I don't see how they can possibly recover. I think this was their last shot.

My take is they'll just slowly wither until one of the big most relevant players like Samsung or Qualcomm decides to buy them out.

Despite problems ryzen is a good competition an probably will yield good mobile and server chips.

It still looks like a very compelling offer for workstations, pretty much matching the 6900k at half the price.

But for gaming it's pretty disappointing considering the 7700k exists.

The R7 1700 has a lot of potential. The 1700x and 1800x aren't for gaymen (pic proofs this) and are for workstation use, with the 1700x compareable to the i7 6850, and the 1800x to the i7 6900

AMD says that a lot of the games are using less than optimal code paths and they're working with the game devs to address the problems with the unusual results. If the results for the various other applications are to be believed then ryzen should be pretty close to the i7 8 cores at least if not better so there's something else going on here.

I don't even know what that means though. At a higher level for game programming you definitely aren't writing code to favor some certain CPU. Unless it is the case that engines like Unreal, Unity, Cry, Source, etc are somehow Intel biased under the hood its not going to bring the collective performance of games along with it.
>>
>>59212141
This isn't a typical result though based on the benchmark's I've seen. Generally the 7700k out-performs the 1800x and 6900k by a sizeable amount in gaming. As a gaming sku the 1800x isn't very compelling.

You must not be a programmer. It's not about compiling the linux kernel. It's about compilation speed in general. Ryzen is one hell of a programmer's workstation CPU.

If AMD improves the AVX pipeline to be dual-issue like KabyLake processors and they increase the PCIe channels and add quad-channel memory for Zen+, they'll be fine.

As it stands, they're still quite competitive.

Apparently there's something special about the way AMD implemented SMT

from Tom's Hardware
>We come away from today's coverage with a number of questions that couldn't be answered in time for the launch. For instance, we discovered Ryzen's tendency to perform better in games with SMT disabled. Could this be a scheduling issue that might be fixed later? AMD did respond to our concerns, reminding us that Ryzen's implementation is unique, meaning most game engines don't use if efficiently yet. Importantly, the company told us that it doesn’t believe the SMT hiccup occurs at the operating system level, so a software fix could fix performance issues in many titles. At least one game developer (Oxide) stepped forward to back those claims. However, you run the risk that other devs don't spend time updating existing titles.

I don't care that it loses to the 7700k, but it gets BTFO by the 6900k which Ryzen was supposed to be neck and neck with, what happened to that?

How does the 6900k get 10-20%+ better performance? It has 2-3% faster IPC, but it's also lower clocked, yet in almost all benchmarks, gaming and non-gaming, it leads by a significant margin.

Also, ryzen overclocks terribly if at all. I'm disappointed.

"AMD suggested that we test the cpu's with a gpu bottleneck" - Gamers Nexus.

When there were gaming workloads, AMD inflated their numbers by doing a few things:
In the Sniper Elite demo, AMD frequently looked at the skybox when reloading, and often kept more of the skybox in the frustum than on the side-by-side Intel processor. A skybox has no geometry, which is what loads a CPU with draw calls, and so it’ll inflate the framerate by nature of testing with chaotically conducted methodology. As for the Battlefield 1 benchmarks, AMD also conducted using chaotic methods wherein the AMD CPU would zoom / look at different intervals than the Intel CPU, making it effectively impossible to compare the two head-to-head.
And, most importantly, all of these demos were run at 4K resolution. That creates a GPU bottleneck, meaning we are no longer observing true CPU performance. The analog would be to benchmark all GPUs at 720p, then declare they are equal (by way of tester-created CPU bottlenecks). There’s an argument to be made that low-end performance doesn’t matter if you’re stuck on the GPU, but that’s a bad argument: You don’t buy a worse-performing product for more money, especially when GPU upgrades will eventually out those limitations as bottlenecks external to the CPU vanish.

What other explanation is there? I was expecting rzyen to be identical to the 6900k in performance, but it can't even come close to it in most benchmarks which simply doesn't make sense. I thought I would be getting a 6900k for $400, not a 4960x.

400MHz on 8 cores is a massive difference. I was expecting the 1800x to reach 4.2 - 4.3GHz easily on a good motherboard and cooling, but people are struggling to reach 4GHz and it seems like there's no difference between the 1700, 1700x and 1800x.
>>
>>59215279
> The analog would be to benchmark all GPUs at 720p, then declare they are equal
It is a valid way of testing them IF we're not going to test a VRAM. That will actually show the power of a chip without making it choke on a 4K.
I may agree it's probably irrelevant to a consumer.

>Also I don't understand. Do AMD imply that their 4C 8T CPUs aren't even near Intels counterpart if they have to make a 8C and 16T compete against it?
The only reason the 1800X loses against the 7700K is clocks, and it clocks higher than Intel's own 8 core the 6900K
If the 6 and 4 cores can clock higher then they will be close or even beating the 7700K, but we have no idea if they will clock well, or even any better than the 1800X
>>59213763
>specially knowing that Intel is a VERY BIG company with a lot of money and can easily lower prices to cut of any profit

4/8 is the sweet spot for gamers and the desktop and it will be the sweet spot for at least 10 years. There is a chance GPUs will be even more important.
That means there is a chance CPU threads will be even LESS important.

