The i7 Broadwell-E chips are currently on sale ($350/$500 for 6 cores at least), so the perf/$ comparisons are somewhat in flux.

So this 8 core chip is going to be slightly worse than a 5820k? Was hoping to upgrade to 8 cores but I wouldn't have much reason anymore. Maybe the server chips are worth the wait.
Been using my 5820k for over 2 years now, I'm glad AMD buyers will finally be able to buy purchase the level of performance that has been available for years at the same price as It has been for years.
>>
>>57737615
>How is this company still even around?
early 2010's, they mostly got carried by the bitcoin market and the good will of their fans. also by selling their stuff at meager profit margins to remain somewhat competitive. a lot of their efforts in the past 5 years or so were spent on R&D, to prepare for polaris/vega and zen.

lately, huge ass SoC contracts with console manufacturers and chinese hardware vendors have helped them a lot. in addition, polaris is doing extremely well despite nvidia fanboys trying to convince themselves otherwise.

>What the hell happened to AMD?
a whole bunch of shit

in no particular order: getting way too optimistic and building a bunch of fabs (that are now globalfoundries), spending a fortune to buy out ATI, gambling on parallel computing and losing nearly all their x86 market share, selling APUs that nobody wants, and putting out consistently terrible marketing efforts. the company was steered wrong, pure and simple.

of course, there's the corporate sabotaging by intel, but that's relatively minor in comparison.

8 core, 16 thread. go look at how much the 5960x costs.

if the IPC truly is only 75% of broadwell-e then that's 75% of the perf for a third of the price
>>
>>57738240

I disagree on the marketing bit. Even with the shit hand that they've been given (i.e. the products they have to market ...) they've done a real great job by guerrilla marketing (by which I mean basically lambasting Nvidia and to a lesser extent Intel on twitter and in interviews etc) and stirring up the reddit and the kids on 4chan type of crowds. Everyone seems to love an underdog, and especially when they stoke the 3.5GB memes to boot.
>>
>>57738301
The only thing I can see as a benefit is extra pcie lanes. Still unconfirmed if the $350 chip will have 40 lanez or whatever, or if that is only for the $500 part. Totally underwhelming.
>>
>>57738319
That is only as strong as a 6 core. I.e. a 5820k

>they mostly got carried by the bitcoin market
Bitcoin mining was profitable on GPU's only during the 6xxx era, after that ASIC's hit the market and killed it, Litecoin/scrypt mining only lasted the first few months after Hawaii was launched
>also by selling their stuff at meager profit margins to remain somewhat competitive
The 290X was 700 USD at launch

They did mostly scrap Bulldozer on the HEDT and enthusiast market to develop Zen, but the GPU division hasn't stopped launching products (Fury series is right there) and they just launched new excavator APU's in September
And they are competitive with Intel's offerings in the OEM market
>in no particular order: getting way too optimistic and building a bunch of fabs (that are now globalfoundries)
The fabs were doing well before AMD's CEO back then decided to spin them off and name himself CEO of them
>spending a fortune to buy out ATI
Literally the only market where they are competitive and the only reason they have big OEM contracts right now
>gambling on parallel computing and losing
Zambesi/Bulldozer wasn't intended just as a parallel architecture, at first it was intended as a serial and parallel monster while reducing area as 2006 AMD slides showed, there are even ES samples floating that had a much different silicon than Bulldozer
They scrapped it around 2009 since it didn't deliver in reducing area at all, and then everything became a clusterfuck
>selling APUs that nobody wants
APU's have been successful all around, it's the only product where they compete with Intel and they secured them multi year long semi custom massive contracts

Not that guy but:

>Bitcoin mining was profitable on GPU's only during the 6xxx era

That's still a fairly long time, and a hell of a lot of chips would've been sold.

>The 290X was 700 USD at launch

Conversely, the amount of time that it was anywhere near 700USD was very short.

>but the GPU division hasn't stopped launching products (Fury series is right there)

Which hasn't been competing well, at least in terms of revenue or even average cost per board.

