I'm looking forward to the benchmarks since the performance per watt of the desktop parts (Ryzen R7) seems to be really good. Quite curious how it will compare against Skylake-EP.

A quote from a anandtech forum post [0] reads promising:

"850 points in Cinebench 15 at 30W is quite telling. Or not telling, but absolutely massive. Zeppelin can reach absolutely monstrous and unseen levels of efficiency, as long as it operates within its ideal frequency range."

A comparison against a Xeon D at 30W would be interesting.

The possibility of this monster maybe coming out sometime in the future is also quite nice: http://www.computermachines.org/joe/publications/pdfs/hpca20...
