Lovely news! This is my next CPU after many years of my trusty [email protected] GHz. Last time I waited for the second revision of the architecture to avoid the usual launch hurdles. Christmas is apparently coming in April this year.

Same here. As a web developer and gamer it's hard to ignore the Intel lineup, but I'm a big fan of supporting the under-dog, and it makes it easy when there's so much value packed in.

I assume that motherboards with new chipsets will be released as well, but I've heard less about them.

The Ryzen 2 lineup should work on the same AM4 socket, AMD claims that the newer X470 chipset will give better performance.

FX-6300 over here. Been waiting to upgrade for a while and looking forward one of these new AMD cpus.
