Is this zen thing going to replace AM1 as the best HTPC+seedbox/NAS option in the under 100 bucks build price range?
I wanted to build one but I don't know if it will come with cheapo options and every integrated CPU option from intel is shit, expensive and somehow have way worse perfomance than the j1900 from years ago
No. kaby i3 is better choice because of hw 4k hevc&vp9.
James Smith
I said under 100 build not 160 just for the CPU, fucking retard
>inb4 le amdpoorfag
I use a 3570k
Ryder Gomez
>even lowest zen >under 100$ for the whole build good luck retard literally kill yourself
Connor Clark
So AMD lost the budget market too?
Why are they even still alive
Easton James
sub 100$ for a cpu isnt budget, its destitute.
Joseph Cox
$100-$200 is budget. Under $100 is just pure garbage, whether it be a CPU or GPU.
Caleb Rodriguez
Do you even realize, fucking subhumans, that a 25€ android stick can do everything a 10000 xeon can do for the intended purposes?
Its just a fucking HTPC/torrent box you retards, the only reason I'm going x86 is sata ports and gigabit Ethernet
Liam Wright
They will release a dual module Bristol ridge apu for under 100$, because if they priced it higher no one will buy it considering zen is a couple dollar more
Elijah Morris
>expecting arm shitbox that can't even hw decode hevc to be comparable in price to even atom tier barebone you're fucking retarded
Cameron Butler
Atom is shit and discontinued and new celerons are shit
Samuel Morris
>arm shitbox that can't even hw decode hevc
This is 2017, ARM can hardware decode pretty much everything
I think the lesson here is that Sup Forums doesn't know shit about cpus it just likes to praise israel.
Jason Edwards
no cheap zen for a while yet
the summit ridge chips are supposed to compete with intel's socket 2011 parts
Wyatt Foster
>g/ doesn't know shit about cpus You needed more than 1 week here to realize that?
just look at build threads where fags throw a 600€ GPU in a shitty 75€ AMD CPU for EXTREM GAYMING or a i7+SSD and 16GB of ram in a facebook machine
Gabriel Sanders
but teh falcon!
William Adams
Most competent people on this field left Sup Forums a while ago. It's mostly Sup Forums spillover, >consumerism freetards and pajeets now.
Jonathan Jenkins
>on this field Sup Forums is about memes and generals now
Mason Jenkins
They make really cheap h110 boards, could probably get a pentium and one of those for under $100. Would that not offer a significant performance increase?
David Kelly
For that kind of stuff passive cooling is better
Samuel Campbell
>Most competent people on this field left Sup Forums a while ago. Do you consider 7 years "a while ago"? Sup Forums has been shitposting before fermi. In fact, the fermi perood at leat had quality shitposting. Redditshits really don't know how to shitpost. Fucking newfag.
Mason Morales
a10-7700k is best cpu to build in a htpc/seedbox/nas build cheap motherboards has 6 sata slots and a igpu r7 that is faster than iris pro or any intel igpu
Aaron Robinson
>faster than iris pro or any intel igpu
You can't say that on Sup Forums - it triggers the israelites.
James Foster
90€ processor
Again, stop being so fucking retarded, I can get what I want in a literally cheaper than that processor full build, I just wanted to know if Zen is going to revamp the cheapo builds with the new 14nm shit
Samuel Garcia
Nobody knows about 15w or what ever watt CPUs AMD was promoting at this time, you are basically asking bunch of ignoramuses questions and expect actual intellectual answers.
Brayden James
Gotta love dem marketing graph scales, but it's OK when amd doest it.
Dylan Lewis
Sup Forums has always been like that
Eli Clark
Are you asking us to predict AMD's intentions and the resulting market, for Zen? We really can't do that. Any answer you get would be meaningless speculation.
Daniel Young
bristol ridge already have that capability you know...
Nolan Evans
why would you use zen as a htpc+seedbox/nas? Holy shit you can do all those things on 10w arm chip
Jaxson Gray
Because is new and might get better perfomance/money and be able to do more stuff with it if some day I feel like it?
Oliver Lopez
wait for a zen apu then
Carson Lewis
40% better performance confirmed
Evan Lee
If this htpc runs kodi you will need more power to play some 1080p content. You will manage 1080p rips of game of thrones that are under 4gb just fine. That thing with struggle with 10bit anime rips. Especially of older series if all the film grain is kept intact.
