AMD Demonstrates their new Ryzen CPU – with Blender!
AMD CEO Lisa Su demonstrated the latest AMD ‘Ryzen’ CPU during a live presentation, pitching it against the Intel Core i7-6900K. And for their very first demo they selected Blender! Check it out.

These presentations make me cringe, especially the audience applauding on demand. still fun to see Blender used by a major company though.
Me too, because this is typical Stephe Jobs style, which is so strange.
I download the demo, and I render it with the CPU and it took 1.27 minutes, the I put with my GPU and it took 1.46 So i don’t understand how it’s possible.
This is my pc:
intel i76700 3.4GHz
32 ram
MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X 8GB GDDR5X
windows 10
Did you download the Ryzen demo? Where? :)

you will get little performance gains if the GPU renders small tiles. set your render tile size to 512×512 and it will scorch it.
Is possible because of the Tiles,
Change the tiles to X: 512, and Y: 256 and you will see a big change for Gpu

On gtx 970: 19.51s (200samples) (tiles 200×200)
On gtx 970: 9.52s (100samples) (tiles 200×200)
i5 4460 CPU 3.2GHz: 49.59s (100samples) (tiles 32×32)

I want to test with the same setting that they put it.
Now I just change the setting of the tiles to 200×200 and it took 14.39 seg. So much less
Do you have a Blender 2.78a? It’s important.
It the 2.78… But tomorrow I will be available to give you the exactly version.
yes I have blender 2.78a ;D
Nice, some competiton for Intel, finaly!
But for 3D rendering, GPU stay much faster: this scene render in 10 seconds on my GTX1070 at 200 samples..
And as soon as Ryzen is released [yeah! whoop! whoop!] or just before that, what will Intel release? [awkward shuffles].
Doesn’t matter, AMD will be cheaper.
At the far lower price point compared to intel, I think these will be a huge seller!
Its just simple economics.
Amd is the innards of playstation and xbox too(cpu and gpu) as far as I know, so game consoles will also be jumping way up in performance.
Looking forward to this big time for pc!

AMD seems poised for a solid comeback, This CPU may bring me back to AMD for the first time in years, the RX line of GPU’s got me back in that for $200 I was able to score an 8GB GPU for cycles, my 3.5GB GTX 970 was struggling.
