SFF.Network [SFF Network] Easter egg discovered in Canard PC's Ryzen review, expect Ryzen to hit 5.0GHz

On December 28th, enterprising redditor /u/lolwut996633 discovered an easter egg in Canard PC's Ryzen engineering sample review (source, Reddit.com).

Looking at the binary line-break that was hidden in plain site on Page 10, each digit was manually input into a binary to plain text converter.

That would be very nice if this puts it above Intel's entire consumer range, but I'd still like to see some boards and prices.

Not sure if it would put it above the 1-8 thread performance of the Kaby Lake parts; but I could see this, should AMD comparison demos to the i7-6900K stand true as well as this rumor, bettering Intel's HEDT BW-E parts. This would be excellent news, if true, nevertheless.

Just waiting on price and availability.

 

[confusis]

Exclusive: The prices will start at US$ ██ and the top model will retail for US$ ███. They will be available from the █████████ of ███, 2017.

 

[ricochet]

Wow, only US$ ██! Unbelievable and so soon too... on █████████ of ███!

More information on Zen will be released tomorrow. Prepare yourself mortals

I hope this brings Intel prices down at least, or maybe AMD can unleash a 5ghz -capable quad core CPU to go against the i3 K.

*cough *cough

if the 5ghz Zen is true, and so is the Kaby Lake i3 running close to 5ghz, then I think this is why the Kaby Lake is going to be about $180. The Zen wont match single threaded performance so Intel can validate the price. If the Zen is around $125 or less, this will be very interesting!

Does anyone know, Zen only comes in 4C / 8T version, or do they have 4C / 4T versions? everything i read so far shows CPU's with 2T per Core.

More information on Zen will be released tomorrow. Prepare yourself mortals

I am not ready, I AM NOT READY ! *panic mode*
Oh well, atleast they teased the hell out of 2016 Maybe they want to see if they can mark the end of 2016 with a stock price increase so they can put it on the wall in a frame ?

 

[TheHig]

I would really like to sell off an intel box and get some AMD back in my life. Pulling for ya Ryzen!

 

[MJVR1]

Me and my sources right now. They lied to us... THEY LIED TO US ALL

 

[3lfk1ng]

Aw man, I was hopeful we would get an end of the year teaser too.

Apparently the 5 GHz OC was single cord on air and the limiting factor was a shitty VRM, not the CPU

So... does this mean that the AMD Ryzen may break the 9 GHz barrier on liquid nitrogen?! :-p

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

That's the last straw.

 

[jeshikat]

That's the last straw.

Uh oh!

Hey I've only broken 3 phones at work in 3 years, I'm not the hulk yet!

Sadly one was a Nokia ;(
