European pricing for AMD's Ryzen 8-core CPUs has been leaked

if the SR7 1700X is truly meant to compete with the 7700K pricing it over €100 more than it is just a no no. The same can be said for the SR7 Pro 1700 wanting to compete with the 7700.
 
If this is true I'm going to be very excited. I'd like to get a six-core RyZen CPU and an X300 mITX AM4 board for ~£350. I really hope ASUS do an X300 version of the Z270i Strix that'll sit in that price-range.

Well if these prices are accurate then you are looking at around £550 to £650 by the time the retailers have added there chunk on to it for the top of the line cpu.

That doesn't however take in to account if there is anything else to add on such as VAT etc which just bumps up the price even more.

I really was hoping that the top end cpu was going to come in around the same price as a 7700K to really kick, Intel in the ass if they perform as well as claimed.

Going to keep an eye on the prices and performance but looking at it, it looks my plans for my tax rebate this year are still on for the Vive rather than thinking about a cpu swap.

Guru3D's report of this says the price includes VAT. The leak is from a Spanish retailer suggesting the prices rumoured are going to be very close to what we would have to pay.

I do think the pricing is great, but until I see gaming benchmarks I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic and excited. We do know that RyZen performs well in multi-threaded tasks and will be great for video editors who don't want to pay Intel task, but if their flagship only competes with a 6600K in gaming, the i7-7700K will remain king of gaming.
 
Im more interested in how it performs converting 1080P and 4K game recordings, because that's what I want to reduce the time of, loosing 1 to 5 fps in a game is hardly going to be noticeable.

It won't be noticeable in action, but it will stop a lot of gamers buying RyZen over Kaby Lake. They'll see the hype train for RyZen as being unfounded, further miring the attitude of AMD as being an inferior gaming processor manufacturer to Intel and NVidia.
 
when will AMD learn these prices are way over what they should be, some of these CPU's are actually priced at the same as the competing Intel one.

Same goddamn thing they did with Fury X which was also supposedly able to compete with Nvidia's current flagship at that time and then ended up lacking behind in some areas.

These morons will never learn.....

389 euro for a ryzen 8 core 16 thread or, 450 euro for a i7 5820k 6 core 12 threads, i mean thats the market we currently live in and in no way is amd more expensive in this situation and offering the same, no instead we have 2 cores more, 4 threads more and still cheaper, atleast in my country, it remains to be seen if these prices are accurate, but it is looking promising.

What? You do realise the comparisons made could be based on price and not performance? That means the R7 1700 at €390 could perform above a 7700K with a lower TDP. If it does the CPU is the better buy. AMD have to make money on this. They can't charge pennies just because they are behind in the market. That's not how business works. 'Oh, you're struggling to compete; better degrade yourself and your products by underselling to regain market share.' You regain market share by making/providing kickass products/services at competitive prices, not underselling yourself.
 
These are the very high end chips. Coming in at almost half the price of the comparable Intel for the same thing is very good. It's even better that they are doing three models, because Intel only do one 8 core desktop CPU and it's a bag of sand almost.

Put it this way. If you did not buy X79 at launch and you did not buy X99 at launch this isn't for you. You either don't have the cash or you don't need the cores, one of the two.

The "mainstream" parts have yet to be confirmed.

I won't be buying this because I don't want it, can't afford it and certainly don't need it lol.

Yeah, I won't be buying the flagship because I can't afford it or need it. I'd like 6700K-type performance in games at the price of an i5 (€250), in whatever variant that comes whether it be 6c/12t, 8c/16t or even 4c/8t, with decent overclocking. I'd like a high-end X370 motherboard for around €150. To get the same system from Intel I would have to pat €370 for the i7 and €180-€220 for the motherboard, and likely with fewer cores.
 
The cheapest one will be the one for enthusiasts. AMD have confirmed they are all MP unlocked, so there is no reason to buy the higher end models unless you want it to OC itself which no doubt they will do higher clocks. I doubt the cheapest one will be binned as well as the higher end ones either, but should definitely offer extreme/enterprise users better value, especially if you know how to OC it.

I would imagine one of the hex cores will be the mainstream "go to" CPU. Probably again, the cheapest one.

Edit. Sorry, they are not specifically MP unlocked they are simply "unlocked". Meaning they might have locked multis and clocking will be done by the FSB/BCLK.

Disagree. You're getting an 8 core 16thread CPU. Not some 4c 8t one. You'll be paying for all that performance boost
 
One thing that has got me looking at this is the intel competitor.

An 8C/16T Ryzen being equivilent to an 4C8T Intel CPU doesn't look too promising. I would have thought the 4C8T Zen's would be competiting with the 4C8T i7's.

All still waits to be seen though.

Yeah, I have unanswered questions as well. I think the comparison chart is more to do with price than performance. That's what I'm hoping at least.

It's all based off price. This has nothing to do with performance as no one knows how it performs (except a few lucky people)
 
This is going to be interesting. I can't w8 for the reviews to come up. If AMD will be competitive with performance and lower in price Intel has to think hard. But I don't get excited ahead of time.
