Surprised to hear nothing about early AM4 chips and boards, are we just going to have to wait for zen then?
Seems like the companies are leaning toward very limited sneak peeks with larger information releases very close to product launch lately. Probably to keep anticipation and interest high vs learning much about something early on and losing interest during the waiting period.
CPU front, I'd assume the same range as Intel, maybe with 1/2 the SKU's to start with, although if they go the 4, 6 and 8 core route, maybe each config. will have the same range. I think it would be to a marketing strength if there was a low, mid, high and high unlocked (if all chips are not unlocked...fingers crossed!) vs nearly arbitrary differences in so many choices.
With the updated platform, expect AMD versions of all the same intel range boards. Gaming, gaming +, gaming+ with shiny bits, gaming++ with RGB and epeen enlarger...so on and so forth.
Looking forward to some greyscale themed products hopefully. The RGB stuff is dreadful, who wants 40 utilities running to control all the odds and ends you can add on these days!??! It would be so much better with a unified connector type for sure.
What is the AMD = to Intel Skylake 6800K (aleast 4 core+4 thread), Also I thought there was going to be a launch in October this year 2016??? of some AMD Zen chips
