Imagine if this was put at the same price as the 6900K. It would absolutely destroy it at that price range at everything except gaming. But who the hell pays $1000 for a CPU to game on?

Who buys a 16-core for gaming? This is for rendering, plain and simple. Need lots of cores? This CPU should do the trick.

That's what I mean. It's going to destroy the 6900k in everything but gaming, but who buys either of these for gaming

Want to render fast, use CUDA.. it eats it for breakfast.

i haved forget about AMD But NOWS it's look to be a great competiitor for music studio 16 cores it's like a xeon no? hope so wait for a better comparaison=00=
and the cache memory will be?

This is true, but aren't there still tasks that CPU's are better at than GPU's.

Can you leak information about a rumour. :headscratch:

This is true, but aren't there still tasks that CPU's are better at than GPU's.

Ive been a Blender renderer for ages now and used all AMD, Intel, NVIDIA & Radeon parts and found that in AMDs latest "Favorite" little demo piece NVIDIA smashes everything in Blender it's just how it is, Blender does run faster with AMD CPUs that much is true but when it comes to people wanting the quickest way to render (specifically Blender) NVIDIA has it nailed with the CUDA cores.

What I would love to see are both AMD Ryzen and Intel CPUs compared in Blender where I can see the render settings clearly displayed rather than all these promos AMD keep showing where they just smash F12 before you can get a glimpse of the settings (not that they ever have that pane open - wonder why).

Opencl is a good too. Not just cuda

32mb L3 cashe i guesss 8MB L2

This rumour is circulating fast now.

Yes, it will be a server processor. Later on they will have a 32 core/64thread version of it. The cache memory will be the double the Ryzen 7's. It means, they use a modular CPU, in this case 2x 8C/16T with 2x2x1 CCX -> QUAD Channel memory handling... It should be around 1,000-1,250 USD. The 32C/64T should be priced around 2,000-2,500 USD, if I count well. So 2017 will be a very exciting year on the CPU market. ;-)

Kinda missing the point....

Which is?....

 

[NeverBackDown]

Which is?....

How can you not see the point?
It's his first sentence...
Then compare to the article.

A consumer level CPU and socket with consumer level chipset compared to a server chip that will have much different sockets and a very different chipset... Because well... Server environment.
If you don't follow that.
Basically a server CPU this chip is not going to be. Sure it could run a server, but technically any CPU could. (not that I think this cpu will happen anyway for​ consumers)
