We already warned you that AMD is preparing for the launch of its new Summit Ridge processors at the beginning of the year, finally its presentation will be on January 17 and in style, since this time it is expected that the AMD chips are at the height of the almighty Intel, to offer users exceptional performance at a very competitive price.

AMD Summit Ridge on sale on January 17, will compete with the Core i7 6850K

It is expected that the new AMD Summit Ridge SR3, SR5 and SR7 processors will be announced on January 17, the latest range being the most powerful and the one that will have the mission of fighting with the best Intel processors. The more powerful AMD SR7 processor is expected to have an 8-core, 16-wire configuration to deliver equivalent performance to the Intel Core i7 6850K, a 6-core, 16-thread processor. If this is confirmed AMD will not have managed to achieve the performance per core of Intel but it will not be too far away and it could be a real alternative to Intel in the high range.

We recommend our guide to the best processors on the market.

The most striking thing is that the AMD SR7 processor will have an official price of $ 300, something that would be a great blow on the table since its performance will be equivalent to the Intel Core i7 6850K which has a price close to $ 700, we are talking that Sunnyvale's will offer us the same performance as Intel's highest range for a price that is less than half what the Intel chip costs.

AMD's 8-core, 16-wire processor will hit base and turbo operating frequencies of 3.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz respectively, expected to feature good overclocking capabilities and be capable of 4.2 GHz, not bad for a 8-core physical unit and a huge number of transistors.
