    They never mentioned them because no one wants them other than OEMS that want to make cheap systems and market them as powerful computers when in fact they are almost useless other than basic tasks. I wondered how long it would be before the dusted off the Athlon name for the Ryzens's.

    Unlike the enthusiast bubble that people on sites like this live in, a lot of people have computing needs that only involve basic tasks.

    there are plenty of low power applications these processors can be used in.

    for example: look at the amount of intel baytrail and cherry trail low power cpus...in the market..in random devices from china.

    I recently bought these small machines for a client..$50 each..with a intel..cherry trail...along with 2gb of ram and 32gb..and win 10.... p.s...out of the ten i bought..6 died..haha...:

    anyways..low power cpus are nice in low power applications that don't require much power.

    companies dont market them as powerful computers, it is the sales guys and odms that market them like that.

    If u rip apart a barracuda webfilter you will find a athlon in it :) ( not sure if you knw wht tht is tho).

    cheers

    That's a very low power one, this one is 35W.

    I mean the price point is sometimes what fit about Cherry Trail, not just its TDP. This processor would compete at the same price point.

    Yet those 2c/4t Pentiums sure seem quite popular in budget builds, and this seems to be AMD's answer to that.

    It was pretty much meant to phase out the 28nm Bristol Ridge.

    There are plenty of places where they'd be useful.

    Not everything is about performance. Sometimes power is the primary driver with performance being secondary. This would be a good deal faster than any Atom or Jaguar, now lets see how they rank against an i3.

    Drop the clock down and see if we can have a dual core Ryzen running 5W or less. That would make for an interesting firewall, wireless AP, etc...

    These would be a good fit with the up-to-47W ~$15 passive heatsink mentioned in another recent article. Cheap and silent and perfectly usable...

    This to me looks like AMD's answer to the ever-popular 2c/4t Pentium chips (such as the G4560).

    Pentium vs Athlon, round...uhh, 5? 6? It's been a while...

    Derp, this was supposed to be a reply to the comment made by "rocky12345", but it seems that having javascript disabled breaks the "reply-to" function on Anandtech and just makes the resulting comment a new stand-alone comment.
  • bji - Saturday, May 26, 2018 - link

    Why the eff Anandtech doesn't just switch to Disqus like every other discussion site with any competency is beyond me.
  • Tams80 - Sunday, May 27, 2018 - link

    Disqus is a laggy mess, that insists on trying to tie in your social media accounts (not something that bothers me, but I can see others being annoyed).

    The Verge too, have their own commenting system. It's also very basic.

    Anyway, the comments here are very limited, but at least they load fast and are separate from anything else.
  • bji - Tuesday, May 29, 2018 - link

    Well I don't use social media accounts so I guess I was unaware of that shortcoming.

    Laggy mess? It is very slightly laggy I guess, but not so much that it's ever been an issue on any Disqus site I've ever used.

    It could be that the comment system is broken even with Javascript enabled. On my Drupal-based news site I hunted it down in the source, where they'd assigned the wrong variable; the end result was that if you had already made a reply it wouldn't use the new comment ID for your next reply.

    Eccocì quà finalmente! È arrivato il giorno tanto atteso: il tuo amico, parente, figlio o genitore compie gli anni e non hai idea di come fargli degli auguri speciali, vero?

    Next gen's boot kit.

    I thought AMD used the "Athlon" brand to denote processors with the L3 cache disabled.

    Los poemas y los versos puede que no estén demasiado
    de moda en estos momentos, sin embargo, lo que no se puede negar es que,
    durante décadas, e incluso siglos, fueron el mejor método de conquistar a
    las mujeres, y de conseguir enamorar al amor de tu vida.
    Por ello, quizá sea el momento de volver a poner de moda los versos cortos de amor para enamorar a una chica.
