New prices for the AMD Ryzen processor, which would arrive at the end of February due to a problem in the BIOS of the motherboards that they would be solving against the clock.
The new AMD Ryzen processors will hit the market in the coming weeks, as the limit is set at GDC 2017, as we know that AMD will hold a conference on 'the AMD Ryzen processors recently launched on the market'. This tells us that either they arrive on the market days before the technological event or hours before the presentation, but it is a data that we cannot give for sure, for now, since AMD guards it with great zeal.
According to the latest information that appeared on the Chinese Chiphell forum, the launch, which would be scheduled for February, could be modified due to some errors in the BIOS of the motherboards, something that manufacturers would have detected and that has to be solved before marketing the products. Apparently AMD wanted to launch the AMD Ryzen a few weeks before the GDC, but in the end this has had to be delayed to the end of February, which was the initially planned date.
The first processor would arrive now, which would be the eight-core Ryzen ADM, while apparently, the other four more basic processors would take a little longer to arrive, up to four months, according to the information. This new AMD processor is characterized by eight cores and sixteen processing threads, in addition, that all new AMD Zen processors will have the characteristic of supporting overclocking.
Up to now the information is more or less secure and now we are entering into speculation, since the data has not been and cannot be verified. The price of AMD Ryzen processors would not be as cheap as some pointed out, which always put it below $ 500, always close to $ 400. According to Chiphell, the price of these new processors would be between $ 580 and $ 720, for the eight-core AMD Ryzen.
We must take all the prices seen so far as non-verified information and we could be talking about the final price of the processor for the consumer or the price of the wholesaler, which would then be increased by the final store. So we must have a little more patience and be attentive to the information that will appear in the coming weeks.

If the 8-core Ryzen performs similarly to the i7-6900K, which costs around 1200 euros, between 500 and 700 euros would be an excellent price for those who buy this segment of CPUs. What would be a shame is that the Ryzen 4 and 6 cores arrived months later.
Keep in mind that from what we know they will not use quad-channel in the ram, and in the tests the i7 was used in dual-channel configuration. But I think that in a month we will get rid of doubts with the exit and the first user tests.
I think it is a terrible mistake to sell AMD microprocessors above $ 500 where few have access, the strength of AMD would be to get a 6 Core over $ 200 would have many more results, it would win lost persecution and above all it would tip the balance of sales over Intel since at this time many prefer a 6600k for the price performance they offer.
I suppose that with those prices I will have to look at the 6-core one, but we have not heard anything about them yet so who knows how long we will have them, hopefully the performance of ryzen is not just lip service.
Nothing is known yet, but as soon as we have more information we will publish it
And give
Is that these do not learn
The AMD thing is something that is not seen anywhere
That is, after 4 years without offering anything, nothing, a zero, now they come with prices of 0, be careful because they are 700 without taxes, without customs, nothing at all, the real price will be around 700.
I always used AMD configuration but in March it was over because they are scoundrels
Before paying 900 I went for a 1300 and I know that they give me what that money is worth and not trust a company for so many years to do these things.
Ohala break because it is what you deserve
But what are you talking about haha this 8/16 is equal to or more powerful than a 6900k that costs 1.200 euros, if it comes out for 800 euros it is 400 euros that you can easily save, on top of it it has better technologies and such, what has to speak for talking.
They have not yet been released so the final performance is not known, what we do know is that it performs the same as a 6900k without active turbo boost and with memories working only in dual channel.
And BEWARE that does not mean that the RYZEN are bad, surely they will be very good and so we will see a price war between brands again, something that benefits us all
The two working at the same frequency, it is clear that the Ryzen do not stay at 3.2 either and of course dual channel vs quad channel but it is that in the tests the Ryzen comes out winning and not the 6900k by little, if the 6900k is somewhat capable , but the Ryzen is also capped and runs his hand over it.
We would all like to see AMD up there that would push Intel, and as I said, the users came out ahead.
As for what will happen in a month we will know
That's very clear, now it seems that the fight is beginning and that even if Intel can do a little better, I don't think it will be that much 😀 the price is what we want.
Friend, keep in mind that there are many people who have endured a year or more of complete obsolescence with their computers because of these processors. Expectations were very high, and the general belief was that you would be able to buy a €200 processor equivalent to a €400 Intel processor. In the end, most people never invest more than €300 in a processor, and it's normal that these price ranges we're seeing create disappointment for people who were very excited about the arrival of these new processors. Fortunately, I don't suffer from these brand issues; I always build both, Intel and AMD, each with its characteristic color. But I understand people who right now feel like they've been suffering for a year or more with a piece of junk for nothing, that they're not going to pay less for more, or at least not as they had in mind.
