Interesting move after "AMD Rizen" was launched, wonder how this is going to be viewed on the stock market.
- alayne 9y agoAMD has had cheaper/slower processors for many years. Is something different about Ryzen?
- joshmn 9y agoQuite a bit.
- ksec 9y agoCheaper and MUCH slower, Lower Pref / Watts. Ryzen close the gap and offer better value for money.
- uep 9y agoIs that the case? From the benchmarks I've seen, they're not slower. They might be slower for single-core video game performance, but you need to spend over $1000 on Intel to compete with the $500 Ryzen on workstation performance. I imagine most companies care more about workstation performance.
- my123 9y agoPower efficiency of the Ryzen 7 1700 is just massive. And it even has ECC at those prices...
- my123 9y agoYes, the Naples 32 cores/64 threads powerhouse is what's dangerous to Intel, especially at its performance level. (datacenter is where Intel probably makes most of its profits, and Naples is eating right into that market)
- alayne 9y agoAccording to articles on Forbes and Extremetech, Intel currently has 99% of the server market. This is a new product that may affect Intel, but it hasn't done anything yet. So far this is just speculation then.
- snovv_crash 9y agoIt hasn't done anything yet because it hasn't been released yet. So of course it is speculation. However, based on the downclocked Ryzen benchmarks I have seen, it should significantly outperform anything Intel has in Perf/W at the 5W/core level. And Perf/W is what datacenters care about.
- drewg123 9y agoThe Naples (server version of Ryzen) has more memory BW, more cores, and more PCIe lanes than Intel's Xeons, and threatens their data center hegemony when it is released. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/amd-naples-server-processor-more-cores-bandwidth-memory-than-intel/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/amd-n...
