AMD新锐龙处理器——一次巨大的飞跃和一个真正的竞争者



AMD just officially unveiled its Ryzen desktop processor family, a chip that it says can compete with Intel's chips at long last. AMD's last generation of desktop chips was disappointing, and has been largely relegated to low-end computers. But Ryzen manages a 52 percent boost in instructions per cycle (IPC) over last time, which puts it on a level playing field with the best Intel has to offer.

AMD官方刚刚发布了其新一代锐龙系列桌面处理器，其性能据称能与英特尔的芯片抗衡。AMD的上一代桌面级处理器是令人失望的，其产品大都是低端机的选择。但是锐龙的IPC性能提升达到了52%，这也使得它能与最好的英特尔芯片同台竞技。



The Ryzen family will come in multiple flavors, but the high-end Ryzen 7 is shipping first. The chip has eight cores and 16 threads, and starts at $329. At the top end is the 3.6GHz (4.0GHz turbo), $499 Ryzen 7 1800X, which compares well with Intel's $1,050 i7-6900K. According to AMD's benchmarks, the 1800X ties the 6900K on singlethreaded benchmarks, and beats Intel on multithreaded performance.

锐龙系列也会分为几个档次，由高端的R7系列领衔，其拥有这八核十六线程，起售价为329美元。其中售价499美元的R7 1800X 3.6GHz(睿频4.0GHz)，将会和英特尔售价1050美元的 i7-6900K竞争。根据AMD官方跑分来看，1800X的单线程成绩与6900K相当而多线程表现更优。



AMD uses a few hundred more megahertz to get there, which means AMD isn't doing quite as much as Intel Broadwell per hertz. But it's the end result that matters, and AMD is claiming to match or beat Intel across the spectrum with better prices — the dream scenario, basically.

AMD这次用了一个略高于Intel的频率，因此它的同频性能可能不如Intel的Broadwell，但是AMD仍旧可以利用定价区间的优势与之竞争甚至取胜——当然，这一切是建立在AMD按照预定的计划做的基础上。

The new processors are available for preorder now, and will ship on March 2nd. AMD is promising to have plenty of inventory and a ton of motherboard options at launch. It's a lot of promises, AMD! Hopefully Ryzen can deliver, and we can get a real fight in the desktop market, which will be wonderful for anybody not named "Intel."

新的处理器现在已经开始预订了，将会在三月二号正式发售。AMD保证说将会有充足的库存和大量的主板发售。这真是一个了不起的承诺。希望锐龙能够尽快投入桌面级市场，这对我们所有A饭来说都是个好消息。


Looking at AMD’s stock surge in the last year, they’re betting everything on this, very promising indeed. Perfect time to upgrade my i7 950 methinks

看看AMD前些年的股票简直就像坐过山车一样，这一次他们可以说是孤注一掷了，确实很值得期待。我想是时候升级我的i7 950 了。

I told everyone to buy in a month or so ago and I tried to get in, but instead of buying at 9.75, I was waiting for 9.50…it never came and I missed the boat. I’m a dumbo.

一个月甚至更早以前我就跟人说要买入AMD股票，我一直在等9.50这个点位而没有在9.75时买入。。。现在机会失不再来，我真是个傻瓜。

Great news !

搞个大新闻！

I remember going with an Athlon back for my college build in 2003. I haven’t used AMD since the Core years because Intel has just been undeniably better. I’m  come back to AMD if they can match the performance.

我记得2003年我上大学的时候用过速龙，之后由于酷睿系列好的无可挑剔，我便没有再用过AMD的产品。现在如果AMD能够拿出一款性能相当的产品，我也有意回归。

Yes and no. If you did a lot of multitasking, an FX 6300 overclocked or an FX 83×0 (stock or overclocked) were better than i5 Sandy/Ivy. (meaning CPUs for the same price)

不管你承不承认，如果你非要问的话，FX6300超频和FX8300系列（默频或超频）都比童佳文的Sandy/Ivy 架构的I5要好。

I’m so happy for competition in the desktop.

