Agreed. I really want to know how having two memory channels is going to play out for memory intensive workloads like in-memory databases and caches.
I've been wanting something wider to play with at home for a long time, but the AMD parts are slow, and the Intel parts are expensive and have expensive motherboards. I guess I don't want it that bad.

The NDA on benchmarks is supposedly set to expire on February 28. [0]
Not sure why this PC World article is coming up now. There have already been many stories on Ryzen pricing and the release date of March 2 has been known for several days now... [1]

It was known, but not official until now. Also, preorders are now live.

#6Really looking forward to this, and I'm glad that AMD's management no longer seems to be on the pipe.
Even if the real world perf is close to the $1K Intel chips it will be a win. It's going to force price cuts from Intel and hopefully spark some competition again.

#7I wish people benchmark GEMM performance for all of us math folk.

That's funny, Ars Technica says reviews won't be out until launch day. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/02/amd-r...

It would be interesting if Apple used these chips in upcoming Mac desktops.
I'm guessing that adopting these lower priced chips without lowering prices would have a negligible impact on sales for Apple if the performance is as good as AMD claims.

#10First (amateur) third-party benchmarks confirm a ~$350 Ryzen beats $1000 Intel processors in CPUMARK, 3DMark Fire Strike Physics, Cinebench: https://www.chiphell.com/thread-1706915-1-1.html
AMD had said for years their Zen goal was a 40% IPC gain over their previous microarchitecture, but they ended up with a 52% gain: http://www.anandtech.com/show/11143/amd-launch-ryzen-52-more...
