AMD Processors

AMD recently breathed new life into its microprocessor business with the release of its Ryzen CPU architecture, which is significantly faster than the company's older Bulldozer, Piledriver, and Kaveri based processors. While Ryzen occupies the high-end of the CPU market, AMD still produces APUs and CPUs based on its older microarchitecture designs to handle the low-end.

    I would love to see the Opteron versions of Ryzen released. I'm curious to see how Ryzen scales with multiple sockets.

    Don't worry, it's coming. I'm saving up just for this. Naples looks outstanding.

    Considering how well Ryzen does with well-threaded applications, I think Naples will be very competitive on both price as well as per-socket performance. They don't need to steal the whole market, either. Their sales in the server market dwindled to nothing over the last several years, so any server share they get is pure growth - and profit margin in this market is a lot better than the consumer side. If they do well enough with Naples it will greatly fund R&D for all their upcoming projects.

    I known it's old & outdated & all but the 6300 is at a wonderful pricepoint now for someone who just wants a cheap desktop with good multi tasking capabilities.

    Same here, I am more excited with their APU than Ryzen. Integrated graphics is their strength and Intel nor Nvidia can answer to that onslaught. I also don't like discrete graphics on a laptop for the fear of killing the whole system just because of that notorious micro-something of the solder, degrading over time.

    The engineering sample is out, so sometime in the summer or autumn.

    Would love to see the original LIST PRICE. Next to each of the current prices. So there's a reference point. Would you add that in? It would make this list sooo much more helpful.
