AMD ZEN Processors to Supposedly Carry SR3, SR5 and SR7 Branding

[Air]

Like how XFX has a RX 480 tier named XXX?

I did not know that. But i think that amount of Xs is already pushing into another economic activity territory....

I am hoping this is a Phenom II like situation, good clocks, no cold bug, acceptable performance and a good inexpensive platform.

Personally I think based on what they are saying and the past (is that better, @Ungari) AMD will price everything to high. At least to begin with. I just hope they make an equivalent to the AM1 platform, which they won't but they should at least have equivalent CPUs. Quad core, 2Ghz and a bit, low power consumption, socketed, preferebly overclockable..

Man the phenom II age was awesome. I'm dissapointed that I didnt have the money to build a PC before the ivy bridge era, when all AMD had was faildozer to offer. I would have loved a watercooled 1100t OCed with dual 6970s back in the day.

Some of you are acting like everyone buys a new cpu every year. Don't most consumers do like 5-7 years on average with a pc?

Hell my i7 4770K is from August 2013 and STILL going strong and no need to upgrade yet. But consumers who are using 5-7 year old cpu's WILL see a huge improvement when they buy a new pc with the latest intel cpu's.

You think car manufacturers think "oh last years model is still good, lets not improve on it"? No, they make a new model every year for consumers who are driving 10-15 year old cars and car enthousiasts or snobs who always want (not need) the latest and greatest.

People see a new product being released and they jump and bash on it for not being a lot faster than previous gen. Thats not how it works.

So when i'm finally done with my cpu in maybe 2018, i better see a 2018 intel cpu in the lineup and not having to buy 3 year old tech unlike some other company.

That's exactly what auto. manuf. do lol. A generation of car will last 4-7 yrs and usually receives nothing but a couple cosmetic touches or maybe a new option (engine upgrades are pretty rare and only used under stiff competition).

Man, if you're going to make an argument, you better try an analogy that works.

the simple fact is that for the vast majority of people a 5 yr old i5 ( or insert 4+core amd chip here ) is still more cpu horsepower than they need. a very small percentage of end users actually use the cpu at 100% for any length of time. also as tablets/phone/media devices take more an more of the cpu time that desktops do there has been very little need to make things faster. the market is saturated with machines that can do basic office/web browsing/streaming cat videos on youtube.. throw in a little more ram and an ssd and they'd think they had a brand new machine. heck, I game and it took me 8 years to feel the need to upgrade the i7-920 I was using.

server space has mostly grown horizontally with the ability to add more and more cores to a single cpu and very little need for single threaded performance.

you talkin about confusion?, just look at intel and their 1000s different sockets that basically does the same thing lol

hmm
AMD Zen SR9000 with RX 420 graphics anyone?

amd would be in the same boat if they hadn't stopped making new stuff several years ago.

I just hope there are itx mobo's for these, i was always quite tempted by fm2+ itx

If these chips are launching with half decent graphics i might run one in an itx board for a bit, adding a gpu later

I'd like to see them come up with something like that skull canyon nuc that was out a while back too

zen APUs are Q2 2017, so dont expect them anytime soon. I also agree though, cant wait to see what they do. Maybe AMD will finally pull their head out of the sand and commission someone like MSI to do a proper APU powered notebook line. A 13" with the equivelant of a mobile RX460 and a quad core zen chip wuold be an awesome laptop.

That's probably the plan for the apu (with hbm). They can stick a pretty big gpu on that sucker and get 100% performance out of it. Intel will just have to copy for 2018.

When was the 9590 ever touted as anything?

Yes, I smell an Intel fanboi.

MSI rebrands laptops made for them by other OEM manufacturers.

Unless my 3570K @4ghz won't be enough for next year, im considering this series, it may not give massive performance boost but should probably get the recent ports and tech i need (more usb 3.0+, m.2, pcie-3.0, ddr4 etc.)

People celebrate that only AMD also have an x86 license, so this Zen turd better be good, the hype is painful either way.

In auto sales it's about warranty periods, and leases. There isn't as much emphasis or consideration for long-term ownership beyond what is lawfully required when they plan things.

He's going to be sorely disappointed when 2018 doesn't bring anything new (won't even get 10nm as it won't be able to clock high, it's only for low power devices, so more like 2019) :|

2 (more) full years of nothing new from intel.
