I'm curious to know the following from /g/

1. What is your current main desktop CPU
2. Approximately when do you plan to upgrade?
3. Will you consider AMD if the price/performance is right?

- Only have a chassis *ft03 mini*
- Sometime soon
- Been waiting for ryzen to drop which is today out of nowhere

As soon as Ryzen is available in Europe at msrp
>1. What is your current main desktop CPU
2. Approximately when do you plan to upgrade?
>Will you consider AMD if the price/performance is right?
I won't even consider Intel. I need at least 6 cores and 12 threads and I don't want to spend $800 for a 6850k and an expensive 2011 motherboard.

I'll probably get the 1700x, maybe 1700 if it overclocks well with an NH D15 (at least 4.4GHz).

phenom II 1100t

yes I will be upgrading sometime this year with AMD
>>
>>59074609
Phenom II, can't remember which exactly but I can't check right now.
Gonna be buying a 1600X during black friday sales later this year.

I'm gonna be moving in a few months so I'm putting my money towards that. As you can probably tell, I need to replace my whole rig so it'll be a little costly.

2-3 years, literally no reason to upgrade before then when the 4790k is still "competitive" with current gen CPU's.
My CPU before the 4790k was a 1090t. I have no aversion to AMD.

2. Approximately when do you plan to upgrade?
late April, avoid early adopter tax, wait for the price wars.
3. Will you consider AMD if the price/performance is right?
I will update to an 1700X.

I had a X3 720BE unlocked to an x4 but was a horrible unstable thing beyond 3.2ghz, sold it and bought an FX 4100 that lasted almost 4 months since i sold it and bought the 8320 for pennies (FX 4100 was $80 usd, sold it for $75 and bought the 8320 on a flash sale for $90 on a bankrupt store in mexico)

I will sold my FX 8320 with his 12gb of ram and the motherboard for the price of an B350 motherboard.

>>59074609
I'm sorry, but did Intel already lose? Oh, that’s right. Ryzen isn't even out yet. In fact, it’s only coming out in a week. Does having more or less the same performance as a chip that's as half as expensive count as a loss? Is that what you’re saying? Because if you’re saying that I can assure you that you’re wrong. Why would you make this topic when the real benchmarks aren't out? Intel are still R&D right now and they have been the best microprocessor manufacturers in the industry for how many years now? They’re against one of the worst company in the industry who just happen to have a lead because they’re feeding off the energy of having hired Jim Keller. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Intel own the best fabs, they increased their IPC by 5% last year and would of continued if AMD fanboys didn't shill so much. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you’re going to be embarrassed when Intel releases decently priced CPUs and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, AMD did not say anything about the R5 where the real market really is. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I’m fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you’re the only guy making all these anti-Intel topics because you’re a faggot hater who doesn’t like Intel because they’re good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking companies on the board, like I give a fuck. It’s so easy to spot out your threads now, you’re a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don’t you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That’s just you, you’re always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

I'll be upgrading to coffee lake whenever that comes out probably.

I have no brand loyalty but AMD doesn't offer anything in the performance bracket I need.

If/when I get a new mobo thats when ill consider the switch but until then it's off the table for me. Unless ryzen absolutely blows me away.

In a couple months if things shake out nicely. I want to see more benchmarks, see if used prices of Intel 6Cs go down maybe.

>3. Will you consider AMD if the price/performance is right?
Yes. I will likely either go for broke and get a 1800X/1700X and slide this to my second computer or I'll update that aging Core 2 machine to a cheap Ryzen. Not sure depends on how well my software will respond to the cores. Photoshop/Lightroom/Premiere in particular.

I also am thinking about redoing my storage, I want some m.2 nvme cards for system/software but I want them to fully max the lanes dedicated so either way I'm waiting this one out for a bit but looking forward to what comes.

>6700k not overclocked yet
>when Intel releases a new architecture
>yes of course. Ryzen looks like it should shape up to be a success. The competition should force Intel to play their hand and release something in the next 4 years which is when I hope to upgrade.

Right now my current upgrade path will be a good aio water cooler for overclocking, then an nvme boot drive and tb SSD storage. Doubt I'm gonna have use for 32gb of ram.

