AMD Ryzen BoxArt and Capsaicin Event at GDC 2017
Alright, I've folded, there will not be one single day without any mention of AMD and Ryzen until it launches I'm afraid. As you guys have seen, several webshops have shown Ryzen processors specs, models and prices. One thing that hasn't surfaced was the boxart. Until today that is.
The packaging was posted on a Thai based retailer. Have a peek at the thumbnails below to get en idea.
Other then that we have one more thing to report, AMD will be holding Capsaicin Event at GDC 2017 which is held February the 28th. The event actually is called "Capsaicin & Cream", and thus coincides with the Ryzen launch. It is likely that they will showcase some VEGA as well of course. The event will be split into two segments, a Livestream in-between 10.30am and 11.30pm PST, with a "feature-packed show highlighting the hottest new graphics and VR technologies"; and then a AMD will host a closed developers session from 2.30pm to 5pm PST for GDC-attendees.
Right well who knows, tomorrow (Wednesday) perhaps could be one day without any AMD Ryzen news .. right?

When I see "capsaicin" I think of the Scoville scale and hot peppers. Either way, it's a weird chemical to name an event after.
Though what I find weirder is how they have the Romanian flag in the background...

Question for those who might know this.....
When do they actually ship the Cpu to guys that test them on you tube? Guys like Linus? I know they get samples of intel's high-end stuff before any of us have a chance to buy them at stores, when and if is Amd planning to ship Ryzen to reviewers so we can get a taste of some (Real benchmarks) not just what Amd wants us to see???

Yeah I know that, although I was thinking hot, as in hot peppers burning your esophagus, (not good for a GPU) --- if we go with spicy, as in cool, or sexy hot, then it's a better term I guess.
*Sidenote, I was having muscle spasms a couple years ago (left pectoral and surrounding areas) that were severe enough I was concerned that I was having miniature heart attacks at one point. My Dr. prescribed some extra strength capsaicin cream for it. That stuff burned like I'd laid on the beach all day with no suntan lotion.... but it worked and fixed the problem.
