AMD Ryzen 7 series and Corona?

[Rhodesy]

Good summary Juraj. Im just so excited about this years offerings compared to the last 3-4 years. Finally we are getting substantial speed jumps that will make a real difference to our working lives. The single CPU coefficient is fair and valid but maybe dual CPU in naples will widen the gap again if the AMD prices remain proportionally low as you dont need to double up on the RAM and case etc.

Yes I think that in September will be a very cool month, this year =)
I'm waiting for Napleas too.

EPYC leaks? ... from $400 up to over $4k
"AMD EPYC 7000 Series Server CPU Specifications, Performance and Pricing Detailed – Up To 32 Cores, 2 TB Memory Support, 128 PCIe Lanes and 3.2 GHz Turbo Clocks"

Or simply wait for some more xeon e5 v4 ES with higher turbo boost price drop and build a 6k+ cinebench r15 system for around 3k

Based on the yesterday published pricing tables, looks like it's the same :- ) It's still 3k + if per cpu if you want the powerful units, but that's still better 30perc. cheaper than Intel (or rather, up to 50perc. more performance for same price).

I think some people expected the high-end line (22-32cores) to be less than, let's say 1.5-2k euro, and not the usual 3k+, but AMD doesn't need to disrupt the server pricing to such a point, they don't need HEDT and pro-sumer users to adopt these if those are fully satisfied with amazing Ryzen 9 chips and prices.

Not happening..and that one chip is not ES :- ). Even the QS/OEM offerings are priced based on performance, not how old they are. Or maybe you mean waiting 2 years.
(machine you're thinking is about 4.8k with no GPU and 64gb ram right now, it's fantastic price for ridiculous machine, but it's not 3k anywhere in near time vicinity)

I`ve recently build one for around 3k, cpu`s were around 2k, the rest 1.5k or so. Its a node so didn`t invest in gpu, does 4800 cb15

And I've built with 4500 score for 2k. But it scales rapidly up and you mentioned '6000' score C15. And that's way pricier on ebay right now and will stay like that for next 2 years.

Sure, just wanted to note that I don`t see a reason to jump to new socket Intel/Amd since 2011 is still rocking.

Yes but it's kind of unfair to compare with grey-market (I love it as much as the next-person but for some people and business that is no-go) products and prices.

Back to Ryzen: Looks amazing.

[cecofuli]

Is this the Ryzen 9? O shit... I remember my first 386 SX...  ahahaha...
I cannot image Naples CPU size!

Anyway, a good option is to build a Naples CPU in september, with, for example, a good

EPYC 7281 16/32  2.7Ghz ($600)

then, in 2 years, when the price will go down, to do a strong upgrade with a

EPYC 7501 32/64 3.0 Ghz ($2700)


The

EPYC 7601 32/64 3.2 Ghz ($4000)

is too expensive for only +6.4 Ghz (200Mhz * 32)

EPYC 7501 32/64 3.0 Ghz ($2700)

That is just mental (corewise) and will definitely be my future upgrade :D Currently using Ryzen 1700X (3.8Ghz) machine (replaced my dual Xeons) which is working great!

[cecofuli]

Core i9-7920X (12 cores) = $1199

Core i9-7940X (14 cores) = $1399

Core i9-7960X (16 cores) = $1699

Core i9-7980X (18 cores) = $1999

Hey guys,
I got my Ryzen 7 1700x up and running.

the board and cpu combo cost $430.... achiieved over clock of 4.9 ghz but I left at 4.8 ghz...its more stable and runs cooler.


Been running inside max for about 2 days and about  6 hr and no problems so far.

Hey, any of you have any real idea when does EPYC come out? Im kinda in the midle of looking for new PC build.