>and they just launched new excavator APU's in September

Which nobody really actually *wants*, and the remainder that do - Aren't paying enough for them to generate a good profit. The same goes for the OEMs that buy them because they're cheaper than intel's CPUs (which really, are APUs also). That cheapness, or more accurately the customer perception of cheapness when it comes to AMD's APUs, translates to a lower price per chip that the OEM is willing to pay, and thus less profit per chip. The volumes might look big, but compared to the ridiculous write-offs on the massive over-stocks of older APUs they've already lost heaps on, and the R&D costs of making the damn things for the little margin they'd make ... Eh, it's not anywhere near the cash cow it was supposed to be.
>>
>>57738833
>That's still a fairly long time, and a hell of a lot of chips would've been sold.
Bitcoin wasn't popular during the 6xxx series, most people didn't trust it at all
I was around back then, a 6990 would pay itself in 3 days, I didn't buy it because I thought it would die out and be replaced by some other coin
>Conversely, the amount of time that it was anywhere near 700USD was very short.
Only due to the 780Ti launch which was priced quite lower than the 290X, meaning the 290X was competitive with Nvidia's
>Which hasn't been competing well, at least in terms of revenue or even average cost per board.
But it has been competing well in revenue and cost m8
>the R&D costs of making the damn things for the little margin they'd make
They're made on a 5 year old 28nm node, with rehashed Bulldozer which has nearly no improvements and with graphics IP derived from the Radeon division
They're exceptionally cheap to make, just like the Polaris 10 dies

It was popular enough that AMD were having supply issues and the prices of the cards were skyrocketing as a result.

Maybe only a few people were into BTC, but they must've been buying 4+ per person. In fact I heard there were some groups that bought dozens for severfarms.

Actually now that I think about it, the shortage continued well into the 7000 series man, what are you talking about? By the time the craze fully ended, the 200 series was almost out.

>>57738910
The point stands that they were only selling it at a *good* margin for a very short period of time, and even then when the 780 Ti came out, the price instantly went to similar, and then quickly fell from there. In other words, the price slid rapidly because it wasn't very competitive at equal pricing, and certainly was nowhere near competitive at its original price.

>>57738910
Lol no?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10613/discrete-desktop-gpu-market-trends-q2-2016-amd-grabs-market-share-but-nvidia-remains-on-top

https://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-market-increased-in-q316-amd-lost-market-share-while-nvidia-ga

AMD have been bleeding market share for ages now - Except in the last year they've been gaining back a bit of what they've lost (this isn't something praiseworthy, it just means that the losses temporarily dipped into 'disastrous' before settling at 'really bad').

And even then in the last quarter they've once again slipped in share - They fell to ~20% market share last year, and even before this quarter where they've started to slip again, they never regained their losses.

But you only need to take a look at the actual revenue charts - Even with less market share, Nvidia was still gaining on AMD. How? The ASP was ridiculously higher than AMD's - In other words, by going with the premium 1070/1080, they were giving loads of low end customers to AMD, only to make a hell of a lot more money by dominating the high end - The advantage is clearly Nvidia's.

I'm talking about the entire cost from day 1.

There would've been significant TDP challenges to deal with, not to mention the cost of developing updates like Steamroller etc etc, all arches which never ended up in a pure CPU form, which means the R&D cost layed squarely on the APUs. And like I said, even with how cheap they were, they massively overestimated demand and lost many millions on unsold stock. That only happens due to incompetence or a bad product.
>>
>>57736807
Broadwell E = $450 to $1800
Zen = $150 to $500

75% performance for 33% of the price, that sounds like a win to me.
>>
>>57739485
>It was popular enough that AMD were having supply issues and the prices of the cards were skyrocketing as a result.
That was during the 290X days, which died out in months since scrypt ASIC's were launched pretty fast
>Maybe only a few people were into BTC, but they must've been buying 4+ per person. In fact I heard there were some groups that bought dozens for severfarms.
You don't know jack shit at all, the people that actually splurged in 290X bought dozens at a minimum
>Actually now that I think about it, the shortage continued well into the 7000 series man, what are you talking about? By the time the craze fully ended, the 200 series was almost out.
There weren't massive shortages during the 6xxx and 7xxx days, the real shortages were during the 290X launch
By the time the 7950 was launched ASIC's had dominated the market
>The point stands that they were only selling it at a *good* margin for a very short period of time, and even then when the 780 Ti came out, the price instantly went to similar, and then quickly fell from there.

The original price was due to literally no competition at it's performance bracket until the 780Ti was launched
>AMD have been bleeding market share for ages now - Except in the last year they've been gaining back a bit of what they've lost (this isn't something praiseworthy, it just means that the losses temporarily dipped into 'disastrous' before settling at 'really bad').
During the Kepler days they were getting marketshare back
>>57739536
>I'm talking about the entire cost from day 1.
Most R&D had already been covered by older releases, they also bear a fraction of R&D cost compared to Intel's since they don't have their own fabs

>Bitcoin wasn't popular during the 6xxx series, most people didn't trust it at all

I bought a 6950 and launch, the one with the "cut corners" on the PCIE connector, that could be flashed to 6970.

