Broadwell-E vs Zen will be heated if Zen hits Haswell-E performance.
Haswell-E i7-5820K 6cores/12threads is about $400
i7-5930K 6cores/12threads $600
i7-5960X 8cores/16threads $1060
Broadwell-E i7 10cores/20 threads will be at $1500 at launch
Some price guesses pulled from ass
Sweet spot for Zen 8cores/16threads is around $500~600, enough for AMD to earn some high end money to pay debts
Hypothetical Zen 6cores/12threads (2 cores disabled in die) ~$350~400 (i7 skylake/kabylake competitor)
Zen 4cores/8threads ~$250~300 (i5 competitor)
Zen 4cores ~$150~200 (i3 competitor)
What do you think? Will AMD fail and bankrupt and finished? Will Zen deliver and save bucks for your pocket?
Nothing in the consumer market really matters since the real money is in enterprise.

>Hypothetical Zen 6cores/12threads (2 cores disabled in die)
zen cores can only be disabled in groups of 4, it's likely we'll get one flagship with 8 cores and various flavors of 4 cores
>>53865695
No, they can disable the cores in what ever way they want, it's just 4 cores share cache. The small asymmetries in performance from disabling different cores won't stop AMD from doing it.
>>53865744
they would have to disable the last level cache for that group of cores then, bulldozer has the same problem when you disable one of the half cores through microcode. that's why AMD only shipped die harvested chips with entire modules disabled.
>>53865644
High end enthusiast performance map to server segment, enterprise workstations, and even to mobile/notebook because they can scale up and down. It's both prestige and architecture show

wccftech claimed they will have 6 cores, but yeah
>wccftech
They can still do 8 cores without hyperthreading for that segment if it doesn't perform as well, but I would expect prices to be at higher end for that
>>53865798
bulldozer actually shared an fpu and the front end decoder, there was no way to disable that and ending up with a core.
Having a cache that is shared between 3 or 4 cores is fine in comparison.
>>53866236
AMD won't disable hyperthreading except maybe on the lowest end chips. Hyperthreading costs intel nothing to enable, they only disable it to segment their stack. AMD doesn't like doing the same thing, they usually rather just sell the salvaged parts as their lower end cpus.
>>53865494
its crazy to think that these cpus will have as much cache as my computer in the 90s had ram.
anyways this leak isn't anything new.
I think AMD gave up on competing with Intel a long time ago
There is zero evidence that 6950X is gong to be $1500.
Quit posting shit some fag on overclocked3d said with no source.
>>53870018
in all likely hood it will take the price point of the 5960X , which is ~1000 bucks at the moment
>>53870232
Exactly. $500 is a big difference.