In fact that is EXACTLY what Vulkan et al are doing. While they claim to allow more CPU cores, in reality they offload even more stuff from the CPUs and into the GPU logic. This is because the greatest contribution they offered was the batch scripting of GPUs, and NOT the CPU multithreading.

>>
>>59217256
It doesn't matter how they call it. Mantle/Vulkan/nuOpenGL/nuDirect3D, they all offload a great deal by sending batch commands to the GPU instead of only detailed commands.

I'm actually FUCKING surprised it took them up to ~2014 to realize that. If you understand how it works, you realize first thing and it would be an amazing boost. Second thing you realize is "wait, why the fuck didn't they think of that in 1992?".

frankly, it's mostly due to shit developers, if ryzen gets popular enough or if intel adds moar coars for the mainstream or if consoles get 8c/16t cpus, then it will change.
remember, i5s used to be the gaming sweet spot. Nothing used more than 4 threads, until 8 thread consoles appeared. Now 8 threads is the sweet spot.
but other than that you're partially right on the GPU thing. But the way it is now it's really shit and not going to do more than it does now.
While GPUs may be good at number crunching they're shit at logic and branching.
Only hope is if GPUs switch to something like xeon phi where it has lots of small CPU cores or if APUs become popular and AMD somehow implements a solution where a CPU can offload work to the GPU in under 100ns.

If they knew how to shill like Intel, they would also start with a 4c/8t chip, they would bin it well, and do well at most benchmarks /g/ and most other people on the desktop want to see.
4c/8t just works amazingly for 90% of the stuff we need every day, and with GPUs offloading even more stuff from the CPU there is a chance that might become stronger!
>>
>>59217500
That can be a good start, but most of the time it takes TIME to regroup from a nuking, AND in this case it might be DESIGN that fuck it up, because you have to FIRST design the 4c/8t to be out in the market like Intel is doing in order to shill the way Intel is shilling with benchmarks
(first on gaming of course with 7700K and the like and much later with the -E models).
>>
There is absolutely no way 4c/8t Ryzen will perform any better in games than 8c/16t since Ryzen 7 1800X is already hitting the hard cap of clocks on the 14nm LPP process AMD is using.
>>
>>59217507
Well I don't doubt that AMD fumbled a little here but I think they actually planned this somewhat, using the R7s as a test run for everything else since they target a smaller portion of the market. The people that would mainly buy an R7 are enthusiasts also, basically people that are more likely to forgive a few glitches in the beginning and even apply BIOS updates and patches, as long as they get the hardware right away. The average consumer who probably buys a cheaper hardware might be less forgiving if their computer didn't work properly out of the box.

I know you people on /v/ like to make your judgements extremely fast, but let's wait until we get some post-release BIOS:es and those promised microcode improvements.

That is some next level damage control. AYYMDfags desperately grasping at straws at this point.

Anyone feel like the goalposts have gone flying?

>"Inb4 Ivy Bridge haha stupid AMD..."
>"Lel, AMD, won't even reach Haswell another FX flop, FAIL!"
>"I mean, Broadwell is like, what 3 years ago? Pfft"
>"Kaby Lake is the golden standard for muh gaymen, specifically the 7700k. If the 8 core workstation can't beat that clock-for-clock, what's the point? No, I won't be buying a 6900k for gaymen, that's just stupid."

Goalposts are for those with mental fortitude.
For everyone else, getting caught up in the hype is only natural, untermensch sure love getting carried away by someone else's thoughts.

Dumb animuposter.

yup, but it's just paid intel shills, regular intel shills, intel investors, dumb /v/ fags and amd fanboys that are so disappointed with ryzen
it's a great CPU that I'd buy if I didn't have a 5960x already.

>it's a great CPU

I don't know how anyone can say that with a straight face

>>59217451
ridiculously high clock speeds and an extreme emphasis on single core performance

6950x isn't quite the processor suited for gaming

For desktops quad channel is irrelevant. All it allows you to do is to use cheapest memory available. I have 5820k and I get no difference between 2133, 2400 and 2666 ram.

With 3200+ memory becoming mainstream this is a non issue.

AMD gives 0 fucks about 4/8 gaymur shit. They are in the game for enterprise / datacenter shit. That is where the bigbux is and for that purpose Zen core is perfect because of low power and absurd density of the 32/64 parts.

>>59219898
It's a great CPU for someone who needs CPU performance but can't step up to a Xeon and their workload isn't GPU accelerated.

Which isn't a whole lot of people. It's a commercial failure in terms of the general consumer and gaming market.

>they'll fix it in software/firmware/microcode!
Grow up anon. They can never fix it in software. The hardware design just isn't as good. It's not terrible, and for some configurations the price is very attractive. For many it will be good enough and it will sell decently. But it just isn't as good as its competition.
