AMD will release its Ryzen CPU in the first quarter of 2017 and according to reports, the red team demo-ed Ryzen with a base clockspeed of 3.6Ghz and a turbo frequency of 3.9Ghz at this year’s CES event.
In addition, French hardware magazine CanardPC claimed that a fourth revision of AMD’s high-end processor is already here. According to CanardPC, this fourth revision features a base clockspeed of 3.6Ghz and a turbo frequency of 4.0Ghz.
F4 is already here @ 3.6/4.0 😁

Les Ryzen 8C/16T actuels (3.6/4.0 GHz) dépassent bien les 95W de TDP. Logique vu les résultats obtenus dans nos tests.

It’s worth noting that AMD’s Ryzen will be feature an unlocked multiplier. As such, users will be able to overclock their CPUs without any major issues.
What’s also interesting is that AMD’s Ryzen was able to compete with Intel’s Core i7-6900K. During AMD’s New Horizon event, the red team showcased Ryzen (clocked at 3.4Ghz but with an unspecified turbo frequency) matching – and in some cases surpassing – Intel’s Core i7-6900K.
AMD has not revealed how much Ryzen will cost and its exact release date, so stay tuned for more!

Nothing major but still good to see.
This is way better than it would have been if it was the other way around.
As they say, our greatest glory is not in never falling but in ryzing up after you fall. Hopefully you have finally ryzen AMD.
I really hope these turn out as good as they seem. I’m itching to build a new PC and I want some new hotness for my build. That and I really want to support AMD…
We need prices!! I want to build some new rigs for my customers but I told them to wait and see…
Ive got alot of people waiting on them also.
It will be cheaper than intel, what else do you need?
Can we see full specs, pricing and eta’s yet? no? ok shut the hell up until you’re ready to discuss that.
You can always stop reading if you’re not interested kid.
I had no idea that they could weaponize autism.
Everything I need to know now is:
1. Single-thread performance benchmarks.
2. Pricing in EWW region.
Show me…
What single thread aplication are you using? You probably use many of them, but still.
To even consider 16 thread capable CPU for single threaded performance is … well…
Thanks Bob for your input. Please put the crayons back in their box when you’re done.
Just as an FYI, in New Horizon, the turbo was disabled on the Ryzen CPU so it was running at clock speeds.
Just show me the real world gaming benchmarks with these CPUs. I don’t care about anything else.
IMO, it’ll surpass the 6900K with ease, but probably it’ll fall short of the 7700K due to the higher frequency of the latter, and the fact that lazyass devs don’t bother on optimizing their games even if the console themselves have 8-core CPUs.
I’m still gonna buy Ryzen anyway, cos my main game for the next years will be Star Citizen, and it uses 6+ cores, probably even all of them eventually. And in those situations, more cores > higher frequency (well, most surely).
calling intel’s competition overpriced is just hilarious.
Forgive my hopefully not too naive question but which Ryzen chip is the one that’ll directly compete with the 6700K/7700K?
The articles on Ryzen I’ve seen thus far all seem to focus on the chip/s intended to compete with Haswell-E/Broadwell-E rather than Skylake/Kaby Lake.
