IPC is indeed pretty good, a whole wonderful whoopass kind of leap for AMD.
LN2 clocks will make you cringe.
Hopefully the next revisions of Ryzen ( not retail batches, I mean a "tock", a re-spin ) will clock better.

Thats my line of thinking. Meanwhile i can do some homework to see what xxx speed is required for xxx benchmark :)
Thats pretty much what i expected after all this info , I hope F4 will clock to 4.2 on air and i will be happy.
However i dont expect a BIG change even after a new revision.Thats GF in recent years, i dont get why AMD sticks with them.They always underperform clockwise.
BUT a 4.2 zen with 8 cores for 300-400 (the cheapest 8c) and i will be happy.
And thats seems realistic (depends also at board ,-) )
Mr *Chew is today :party3::bday::party2: :)
Yah for my birthday i decided to break my perfectly working gaming pc...added a second aquacomputer block to my 2nd r290x....of course i knew the swiftech 3x120 would be overpowered....but its quiet now. A bit warm. Grabbed a monitor to. 1080p 1ms response 144hz displayport with amd free sync.
Tired of little kiddies owning me in first person shooters :rofl:
I chose the AMD cards over AMD cpu during AMDs stumble. Seemed like the lesser of two evils.
Holy hell look what the cat drug in it has been a while since I have seen you on these pages chew happy birthday.
First thing to test. 4core 8 thread vs 8 core no threading.
I have a funny feeling it will be best to buy the top chip and tailor it to your needs for the best effeciency.
I believe for Phenoms II alias Ryzen era again.

so, cheapest 8 core ~350$/350E , exactly as i was thinking it would be.
AMD does 4850 again.All looks well.
I felt genuinely excited as i saw this.Just like in the old days, decrypting the codes on the lid :)
Oh, and it means it has 3,6base and 4.0Ghz boost.Thats nice to see, that they got something more of them, 4.2 on air should be possible even if they are really bad clockers.
not 3.4 GHz?, rev F4??
3.4 GHz on photo, extended code is in CPUID string
Yes
New info:
R7 1700: 8 core 3.7 GHz boost, PIB (Wraith?) ~$320 USD, 65w TDP
R7 1700X: 8 core 3.8 GHz boost, w/o fan ~ $370-400 USD, 95w TDP
R7 1800X: 8 core 4.0 GHz boost, w/o fan ~ $480-500 USD, 95w TDP
amazing TDP of 65w if true!
leaks should start rolling in soon.
finally the wait will be soon over.
I thought the 8c/8t rumours were all dead? I guess we'll find out on the 28th!
Nothing realistic, hard to know from this benchmrk reality status.
I think for many who are on intels current platform AMD might have a tough sell. To the many out there still using sandy bridge ( you rarely see them for sale most likely due to still in use ) this gives them a choice. Either way an upgrade will require board, cpu, ddr4. If the performance is a significant leap over sandy for less than the cost of a comparable intel setup at close to intels current performance it could be enticing. I am one of those people and have been milking the platform for quite some time now. I saw no reason to upgrade for minimal realworld gains in gaming.
Sat here on SB too and I'm waiting for this one. Unless it's a complete failure I am definitely getting it.
I'm looking very closely as to in which areas Zen will come close or beat Haswell per core. If it's close enough then I'm early adopter as I do a lot of stuff on my PC which can use 8c+, but gaming is also important as it's my way of relaxing.
So far things are looking good to me and even though in games I probably will not see any difference, I'm willing to spend money on Ryzen to have some fun playing with new toy like in the old days.
One more important aspect to me is power consumption and that was the reason I never bought Bulldozer. With new AMD 8 cores it looks like it will have all the bells and whistles to save power when performance is not needed ;)
Personally, I run only AMD in my house. I have 6 systems running APU's, either laptop or PC, an FX 9370 ion Main Rig and Phenom 1090t in Home Server. My main Media Center is an AMD A10-9700e AM4 setup. Never have I had any issues with any of my systems nor gaming. I have 3 kids now and all of them game on PC. So, of course I will Have a Ryzen CPU in my main rig. Call me a fan boy, I don't care, lol. I cannot get onboard with Intel, period. Though I do like some of their NICs.
*Chew: But ou have AMD blood, so its time to upgrade :D
Realistic, I agree with you. In last few years were CPUs very solid, example clock to clock from 2012 to 2017 (but GTAV is improvement):
