I haven't been paying any attention to this at all, whats the general gist? Is it good?

I been watching like a hawk ... it really looks like AMD are back! ... their (AMD) pricing is going to cause Intel to think real hard. Not to mention Ryzen benchmarks.

I intend to build a new system sometime in April using Ryzen ... I also intend to live Twitch stream the build.




I just bought the: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 95 W 8/16 Core 3.8 GHz 4 MB CPU - Black
£389.99 (or less) (pre-order)

Sounds like it will be decent competition to Intel but at about half the price. Certainly should be interesting!

Interesting! Competition is good for us consumers.

Now if they could just try a little harder with their GPU's......

I am super excited about this being released . A little tempted to upgrade myself, but I suspect I'll hold off for another year or two.

When does your kit arrive @muckshifter? Can't wait to hear how it goes!

When does your kit arrive

... when it gets here. ;-)

not sure to be honest, it's a pre-order, and of Amazon, so I will get a note I'm sure when the 'order' has been dispatched ... I'm still getting the rest of the build together via my wish-list, so I can check i have everything I need.

I won't be using anything for this system, intend to keep this one intact as I did with my Intel PC.



I may just make a post on the "build" and what I've gone & why and update as needed.
