hoping the hype train is real

better stick with intel. Amd got poor track record. processors are expensive, if buy wrong, really will regret big time

Agreed. But will have to look at the GPU instead of CPU. Cause their graphic card tends to be very competitive and fits as a good rival but the CPU part looks cheap as always but not as strong as i3/i5/i7 core series.

The hyped Intel Pentium G4560 might also proved to be a strong contender as the DDR4 + Kaby Lake chipset.

AFAIK AMD processors are always cheaper than their Intel counterparts

it's only the performance that's letting them down


I really hope AMD do well with Ryzen, Intel is slowly showing it's fangs trying to milk customers since competition is basically ZERO after the Bulldozer incident

Actually la, AMD processors has been good. The FX for example was nice, like FX-8320 and 8350.

They released the FX-8320E but it was a little late. And they've been stuck with old processor technology for years now.

Ryzen should be interesting.

With Ryzen, I believe AMD is able to make a come back, well don't have to take back a lot of share, a 10% market share is good enough for a restart.

And the customer now will have a easier understanding of Product line up, like how intel is doing, i7 high, i5 mid, i3 low. Unlike the current FX, only the enthusiast know how to really compare the product by doing full testing.

And seriously until now I still hear people telling me AMD heating issue, it's like 10 to 15 years ago wei lol. Either they messed up the installation or something wrong with the cooling method.

er, AMD heating issue is for real if you're using the FX-9370 and FX-9590.

AMD from Phenom to FX certainly still ran hotter than Intel. Whether or not it was an issue though is probably down to personal use.

Yes. But in the market. I don think it's easy to even find 9xxx series hahaha.

Intel good for CPU as general people would have said. But GPU/CPU wise can go either AMD / NVIDIA ways.

That Ryzen 8C/16T part will be really interesting if they really price it below $400 USD. That's half the price of Intel HEDT.

Maybe messed up installation. I have a friend who actually bought a portable aircond to cool his AMD pc when he's gaming to be stable. Turns out someone overvolt his PC during the set-up and the PC becomes stable again just by setting the voltage correctly.

GOOD NEWS!!!

looking forward for Ryzen. Here is to hoping we can get the best bang for buck CPU at around RM600 that OCs well on the B350 platform

Should be have la.

Pricing issue, AMD tend to compete with the pricing, but it's not that cheap. Rather spend a couple of hundreds MYR more to get maximum performance from Intel.

Ryzen? Risen ? Wow, a very good name...

Few leaked benchmark i found for sharing











Only usd320

AM3 user sini....cant wait for the long overdue upgrade

dear ketum bro

AMD is always about value for money and performance of coz is far cry if you compare it with intel.

no matter how AMD still have upper hand in pricing and performance is targeted at every segment of intel, in this ryzen

so...go topup yours

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

http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/...9/#466602404bb7

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.

This post has been edited by sniperz: Feb 13 2017, 04:12 PM

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.

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-3dmark-bench...ntels-i7-6950x/

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.

Yup and the AMD Vega GPU will be announced around 28th February.

From what I heard so far, Ryzen 7 is set to arrive first. Ryzen 5 and 3 later on.

any idea when reviewers will get their sample?
And is March 2 confirmed launch?

1. I have no details on when reviewers get their samples.
2. No details on launch date yet.

However, do leave all your questions here la. At least I know what to prepare for my Ryzen video.

*No, I don't have it yet but the products are bound to be released and I'll get a copy sooner or later.*

Reviews for AMD’s next generation Ryzen CPUs will go live on February 28th, currently in the process of seeding review samples to testers across the globe.

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-reviews-live...eiving-samples/

Well it's confirmed by AMD CEO that the launch date is early March, but she did not mention which day

Now, they should be busy with their launching la. since they have less than 2 weeks to prepare already, lets wait for the good news.

If I'm the type of user that dun like to OC, just wanted a good performance CPU out of the box, is Ryzen a good buy?

Best to wait for benchmarks now sir. And make sure you don't just follow one source of benchmark to make informed decision.

If you can't wait, the performance from Intel is still pretty good.

AMD is going to probably match the performance at a lower price.

from the leaks.....i guess i can only afford R3

Planning to get this to replace my aging AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, not sure if worth it or not haha

well, just hoping the R5 will have not much of differences in terms of performance to Intel, but sell at lower prices, haha

can't wait to see the Intel Core i7-7740K and Core i5-7640K (if it does exist)

Below RM699, I'll get any Ryzen 3 or 5 series.

I am really looking forward for the R7 1700x.. based on the recent price shown I guess should be around 1.2-1.5k RM... mahal jugak..

wondering which board to buy best... either the B350 or the X370.. cause according to articles that I read, both also can overclock just that the latter board has more ports and some additional ports support (m2. and etc).. or did I get this wrong? mind sharing your thoughts?

Initially wanting to change to intel i5 kabylake but seeing as ryzen launching soon, might as well wait for it. Was wondering, amd processor usually have higher tdp compared to intel? my phenom ii x6 produce so much heat. hopefully this ryzen will have the same or lower tdp then might seriously stick back to amd.

It shows that their TDP is now below 90W with the cheap one having around 65W, sir.

im sold, if tdp is lower / same as i5 kaby, and performance same.

Where you saw pricing RM1.2-1.5k ? , i search online saw ppl leak retail pricing USD399, with current usd rate 4.46, at least pun RM1800 n above.

for Mobo, i think still need to test out first, it might affect some performance, we don know right. I think many more review will pop up soon, let's see

should be 65w and 95w only for all Ryzen series, according to leaks la..

blame crappy MYR exchange

I think if dual graphics is not needed, B350 boards should be equally as great as long as quality components are used.

