As long as they beat a 4.8ghz devil's canyon I'm all in. Waiting for Vega is going to suck now with half a loop.

I see a lot of negativity surrounding these leaked prices. Lots of people upset from being ripped off the past 3-5 years. hah
It doesn't even need to be on par. Even if it's with 10 or 20% at the given price it'd be worth it.Well if the prices are accurate and the performance is on par to the i7-6900k then AMD has a real winner on their hands. I will of course wait and see the real numbers first. Please don't mess this up AMD I'd really like to buy an AMD CPU for my next rig.
FTFYSlow down. All depends on core vs core performance. AMD is guilty of putting out high core count chips with underperforming babycores before.
AMD core != Intel core
You can feel the worry and anxiety in some of the posts.
As I literally just bought a 7700k a couple weeks ago I hope to god they suck.
The pins might bend on the chips =)
If you bought a 7700K to replace a 4690K you haven't been paying attention.As I literally just bought a 7700k a couple weeks ago I hope to god they suck.
Which really shows the difference in mindset between AMD and Intel, AMD being considered the budget brand while Intel is the enthusiast with plentiful Z boards available at launch.I don't remember who it was but during CES one of the tech Youtube channels I follow said that they were told higher-end boards would be coming later with the initial launch primarily focusing on budget products.

I don't talk about AMD provided benchmarks, and no i do not expect it to be faster than even Broadwell-E in certain popular cases. Basically i knew IPC would be fairly close since about August, only wondering about clocks and pricing. Both are covered now and result is enough to get even myself, a hard pessimist, on the train.No we don't. The facts show there might be potential for it to be a winner but the benchmarks AMD has shown are too limited and too controlled to really gain any solid information from. And that's ignoring that benchmarks from the company making a product always tend to be optimistic (and I'm not just picking on AMD here, it applies to Intel and Nvidia as well). We need to see how it pans out in other reviews and in the real world. It very well could be a winner, but no point in getting overly hyped about it right now.
I can't help but feel it's the mobo manufacturers being wary and waiting to see how Ryzen is received and sells before putting their full support behind it.
Until the chips are in peoples hands and we know exactly how they actually perform and know exactly how much they cost, its all vaporware and HYPE.

Third- does it support de-lidding?
Soldered...
Looks like lots of people are banking on this being true, and performance holding.
With that prices I might consider going to AMD CPU next time around. Unless Intel reduce their prices by whooping 60%
And after that, all of us will be paying 500 for a dual core Atom, since AMD will be gone for good.
No one was ripped off, people bought what was available and the market supported the prices, Intel has no problem selling chips. This is why I find it doubtful AMD will price them like this IF they really are in the same performance range of Intel. They would be losing out on LOTS of income they need right now and for what? A 50% difference in price with the same performance, hell, just a 10-20% delta in price and very few would buy Intel, as the market already supports those prices at much larger market saturation than AMD can probably even put out at this time. If they could do 70% cheaper and same performance, NO ONE would buy Intel who knows anything about computers, and you would not be able to find stock for probably months, if ever.
This is all based off of a lot of "if" however, if they are sub $400, if it's a 8 core part, if its performance matches Intel in real world etc etc.
And with so many ifs, I might as well throw in another, IF all this turns out to be true, my next server/video editing rig will probably be AMD based.
Nah, we'll just be holding onto our quad/hexa/octa core CPUs for a lot longer ... like 5-15 years longer.
How can you be "ripped off" when you KNOWINGLY and WILLINGLY bought it and all relevant facts were available to you.

side note...if you think Intel doesn't what AMD's pricing plan is...I got a bridge on the moon to sell you.
