AMD Ryzen: New Speculation on prices and release

AMD Ryzen: New Speculation on prices and release

Over at the Chinese Chiphell-forum some new info appeared on the upcoming Ryzen processor release. AMD is still on track for a late February release announcement, however availability might be shifted towards due to some BIOS bugs from the motherboard manufacturers that need to be addressed.

So basically the release and announcement of the 8-core Ryzen part would take place late February as expected. The four core models however would be launched a few months later (up-to four months). So the now form indication is that the 8-core / 16 threads Summit Ridge SKUs get launched first.

Here's where we dive into the speculation, and please do treat it as such! Prices might not be at the low level that people expect it to be. When you read Chiphell properly you'll notice prices mentioned of 580 to 720 USD for the 8-core parts. They do not mention pricing levels of the 4-core parts though.

Currently there has not been mention of a 6-core part just yet. I need to say that the prices are speculation and likely an estimation. Hence take that info with a grain of salt.

Well, it'd be insane by AMD to have a 350$ 8 core 16 thread CPU that handles workloads at the same speed as an Intel 1000$ CPU. You don't build something like that to have it cost a third of your competitor's similar product, that would just not be very sensible. The immediate association would be that it's somehow much worse if it was a third of the price.

No, I don't know how people could even expect that they'd price themselves much removed from Intel's lineup. If they're much further away than 10-15% I'd be very surprised.

Knowing AMD, they most likely won't reach current Intel performance, so if the CPU costs 600-700$ and performs as much as the 6800k, which is around 450$, then it's AMD all over again, which frankly speaking is expected.

Priced according to performance levels compared to intel but without the price inflation due to lack of competition. I'd be surprised not to see a 700+ Euro CPU from AMD.

AMD can't price their 8c/16t CPU 10-15% bellow intel counterparts.
Not with 16 PCIe lanes VS intel 40 and not with only midrange chipset like x370.

Also for that price they would not sell many CPUs and AMD gain in market share would be minimal.
Not even mentioning that Intel can easily slash prices by same amount and is accelerating to deliver new CPUs much earlier.

Noone could realistically expect 8c CPU for $350 but if it goes for more then $500-600 it will be niche market and not many will buy it.
