Anyone else waiting for zen?
If nothing else it should drop the price of the current-gen CPUs right?
I'm still using a Q6660 but it's starting to show its age.

you can swap Q6660 for x5470 and be comfy again
Waiting for those sweet ass fx 8350 or 8370 price cuts.
Kinda wish they would drop a couple of final am1 cpus before zen hits but I'm not holding my breath. Love my Athlon 5350...for the price (30$) it's amazing and it would be nice for a final poor fag upgrade/overclock project.
But since that'll never fuckin happen I'll just wait on the afore mentioned price cuts.

I'm still waiting for desktop Bristol Ridge, so I buy it now and upgrade to a 6-core/12-thread or 8-core/16-threads Zen APU with the graphics performance of a 260x later.
I'm guessing they might not release such a thing ever so I'll have to wait until like march of 2017.

I don't think its worth the 60 dollars.

8 CORES YEAAAA
>slower than 2 Intel cores.
Just waiting until AMD goes bankrupt.

DOESN'T MATTER
MOAR CORES
>Just waiting until AMD goes bankrupt.
AMD stock has been rising 200% this year, if anything they are getting richer.
Zen pls come soon
Surprisingly, I don't wait for any processor.
I mostly use my laptop with mobile i5(2 cores, 4 threads) at home and 3770 at work and hardly can tell the difference aside slightly more sluggish indexing and such.
For gaming, maybe?
>still on 775

why wait
I'm on 775 with a Q9400 and it's really time to upgrade. It's still going strong, but I'd like an i series.
Funny enough, when I was a gaymer, it was fine and ran all stuff fine, but the more I got into programming, virtual machines, rendering, etc. It really showed it's age.
Can't wait for price drop... It can't even play 4K videos.

I have yet to see 2 Intel cores doing something faster then 8 AMD ones that cost the same $$$.
Instead I keep seeing shitty software where it's rare to see anything use more then 4 at one time, while the rest of the cores do jack shit.
