[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

Thanks mate and it's good to be back, I had to re-register but that's understandable all things considered. As for Zen the future looks a bit on the bleak side if you ask me, there are a couple of benchies floating round that show the i3 6100 CPU keeping up with and sometimes getting ahead of the FX 8320E.

Of course Intel could shit a brick and put a stop to this as it may impact the sale of their K series CPU's but then why would they? And how? It's the motherboard manufactures that have come up with this little humdinger after all, completely independent of any Intel influence.

Interesting!  I wonder if BCLK overclocking is as stable as it used to be with the older CPU's from several years ago (i.e., as stable as changing the multiplier, at pretty high BCLK like 140MHz or so for the same end result)? 

FX 8320E just sucks real badly.  32nm is ancient now.  Look at the 0.1% time results in games (stuttering).  Overclocking also makes it go like this:

(eating electricity like mad and hot)

I'm hoping that AMD can stun the world like ATI did with their 9700 Pro.
