AMD details 2018 plans for Ryzen CPUs

In fact it IS vigesimated

Marmitised?

They've decimated it 3.3 times over!

[3dcandy]

Lol 30% would be... trigesimated...
33% would be.... tritrigesimated

lol what a mouthful

It's a 30% drop, but when you take logs that works out to 0.9^3.3ish (since the second decimation only removes 9% of the original total, and the third 8.1%)

The price drops are interesting, because AMD was already significantly undercutting the equivalent intel models (once you factor in the inflated cost of boards that can take the latest intel chips). Maybe intel is about to release the rest of the 8th-gen motherboard stack?

They're certainly expected, and will no doubt come with some Pentium Gold parts to fill out the bottom end of the range, but I also suspect that part of this is AMD trying to clear out Ryzen 1xxx stock before the release of Ryzen 2xxx in April - June. That would also tie in to Threadripper not receiving across the board cuts, as the replacement for that won't be out until July at the earliest. The 1900X presumably gets price cut because the 2800X will be faster at a similar price.

AMD has officially released specifications for Ryzen 3 2200U and Ryzen 3 2300U mobile APUs. From the previous leak, AMD's Ryzen 3 2200U benchmarks finally released at Passmark CPU benchmark database and Passmark Videocard benchmark database. According the results published, CPU performance is somewhere between Intel's Core i7-7500U and Intel's Core i7-7600U, while integrated GPU performance is somewhere between Intel's Iris Plus 640 and Intel's HD630. There's also Ryzen 3 2300U benchmark result at GFXBench benchmark database. Do note that these are most likely still (internal) engineering samples as they have not been used in any currently available products yet.
