AMD Ryzen CPU Photos Surface
Gotta love the vibe, check the photos after the break. It seems that an OEM or something leaked photos of multiple 12-unit trays of AMD Ryzen processors.
If you look at the photos (courtesy of videocardz) you can see "Ryzen" laser etched onto the heatspreaders (IHS). The processors are showing several products codes so there definitely will be some choices at launch alright. Well it's just pretty pictures of course, have a peek.
Yeah it seems AMD is on a roll, this will be a big launch.

Straight long pins of AMD cpus kinda scares me.
Stupid question, but why they don't design more flat design like Intel CPU?
Cuz they are AMD? Lol

The pins are expensive and the only reason that intel makes pins on boards is to transfer this expense to the board makers. So I don't see a reason why pins on CPU are somehow a bad thing.

I find myself asking the same question. After a quick bit of googling it would appear that LGA allows for higher densities of contacts between the motherboard and the CPU. I wouldn't be surprised if cost is also a factor, considering AMD are needing to reap in as much profit as humanely possible with Ryzen.
