Certainly looking interesting for sure! Hopefully this will give Intel a bit of a kick up the ass

AMD just murdered the entire Intel lineup (except for the 10core) and turned my 1000$ 5960x into just another cpu. Intel is watching with Dismay!!

So to sum it up it's faster than intel in rendering and transcoding, but for games we didn't see any FPS not on the BF1 with TitanXP or with the new VEGA GPU playing star wars.... this seems shady. Also for saying you are launching Q1 and you don't have boost clocks yet... seems strange. Also no price and you have Q1 launch.... shadyyyy I hope it kicks intel ass in games and the price is lower.

damn I'm tired like crazy but could not resist to not see Lisa's presentation and realised that now my teeshirt is wet
. It really is a neat and smart CPU and I just have the impression that AMD just iterrate Intel line-up obsolete! I'm damn sold and looks like I'll need to change also my GPU next year....I mean in 17.01!! They cannot bring this new CPU and GPU soon enough!!
Thanks AMD, these were the best spent 43 Minutes of year 2016 so far!!!

This looks exciting. Now if the pricing is sensible, I'll be upgrading to Zen. Also will wait for overclocking results and game performance and to see what boards will come out for the platform. Here's to the waiting game
