AMD Ryzen - Will it be as good as leaks have made it out to be or will this be an autismal saltfest?

Well, the 1400 - 1600X Ryzens have now come out and been reviewed. I'm now thinking that the one to get isn't the 1600X but the plain old 1600. It costs 30 fewer Good Boy Points and can be overclocked even with the standard cooler to match the 1600X, or thereabouts.

With that and more games coming out that can use more than four cores, together with a multi-core performance that crushes not only the i5s it's priced against but the quad core i7s, it's looking very, very, attractive. I plan a new build this year and if Vega can do something similar (i.e. GTX 1080 or slightly above performance for significantly less money and in a smaller package), it may be an all-AMD affair.

I'm holding my breath on Vega. GTX 2080 will be shown around August and Vega is only supposed to reach GTX 1080 speeds. We've already seen what GTX 1080Ti's can do. It's bad enough we have the RX 580's coming out which is just another rebrand. I want AMD to really push their graphic cards like they did with their processors.

With their processors you get a powerful multi-core processor that runs just as good as $1050 i7 but at less than half the cost. I want to see something similar with a video card or workstation card from AMD. We're already getting a Naples server processors which I hope will be better than any Extreme processor.

if top vega doesnt reach 1080 ti level it isnt worth buying. I believe it will around that level. ANyway, we'll see soon enough.

I got and installed my 1600x and now I'll install windows 10 LTSB whenever I get to it. It's not like I don't already use that fabulous monitor with my other pc. My 3000MHz Ram only runs at 2667 without fucking with timings with latest bios. Good enough I guess.

2667mhz should be the sweet spot with a 1600x
