Motherboard makers Optimistic about price performance ratio AMD RYZEN and X370
Digitimes did a round at the motherboard manufacturers (refers to them as sources) and verified that they had been sampled Ryzen. It seems they are even aggressive in their purchase orders. Also mentioned is VEGA.
Digitimes: AMD's next-generation 14nm Ryzen series processors will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2017 and the new platform will be officially released at the end of February and enter global mass shipments in March, according to sources from motherboard players. Optimistic about its high price/performance ratio, motherboard players have been rather aggressive about placing orders for related motherboards recently and some even believe demand for the new platform will increase AMD's share in the worldwide desktop processor market in the second quarter of 2017.
The sources also expect the platform's demand to increase shipments of AMD's 14nm Polaris-based GPUs and upcoming Vega GPUs.
Ryzen series CPUs are manufactured by GlobalFoundries' 14nm FinFET process and the notebook version will arrive in the second half of 2017.
The sources pointed out that they have started receiving high-end X370, mainstream B350 and entry-level A320 chipsets from AMD and are now in the final stage of finishing related testing and motherboard designing.
Thanks to Polaris series graphics card's strong demand, AMD's GPU market share has recently returned to 30% and with Ryzen's promotions and new Vega series products, the sources expect AMD's share to have a chance to return to 40% by the end of 2017.
In addition to motherboard players, AMD's chipset designer ASMedia is also expected to have a chance to enjoy growing revenues in 2017.
With stable demand for semi-customize solutions from game console players, Polaris GPUs being accepted in Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro and new CPU and GPU platforms, AMD is expected to see growing profits for 2017.

I´m getting tired of waiting for Zen to release! First i was going to be released this December, then it was January, then February and now March!!! C´mon WTF is this???!!! To make matters worse, a global release in March means that it´s gonna take at least another month before it´s released in Portugal!...
If Intel releases their stuff in January, then i think i´m gonna skip Zen no matter how good it may be...

AMD has not deviated from a Q1 release in official statements. Any earlier or more specific release date is solely from the rumour mill.

Why wait? It's not like any new products Intel will release will be a whole lot better than whatever you can get now.
Also, there have been statements about a March release for a while. The statements about December and January were nothing more than hopeful rumors.

Yeep - was posted on Guru3D back in October too:
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-ceo-lisa-su-reconfirms-zen-release-in-q1-2017.html
So I think our expectation is, we may ship some production samples in Q4, but the volume launch for desktop will be in Q1, and that's consistent with everything that we've planned into the business.
Problem is people post so many links and garbage from rumor sites that people get confused.

Maybe you´re right, it´s just i´ve been holding on for Zen to be released that i´m getting tired/frustrated of waiting for it... Not to mention that my rig is ancient like you can see in my specs...
If Intel´s current cpus had their prices cut by 20% or more to make room to Kaby Lake i would consider buying an 6600K/6700K andbe happy but those things only drop in price months after new cpus are released...

Never though it, but going AMD
Even for me it costs too much and gains to little to upgrade my 5820k/1070 ITX rig. To get any meaningful performance increase I'd have to spend $1000 on an Intel CPU and another $600 on top of the 1070 costs. With regard to NVIDIA, if I buy a 1080, before it's burned in they'll release the 20 series with performance tweak and price drop. I'm happy with both Intel and Nvidia but I'm getting off the gravy train at this point. I'm going Ryzen and single slot GPU. There are more monitors supporting Freesync now anyway. I want 32" 1440p or 4k with HDR & Freesync for my next monitor.
AMD is really set to score big in the server space with their 32-core Ryzen server proc.
Competition is good. Nvidia will drop prices and Intel is already looking to kill x86. AMD should take the time to get it right. If they do, it's a win for all consumers regardless of which manufacturer you prefer.
If I were AMD, I would subsidize someone optimizing Frostbite and Unreal engine for multiple cores. Makes no sense that gaming still can't utilize the horsepower available in today's multicore desktops.

I just hope they have some very feature rich Mini-ITX boards in x370.

This has been on my big disappointments about AMD boards.
Extremely small amount of choices if any for mini ITX boards.

More or less the same with Intel X99 chipset. There's only one, the ASRock I have but it is FULL featured. I'll be pinning my hopes on ASRock. I won't upgrade until I can do so with the ITX form factor.

Would not consider the ASRock board you have "full" feature as it is dual channel DDR4 not quad. How is the cooler it comes with BTW?
