That's not a secret. Review embargoes are lifted on the day of release, the 19th.

Good value considering it has a half decent cooler with heat pipes.

I think this will be the CPU for the masses. Everyone is going to get one.

Yeah, I think they will see like hotcakes. With delicious creamy chocolate flavor. 6 core for 200 bucks? 8 core for 300 bucks? If there are no nasty surprises they will sell very well indeed.

Mighty good pricing? Seems pretty bad to me

Wonder how much they've improved IPC and single thread performance.

Compared to what? Celerons? This is a 8c/16t chip!

I previously said that I'd skip Zen+ but I'm strangely wanting to buy one of these. The eternal struggle of a PC enthusiast 😉

An unlocked 8 core i7 costs over $400, a Skylake based cpu at that. How is this bad pricing?

Oh my.... This is so cheap and I’m glad to see those bumped up clocks. Maybe push another 100Mhz or so from oc. This will be a good gain in performance with the ram memory speeds compatibility increase.

At least this time around it shouldn't be as difficult for reviewers like yourself. I know reviewers had a hard time with the first Ryzen releases, due to all the BIOS updates, OS patches, and a slew of other products that came rushing their way. I figure this should be a relatively smooth release day.
