Ryzen is out and the 1800x competes very well with the top Broadwell 8 core $1050 chip at $499
So if the cut the server Intel prices by 50 %....They ought to gt some business....
The power consumption drops at lot too!
AMDs Naples put them back in the server game
On top of Intels best at the moment
Yes, I was looking at the Ryzen as my next upgrade - 8 core 64 gb VMware player server. It is for a multi VM lab environment.
But if the Naples is just around the corner, I think I will hold off and see what the June time frame brings to the market.
