SFF.Network AMD at CES 2017

AMD, the underdog of the CPU and GPU worlds, made itself known at CES, with a large booth, various displays, and some impressive demos - namely Doom at 4K! Our reporter Drew visited the displays and brought us back these pictures:

I was really hoping to see some release dates and pricing structures for Ryzen and Vega at CES this year. I'm getting that sinking feeling this is going to be pushed back again and again until Intel and Nvidia's next gen is right around the corner thus negating everything AMD is working towards. I hope i'm proven wrong, but that's the feeling i'm getting right now.

Nvidia not announcing a 1080 ti and Intel delaying the 7350k release suggests you are right. That's AMDs problem, they haVe products that look great but are still in development, but it's competitors can release ultra competitive products using existing product lines.

That Lenovo VR Rig though, super nice..

Wish I could see the guts of that baby!

That Lenovo VR system indeed looks mighty interesting. I'm also glad that AMD is still invested in SFF with both Zen and Vega !

 

[ChainedHope]

I really want to see more of that Lenovo VR system. It looks smaller than the Zotac VR GO.

I hope someone makes a X300 DTX motherboard. I need one more slot for a sound card for a 5.1 surround sound racing rig setup.

Why wouldn't the partners making I TX boards want to be named? Seems good marketing to get mentioned as often as possible.

Possibly in case they didn't go through with it :/

 

[ChainedHope]

That and not to be pressured. If they were mentioned, they would have to eventually give an ETA for a board that might be months behind compared to its ATX or uATX brethren.

This^

I wonder if my hundreds of emails about M-ITX AM3+ had anything to do with it

I hope someone makes a X300 DTX motherboard. I need one more slot for a sound card for a 5.1 surround sound racing rig setup.

Or X300 ITX board with TB3, that would work as well, but make the whole setup more expensive. On the other hand, you're never moving that 5.1 surround system with you, so a little smaller system without the sound card is actually kind of useful.

Good point
