lol *immediate pre-order availability*

amd can't even pull off a hard launch. can't wait for the inevitable process issues and schedule slips to restrict availability so much their price advantage disappears

sup, bitch?
intel doesn't care about pure performance anymore, just cutting down power and maintaining performance. amd still fighting the previous battle which appeals to an ever-shrinking market (lol gamers and "content creators").

well, amd says that, yes

of course you can't buy one yet and no one is allowed to publish actual benchmarks until they're available for sale, so lol

probably just to start selling lower binned xeon e5 as i7s, without the workstation chipset/ecc requirments

it's fine for a little home backup box that can do other things, i stuffed 12GB of RAM in it and run a bunch of KVM VMs and LXC instances on it

i sure as hell wouldn't use it for real work

can't wait for apple to switch to full AMD stack and it somehow makes video editors even more likely to flee the platform because adobe and avid will not be able to move quickly enough to put in the right optimizations for it

i have a token amd friend box, i celebrate computer diversity

same

the Athlon 5350 is pretty much unchallenged in its role of "CPU/motherboard combo I can buy for $40" and it makes an OK shitbox HTPC or fileserver

little known fact, it even has ECC support and there is even a motherboard that has it hooked up, shame it's mATX instead of something useful like mITX or full ATX

fake edit though it looks like Microcenter no longer carries it, and Zen doesn't support ECC, so welp there went my interest in AMD products

zen seems to be targeting that ever growing juggernaut of the PC market, home desktop PCs

without ecc support they're worthless for actual workstations or entry level servers, so i guess going for the biggest markets of 2003, the last time amd was even remotely relevant, makes sense

That's dumb, I guess they don't want to cannibalise sales of the Naples server CPU line that launches later this year

I built my zfs home server around the AMD FX-8350 in 2013 along with 32GB of cheap ECC memory and that thing has been rock solid and quite needs suiting. It's annoying to have a space heater running 24/7 during the summer but in winter you need that extra 100 watts of heating anyway.
