Zen looks interesting and hopefully is close to the claims that AMD have made, I hope it's not another Bulldozer.

It would be great to see a simplified number of chipset variants as well on the consumer side.

Jim Keller man, Jim Keller.

You know he works at Tesler now right? He left AMD aaaaages ago.

Yeah he basically did what he had to do then went off in search of adventure elsewhere. I mean, why would AMD pay him when he's done what they asked?

TBH I have faith that he did it right. Of course they could monumentally mess it up but that would be pretty hard. The issue with Bulldozer was the design. AMD did everything to refine it but it just stank from the very beginning really.

He always does this. He does amazing work then leaves for the next job. Basically a tradesman, just gets paid a crap ton more

I hope hes basically delivered a new Athlon... And Zen makes the impact that did

That is the dream. We need a strong AMD to keep everyone else in check.

The lack of real competition & decent oneupmanship isn't stopping innovation, thank goodness, but it usually brings down costs..............come on you reds
(still intelligreen thru & thru tho)

 

[NeverBackDown]

That is the dream. We need a strong AMD to keep everyone else in check.

And the Server/HPC community wants it too. They are tired of Intels ridiculous prices and profit margin

 

[Kushiro]

Haha mixed up Vega release with Zen for a moment..

 

[Dicehunter]

Finally PCI-E 3.0 support, Only 4 and a half years behind Intel....

 

[Kushiro]

To by fair, the manufacturers did implement a solution

PCI-E 3.0 didnt really matter until recently anyways. Doubt many people who needed the bandwidth PCI-E 3.0 provided would have gone with AMD in the first place.

To be 100% percent honest I think AMD will knock it out of the park with Zen. Kaveri and Godvari have seen some real performance points I think Zen will improve on this.
