AMD Zen looks promising!

[tremor]

seems like AMD still has a lot of catching up to do.

When this happens, the next question you'll be asking in the future is "Why is Intel CPU so expensive... AMD should have focused on their CPU instead of only focusing on their GPU..."

well they just bunch of stupid people at AMD.. nothing much to said...

Eventually, the final question asked will be "Why cant AMD just split back up to form AMD and ATI to focus on CPU and GPU technologies respectively"...

No matter how good, ppl will only ask more why de la

Humans is a never satisfying creature

Well we can only hope for another competitor to come out from the unknown to anyone to fight with Intel on price per performance wars.

Very easy... Intel is their own enemy.

Just like with Apple and Microsoft, if they don't release new stuff, people won't buy.

And of course people can always go and support Linux and Android and their vast library of mobile games. We all have seen how this competition has produced lots of good products in the mobile scene.

Yea, I just threw up a little speaking that last sentence.

 

[poring24]

competition is always healthy

now on whether they can deliver on the price front

Highlight: Early 2017 meant H1 2017.

The the journalist went on the offense with the IPC gain claim when she mentioned lol. Satki starting to become kelian man with the way the the conversation went.

But there's actually a point.

I rather they be honest and compare their "on par" with a i7-4790k, rather than the i7-6900K. Coz if they are literally on par with i7-4790k in terms of performance, than it would do the company's reputation some good compared to competing against the i7-6900K, which to the buyer may seem pretty impressive at first.

It's like saying an Nvidia GT610M is "on par" with Nvidia GTX 1080. But the disclaimer reads: both cards are downclocked to 1MHz.

Your statement is off. Because AMD didn't down clock the btoadwell-e to 1MHz for IPC comparison.

3GHz vs 3GHz is fair comparison IMO. If AMD shows something that's 3.2GHz vs engineering sample 3.0GHz then people will also try to calculate the IPC with the information in hand.

To some people it's fair cos same speed and AMD won.

to some people it's not fair cos if AND never down-clock 6900K, they would have lose.
