AMD's Ryzen CPUs will reportedly launch without 6-core variants

[Dawelio]

That doesn't make any sense to me. Economically for AMD it might somewhat make sense, but it bellies the Intel hatred from guys AlienATX who seem to feel we've been cheated on by performance. If AMD only matches Intel, would that not make AMD just as liable for harsh criticism? I guess we should buy neither just to spite them, right?

Rhetorical question.

Now this didn't make any sense to me? :huh:...

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a big deal at all? Most gamers are on quad cores, most productivity folks will be happy with 8 cores. 6 is kind of a useless middle ground IMO.

If AMD ever try charging £185 for a dual core processor with HT then believe me I will give them the same reception.

There shouldn't even be dual cores anymore. It's 2017. Most phones don't even have just two anymore.

Shame, that's the one I think could give Intel the most competition

There are actually two 6 Core parts.

There are actually two 6 Core parts.

And you know this how?

65 TDP production began 12/28 and 95 will be about 3 months later. Can't go into the how...

Could that not just be the 4 core 8 thread, because that's what I would think it was

 

[OSO8]

No, there are also 4 different 4/8 parts.

Low and behold we have the most accurate information! No sources needed! Just word of mouth.
