AMD showed Blender and Handbrake demos recently and the 8C, 16T Ryzen barely edged the similarly clocked 8C, 16T Intel i7-6900K.
What are your expectations? Finally some competition?

It beats, yes but passmark is a stupid benchmark tbh.
Don't compare a desktop CPU to a laptop CPU like chimera201 said.
Actually in that simplistic sense, it is just matching Sandy Bridge.

How many would be buying dedicated graphic card? I feel most would want iGPU and for now AMD is not bringing any APUs and Intel in that regard is safe and good. Intel may lose some market share, but won't be a huge slide in the near future. When AMD brings Ryzen APUs and price it aggressively, will see where Intel stands then.
Maybe but for me, I will stick with Intel Skylake unless Ryzen is massively faster than Intel. I don't think it will be. So waiting until 2021.

I am not expecting much as I dropped the idea of upgrading CPU+MB+RAM which I had been saying for about 3yrs now. I have upgraded everything around that and I hope I am set for another few years.
Gaming seems to be variable as Joker got his 1700 @3.9Ghz match 7700k @5 GHz
So i heard that R5 is releasing on April 11..?
Yes
No (LOL)... I'm using Dr.ketan N7 Custom ROM on my Note 4.
I think this game was picked because Ryzen has been suffering on this particular game on most benchmarks.
Yes in Bangalore the 1700 is available for 237xx, weird how varied the pricing is.
15% performance gain
Ha ha. Sab batein kar rahe, koi nai khareed raha (everyone is just talking).
[MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION] has purchased Ryzen 7 1700X.
This.
Intel had no competition until now. Wait for AMD & Partners to fix the Ryzen issue and Intel's response before claiming anything.
There are no issues except may be RAM compatibility.
So patches of games will and should be there. What about the ram issues? Will there be any fixes for the same in future? By fixes I mean driver updates etc.
RAM issues will mostly be fixed by BIOS updates.
In a nutshell and in layman language what does this mean?
Not many sites with overall CPU scores. So went with Passmark. Do you know any good site?
Wait till icelake launch.
Well he is Singraulian
He is from Singrauli.
Pronunciation in Hindi, please?
In order to make my PC future games ready, What GPU do I need to add now.
Upgrade a year later.
Thanks ico. Will follow accordingly.
Now this is going to surprise you. AMD Ryzen 14nm Wafer Yields Pass 80% - Threadripper CPUs on track
If you have the budget and need for TR (more than 8 cores and 16 threads), go for it.
AM4 is mainstream. 8 cores and Dual Channel RAM.
1950x & 1920x are equal to Intel i9's.
I know. I didn't know whether i7's successor will be 8 or 9, but I was thinking that 1920x & 1950x should be equal to them.
This is the first AMD Ryzen laptop:This is the first AMD Ryzen laptop
Thanks Sunil for the info.
Ryzen 3 is launching in 'GST era'. There should be no confusion with pricing, right? Having stocks from pre-GST and selling in now may have some pricing issue, but why now?
Yeah, me too think that. But not all.
Actually they have issued a notification regarding the same but no one in the market is following that. Also government also won't do anything if this thing is bought in their notice.
You need to buy a GPU for mainstream ryzen CPUs. "Onboard graphics" don't really exist these days. Its either integrated with the CPU or separate like a GPU.
Ryzen APUs are being released on August, 18th which has iGPUs like Intel has.
AMD's Bristol Ridge APUs are set to hit retail by August 18th
Then that is what I am looking for. Great
The one releasing on 18th of Aug is Bristolridge based chips which are not Ryzen APU.