4 months later I was unfortunately out of job, and I made a modest living out of mining for half a year. If I didn't need to cash in every 3-4 weeks, I'd be swimming in dough today (made 4-5 BTC a day back then).

When the ASICs came out, I preordered one for something like $200, it cost $300 when they finally released it, and it was already completely fucking useless by the time they shipped it. Made something like 0.01 BTC a night. Luckily, I managed to sell it for $350 two weeks later, so I made more money off of it that way than actual mining. I feel kind of sad for the poor sap who bought it... and more sad for the people who bought them for $400 and $450 a month later (when the difficulty already quadrupled and they made even less money).

The engineers working on bulldozer were extremely conservative with the numbers they put out. Marketing and the really dumb fanboys pushed the dumb ideal of it being a godly chip.

Fury x was literally never said by AMD to be the overclockers dream.

480 was also never shown to beat 1070. 2x 480s were shown to beat a 1080 in aots, though.

At equal clocks Summit Ridge matches comparable 8 core/16t Broadwell-E in Blender.
SiSoft Sandra results look pretty good too.

What AMD claimed is a 40% uplift in IPC over Excavator, and they later stated that Zen cores have the same energy per clock as Excavator.
A look over at the Anandtech bench tool will show a binned Carrizo(Excavator) Athlon vs an i5 2500k
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1684?vs=288

The Athlon here doesn't have L3, so performance would be marginally higher, but this is the best baseline to look at. In some metrics Excavator is only 15-20% behind Sandy Bridge with pretty close clocks. Other metrics, which tend to be FPU heavy, its further behind as expected because of the narrow FlexFPU.

An average 40% uplift would put Zen about on par with Sandy Bridge in some things, and around Ivy Bridge to Haswell in other metrics. Obviously the example we see in the Blender demo is a best case scenario for the arch. Also likely is that AMD's arch is displaying slightly higher multicore scaling, or slightly higher SMT throughput vs intel's arch. IPC in this workload still could be lower, but the combined throughput of all cores when utilized makes up for it.

On the clock scaling side of things, we know that the Excavator module in Carrizo has this power curve:

XVR with AVFS
3700mhz: 22.5w~
3500mhz: 16w~
3150mhz: 10w~
2800mhz: 7w~
2450mhz: >5w~
2100mhz: 3w~
1750mhz: >2.5w~

10w per core for 3.15ghz.
Not too long ago the ID string for an OEM Summit Ridge sample leaked online. Some OEMs contacted Dresdenboy and confirmed it as authentic. The string shows a 3.2ghz base clock with a 3.5ghz turbo.
8 cores at 10w per core +15w for uncore works out to 95w very nicely.

Stop falling for fanboy hype.
This is the most realistic and factual post on Zen you're going to see on this board until NDA is up and reviews come out.

Those results are exactly in line with an underclocked i7-6800K, NOT the 6850K or the 6900K. In fact, if you look up the average time it takes for the 6800K, you'll note that it's a few seconds faster than the time noted in the demo.

I bet you also think that Cinebench offers a legitimate comparison of core architectures
>>
>>57743697
>At equal clocks Summit Ridge matches comparable 8 core/16t Broadwell-E in Blender.
No it doesn't. That demo was faked, they either turned off two cores on the 6900K or they flat out lied and used a 6800K. Anyone with a 6800K can vouch that the stock six-core Broadwell-E is significantly faster than either of the times shown here.
>>
>>57743920
Stop pulling things out of your ass.
The demo was heavily scrutinized months ago when it was relevant, and no one found anything. They even released the render scene they used, and people scoured through the code of their Blender builds. The only tiny bit of controversy that emerged was one tech illiterate retard on Twitter finding an L1 cache loop and thinking that it was a sign of AMD cheating. Blender themselves came out and stated that this is just how the program operates.
It was 8c/16t Summit ridge at 3ghz vs 8c/16t Broadwell-E at 3ghz.

