Oh I like the look of those hexa cores and the pricing is very nice!
I'm kind of surprised they have 2+2... not sure why they need that.

I can't wait the dual core Ryzen 2C/4T configured 1+1 with 16 MB L3 cache

Just wow.

The entire Ryzen lineup just seems underwhelming. Probably my fault for wanting more. They're good but I wanted fantastic.

Really hope those numbers are wrong. The ones with fewer cores were supposed to have much higher clocks, not still be crappier than an i5...

Very interesting 2+2 configs for the Quads and 3+3 for the hexes. Hmm didn't Intel do a similar configuration back when the Core 2 Quads were brand new? Minus the CCX stuff that the Ryzen CPUs have of course. Makes me wonder how well the 4c/8t Ryzen CPUs will perform against the 7700K respectively because they have similar Core and thread specs.

Kinda disappointing that they went with 2 ccx, but understandable. After all, this way they can convert bad Ryzen 7 chips into Ryzen 5. This absolutely makes sense, since they need money and just throwing away things that can be sold is stupid. Also with pricing of those chips they can have bigger impact on the market and actually force the SW developers to specifically code for Ryzen architecture.
In the end, it will depend on the benchmarks, and especially gaming benchmarks, as these CPUs will hardly be bought for a workstation.

AMD trying to remove themselves gradually from the cpu trade? They trying to create the same experience across all cpus concept? Can understand the whole modular concept for ease of scalability. Offering only defective dies for quads when that is the base building block smacks of how serious their cash flow situation is; waste not, want not.
Whole situation reminds me of when it was found out that Oldsmobile engines where used in Chevrolets. Why Olds died out; never recovered. Software cannot cure this. What's the saying, "If you do not know what you are talking about, dazzle them with bull sh|t." That is what this infinity fabric brings to mind. They could not make the cpu work as intended, so...
