They used to but not for the past 2 - 3 years though.

Looking forward for them making a come back.

yes....Phenom 2 was the last hurah that doesn't really make any impact.

it just playing around with more core,higher clockspeed and cheaper pricing

despite that they still lose battle and APU shit stuff appear

FX-8320 / FX-8350 were good, FX-8320E was awesome but came late.

FX-9590 / FX-9370 sucks so bad I hentam them kau kau.

APU - mixed feelings, overall good stuff packed with technology but raw processing power not as good as the Intel Core i3, very hard to recommend in the end.

First Ryzen R7 1700X benchmark: https://videocardz.com/65825/first-amd-ryze...hmarks-are-here

Brief info on test setup
CPU: R7 1700X 3.4GHZ (no turbo enabled or detected), 8c/16t
Mobo: MSI A320-based
RAM: DDR4-2400 @ 17-17-17-39


I assume the budget A320 will somehow disable turbo function or does not support XFR mode

Interesting fact is that it cost around USD$400 meanwhile Intel costed USD$1000 more for their best i7 core chipset. Am I right with the latest news?

How do you compare RM900 retail price for FX9000 Bulldozer to RM1000 6600k Skylake Ivy Bridge?

http://www.techspot.com/review/1180-overwa...arks/page5.html

Intel's performance per core is way better. You can also check other CPU benchmark in gaming. AMD is still inferior to Intel for these past years. Of course they have the cheaper price, but not worth it. I used to have both systems, ended up selling away my AMD platform for Intel upgrade.

So IF Ryzen has a good price point, then AMD can compete. IF. Then again, from the leaked benchmark, Ryzen is still behind

So get your ketum's fact right first.

ching ah chong

everysingle year intel introduce new architecture

and u take that new architecture compare it to such a old amd architecture



also read carefully..... on my follow up post

Wow, I want to believe.

Zen has smaller floating point module than Intel. So inferior FP heavy computations is expected. But perfectly fine for most home users, gamers, even data centers. HPC market maybe in next Zen iteration.

ANy proc to replace my A8 FM2?

Since we're talking about AM4 here, and looks like you're looking for APU replacement you might want to wait for Bristol Ridge.
I assume that the retail version will come out once official AM4 boards are released.
The APU itself already released last year but through OEM channels only (PC manufacturers).

Damn thats a very sexy stock cooler


And seems to be RGB ready as well


Meanwhile in Intel.....

intel stock cooler sctually do the job well

Rumored Chinese MSRP for Ryzen
Source: https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainbo..._ryzen_lineup/1



but from this list it looks like the cheapest Ryzen cost around the same as the highest i3 SKU
really hope that at least there will be a sub-MYR500 cpu when it reaches our shore that is.
damn it weak ringgit!

whats with bold lines? is it AMD contender vs Intel? or same price range? or ...
I dont speak Chinese

I hope the 8 cores and 6 cores parts can OC well...

Some of the prices weren't actualized yet but I believed that the Ryzen 3 / 5 will sell like hotcakes provided the price and value it will bring to Malaysia.

They need a lower price point 4c/4t to counter the lower i3s and Pentiums
unless they're reserving that segment for the AM4 APU, but Raven Ridge is not going to arrive until the 2nd half of 2017.

I believed the recent AMD Ryzen 5 is enough to convince me to resell my Intel i5 CPU altogether to rebuild a new one. Let's see how long it takes to arrive to Malaysia.

It's just amazing. Considering AMD Ryzen 5 1400X for the least.

Seems promising looking at the above links. But still, gotta wait till the actual products and reviews are out.

Intel needs a competition, way long overdue.