You're a delusional shitposting fanboy desperate to fit your underage /v/ tier console war narrative.
>>
>>57743985
>The demo was heavily scrutinized months ago when it was relevant
No it fucking wasn't
too many journalists were too busy sucking off Lisa Su's dick to question their results. Meanwhile, the Broadwell-E community were scratching their heads wondering why the "downclocked" 6900K took so fucking long. The only way those times made sense if if the 6900K in the demo had two cores turned off to make it into a 6800K with lower clocks, and even then the 6800K doesn't take that fucking long to finish the benchmark.

People should be buying the 6850K because they need the extra cores, because when it comes to real world usage , the extra cores end up not making any difference.

No one is going to buy Zen if its only strong point is multi threaded shit and failing at the things people will do it with everyday , like game with it.

once the lite coin happened, you couldn't get an amd gpu for a good 6 months without severe price gouging.

as for mining,

when polaris came out, it allowed mining on the gpu to be profitable for a small time.

Its all about gpu power and gpu power use, and amd has a range of 90-160 watt for polaris 480's

On the amd ceo, before he went to GF he signed a retarded contract with them... he fucked amd harder than anyone/anything else ever has.

as for buying ati, it gave them gpu tech, which they integrated on the cpu... most of us have discrete gpus, and turn our noses up at apus, but fuck me, being able to dump a cpu into a motherboard and it works does wonders for low end users, and seeing its usually twice the speed of intel until intel decided to dump dram on the cpu for it, Id say its a success.

if they put 1-2gb of hbm on the cpu, you will see a huge performance across the board increase for amd, low end laptops will never be the same again.

>>57738833
little brother bought one day 1 and got it for 650.

as for gpu not competing... has there been a whole lot of need? I mean look at it this way, look at a 290x and look where it lands today

also, remember fury got fucked over so god damn hard due to the 20nm process falling though and caused amd to just buy out the contract. the furry competes, but due to the larger process, it doesn't compete well (not to mention nvidia stockpiling failed titan x'es only to sell them the moment amd made the announcement for the same price. grate marketing on nvidias part but dick move all around)

and those write offs are all thanks to the prior shit bag ceo and retarded contract with gf

there is a good chance, unless they stated otherwise, that zen+ will fit into a zen socket, so upgrade path for one.

For me, I have considered intel for a long time and some deals, if they were within 400 miles I would take them, but anymore, the wait is also bringing the prices for parts i'm going to get with it down too so i can justify the 1tb ssd, and possibly a 500gb ssd boot for the other oses in the same cost as a 500gb ssd use to be when i considered intel.

my computer is good enough to not require an upgrade, so i'm lucky there, but fuck me would an upgrade feel damn good right now.

>>57744566
now have windows update start in the background, and take out an entire core, or an automated process startup that is cpu heavy.

I know have your web browser shit itself and damned several cores worth of processing power till it un fucks itself.

This is where more then 4 cores comes into play at least on the gaming side of things, and with modern apis, all cores are more efficiently used so more cores does offer better performance.

>There weren't massive shortages during the 6xxx and 7xxx days, the real shortages were during the 290X launch
By the time the 7950 was launched ASIC's had dominated the market

Wth are you talking about? Shortages were rife during the middle/later half of the 7000 series.

Look - Bottom line is that there was a very substantial period of time (6000 series to 200 series) where the sales of AMD cards were heavily boosted by coin mining (bitcoin or litecoin or otherwise). That type of random boon is unlikely to happen again, and inflates sales figures during that time. In other words, AMD got lucky.

>the people that actually splurged in 290X bought dozens at a minimum

You're making my damn point.

You said BTC wasn't popular - Granted, only a small proportion of people were into it, but as you've just reinforced, the people that were into it did buy many cards. Again, this was a once in a lifetime random lucky windfall boon for AMD.

>>57739596

Why cherry pick the original price? The 290x was out for such a ridiculously tiny period of time before the 780 Ti came out that the sales figures would've been terrible - Who was going to buy a 290x before waiting for the 780 Ti to come out? Who would be stupid enough to not wait for comparative reviews? ... Only the people who would've bought a 290x regardless of whether it was better or worse. Fanboys in other words.

What's far more significant is the rapid price collapse for the 99% of its lifetime after the 780 Ti came out. That shows it couldn't compete at all.

