I had no rush with zen. Zen is great, but zen 2 is the real thing I'm interested in. That's amds chance to actually overtake Intel. Given how well zen did, if amd can just improve zen 2 in a couple of significant ways, it will completely change the cpu landscapeI wouldn't hold my breath for significant frequency increases before Zen 2.

I had no idea of an hedt platform before zen came out either, so Threadripper 2 is my main look. I only need so much IPC before I'd rather have more cores for more virtual machines.
AMD is back, but I don't think it was expected that they'd be this competitive. Threadripper was huge. Now with zen 2 you have the potential for Threadripper to be the huge hedt product for enthusiasts if they can increase IPC enough. Cheap strong cores? The best part too for amd is this is a market they can have a best in class processor and still meet demand unlike other larger segments, while having an extremely strong product here has a large trickle down effect too.Well. real thing is that AMD is back. Intel is scared ... already rushing third line of CPUs in a SINGLE year (if we count mobile its fourth).
Coffee lake ... amm shouldn't they do better?
Intel is making all motherboard vendors very busy..
You mean how everyone wants to frame it, AMD targeted something & overachieved. I remember virtually everyone here saying how AMD could never reach Broadwell level of performance & here we are, seems like those people aren't happy either!AMD is back, but I don't think it was expected that they'd be this competitive.

The r5 1600 sits in an amazing spot right now. I dub it the best price to performance chip out currently. Too bad Intel was too silly to drop the 4/8 chip to mainstream to compete. I don't think 6 cores competes with 12 threads.
Either way, r5 zen 2?
Thats a beast to contend with for Intel.
Zen was above expectations no matter how amd wants to frame it. If zen 2 can just be a strong iteration... 2018 will be super exciting.
I'm also curious to see what happens now that multi core will be more and more mainstream.

I agree! And not just with words. I actually went out and bought several of them. Which is slightly out of character for me, I generally stick to under-$100 CPUs, but the value proposition was so strong, I couldn't resist.The r5 1600 sits in an amazing spot right now.

Only, I don't think that he actually was "Chief architect" on the project. Sure, he gets top billing, but let's keep things in perspective.Short and clear, Jim Keller at AMD was not hired to pick strawberries in the AMD garden.When you have Jim Keller as chief CPU arhitech, well it is very logical to expect exactly the opposite of Bulldozer CPU fiasco
Not really, exactly the opposite a lot of people(including me) did expect that level of Zen/Ryzen CPU performanse.

Mike Clarke and Suzanne Plummer were the cheif architects. (Along with a few hundred other engineers). Jim Keller did early work with them, mainly on tools and fabric. Good stuff, but not all the heavy lifting.Not really, exactly the opposite a lot of people(including me) did expect that level of Zen/Ryzen CPU performanse.

I think it was more of a hope, even as far as I'm concerned. However Jim did some of his stuff & the rest of the AMD team did all the dirty laborious work, in short it was the perfect storm for AMD & they've been riding on the Zen wave for half a year now.Not really, exactly the opposite a lot of people(including me) did expect that level of Zen/Ryzen CPU performanse.

From a greek forum user.
R7 1700 @ 4.1GHz with 3466MHz memory + GTX 1080Ti @ 2GHz
http://www.ashesofthesingularity.com/metaverse#/ladders/benchmark/overall/Medium_1080p
Clukos runs really tight 3466 memory.
Ryzen loves fast, tight memory.
I can't wait to see Zen easily scale over 4GHz with future iterations plus some IPC boosts on top, should be a beast.
Yeap, even with 3200MHz with tight memory Ryzen is very fast.
If they can manage a 5-10% IPC increase + ~10% clock speed for RYZEN+ , then it will be a beast.
It's printed above the graphs on the second chart.So hard to read... So what is the total % AMD and Intel by month ?
It's printed above the graphs on the second chart.
For Sep., 57% AMD, 43% Intel.
Thanks. It was just so busy, I could not make that out.It's printed above the graphs on the second chart.

This updated RAID capability should work with any X399/Threadripper motherboard and any NVMe SSDs, enabling RAID modes 0, 1 and 10 for up to 10 NVMe SSD connected to the CPU's PCIe lanes, but a motherboard firmware update may be required first.
NVMe RAID support on the AMD Ryzen Threadripper platform does not require specific NVMe disks or hardware activation keys.
