New releases by AMD

[cruelsister]

AMD has been getting alot of love lately on the Street, mainly due to the next gen CPU (Ryzen):

Farewell Zen, Hello Ryzen: AMD’s Eight-Core CPU Runs At 3.4GHz+

and the GPU dubbed "Vega":

AMD Vega 10 Coming End Of 2016 With Powerful V9 Architecture, Vega 11 Due 1H 2017

Lisa Su is really turning the company around. Last year I was convinced it was toast.

Until they have actual products in the market and benchmarks from independent labs their new cpu mean nothing. Amd is known to make data that suit their releases and then an actual product that sucks.
Zen or whatever they decide to call it next week in theory should be same performance as intel counterparts or offer lower prices for similar performance.
We will see on release. I am not bias and will buy what makes sense like always.

For the time being, and only because of the issues I am having with nVIdia drivers over the past 3 months and constant updates and breaking, the Vega GPU is looking awfully tempting. If it doesn't break the bank and allow me to get a 144hz freesync monitor, I am going Red and abandoning Green for good.

Will research more as last report I read regarding DX12, AMD comes out on top.

The Nail in the coffin for me is I am unable to play BF1 or Watch Dogs 2 without crashes or glitches.....
