Zenon is actually pretty dope sounding. Definitely better than Ryzen. And is it such a big deal when Intel can't really sue for name similarity, and AMD has bit half the Intel's branding already.Zenon
Lets bring back the Duron...
Ryzen 3 1100 as low as $129!

Some people are eating some crow now, huh!? lol
LOL!Duron always reminded me of that certain condom brand O_O.

Well... let's see what the official benchmarks look like, first.
I'm also hoping that AMD does a good job delivering their new CPU's in volume, as they kinda messed up with RX-400 series GPU's when they first came out.
LOL!
I just remember taking a #2 pencil and drawing a bridge between points on the CPU to change the multiplier, inexpensive fun times, and no "K" tax!

I heard that Zen was coming from a brand new facility from GF, but idk if that will make things better or not.

I also found that odd, but it's true for i7 vs the i5 as well. HT probably doesn't affect clock speeds to the same extent as extra cores, but the difference is still there, yet the i7 is the faster stock CPU.I find it really odd that the top of the line CPU has the highest base clock speed. Why wouldn't some 4C/8T chip have higher speeds? It should have extra TDP headroom and for some of the chips an option to fuse off the weakest or limiting core if more than 4 were good.

4.2 Ghz 7700k
I assume it's mostly marketing to make the more expensive CPUs look more appealing. Even if the more expensive CPUs are binned, I don't see why these lower end CPUs couldn't overclock just as high. But again, most people don't overclock, so the more expensive CPUs seem better than they really are.
Images says otherwise. So feel free to document something else.
Total profit is what counts.
If I have fixed operating costs of $100, and I have the choice of selling 20 widgets for $20 each at 40% gross margin or 40 widgets at $15 each at 35% gross margin, then which scenario is better?
I plan to cool mine with a block made of evaporative metallic hydrogen, just to see if XFR hits those 9GHZ boost clocks.http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-full-lineup-pricing-clock-speeds-leaked/
Is this for real?
No quad core above 3.8/9 GHz. Seems like we have a slight clocking issue?
Other interesting thing is 8c16t 3.7 GHz is 65w, but a 6c12t above 3.5 is 95w? Is boast clock above TDP? I thought that was a XFR thing.