All Ryzen is unlock?

iirc all Ryzen multiplier unlock

All ryzen is overclockable...

http://wccftech.com/amd-confirms-ryzen-cpu...d-overclocking/

I do hope that Ryzen in MY are not getting jack up prices during launching periods.

Everytimes when there is a hyped product appeared, that product price is going to jack up... e.g PS4 pro, Nintendo Switch, newer Iphone (non MY official), & etc.

Despite the hype though... AMD Ryzen forgot to compete in the G series Pentium category. Probably might lose a lot of sales if I see it that way. Everyone who wants Ryzen would rather go G series Intel (4560 , 4600 , 4620) and that is why Intel wasn't so challenged by it or rather.

I think AMD might use its incoming Zen APU to tackle Intel G series of products.
Imagine polaris GPU embedded with Zen CPU... wishful thinking heheheeheh

I forgot that Ryzen will have 3 series of product. (3, 5, 7) just like the Intel Core I series.
Here is the leak:

Original source is from china... that thread is deleted.

I was hoping to go for Ryzen but if it's above the budget of mine, going for the Pentium G is actually in the mind (many might have forgotten, it was released this year!). Intel isn't going to lose this war actually like what they always say.

Maybe for the i5 to i7 parts, they shall lose for those wanting to spend RM5xxx to RM10xxx, feel free to vouch Ryzen then.

I dont think Intel will lose to AMD anytime soon. They're too embedded in the industry for now, and have been known to illegally force OEMs to use their processors instead of AMD. they have the cash to do it, too.

They won't lose la. All the while they are having majority share wad.

Now its good that AMD come out with something to compete them abit. End user will have benefits in term is more competitive pricing n better performance for both brands.

Ryzen dont hv integrated GPU.Ryzen is meant to be enthusiast platform. Majority of us has dicrete GPU. Low end should include iGPU, therefore its the job of the APU to compete with the pentium and celeron.

It depends on which segment. Enterprise market, no way amd can defeat intel at least 10 years. The Xeon server and workstation market is more than 90% dominated by intel. Most corporate sector only change server once every 7 years. Maybe longer but no less than tht.

Enthusiast market maybe amd can claw back some market share if performance is great and sell at an irresistable price. This group of ppl are not many though. No volume.

Corporate desktops make up for majority of the cpu sales. Sadly though, AMD Ryzen is out of place here. No integrated GPU no talk. This is Intel territory althogh OEM like Dell and HP do sell AMD desktops though no takers from the corporate world. Every industry player only buy Intel. AMD needs invest heavily on marketting here in order to gain market share

That's why I want to see how much Ryzen can compare with it's 3/5 series against the Pentium G series (Celeron is meh already).

They need something to compete with atoms too, IMO. There is quite a variety of form factors that use atoms. I would love to see a competitor for the intel compute stick from Amd. Also, Netbook may be dead, but it's successor lives on and people do buy them (though in less volume, admittedly). If AMD can get it to work on android, then alk the better, opportunity wise as it opens up a new market.

AMD is not yet competing in the Pentium/Celeron class probably because it's an entry level segment which is a small market and low profit. They better target enthusiasts who build their own systems, or performance PC system builders.

Nobody really buy ready made PC with low spec these days, which confirmed by huge decrease in PC shipment since the past year or so. Pre-built PC market is taken over by laptops as well as mobile devices.

Besides AMD still has old APUs and FX CPU in their inventory that still needs to move out first. Expect more price cuts when Ryzen starts shipping out.

I think Intel doesn't really care even if they end up losing the market in normal consumer like us, since they already move on to mainly focus on the cloud computing.

Intel can price that much cuz they just don't give a shit at all..

Anyhow, looking forward for upcoming Ryzen. Seems very promising.

On the other, Vega may still need some time to actually compete with Nvidia GTX1080 or Titan if it comes to high-end spec. As far as I heard, GTX1080 is too good to be handled by current high-end CPUs IMO though

More information for Ryzen.

Seems verrrrrrry promising

hopefully new ryzen performance similar performance to i7 counterparts, but sell at i3 price, this is a big win to consumers.

holy, that day draws near and im so excited! maybe its not time to switch to intel.

just wait for release and benchmarks, AMD has disappoint the hype several times in the past

that is 1 toasty processor you are having there

im holding my gun now....gonna pull the trigger on the 1400x

Same! 1400x, higher ghz with less core count. doesn't really need 6 core for gaming.

the 1400x has 4core 8 threads that is the sole reason im going for that

since u say less core count....might as well go for 1300?

1 thing shall take note is....model number with X on it has XFR, extended frequency range which can boost way higher than designed boost clock if temperature allow

It still matters unless you gonna ignore high end graphic cards.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/intel-amd-ryzen-competition

Intel is not going to lose the battle.

Here is another benchmark leak from ryzen :

https://videocardz.com/66182/amd-radeon-7-1...ured-and-tested

Hypetrain on the loose... XD

with lesser core, the 4-cores probably will clock higher than 6 or 8 cores
unless the silicone quality is different that is

Yes....for the base clock.

Higher core count n higher clock speed miggt increase tdp.

Wow ..

It is official guys! the top tier ryzen 7 is launched.
https://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2017/02/amd-ryzen-price/

AMD has ryzen!!!

amd is good choice for those do not have budget for dedicated gc, but desired to play game

Huh?

They got it to 5.1 GHz on all 8 cores of the 1800X at the demo with LN2.
Looks like it wont have much headroom on air or water cooling. I'm guessing should do 4.2 on air and maybe 4.5 on water..

https://www.goldfries.com/tech-news/amd-ryz...-srp-announced/

Waiting for Ryzen 5 price

If this pricing is true, then my googling skills tells me we would be gouged by the balls for the 1800X.

SAD! (someone all about GREAT AGAIN once said )
