AMD's Ryzen CPU Release, Specs, Price: Online Leak Reveals Launching At GDC 2017

AMD fans have been waiting for the company to drop all the details about its forthcoming Ryzen CPU. Now, the American multi-national is anticipated to release the chipset at GDC 2017.

AMD has accidentally slicked the information about the Ryzen CPU, which is going be unveiled during GDC 2017. It was also noted by the publication that the GDC event runs from February 27th to March 3rd, and as of the moment, AMD doesn't give exact schedule yet, so it could be announced any day during the event, reports AnandTech.

According to WCCFTECH, AMD apparently slipped and has plans to release the Ryzen processor on February 28 it's a day after Game Developers Conference 2017 (GDC) which is on February 27.

AMD Ryzen processor has been delivered progressively by AMD. Since 2016, and the company has teased its avid fans of their next-generation processor, which boasts 16 threads across 8 physical cores that are already unlocked and overclocked right out of the box.

Although Summit Ridge 7 processors have been revealed step by step in the past weeks, lower version of Ryzen still remains in the dark. It was also known that only few details are being reported about quad-core Ryzen processors. The upcoming CPU is probable to slightly strive with Intel's $340 Core i7-6700K.

According to a Digital Trends report, AMD's timing absolutely makes sense. If they intend to launch Ryzen in the next six weeks, GDC 2017 would be a major opportunity to get developers on board and this will also help in distributing information about how to reap the benefits of the CPU.

Moreover, the entry level Ryzen CPUs has been measured as an inconceivable tool for CPU price war in distinction to Intel. With its proposed price of $150, the quad-core processors will surely leave balance sheets spilling with blood-red ink and little turning room for Intel.

The GDC Event will take place from February 27th and March 3^rd. However speculation suggests that AMD could announce Ryzen CPU during the MWC which also falls on the same date.
