The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Ryzen 2700X 3.7-4.3GHz, 8c/16t -> ~$330
Intel 8700K 3.7-4.7GHz, 6c/12t -> ~$350

Intel should shit their pants by now.

Oh, and it’ll be interesting to see how far you can OC that new gen.

People said that the Athlon 64 was back when Ryzen launched… I think Ryzen 2nd gen might be the actual come back of AMD to high end.
If its 5-10% IPC + 5-10% clock speed bump that puts it on par with intel, for the most part.
Will have to see though if its actually and IPC gain and clock boost and not just what Intel says where its “5% IPC gain”… But its really just 5% higher OCed lol

were talking a 4.5Ghz OC on some ryzen chips so its going to get really interesting. the 1% and 0.1% lows are still going to be fairly shit compared to intel due to CCX latency and the fact that infinity fabric speed is still tied to memory speed

Tempted to rewatch GOT right now. Just not sure if i have the 70hours for it atm XD

neat I still need to get to finish watching the rest of GoT but this is my major problem with it. I’m not good at putting that much time into shows.

Im more worried about the fact that once i start i might not be able to stop until about a week later when ive finished it XD

so I see your on the opposite side of the scale than me XD

I kinda wish I could do that and get completely lost in a show but I always seem to stop about halfway through todo something else.

Thats been my problem with gaming lately and its kinda killed my motivation for gaming. Ill always start a game and never finish it but the beginning is almost always too boring for me to get into a replay

yep always get the problem with games too. kinda sucks more with games when you know late game is amazing and you could put soo much time into it but you have to get past the hours of boring stuff first.

Its funny you say that as most of the Ryzen chips I have, have lower avg FPS than a competitive Intel but higher .1 and 1% lows. No idea why though lol. Maybe memory bandwidth being higher is why. Also moar cores.

Side note. I’m probably going to be consolidating my stream rig into one machine shortly. As I now have a Cooler Master Haf XM to play with again… So I can have ALL THE THINGS in the case lol. And it has good airflow.
Because reasons.

Will have to find some more motherboard standoffs but otherwise the one I have is pretty much ready to go. Only downside is the thing literally weighs 25 lbs by itself but oh well lol

Edit;
I may wait until X470 though to grab a motherboard to replace my stupid MSI Pissboard though lol. Whether its X370 on sale or X470. Either way.

Damnit. I got distracted with testing the 7770 and then the ES quadro yesterday and didnt stream.

If Intel enters the GPU market, I think it will be on the business professional side.

if they enter the GPU market. wouldnt be surprised if raja was there to just make their iGPUs not shit.

though im waiting to see what raja can come up with when he has a nearly infinite budget
