It would appear as if AMD has seemingly (and not purposely) given us some lights as to when their hotly anticipated Ryzen chips will hit the wild - and some of our wallets. While they haven't specifically given an exact date, the talk to be given by AMD at the annual Game Developer Conference (GDC) reads: "Join AMD Game Engineering team members for an introduction to the recently-launched AMD Ryzen CPU followed by advanced optimization topics". The "recently-launched tidbit is the most important, since it places Ryzen's launch necessarily before the end of GDC - which will happen between February 27th and March 3rd. AMD has, in the meantime, altered the original headline by cutting the "recently launched" tidbit altogether.





It would seem that GDC wouldn't be the best stage from where to announce AMD's upcoming star - they surely would want it to be a star of its own show, instead of competing for attention with all the news, events and announcements that are bound to come out during both GDC and the Mobile World Congress, which happens at the same week. As such, I believe we should take March 3rd as the end-date at which Ryzen has already been effectively launched, though I would expect AMD to host its own event even before February 27th. And with AMD's own Jim Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Computing and Graphics business, saying that AMD is done with paper launches, that would mean retail availability for AMD's Ryzen processors before that February 27th date.

Feb 8th on my birthday works well for me.

Yeah Feb 8th is perfect i got mine 17th so i get all the specs and maybe some benchmarks before purchasing :D
 
The best part about RYZEN's launch is that we won't have more "soon".
We got teased with this thing for years now... i kinda had enough of this

Well I still want more and waiting very much with a lot of enthusiasm for the ZEN release. :D

Yep it's been soon for what a year now? March is still a late release and this is getting old now.

This year's April fools joke will be amds release of ryzen.

Aye, but the teasing was necessary.

It wasnt until recently we got an Official name Ryzen "Risen"
 
Member back when Zen was supposed to launch in Q1 2016? I member.
Yeah I'd like to see that too. 2016? did you get hit in the head or something?
 
Both post literally started with the word "rumors". Just because some people took a guess at when it was going to be released, doesn't mean they were right or had a real source. Unless AMD said it was to come out then, don't believe it.

Yeah but every tech site was echoing them, with supposed quotes from Lisa Su herself, if you actually bothered to read them.
 
Thus rumors. No substance, no proof.
 
AMD must do good with the Ryzen so I can buy Intel cheaper.
 
If we believe all the rumors what would world be though? It wasn't called a fact but author of the article stated that it's just a rumor. Somebody saw a product that is being prepared and everybody speculate about the time of release so it's not a fact. Besides AMD didn't say 2016 release ZEN and AM4 boards so how can you quote anything and take it as a fact when somebody speculate about this stuff when they have nothing to do with the production whatsoever?
Hint: "Rumor says that there will be an IPhone8" would you say it's release would be 2018 or this year? how anybody except apple know that?
 
And what if Ryzen turns out to be better than Intel'a offering?
I don't even look at Intel now when I saw what AMD's ZEN can do and what it offers :)
 
I can only save money and hope for the best... but this:
Thus rumors. No substance, no proof.
I think we've seen the hype train before. If it's good, it's good. If it's not, it's not but, the hype train tells us practically nothing substantial.

I only know what my rig is capable of at this point even in Ryzen Blender.
Debunking Firedrops too.
