AMD Ryzen 7 series and Corona?

Ryzen 9 SPEC! WOW!!!

I hope  for the Ryzen 9 1998X <=1.000 euro.
I also want to see the price for the MB...

Yes this is great news! The 1998X might be the only chip that would make me upgrade from my current 12 core 3.1ghz Xeon. Also, as it's a consumer chip it will be overclockable and have great single core performance - great dual use chip, one of the usual downsides of WS chips.

OC'd the 1800x is getting ~ 1700pts in Cinebench, by comparison my 12 Core Xeon is getting ~ 1800pts. If the scaling on the 1998x is linear or even greater due to the IPC improvements in Zen+ we are in for a treat.

Preliminary benchmark for an internal version of the 1998




Will probably improve in the final version/ OC

Very good!!! Finally, after 5 years of +10 , + 20%  Intel CPU/Year improvements, we are able to see a good variant for a reasonable price.

Well for ~double the performance of 1800x the 1998x could actually be around ~1000 eur... I hope :D

After all those pathetic quad-to-hexa cores that's finally a nice release :- )

I think the 1998 'X' version might break the 1k mark though.

Now to pair this with Vega/Volta gpu with 16gb memory and we have finally worthy workstation !

[cecofuli]

If AMD is "smart", the price should be 899 euro. But, we will see

i9 18/32 = $2.000

[burnin]

be aware, that's just on paper still...

By the way, for those not informed.. various guys have tested the new i9-7900X model with 10/20 cores and even massively overclocked (it is 3.3Ghz stock only) with all cores running at 4.5Ghz it is hitting like 2400-2450 tops in CinebenchR15 where then new Ryzen Threadripper 16/32 cores that is 100-150$ cheaper then Intel's 10/20 is getting 3200 points :)

Intel is kinda lost at the moment and they will have to play with prices to remain competitive :) Future is bright for us customers!

Pricewise...totally.

But now I am kind of interested how good can the 18-core i9 clock.

[cecofuli]

Well


(*) Cinebench R15 with Ryzen 7 8/16    = 1600 points   ($550)

(*) Cinebench R15 with Ryzen 9 16/32  = 3200 points   ($850)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cinebench R15 with i7 6950X 10/20 = 1850 points  ($1700)

Cinebench R15 with i9 7900X 10/20 = +-2400points?  ($1700)

Cinebench R15 with i9 7980XE 18/32 = +-4320 points?  ($2000)


PS: (the i9 score isn't 100% correct. We have to wait)


Of course, with this info, the i9 7980XE will be the winner,
But with 1x PC i9 7980XE ( MB are expensive), I think that you are able to build 2 or 2.5 x PC Ryzen 9 16/32.

You write this every year :- ) And you could buy 10x i7 quad-core in 2014, which was very fashionable back than.

Anyway, the motherboards will be on same price level between these platforms this time, which is very much confirmed.
You will not buy 2-2.5x PCs.   1.5x is more accurate number.

I love the AMD's new chips but let's not stretch it into fantasy land. Full PCs are expensive in HEDT.


Case in point for PURE Nodes (cheap 50 euro GPU added):

Ryzen 9 16/32 = 900 euros (cheapest version with VAT in Europe)
64GB DDR4 = 700 euros (why 700 and not 500 ? Because of infinity fabric, let's not sacrifice performance)
MB = 250 euros
PSU+Cooler+Case+basic SSD+basic GPU = 500 euros
------------------------------------------------------------
Total 2350 euros

i9 7960X = 1800 euros (let's compare 16 to 16cores)
64GB DDR4 = 700 euros (except we don't need high clock here and could go for 500)
MB = 250 euros
PSU+Cooler+Case+basic SSD+basic GPU = 500 euros
------------------------------------------------------------
Total 3250 euros

1.4X coefficient. And that's for nodes. For high-end Workstations, it will be even less because the price of GPU will offset this into higher numbers.

Let's add GPU and it's 3000 vs 4000 euros.  1.3X coefficient.

So while 1K euro savings are HUGE, it's not 2-2.5X

[cecofuli]

ehehe...  every year! You made me laugh XD
You are right,  1.4x is the correct multiplier ))
