Unkwn: Actually it really didn't do any different than the 8 core Ryzen...

Behind on IPC. Behind on frequency. More cores(6) on this part but the other R5s will be 4 core and lose by more. Basically the same promise as crapdriver: more cores for free. AMD will have to deeply discount these to get share. Which leaves them begging for table scraps like now.

Maybe AMD is even considering hopping on the 10nm train soon to improve its cost position even further.

That presumes being an early adopter of so-called 10 nm actually
reduces AMD's costs.
