    64 lanes of PCIe 3.0, that's so fucking unnecessary.

    Oh and speaking of this, yesterday Asus unveiled the first Ryzen laptop, capable of running up to a Ryzen 7 1700, a mobile variant of the RX 580, and 120hz Freesync display. It's already been stated the laptops will not support overclocking in any manner.

    Just a bump because Ryzen 3 is out.

    Ryzen 3 is a fucking beast, new budget performance king.

    Watched the Linus video and yeah Ryzen 3 is where it's at. Granted on strictly single threaded games the Pentium was slightly faster, this wasn't taking into account real world situations where other applications will be running in the background. While Vega is looking terrible, Ryzen has brought it to Intel. I haven't watched it yet, and can't get youtube at work, but Adored TV did a video on Intel's monopoly. Will watch when I get home today.

    Tiny threadripper leech, not really much data to go on, unclear why they tested so little (maybe rushed, maybe other test results didn't go well?), but it doesn't look terribad at least.

    Roundup list for threadripper reviews:
    http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-thread...p-x399-launch/

    TLDR; it's pretty good, core for core intel has an advantage, but the extra cores pulls ahead if you can use them. Some issues but mostly marginal. Still doesn't beat the brutal quad cores in single/low thread applications, but if you want to do everything at the same time, is gudd!

    Going to get the 1950x, but the order I put in for the PSU Seasonic Prime Titanium 850W doesn't arrive before the end of the month :/

    PCWorld was very enthusiastic

    Upgraded from a lousy FX-8350 to the Ryzen 5 1600x. Oh god...love it so damn much ! Got that with a Gigabyte AB350- Gaming 3 Mobo (Love dual BIOS) and thing is working great ! Only sad part was buying the DDR4....dear lord Mem prices jumped.

    All in all, very happy with the Ryzen line.

    I'm glad there's so much excitement for the Ryzen chips. I just ordered a new PC with the Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor for editing movies/shows in Adobe Premiere: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sqTPr7

    Never built a PC before, might get started tonight.

    From what I've read Ryzen is excellent for that sort of thing. Let us know how it works for you!

    I haven't had a desktop PC in like 13 years, and I've never used Adobe Premiere (90% of my work is on Avid, and the other 10% was on FCP7). Going to be a lot of learning going on.

    If you need any help building message me. I get email notifications. I may be working on mine as well tonight. I gotta put off my new build for a little bit. We may be getting a new roof in the next month or two.

    The $200 R7 1600 seems to be the sweet spot if you game and do light work. 1700 and up are for (I believe) CAD, Photoshop, and other programs and software that can utilize the threads and cores. Most of what I recall reading from reviews was for gamers only or light work users is that while yes the Intel I5 is slightly faster at gaming all other activities are more snappy.

    $70-250 mobo $100-300 ram, $200-450 cpu.

    The imo good reason to go AMD right now is simple - intel fucks it's customers.
    People on Kaby Lake and Skylake cannot use their existing motherboards on the kaby lake/skylake refreshes, just 1 half gen later.

    AM3 supported AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+.

    AM4 is due for support until 2020, which means Ryzen+ ( the refresh ) will be compatible, it means Raven Ridge ( The upcoming Ryzen APU [ CPU with integrated GPU ) will be compatible, etc etc.
    You don't have to throw your motherboard away and re setup your whole fucking system, just buy a new cpu.

    It also means you can do a budget route like mobo+R1400/1500/1600 +ram and upgrade in a year or two, or even 2 years down the line and you'll be saving money.

    I may do that. Is there a good online guide you recommend? I mean I know that it's kinda just plugging everything into its place and I've seen a couple guides, but since I haven't done this ever before if there's an up-to-date one that people have found useful I'm all ears.

    Because I like BitWit.

    Google search on how to assemble a pc will bring a plethora of guides.
