If AMD is so amazing why don't they release an extremely cheap 2-core/4-thread CPU to see their power in small-scale gayming? Are they scared it will be exposed that they are still shit in single-thread performance? The meme that we don't need faster cores is literally the shit they tried to pull last time.

You know it's true brother.

the APUs are for just that, but the design of ryzen is in 4 core groups. any 2 core models will be binned 4 core

Who the fuck would buy a dual core?

No, you fail to understand AMD.
AMD is selling quad cores at dual core prices with dual core IPC

99% of Microsoft Office-machines would benefit from a dual core with 4 threads economically. They literally spend 100% of the time only needing 1 core plus max 1 or 2 other threads very rarely. AMD is full of shit again.

Then gtfo Sup Forums

if intel is so shit why dont they release an extremely expensive 2 core 4 thread cpu that gets beaten by the lowest 4 core bin while starting forest fires

oh wait they did

They are very good for single-threaded games. Even World of Warcraft is still largely single threaded. It still has about 10,000,000 users when it launches a new expansion for a week.

no igpu. amd have bottled it. they've lost practically why whole prebuilt market to intel now.

gg amd it was nice knowing you.

>what is Q2

practically the*

> if you're not a gaymer or run an illegal trafficing ring of bluray reencodes you are not for Sup Forums
shut the fuck up and die child.

That's nice because Zen has great single threaded performance too.
Do you not know what IPC means?

the Zen IPC is good enough for this kind of thing, but dual cores will only show up if enough quad cores fail in some way. either that or AMD deactivates 2 of 4 cores and sells it to you, if you want that

> the 6900K was not a propaganda comparison
It's a fucking 3.2Ghz chip.
My haswell runs on 4.7Ghz for 2 years

cheap. the new intel pentium is one of the most popular, if not the most popular budget gpu right now. it's like $60 and can run all old games and pretty much every new game just fine despite only having 2 physical cores and 4 threads.

most games still scale like shit over anything more than 4 threads.

budget cpu i mean

I'd suspect an Athlon will pop up later this year to fill that niche, along with APUs

They literally used from Intel the most cherry picked shit they could find. A 6900K who runs on 3.2Ghz and can go max 3.7K. The actual people of Sup Forums in 99%+ of cases have 4.5Ghz chips.
So shut the fuck up with the shilling.
Compare core for core or stfu.

THIS OMG
AMD LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY BTFO
>2017
>Haswell IPC
>1.9v to achieve decent OC

I understand intel's overclocking is very good right now. IPC=/= single threaded performance though. Unfortunately AMD has shown us basically nothing of the lower end of the Ryzen line, so we can't tell how far those overclock yet

The 8 core zens are low ghz you mongoloid. The 1000$ i7s have about the same ghz because they have so many cores too.

No, they simply compared to the flagship CPUs of intel and completely decimated them for one third of the price.

Ryzen single-thread performance is on par with Skylake, it's just that it doesn't overclock as well, Intlel wins at gayming. Still, low clocked quad core > OC'd 2/4 in everything. Dumb frogposter

1. The 4-core/4-thread processors are already cheap
2. Ryzen is not an APU. Anyone needing something extremely cheap probably wouldn't want to spend additional money for a discreet graphics card, even the very low-powered ones.

the 4core/4thread is already pretty cheap, though

It doesn't even have an igpu, they're not aiming at that market. Yet

Yes, and Intel's Pentium is still half the price of that

...

Oh right, they'll fill that gap with APUs. True.

>Who the fuck would buy a dual core?
Laptops. Especially low end ones like Chromebooks.

That's what APUs are for.

Nice example based on shitty optimized microsoft pajeet code.
World of warcraft is also old, nobody is going to make architectural changes to it, its just not worth the effort and money. Also nobody is going to buy high end gpus to play shitty old games. Even if you would have high single core performance you wouldnt benefit from it, at least not in this game.