2. Whenever I have excess cash/hopefully a couple months
3. Gonna get the 1700X because I wanna be able to stream and produce without lag (in the multi/streaming demos the 7700K fails)
I also know that in in 2 years 6-cores are becoming the standard
Probably dodged a bullet cos I was looking to get the free M.2 SSD deal with 7700K+MSI mobo, but yeah 4% increase in performance over last gen, combined with intel's monopoly, puts me off of inferior 4 cores, taking into account intel's latest 4 core performance vs. even the 6800k which is 20% better in warhammer total war, a game that actually tests your CPU with shit loads of rendering

Tax returns, savings, and pell grant (kek) should hopefully cover everything for my first build.

I want to game, edit videos, stream, and 3d render shit.
If ryzen's 8 core chip will accomplish the same task at a lower clock compared with a higher clocked kabylake but at only 4 cores, then the choice is obvious.

For poorfags, here's the price points for the Ryzen R3 and R5 processors.

http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1800x-1700x-official-launch/?utm_source=wccftech&utm_medium=related

$100 - $150 for 4c/4t Ryzen
$150 - $200 for 4c/8t Ryzen
$200 - $250 for 6c/12t Ryzen
>>
1. i7 920

2. When the 1600X sells for about 250€ or the 1700X for about 350€. When a decent and proven Motherboard sells for less than 100€. The 1700X is 480€ right now. Fuck that.

3. If the price/performance is right I will exclusively consider AMD.

FX8350 / 24 GB DDR3 / GTX 780 on one machine, FX8370e / 32 GB DDR3 / GTX 970 on another. Both multi-boot w/ 3 SSDs in each + HDD mass storage, several VMs available depending on which base OS I boot into.

Probably be in the market for good budget performance in 2019 or 2020. Might even wait until 2021. Will be keeping an eye on tech & market price closely starting in 2019 and will pull the trigger when I think best value is available in that time frame.

I'll be buying new monitors before I replace current machines. Well, might just retire/repurpose them rather than get rid of them ... they'll have substantial power for many uses into 2025 and beyond.

Whenever 1600x <-> 1500 is released. Don't need 8/16 and would rather get the better overclocker on paper. I just hope that the motherboard I have in mind (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-b350-tomahawk-amd-b350-s-am4-ddr4-sata3-m2-(pcie)-2-way-crossfire-realtek-lan-usb-31-gen1-aplusc) remains at £110 and isn't shit at overclocking. Looks like 6+1/7 power phases, if someone else wants to help me out here, which should be "ok". I know it supports up to 3200MHz RAM and the "potential" to SLI/Crossmeme even though I doubt I ever will. Ideally the combo will cost me £350 or so.

I feel like R7 costs too much for what I want since I would honestly never use that many cores, I feel like R5 is the way to go without killing myself waiting for R3 and the 1400x. If the 7700k crashes into the ground price wise I might consider it assuming faster clockspeeds = better gaming, feels a lot like giving your soul to the devil though.

Also hoping that DDR4 comes down in price although everything else looks to it going up.

As soon as possible, I've been saving for a new Ryzen based system for a while. Whenever they release their quad core models.

3:
Yes, I always try and support AMD, which has been fucking awful the past decade-ish, it's a relief to finally be able to support a company that might not be making the best shit (kind of a draw for 1/3 the price so meh) but certainly competitive shit.

when ryzen gets here

it's over 50% of sandy=>upgrade
it's not flimsy, luckluster quad we see every year =>upgrade
it has potential longevity of sandy due to strong 8 cores=>upgrade

Only thing i'm slightly disappointed is XFR, I thought it would go much higher, but it's not evening yet, some reviewer will push it to the limit next week.
Only thing left to see is how FP and Integer stacks up to stock 7700k in games.

I personally like sticking to the 300 range for CPUs, main problem is that saved extra $100 while waiting for R5 to get a R7 would likely be lost due to price gouge on CPU, mobo costs and RAM, if Ryzen sells like hot cakes.

Idunno, most vidya and applications run great with my 1070. Maybe in a year or two? Some processor intensive games do show that it is getting stressed but otherwise it works just fine.
