AMD Zen FX - information, benchmarks, experience of users

[drmrlordx]

AMD marketing seems to have abandoned DIY sales of Bristol Ridge.

[tbone8ty]

rumors are as fallows:

March 2017
Haswell-E performance for <$399
BIOS on chip
overclocking only using AMD overdrive.

[FlanK3r]

Will see, but Im sure, at CES we could know hot looks X370 boards . February or March could be launch. If not CES because Intel KL, Im thinking, they wayting for another big gaming/IT event in USA after CES?
Do you know dates of these events in February or March?

[tbone8ty]

im concerned these rumors are projecting $300 price point....doesnt look good for Zen.

[drmrlordx]

If it's 5960x territory for $300 then it's a winner. Seriously, look at what they're selling now . . . that would be a huge improvement.

[tbone8ty]

i agree. but i have doubts it will if its priced at $300. i think there is a reason why its priced at $300

[drmrlordx]

Well, if all the rumours reported together are as true as all the other rumours reported together, it's not gonna be that price without bringing Haswell IPC to the table. Clocks might be kinda low, but then again they might be 3.6 GHz base or higher depending on whom you believe at this point.

[FlanK3r]

I trhink the CPUs coudl sometimes fighting with 8c/16t Intels CPUs, but ussually are against 6c/12t Inte CPUs or 4C/8T (but with lower clocks of course, in single thread will 4C/8T Intels shining)

Watch live streaming for Zen product showcase?

[FlanK3r]

yes, looking forward, but I will see in later (this day Im out of home and out of good internet conection)

[tbone8ty]

Zen has RYzen!

watching now... makes me want to just go stfu to the comments.

STOP CALLING ME OUT!

Guys with 8 core FX, set your cpus at 3,4ghz FLAT http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/new-horizon download blender and test file and do the test, we can see the IPC gain , ryzen does it in 35 sec

[robbicfc]

Looking impressive. Wonder what it will do with some liquid cooling. I hope there is a pukka Sabertooth AM4 on the way Know what I'm getting for my post Christmas present :p

No one here runs an FX at 3.4 flat

Of course not, but if you want apples to apples comparison of IPC between RYZEN and FX you have to downclock it for a test ...
Anyhow, something doesnt add up. im not sure AMD uploaded the right blender file, i have set mine 5820K to 4,53ghz which gives me same amount of aggregate ghz as RYZEN =27,2 and it does the test in 51.8s.
RYZEN and Broadwell-E does it in 35s. Yes BDE is a bit faster than the H-E , but not by THAT much.And even im running it faster than the BD which sits at 8x3.2ghz=25,6 .It would only make sense if BDE would TURBO ALOT , but it shouldnt have when running blender.

[drmrlordx]

AMD is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

In for one.

[charged3800z24]

My stock AMD A10-7850 Pro APU took 5 minutes, lol.

[PatRaceTin]

Very interesting.

Sad thing is this blender test amd shared is not the one they used in the show.6900K gets like 45-50secs .

I've been waiting for years to build a new rig, still running my 1090...
Don't let us down again AMD!

[StAndrew]

Anyone else worried AMD is still revising the silicon this late? I fear Ryzen will not clock that well initially. I think the first revision release will see a big improvement in the silicon refinement and huge improvement in overclocking headroom compared to initial release. If you're waiting, I would prepare myself mentally to wait just a bit longer for the improved silicon release, probably late 2017 - Early 2018.

if we base that theory on the leak we got a few weeks back then yes. initial ryzen silicone has an errata that is limiting it.

also i fear this internal BIOS will set the flameboys a fire.

I just wanna bench again, we used to have so much fun on here competing with different boards..I didn't see the point anymore, so I stopped. I remember barrels of fresh snow coming in the house with my 2600/Epox 8rda...hahaha