乐于见到桌面级产品的竞争。

Well except Intel basically admitted they stopped caring about the desktop CPUs. So it’s going to be quickly a one-sided competition again pretty quickly IMO.

英特尔只是太久不关心桌面级产品的升级而已，在我看来一边倒的竞争格局依然很快就会再次出现。

They stopped caring because they knew they didn’t have to compete. Microsoft stopped caring about IE when Netscape died, but they certainly care now (Edge is actually really good.) Intel’s going to have to compete if they want to survive now.

英特尔不关心是因为它知道它不需要面临竞争。微软在Netscape死后也不在开发IE了，不过他们现在又做了（Edge用起来很不错）
英特尔如果想要生存的话，就必须直面未来的竞争。

Everybody mew Ryzen was coming. I doubt they will suddenly care again. Either they are already ready (which I kind of doubt honestly), or they will just have to drop their prices to try and stay "competitive".

每个人都知道锐龙要来了。我怀疑英特尔也就是暂时关心一下。我真的怀疑它早就准备好了后手，或者说只是调整一下价格策略来应对“竞争”。

The lucky thing for AMD is that the next Intel desktops CPUs are still basically Skylake v3, while AMD’s next CPUs will have 10% higher IPC over Ryzen.

幸运的是Intel下一代处理器最多也就是Skylake的小改而AMD的下代CPU还会有10%的提升。

I’m very excited for Raven Ridge, the mobile platform. It’s rumored to have a Vega graphics core and operate with less power than an Intel U-Series, but offer the same processor performance and PS4 class graphics on an ultrabook!

我倒是很期待下代Raven Ridge的APU以及移动平台，传言它将会有着织女星架构的核显和比Intel低电压系列更低的功耗表现，同时能在超极本的机身上提供和PS4一级的性能表现。

They abandoned atom, they failed mobile and they are going to stop caring about desktop..? What the hell are they going to do..? Sell potato chips..? The only market left is Server market.. There too ARM is making its way and AMD themselves might consider moving in..

Intel抛弃了Atom系列，移动平台也宣告失败，同时还在桌面级领域挤牙膏。他们到底在干些什么？卖薯片吗？Intel仅存的服务器市场，ARM和AMD也要有所动作。

Hmmmm maybe time to upgrade from my 2500K

嗯，是时候升级我的2500K了。

Everyone is excited about some real competition in the desktop processor space, myself included, but if you think Intel is going to take this laying down you’re crazy. I highly doubt Intel doesn’t have appreciably more performance available, regardless of the apparent death of Moore’s Law.

我和所有人一样，也很期待桌面级市场的竞争，但是如果你觉得Intel会松口那你一定是疯了，
我高度怀疑不管摩尔定律死不死，Intel还会挤牙膏。

While that’s true, paying less than half for comparable (or better) performance than the top-end Intel chip is still exciting.

确实是，不到半数的花费就能获得比Intel旗舰更好的性能，想想都带感。

These figures still need to be taken with a grain of salt, as they haven’t been independently verified just yet.

我对这些东西仍然将信将疑，尤其是目前我们还没有第三方的独立评测、

if you think Intel is going to take this laying down you’re crazy"
You just defined competition!

你在否认竞争。

I’m not sure they will do much actually. They are focusing more and more on server and mobile processors.

我不确定Intel会做的那种程度，目前他们似乎更关心移动端和服务器。

The so-called death of Moore’s Law is just the result of lack of competition, which means Intel can drag their feet in the evolution in the PC CPU space. If this AMD competition does make a significant dent on Intel’s market share, they will turn the engine back on from dormant state.

那些宣称的“摩尔定律的死亡”恰恰就是缺乏竞争的结果，缺乏竞争使得Intel可以放慢电脑CPU进化的脚步。如果AMD能显着削减Intel的市场份额，那么他们一定会在这个争夺激烈的领域重新发力。
