AMD Zen – A First Look
I got a chance to check out Bristol Ridge, AMD’s new 8-core 16-thread Zen-based CPU, at a briefing in San Francisco.

Zen is a year later to be relevant….. such a shame.
AMD might as well bake cakes.
ideal data location
if i want the zen it would mean that i would need a new mother board and new ram sticks, i hope it is worth because it would mean id be spending 780 U$S
If it performs better, more energy efficient at a lower cost than intel 6700k im into it!
The only problem I see is dose one new cpu offer make a difference? I hope AMD dose well but looking at only one offering against Intel, how many cpu’s do Intel offer, more then I can count on my hands and they offer updates almost every year. I do really hope AMD dose well with Zen, but for a lot of us they need new 4 core and 6 core cpu’s also. Just my thoughts. (John)
That text that flashed up said ideal sata location if anyone couldn’t catch it X’D
Mac is only expensive for its engineering and aesthetic. It’s performance is shit
Intel is the same.
4:10 is that linus?
will be playing second fiddle to Intel
calling it now
At 4:19 that red LED is it indicating a problem or that`s how it`s supposed to do ?
Hopefully its good, AMD deserves to be equal to intel, I just hope they make a decent budget friendly 6 core 12 threads, or maybe even a 4 core 8 thread. That’s where I want to go.
They used Titan X on bf1 test 😀
03:11 do you even cablemanagement?
is it out in market??? to buy??? for building a Gaming PC???
i’ve been burned by AMD too many times now. I switched to intel a few months ago and dear god is it a relief to have some non-trash running in my computer. I’ll remain very skeptical of this cpu, because AMD has promised unicorns and rainbows MANY times in the past and everyone gets all hyped and excited for their “new revolutionary architectures” and it ends up being a piece of steaming garbage. I’m not buying it until I see mass results in performance from various sources, and even then my i7 is working wonders so, it’ll have to blow i7 out of the water for me to dish out money and switch mobo’s… again. So far, leaked benchmarks are showing a 4790 outperforming this pretty drastically, with the current ‘leaked’ results it’s looking pretty shabby im afraid. not buying, DON’T fall for it, wait for actual tangible results AFTER release before giving them your money.
AMD’s in a tricky spot.
Smaller company that has to come through with either a comparable but much cheaper CPU or competitively priced better CPU.
Hope they pull it off.
Im gonna do an amd themed build. Hopefully a zen and 2 rx 480’s in crossfire.
come on AMD all eyes are on you don’t mess this one up
take a look at this, if zen with let say $800 price and it did beat 7700k with price of let say $1k, then R.I.P Intel
never again amd ….
Q1 of 2017. AMD >-> better be feb/march and not like may/june like the 490.
4:33 Women shoes ??
Mrs praise nuclear check handful brand teenager.
u naive fucks if amd catches up with nvdia they will just have same prices, they will manage that, olligopoly bitch you do not know where you are living.
if AMD chips going to to be on par(+-) with Intel, then all I’m waiting is – PRICE WAR!
Ryzen, just out benched i7 6900K, while its under clocked!! Its sad for a thousandth dollar cpu, Zen all the way!!
If this is as good as they are saying then they are finally back…
I’d get the 6 core 12 threaded Zen probably.
5 months and we’re still waiting 🙁
if it beats Intel by a hair….
didn’t you just convinced me to go with Intel?
unless you are saying there is ample price difference.
it will be around 300 bucks because you’re going to need new motherboards and stuff and they want to take the market over
And they gived name of the intel when they comparing it
Hope it isnt same kind of oven as fx-serie prosessors
i am actually curious if Intel will either drop prices on high end CPUs to compete or combine the concept of 4 threads per core on their Intel Phi card’s cores with their desktop market socket making it so they can draw a little more for a 8 theard chip with 2 physical cores and a 16 thread chip with 4 physical cores OR will Intel do a price decrease I am hoping for both
as using 2 physical cores to get a 8 threaded CPU might increase single threaded performance for the same reason why i3s were better at it at the same speed as i5s were for a few years when comparing CPUs of the same speed and generation so if Intel can do something like that while keeping the low TDP and heat waste of the chip
in short i am hoping Zen will give Intel a swift kick in the rear end to give more for less as they are overcharging at this time in my mind
Im very pissed off about stagnation of CPU prices… about lack of real improvement. I think time of sh1t silicon is long passed but the big companies ignore this and take our money in broad daylight sort to say.
AMD finally caught up to Intel Sandy bridge!
Regardless I’m getting this. I like amd.
SMT/HT is lame
Ideal SATA location.
The first computer I built was with an Athlon XP 2800+. I’ve been AMD ever since then, however with my latest build, I jumped onto the Intel train with an i7 6700k. Zen sounds awesome but I got tired of waiting. AMD’s latest CPU’s leave a lot to be desired. The FX-9590 is a fuggin’ flame thrower!
Here’s why the corporate (workstation and server) market is going to be hard to break into for AMD:
Boss: Why is our website down?! Is it because of those stupid AMD computers you bought us?!
IT: What? It’s not even hosted here-
Boss: Why did you make us buy those stupid AMD computers?!
Not saying it’s right, but that’s what will happen.
Do you think there will be a price drop on the FX series of CPUs when zen releases to the public?
SMT is not basically Intels HT, it is other way around, SMT is older term and it was used before Intel basically re-branded term for their own CPU’s.
