AMD's Internal ZEN SR7, SR5, SR3 Priced Above A12-9800
AMD's first desktop processors based on the "ZEN" micro-architecture will be priced above the fastest socket AM4 part currently in production, the A12-9800 APU. While AMD hasn't started selling the A-series socket AM4 APUs in the retail channel, the top-end A12-9800, which is faster than the A10-7870K from its previous-generation, is expected to be priced at least the same ($160) or higher. This would mean that even the cheapest ZEN part, under the ZEN SR3 series, likely quad-core; could be priced above $160.
Two key slides from a presentation AMD intended for Chinese distribution channels, was leaked to the web by ChipHell tech forum members, revealing that ZEN parts will be priced in a segment "above" RMB ¥1,500 (USD $218), assuming that that's a price inclusive of all taxes. The company also put out some performance numbers for the A8-9600 "Bristol Ridge" socket AM4 APU, keeping the "Godavari" A8-7650K as baseline, compared to the Intel Core i3-6100 "Skylake" processor. The A8-9600 was shown to be faster in most tests.

Can't bring myself to care, never used an i3 in my life, or an i5 for that matter.
That said, a 4C 8T AMD part priced right could replace i3 6100 as a good choice for cheap gaming machines.

and what part you didnt understand?? its apu from AMD and not even the high end!!
their top notch cpu will be on par with intel extreme..so read before coment!!
The "Godavari" is AMD's old last-gen CPU and will be AMD's baseline, just like the 6100 is Intel's baseline.
Every single new processor mentioned, the SR3, SR5, SR7 is above the 6100 and not the baseline.
If you need help reading in the future just send me a PM and I'll help you sound out the words.
(that was sarcasm too)
It's like getting super excited about having a V8 or an I6 in your car or truck but, then forgetting that it's only a 2.0 liter engine. :laugh:
