AMD - The Future is Zen 

1 and half year ago you predicted it. Still this is one of my favorite video .

"16 core for at least a couple of thousend dollers" man i am happy you were so wrong! ryzen threadripper is glorious!

For the first time in a decade, I am curious about an AMD CPU. This is a good day. Great video!

Really happy for AMD. Their GPU and CPU market seem like they are both about to make major breakthroughs

5 years later watching this video. Seeing the tables being turned and witnessing it over the years was incredible. Well done AMD

Watching this in September 2017 and I'm really happy for AMD, seeing what they actually achieved !

I'm definitely waiting for Zen. Intel is way too expensive and their dodgy practices should make people sit up and take notice. Boycott Intel.

Rewatching your old videos about AMD after Zen2 and Navi came out. This was unthinkable of only a few years ago.

Watching this after having seen Ryzen succeed. I can't help but be super happy.

I agree completely. I made a video on my channel that theoretically compares AMD Zen to current Intel architecture and it matches with what you're saying. I believe Zen will succeed despite Bulldozer. The company seems to be out for blood right now and they're making all the right moves to secure a better market position. Plus we have DX12. If they just price their products competitively, they won't have any issues staying in the game - even if they're a tad slower. Keep up the good work man!

Amusing in retrospect how you hadn't considered that maybe they'd put *four* cores in one package, but you were dead-on for everything else!

If Zen is badass, Intel will have to lower their prices, so ultimately, the consumer wins!

This aged so well! This was part of my research in buying 15000 shares. I’m happy ver happy

This was super in depth and helpful, thank you and have a wonderful day!

There's a little bit of the history left out here. A little more detail into the History of AMD CPUs ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LKxzYFU5a_U.html

@AdoredTV you are on fire. I'm hooked on all the videos you bring out, and the narrating is just amazing with your accent. Amazing stuff. THANK YOU!

Just watched this again. You were proved so right here!!

We have come a long way jim . Thanks

These are amazing videos. You go extremely in depth with each topic and have very little bias, keep up the great work! ;-)

First video of yours I've seen, instantly subscribed. Great voice and accent and excellent knowledge and explanation for those not incredibly well versed.

Great video, keep it up!

Also, I wanted to comment that I cannot agree more with ypur thoughts about Zen. Oh and that I really enjoy listening to you (I also find your accent very pleasing, even though my first languaje is Spanish).

Absolutely brilliant analysis! Two thumbs way up! I love the way your argument didn't hinge on a single factor, but rather you gave detailed thought to several market indicators, very informative.

LOVE your videos, just watched the Polaris vs Pascal Part 1 and now this. Keep up the amazing work :D

Jim, you should do a short follow up to this specific video ;-)

I have always been impressed with AMD, yes I started off with Intel, but as time went on, I learned how to build my own computers and started to use AMD processors because they cost less money and worked well. Over the years I have mainly used AMD, but I have also used Intel in between. Honestly, within the last 10 years I never saw much of a difference in performance between the two companies, especially with both companies flagship products. In 2012, I stopped using Intel and went back to AMD's FX processors and have been using them since. I saved a lot of money going with AMD and never had any issues with performance. AMD Radeon video cards are also excellent. I am hoping that AMD Zen will be a huge upgrade for the PC world, it's about time we move forward.

Really in-depth and interesting video, brought up some topics I haven't thought of before. Great video I really enjoyed!

Wow, this was very smooth and informative. I felt like I learned tons and you almost made me get a decent grasp on all this technical stuff. Sub'd.

this is why i refuse to buy or actually recommend an Intel CPU unless its absolutely necessary (ex; heavily CPU-sensitive work) these fucking greedy cheaters dont deserve my money

It's funny cause Intel did just sit there and take the beat down. Nvidia on the other hand....

You do such an excellent job of taking a lot of deep dive technical info, and surfacing just the most important parts for guys like me. Keep it up!

Thanks for the rundown of the Ship, Scotty!

This video has aged like a fine wine.

You were right on 98% of your assessment of Zen back than

love the video.very detailed.I'm just wondering,when is the second part of pascal vs polaris video coming?

I already watched this video earlier today as I subscribe to AdoredTV but I was on Reddit and it was on my front page so I up voted it. It is a great video and typical of this content creator... insightful, intelligent, well thought out with a very good presentation.

Love your accent, love your content. Hope you continue to do videos like this :)

Nice video, but dat accent though.

Really well made video! Got me hyped for the next round of chips.

Really good analysis, and I hope the best for AMD and your channel

This is top notch stuff mate, thank you!

I've been holding out for Zen... it had better be good otherwise I have been holding onto my Phenom II X4 for all this time in vain XD

Nice video m8, very imformative. You have just hyped this up for me now!!!!

+adoredtv I just love how accurate you always are. Good damn love your videos...keep up the quality. I don't mind the wait.

favorite part of the video: "If anyone can mess this up, it's AMD." Cross your fingers that this isn't another failure, I'm pulling for AMD this year.

SCOTSMAAAAAAN!

another great video! so glad I found this channel. keep up the great work!

Loving these videos about chip design and market practices. Great information.

pretty ballsy review at the time, crystal ballsy!

As long as AMD does well in benchmarks, it's going to be good ... f*ck Bulldozer and Excavator.

Glad I found this channel. Have learnt a lot about AMD and nVidia in the past day or so of subscribing. Great videos, keep it up man.

Man, i really enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you do. thank you. subbed :)

If you had bought $1000 of AMD stock when this video was released (~$2), today (4/9/20) it would be worth $24,190

You deserve more Subscribers my friend. :)

Great informative video. Can't wait to see what this year brings in terms of new CPUs.

What a fantastic informative video :) subbed for more of this content in the future!

I've never bought an AMD chip, but I'm really rooting for them. Intel has become too dominate in the market and has genuinely upset me by who they support and their dirty dealings over the years. The best thing that could happen to the CPU market is for AMD to dominate Intel this upcoming round and force Intel to start caring again.

It's what I've been thinking for years now! Lose the integrated graphics from the CPU and use it for extra core's, OR...simply make current chips smaller and cheaper. People who run dedicated graphic cards don't use the integrated graphics and people that do, should be better off with a $€100 cheaper Intel CPU and buying a budget $€30 graphics card. So, I wholeheartedly support AMD for NOT integrating the graphics into their ZEN chips!

Another great video carefully put together.. Keep up the good work.

this is how good a prediction can get.. and mate you were spot on.. sound analysis with substance.. thanks :)

AMD is winning to some extent with APUs - decent CPU performance with better integrated GPU performance than Intel. AMD is also winning with a percentage of price-sensitive customers with cheap FM2+ builds with 880K, for example. To win, they need to win on price. If you can buy a Zen CPU that is equivalent in games to an i5 for less money they have a chance. If they have a high end CPU with 16 cores that is more like a Xeon than i7 then that could win over power users too. AMD also needs to have vendors offering competitive AM4 motherboards with all the bells and whistles of the current crop of Z170 boards - .e.g. M.2, CrossFire/SLI, lots of USB 3. If you can get a Zen CPU and AM4 motherboard for a good chunk less than Intel + Z170, they can win back some market share.

finally I can get rid of T-800 Chip

Great video. Very informative and enjoyable at the same time

Nice upload, very informative. Where's the "nano matters" video you referred to?

i hope the intel fanboys can handle this

I am buying Zen, AMD for life!

I appreciate how much research you did to clearly explain the issues with amd. keep up the good work dude!!

wow, impressive. I was glued for 21mins. What i can say, an easy subscribe. Thanks for the video.

I had to kick my 8350 up to 4.8ghz with water-cooling just to alleviate some bottle necking with the Fury I recently acquired. He's such a little trooper, still going strong with thermal throttling disabled. Yeah he still drags his feet and costs me ~10 frames in games, but that's ok, I will run him into the ground before upgrading mobo and cpu next year. He will die a proud, glorious fiery death ya ken? :P

I want a Zen CPU now.

Fantastic video ! I do hope you mention AMD's use of HSA compute, That is where they will take off

I applaude you for factoring in manufacturing data, I was greatly surprised when you showed the different FF technologies.

I'm currently using an OC'D 8350, even if zen is 50% faster, I have no need to upgrade. My 8350 does everything i need it to do and i still max out games with 0 stutter. I paid 100$ my 8350,and do not regret it.

I was seriously considering jumping the gun and replacing my FX-6300 with an Intel Broadwell or Skylake, but this video has convinced me to wait and see if Zen is any good. I freaking love your videos man!!

thank you for decrypting all the future gaming hardware information for us, as always very informative videos. I do have a question for you. Have you heard of 3D XPoint(compatible with latest intel cpu only) that is supposedly coming on Optane SSD later this year, and eventually for new desktop ram memory. Would you think this would benefit game loading time as SSD did moving from HD? Or is this only for big server datacenter use, and us Desktop hardware consumers will not be able to afford it. Just to give you a brief background on my end. I have build this Desktop computer about 7 years ago i7 920 2.66G CPU, GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P, 18gb DDR3, Samsung SSD 840 Pro with Nvidia 670 OC I do plan to build a new computer from scratch for when Star Citizen will be released(beginning of 2017 or so) Who ever gets top benchmark for this game i will buy their hardware from, i sure do hope so that AMD will be the winner. Before my 670 i did have AMD card, and id love to go back to AMD and give them my support so we have a healthy competition. Im sorry for the huge wall of text. Thank you in advance AdoredTV Merlin007

Again, incredibly informative, clean and straight up facts. Not opinions or being biased. Love your stuff dude, seriously awesome.

So you were right :D

I'm just waiting on Zen APUs with HBM on die

It's now October 2018. Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Here's hoping Zen 2 keeps it going!

Good video mate, I'm hoping for more competition and I'm hoping that in the future we can actually see some innovation in the market.

Shh my fx-4100 shh your not that bad. You only eat alot.

But doesn't amd have xbox and ps4 ? does the market share chart use this information ?

I learn so much watching these. The information is amazing.

another fine research and great documentary shall i say..well done sir!

I'm still using Athlon 64 X2..

How about marketing? A whole lot of noobs never heard of AMD

with the new information released today I am very excited to see your next Zen video!!! Was a big day . . . Zen beating broadwell E in blender @3.0ghz . . . was not expecting that . . .

Hey man! I found a GeForce 690 for 200$ do you think this is a good price per performance (for my first computer build). And would this card be good on newer hardware (motherboard/cup) or should I get older models for it? Btw love your videos!

I love your accent. Where you from?

And 3 years later zen is kicking intel ARSSSS 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Another great, enjoyable and informative as expected. Seriously keep up the amazing job. On another notice btw. why would you say that the cpu market has not made any leaps in the past 5 years? And more importantly, I would like to know the context around that statement. Do you mean that the desktop grade cpus have been kept around the same level of performance? To some extent i could agree that we don't notice a big performance increase in the past generations. But it's more that cpus were already fast enough to handle most demanding processes, so intel focused on smaller dies lower power consumption and more IPCs rather than raw clock speed (which saw a descent increase as well). Going however to much smaller processors (laptops tablets etc.) or top of the line products( server grade gear a.k.a xeons) we see a tremendous increase in power efficiency, core count and raw performance which was mainly achieved through higher IPCs. Going over to the other side and team red. I have been watching the cpu market for quite some time, and well zen is the big thing everyone is expecting. Personally i think that it has to do much more with real competition entering the market rather than the fact that amd is going to be able to outpower intel either on single core performance or overall performance. Let us not forget about the rumours on intel's new architecture on 10 nm which could blow amd out of the water which appears to be on it's final breath in the cpu market. I want zen to be successful and the pc market NEEDS it to be succesful but to be frank it seems like a double-edged knife. Amd looks like they have had a respectable budget with this new product lineup, one that they could possible have not been able to afford, and who is to say that intel doesn't just buyout the market once again and shut-down competition once and for all. I would like to hear you expand on the subject for it is something that i didn't see on the video(quite understendably since it was mainly an informative piece on the new cpu rather than the status of the market.)

Start of May 2018. This is why I adore your TV. It's excellent.

over here with my old ass 8350 wanting to get my god damned new cpu cause intel is cancer

I can get over the accent until he keeps saying "Chap" for chip...

As usual! Fantastic video! Keep up the good work :)

Nice vid. Slight correction: there won't be APUs (CPUs with integrated graphics) _initially_. But they'll come around with updated graphics in due time. Would certainly be nice for notebooks. And kind of a wish: if I could get 8-core Zen with Ivy Bridge single-thread performance under 45W in my socket - I'd feel set.

Have to say this was really good info, well prepared, congrats!!!

never had a decent pc until recently and it came with the fx-4100 bulldozer, compared to the old pc this chip was soo refreshing and fast as hell I fell in love with it. never needed an upgrade makes me wonder how much faster an intel chip would be. very informative video I learned a lot about cpu's

You are definitely my new favorite tech RU-vidr. Keep up the good work!

@AdoredTV /+AdoredTV Do you think that in the future we will see bigger CPUs, and CPU slots since we got to the phisical limts of silicon/silicium ( we cant get them any smaller), so maybe the manufactures will need to make bigger blocks to hold more processing power and get faster results.
