Zen is the new Sandy Bridge.

Correct, it performs the same, 6 years later

>>62129984
?

>>62129970
Zen is ironlake
Zen 2 is sandy bridge

4-core not-completely-gimped Pentiums and i3s is the more interesting part of this.

I'm glad Ryzen happened and Intel have a real competitor again, because that wouldn't have happened without AMD stepping up. My compiling box is probably going to prefer Threadripper but I might go Intel on my desktop again.

What's the heat like? Intel tend to use shitglue where AMD use solder.

True but I'm still buying a ryzen 7 1700 later today to 'upgrade' my 6600k. Will upgrade zen2 later and resell zen1

Comfy

nah, zen is Nehalem
zen2 is sandybridge

>>62130255

its all that will happen for a few years intel has no innovation so they have to move skus down. when zen 2 happens intel will be fucked

>>62130437
bollocks
zen 2 is just going to be a refinement on a much better process
sandy bridge actually changed things up quite a bit from nehalem

>>62130511
from my understanding, and this is just real world performance,

Nehalem > sandybridge esd 40-50% more performance.

zen 2 looks to be bringing an improved fpu, instead of half memory 1:1 while being on a process geared for normal use of 5ghz, apposed to the 3ghz one they have now

all these improvements will likely uptick by about 40% with just clock speed alone much less inte improved infinity fabric speed and improved fpu.

It will also be the last MAJOR change up zen will have outside of more cores, larger/better caches, pcie 4, or ddr5

i can see zen 2 lasting as long or possibly longer then sandy bridge while still being viable.

UMA SOPA

>>62130437

ironically, Zen2 might finally match Sandy Bridge at single thread

Twitch streamers will buy these up in droves.

I'm still on Nehalem, or Westmere technically.

x5660 @ 4.2ghz (very light oc, does 4.5+) with 24gb @ 1866mhz and a gtx 1060 6gb.

Will rock this for years to come probably, no signs of struggle in any games.

Gpu upgrade when needed.

nah, Intel will offer 8-cores with Icelake or Tigerlake

Too little too late, Ryzen is better.

>>62133248
When Zen 2 hits with a refined uarch and 7nm enables frequencies close to 4.5GHz Intel will be forced to release a mainstream 8-core.

>>62133630
>close to 4.5GHz
I assure you that >40% higher performance/watt compared to zen1 is not just 4.5GHz

>>62133876
you should probably learn how power-frequency curve works
