Not much new other than a updated photo, but I enjoyed the read.

Well I signed up for their live stream. Let's hope there's some substance to it and not all PR marketing bs.
Quite odd that you would have to sign up for their stream , does AMD not want to reach as many people as possible ?
There 2 things that would be nice to know clock speeds and somewhat more about AM4 X370 .
If those architecture changes are real and actually work I think Intel might be in a real bad spot considering their chips all look to be the same for the next few years.So based on what I just read, the official chips will be called Ryzen ( pronounced risen, cute AMD), and we'll have clocks comprable to Intel. Also, they have a feature that allows them to Auto overclock out of the box without any user intervention whatsoever.
The more I am reading up on the lights, the more bananas this sounds but it also correlates with previous leaks and rumors I've heard from other sources which gives it credibility to me.
As always, I think we will have to wait until it's actually been too, however, given Kyle's plea to AMD in his Intel preview, I think he knows exactly that AMD is going to be looking really good after release and positioned himself quite well in that article to come out looking like a genius with that play.
I don't think Kyle makes that comment if he didn't know Ryzen was going to deliver.
I think 2017 may finally be the year where enthusiast technology finally gets pushed forward.

In other Turbo boost on steroids and much more useful if it is smart.That auto overclock might be not as flexible , AMD explained on several of their products before (gfx and cpu) if the cpu stays cool it will ramp up until thermal limits are reached it will do this based on current workload and cpu cores used.
Single core usage will be able to "burst" much more and often as the thermal limits would not be reached as fast as you would do with multiple cores. That is why they involve the cooling method used in the story.
Guys, I'm losing my shit right now waiting for AMD zen. Should I grab the Skylake 6700k and enjoy the next month and a half playing buttery smooth overwatch and BF1? Or should I suck up my pride and wait it out for the AMD offering?
Also, I'd like to spend $500-$600 tops on this bad boy.. I think that the AMD zen puts me out of that budget when compared against a microcenter $270 skylake, then a $70 mobo (after $30 discount), and then plugging in some $80 worth of ram.
What say the hive here folks? Am I going to miss out of the lightning greatness or whatever man just build your skylake and have fun.
Currently sitting on 2011's Intel Core I5 and it's finally dying in games.

Right now is a bad time to pick up a 6700k; for one with the 7700k coming out it will probably drop in price, secondly Zen might be worth waiting for.Guys, I'm losing my shit right now waiting for AMD zen.

3.2Ghz base, 3.5Ghz single core turbo for the top bin seems confirmed.
And AM4 board with PCI slots? Quite an I/O barren board.
Is this going to outperform my 4790k in games
This is the age of data mining! If they can make an extra 2 million on data why not i guess.Quite odd that you would have to sign up for their stream , does AMD not want to reach as many people as possible ?

For the sake of all of us PC nerds, let's all pray that AMD got their shit together with Zen. The market needs some competition for once. The 5-10% performance bumps that Intel has been doing for years now is getting old.
You are not going to get bigger bumps no matter what happens. The only possible thing you can get is more cores and/or cheaper prices that will limit R&D in a race to the bottom.

That's actually part of what I'm talking about. I don't expect massive IPC increases anymore either. More cores and cheaper prices per core would also go a long way. If more people had realistic access to more than 4 cores, we'd likely see more software that is able to take advantage of all the new threads. If that's how we have to get our performance increases in the future, that's fine by me.
More idle cores?
There is a reason for why the core count race quickly died.
Hence the part of my comment about maybe we'd see new, multi-threaded apps (ie games) that could take advantage of having the cores rather than have them sit idle or do next to nothing.
That naming scheme is quite unfortunate.
My thoughts immediately went to "ricin." Breaking Bad's fault.They could have come up with a better name, yes. But it will catch on.