>During the Kepler days they were getting marketshare back

Uhh, no? It was 37.8% at Q1 2012, at Kepler release, and 35% at Q1 2014, just before the 900 series hit, which demolished AMD's sales overnight.
>>
>>57739596

>Most R&D had already been covered by older releases, they also bear a fraction of R&D cost compared to Intel's since they don't have their own fabs

For the first gen or two of the APUs, maybe. They still had to make everything work in one chip with a TDP far less than their combined components. And from there they were developing newer arches. Also: Maybe the initial outlay would've been less because they were fabless, but Intel makes ridiculously large returns on those fabs, even with the initial costs. That's why their chips sell for such a large premium, and in such large volume. It's also why, as I keep mentioning, AMD keep over-estimating demand and writing down the value of their backlog of APU stocks ...

>Most power-related IP is applied as well in the Radeon division

You misunderstand. I mean the issue is with getting a >60W CPU and a >60W GPU, and somehow making a <90W APU out of it without destroying performance. The end result is the top of the line chips are lacklustre.
>>
>>57736807
He has no source, in addition it wouldn't matter, AMD will still more than likely sell more cores for less than intel
>>
>>57745980

I agree that it's not bad at all to have a cheap choice for basic builds with an integrated GPU - The thing is that Intel also do these APU chips. The entire i3 lineup is basically APUs.

It's only when you look at the chips that are below all of intel's in cost that AMD have something that beats Intel (if only through lack of competition) and those are so low in cost and the market would be so low in volume AMD couldn't be making significant money off them. Just like the consoles.


>as for gpu not competing... has there been a whole lot of need?

... Are you saying picking the higher performing GPU doesn't make sense? That isn't a good thing to do? ... Lol wat.

The Fury didn't compete not just because of the silicon, but because the Arch, like all of the preceding arches, was ridiculously power inefficient. That's why it needed its own bundled cooler, and that's why it needed HBM memory (which is much more power efficient) - And yet still had issues even with that assistance.

As for the write offs - No, the CEO didn't personally predict sales figures, their marketing etc etc teams would've done that. And the contract with GF might've been retarded in other ways, but ultimately only AMD is responsible for picking what amount of APU chips to order, and they did so very poorly.

on the write off, the old ceo signed a deal where amd would ALWAYS buy at least X number of chips regardless of demand.

again, look where the 290x lands today on charts, the 290x is routinely above a 780ti, and when used in a modern apu, above a 980, and there was one i believe it was also above a 980ti. then the fury and fury x that the rest of what the gap in price was, with the fury x in some benches being above a 1070

you either put out mass market cards like the 460-480 and 1060 or you go for a very small portion of buyers like the 1070 or 1080. with amd going for hbm2 for their gpus, why not wait and make damn sure its good opposed to rushing it like nvidia did? they got mass market, they have driver team working on shit which further increases all cards performance. Its hard to say going after the high end when you can secure a strong base as being worth it.

if this is true, what exact intel model would be the equivalent to the 350 zen one? and for what price?
i7-6700? i7-6700k?
>>
>>57755428

The people who actually know aren't saying shit. Far, far too many internet experts have declared Zen a failure because they cannot into understanding what AMD has actually claimed.

The best one is AMD have stated +40% IPC over exavator. So naturally the internet used the latest athlon as a benchline (which AMD didn't) and then declared it fail because who the fuck cares about an L3 cache?

as fast as a 10 core Sandy Bridge @ 2.8Ghz.
if it's the 8 core Zen it's pretty good depending on clock rates.
If it's a 10 core Zen it's anyones guess.
If it's a 12 core Zen AMD is bankrupt and finished

I'm not sure tbqh. A quite reputable german website claimed it was the 3. 2ghz 8core. The website I got the image from said it can't be known. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>57756490
At 3.5GHz it would be exactly the same IPC as Sandy Bridge
At 3.2Ghz it would be 9% more IPC than Sandy Bridge
At 3Ghz it would be 16.6% more IPC than Sandy Bridge
At 2.8GHz it would be 25% more IPC than Sandy Bridge

They just compete with Intel hopefully getting the prices right.

Yeah I'm getting that. And I know the 8core zen has a base clock of 3.2ghz and boost of 3.5ghz according to guru3d.
It's confusing to wrap my mind about the german article bc they mention another thing when amd run a blender render comparison between a 6900k vs 8core zen, both clocked at 3ghz. The Zen was claimed to be faster but no numbers or proof. The authors requested details three days ago.
W/e I don't rly care looking that shit up wasn't that entertaining as I thought. I'm out.
>>
>>57756690
silence!

peasant.
>>
>>57756832

>The Zen was claimed to be faster but no numbers or proof.

