Finally some competition. I cant wait to see this on Server. More Cores and Memory capacity no longer capped by expensive CPU from Intel.
Memory capacity limit? The Intel Xeon E7-4809 supports 3 terabytes of memory. I don't know servers, but does anyone have a need for more than a terabyte of memory outside of supercomputing?
I was going to say that is on an expensive E7, but it turns out there are inexpensive E5 support up to 1.54TB memory. The E3 is capped to only 64GB though.
If this leak is legit, it means zen will be competitive at the same clock rate as intel's current cpus.
This metric is not very relevant. The main point of interest is absolute price and price/performance ratio.
If AMD's newest offering outperforms Intel's offerings but ends up being more expensive, all cost/benefit analysis will point against AMD.
Price/performance is king, because lower price also means the ability to buy more.

From what I've seen, it looks like it'll compete with Intel HEDT parts at a lower price. This should be great for consumers as hopefully Intel will massively drop the prices on those >4-core CPUs.
