample clarified his image where they looked 'shocked' by a Ryzen benchmark.

AMD Ryzen CPUs will launch by March 3

Well, he may be board committed and we know how much a good Intel board costs. For a new build it would be a no brainer (if the benches prove real). The competition this provides is the highlight of it all. Now I hope Vega does the same in the gpu segment.

It's Intel, he will need a new board anyway.

I think his point was that if Ryzen provides decent competition from AMD again, we'll all have nice things.

If ryzen doesnt sell, because people buy intel anyways, we will have tge same problem again in a few years.
This.
The price for the Intel processors is way higher and there is no point to spend more for have the same performance (If Ryzen is competitive enough of course).

I don't think that's likely. There are enough consumers in this market that like to read reviews and buy whatever provides the best cost/performance ratio, rather than sticking with brand loyalty regardless, that a well reviewed CPU range (and hopefully GPU range too) from AMD will impact on Intel's sales. It won't be huge, but it should be enough to make them take notice. At the very least you're going to see prices benefiting consumers as a result.

lol!
Seriously though, maybe Ryzen will make intel get us mere peasants some 6 and 8 core chips on the mainstream line sooner than later - this is theur biggest sandbagging moment.

This is my hope. I mean I don't need 6 or more cores, but I fucking want 6 cores.

Even if AMD gets some sales. The question would be if it really worth for Intel to price and design their higher end CPUs more aggressively. We are still talking about a godamn big profit here.

It would be easy if their mainstream socket is technically ready for this. But I think that this is mostly hard because of them positioning all 115x CPUs as CPUs with iGPUs in them and they certainly want to keep it that way as I expect that even a 6 core CFL will still have iGPU on it. For them to truly fill that hole they need to accept that iGPU is not free and provide CPUs without it which would cost less. This is a rather big paradigm shift for them so I don't expect it to happen soon - or even at all.
Like what happened when AMD was last performance leader?
Well, yes, in the time of Athlon XP/64/X2 and Pentium 4 AMD gained significant CPU market share. In fact, they even overtook Intel for a bit.
2005 said:
For a bit. In the US retail market. Meanwhile Intel continued to make big profit in the high margin markets and AMD lacked the profit to continue building on their success.

That was largely a result of Intel paying companies like Dell to not use AMD CPUs. They were found guilty and fined for it years later, but by then the damage was already done.
I know. I was responding to Darkstorne writing that's unlikely the current issues of lack of competition would come back as people know what "provides the best cost/performance ratio, rather than sticking with brand loyalty". But the latter is exactly what happened in the high margin markets, and I don't think Intel's market corruption was the sole reason for it.

More hype I guess. Alleged 1600X Cinebench results:
For some perspective, that's almost exactly in between a 6800K and 6850K. Additionally, AMD's current top CPU, the FX-9590 (a 4.7 GHz, 220W part), scores ~730 in this test.
Reminder that the 1600X has a rumored price tag of $259.

Hype RYZEN!
I'm still debating on which Ryzen to get, but assuming I got this one... the chip I have now (PhenonII X6 1090t) at 6ghz only hit 75% of the score in your pic. http://hwbot.org/submission/3190228_lio40_cinebench___r15_phenom_ii_x6_1090t_be_862_cb
So excited!

Can't wait, I'm going 1800X straight away....I just need to wait for Vega for a complete build....
This is really good, then. When I go to have a new PC built later this year, it'll be a tougher choice between AMD and Intel for CPU.
Yeah I had a 3960x and 4960x and then went back to 6700k and 7700k, but dam I miss seeing all those threads in task manager

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
This is crazy. For over 10 years, I haven't even blinked whenever AMD has released a new CPU and here I am now just excited beyond belief.
The 6-core Ryzen 1600X for $259 could be the CPU to own for hardcore gamers.
If that's too expensive, the 1400X at could be just as good deal and could blow the 7700K away in terms of value.
There is no way to say it:
If Ryzen doesn't end up living up to the hype then it will be the biggest PC gaming downer for me in god knows how long.

This seems more like you trying to convince yourself that the 6 core is the way to go. If you are hardcore, you would go for the best you can afford.

Dude I'm 100% on this AMD hype train and even I can't believe that to be real
That can't be right..... surely........
Time for a new PC build.
We need to calm ourselves a bit. We need to wait for full picture, official pricing, gaming benchmarks, etc.
Don't build a new PC based on a synthetic benchmark of a very specific workload.

Reposting from the other thread:
If this is legit... I don't even have to upgrade my CPU but dayum I might as well if this kind of performance is to be had in the sub $400 segment lol.
I would probably just sit on it for 5+ years or something.
I do want to see how Intel will respond to this though, as well as AMD's own response when they do. So I might just wait it out and see what takes place in the CPU market, these are very exciting times!

It was 2005 and they went dual core while Intel was still on the GHZ race mindset with pentium 4.
They forced Intel to go back to the drawing board and we got the Core architecture.
What is that thing even?

Yet again, better than Broadwell-E IPC in the single thread test:
Once you add boost clocks and XFR with a nice AIO to this thing it's going to fly.

I'm in the same boat, and I recently paired my E3-1270 with a sibling for distributed computing. Little did I know.
I think the 1700 is going to be the sweet spot. It's the cheapest 8c/16t SKU and there's no need to pay the small premium for XFR if you're just going to overclocking it manually.

Damn, Joffrey's death was so brutal.....
Only a couple of days away, it will be interesting to see some Crysis 3, Ashes OTS and some CPU heavy games under Ryzen..Even games that scale well with multiple cores like Farcry 4, Primal, GTA5 etc...

It seems like 1700 is the way to go. For 4K video editing, gaming and livestreaming, this seems to be a perfect choice. I was going to nab the 1800X, but I really don't need all of that power.
If anyone's opinion, with what we know of the 1700 and up lineup, would livestreaming while gaming seem possible like it is on the 1800X? With 8 cores, it should work out pretty well I would think?