It was from a test AMD ran on stage - the zen chip beat the 6900k by a second or so rendering an image of the zen logo (that little artistic swirl). There was no hard information given about the systems beyond both chips being 3ghz and the rest of the setup "being identical". Naturally we also have no idea if the build of blender AMD used has been tweaked or not.
>>
>>57756887
Well then it's fucking nothing.
>>
>>57756935

Even if AMD did stack the deck against intel catching up to a 6900k is no easy task.

75% of 1 single core perf × 8 cores = 6 cores worth of perf

Which is why AMD's 8c / 16t is competing against Intel's 6c / 12t.

Looks like they'll be offering a an i7 3770K on a modern platform for $150, which is cheaper than a used 3770K, currently running about $220

IPC does not fluctuate with clock speed.
You have absolutely no idea what you're even saying.

>>57757394
No. Blender has had the ability to use AVX for years, and it wasn't omitted from the Blender demo AMD showed.

>>57757982
Stop desperately grasping at straws, you fanboy child.

when are we getting more competition in the CPU/GPU brands?

I love the poopflinging of two sides sucking their brand creators dicks, but it would be much better if there was more, imagine if Voodoo was still here, they'd problably have a nickname of Doodoo and GPU threads on /g/ wouldn't exist because all they would be is shitposting.
>>
>>57736807
Pretty sure AMDs marketing team isnt made up of fan boys retard.
>>
The execution engine is nearly identical to haswell. it has a few extra FPU ports. its L1 instruction cache is bigger. its L3 cache is a lazy victim cache and will probably be shittier. communication between the multiple L3 cache modules will be slow compared to intel.

otherwise there are very few architectural differences. the blender demo was more than likely a fair demonstration of its general IPC.

the big unknown is still clock speeds and i'm not optimistic given how dogshit 14LPP is. However Broadwell-E also clocked like horseshit so the difference may not be all that massive afterall. It'll probably end up a good buy, that is until Intel finally releases Skylake-E, which will destroy it.

AMD already have new tech process planned for future, too. Lets hope it wont be A10 shitty APU's analogue.

Bulldozer was good back then.
>>
>>57740551
>>
>>57763215
Yeah the 7nm. Which is actually closer to 10nm. And will probably be late and shit, knowing GloFo.

There might be some decent optimizations of the 14nm (or 20nm rather, since that's what 14LPP really is) by the time Zen+ is released, but by then Intel will be on Cannonlake, in fact they might even have a brand new architecture.

being close to the E5-2630v4 would be pretty nice if it overclocks ok

gaymers might not like it but that'd be solid for creative work

if it delivers a lot of pcie lanes on the cheap it may well find love among the gpu-heavy crowd like deep learning and video production
>>
>>57741086
Can tell you that the xfx gtr (assume the 470 go is the same if not better) runs cool and relatively quiet so long as it has plenty of air being fed to it. Dont really hear it till you break 65% fan speed.
>>
>>57768816
Im a bit worried AMD may jew us on the pcie lanes on the $350 sr7. What could command a $150 difference between the two sr7's?
>>
>>57769078
This
Also the whole clocked to 3ghz 6900k vs zen blender thing was a way to push prices imo.
>>
>>57769078
Yeah I hope they don't cuck the lower models too much, a full set of pcie lanes could find them a lot of fans and finding a niche like that might be more valuable than just forcing everyone to buy the expensive part/continue buying intel

I wonder what goes into that $150 price difference, could just be the top binning with best clocks and a shitty yield though? Guess we'll find out in a couple weeks
>>
>>57769078
I wouldn't worry too much, few people really "need" all those lanes, and the ones that do wouldn't mind paying extra when you compare prices vs Intel's 40 lane offerings.

>anally raped at every price point in the GPU market by Nvidia

Not really. The 280x and the 380 are much better and cheaper than the 1050ti.

And the 480 is cheaper than the 1060 with similar results in most games.

Low and mid end is all amd. Nvidia is for higher end.

>>57770638
False
>>

Maybe if you buy used. Personally I'd say the best used deal is the 380x. It's selling for about the same price as the 380. 280x is too hot
>>
>>57770701
Prove it faggot
There is substantial evidence to suggest that Summit Ridge isn't twice as powerful as Piledriver, doesn't have the same single-threaded performance of Haswell (or even Ivy Bridge), and can't reach high frequencies for shit. The SR7 version can't even compete with a six-core Broadwell-E, so they're pricing it under the i7-6850K because they know it's going to be shit.
