AMD boasts about running DOOM on Zen

No idea who or where you buy from..but I would stop using them if I were you.

Out of... 6 Intel Motherboards I've done over the years, Zero has had bent pins from manufacturer.

That includes...

P55
P67
Z97

I think there was a scandal involving a particular distributor, not new to the PC scene,that used to repackage returns and sell them as new. They were even accused of bending pins when motherboards were returned just to deny them. This left lots of customers with egg on their face. I personally never experienced this so I will pass on naming the accused. :)

Let me google that for you

Used to... some might say they still do.
 
In my life time ive only built two intel systems. The X58 sabertooth i bought was refurbished but advertised as perfect working order. The pins were bent were a surprise to me, i was able to fix them and the system is still in production today. The other was a brand new Z170 with pentium G4400 which was perfect.

My comments are not so much from my own experiences but other members of this forum -- ive read and seen a lot of bent pins on these forums or for sale on ebay.
 
I had a z87 with bent pins once. One in, I dunno tens of LGA boards. Not bad, but it does happen.

Pin or no pin i only care about the performance and the price. Vulkan does support Multithreaded Command buffering, so the workload will spread across all cores .I will be not surprised the if performance will be great on Zen.

And DX12 is no different. Rendering is one thing, game logic another.

They said there is a possibility of a limited desktop release in quarter 4 2016 followed by the full release in 2017.

You know what that means in AMD lingo : press samples between Christmas and New Year!

Just to chime in: I ran DOOM on OGL versus Vulcan and see no difference with single-card operation. Key bit of info: my CPU has 28 threads.

SLI works™ on OGL.

Specs in sig.

I am not so sure Nvidia is yet capable of the original async process (the original = multiple cores talking to GPU simultaneously) Hence why they see precious little difference between APIs. Not a big deal as their performance is far better than good enough (trying to avoid any bickering over semantics). But also why AMD does see such a huge gain. CPU-wise Doom doesn't seem too reliant as my 8350 @ 4.0Ghz (accident as I usually game between 4.66-4.8Ghz) played more than fine. That is why I praise Doom as one of the best releases in recent memory and although mot generally my type of game, I WILL be buying it, it impressed me so much.

The problem with Intel's LGA especially for HEDT is that the number of pins keeps increasing each time a new socket generally comes out. In the case of LGA775 we then had LGA1366 and then LGA2011. LGA2011-3 was an exception but now with Skylake-E we are looking at LGA3647. Intel can't keep increasing the pin count in their sockets indefinitely while AMD keeps the socket size relatively the same and usually with backwards compatibility. The also downside to Intel's reasoning for HEDT is that their socket is only good for two generations and then it requires a completely new socket. With mainstream platforms it's even worse as LGA1150 was only good for Haswell (and Haswell refresh) and Skylake necessitated a completely new socket. Intel should rethink about pursuing PGA sockets again just like LGA478. Also PGA has an advantage in mechanical load limits (compare LGA1366 with LGA478 for example).

LGA3647 is the server xeon Skylake-EP
LGA2066 R4 is the HEDT Skylake-X that is replacing the E line.
