AMD Ryzen specs revealed at CES 2017 just increased consumers' desires concerning Zen based CPU release date and price. AMD hopes to capitalize on the said demand as they try to challenge Intel this year.
Although important details like Ryzen price and release date are still lacking, AMD managed to suffice consumer's curiosity by releasing more specs info during the CES event. Apart from updates detailing that Ryzen will be unlocked and ready for overclocking right out of the box. The landing partner of Ryzen, AMD4 motherboards, has also been introduced.
AMD Ryzen will be AM4 compatible as announced by the company. Gamers and enthusiast may be able to choose from various models coming from ASRock, MSI, Gigabyte, and Biostar, according to PC World.
Moreover, other computer hardwares were also highlighted to complement the Zen based processor's performance. The same publication also detailed that future Ryzen users may choose to equip their setup with the highly talked about AMD Vega GPU.
In view of the given facts, the question on whether AMD's effort with Ryzen and other hardwares would be enough to overcome the cemented dominance of Intel in the CPU industry still remains. Although there can be no definite answer yet, AMD clearly has an opportunity to do well in the processor market, according to Euro Gamer.
With the increasing desire for a much better single core performance, the hype and other undisclosed details of the Zen based processor may provide users option between performance and price. In the aspect of longevity, the suggested succeeding three generation improvements for Ryzen in the coming years could entice more Intel users to switch.
That being said, AMD's chance lies in providing consumers' performance advantage and much lesser cost of premium parts. Consequently, since AMD's speculated price point would give Intel a little room for maneuvering, the newly added hardware details could help shift market's favor towards AMD.
