ahh, finally its over 9000! looks like a chip that is worthy of upgrading my current 5820 almost double the score!! @_@,(reply>), Thanks for the heads up, I am still running Haswell-E but I am so far not yet impressed by the improvements new CPU will give. Sadly the same for this gen apparently. May have a look an that Zen 2 you talk about. if I can reuse my h100i cooler and DDR4 memory on it I may consider it :),(reply>), ShinTsu and like double the cost, and double the power draw,(reply>), This generation is one to skip. Either get Ryzen 3rd gen (Zen 2) CPU's when they come out, or wait until intel stops using 14nm and goes to 10nm. These CPU's are just Skylake refreshes and are honestly worthless. Smart people would buy next gen. (No, I'm not the "just wait a little longer" guy. Next gen will seriously be the biggest generational improvements in a long time, literally, next gen is the time to buy, from both AMD and intel.)
