AMD has been off the radar ever since the company shocked the tech world with a preview of an octa-core Zen-based processor that can essentially go head-to-head with Intel's octa-core Broadwell E processor. Many tech analysts are convinced that AMD's Zen architecture will usher a new dawn of CPU war between the company and Intel which has stood uncontested for the better part of the decade, according to PC World.

AMD's New Horizon event will be hosted by notable video game journalist Geoff Keighley. Based on the public invite from AMD, "DOTA 2" professional player and Evil Geniuses captain PPD will also be at the event, according to Tom's Hardware.

There are rumors that AMD will shed some light on the quad-core variant of the Zen processor at the event. A series of leaked documents revealed that AMD is planning to release four Zen-based processors in the Summit Ridge family early next year. Moreover, two of the rumored processors have eight-cores with Simultaneous Multi-Threading capability.

Several leaks have also revealed AMD's pricing scheme for its Zen-based processors. If the rumors are true, Intel is poised for a very aggressive price challenge once AMD rolls out its new products. A high-end octa-core processor from AMD is rumored to be priced around $500. Another octa-core processor with a slower clock speed is priced at $350.

AMD is pushing the boundaries of competition even further by pricing its six-core SR5 for only $250, and the quad-core SR3 for only $150. In comparison, Intel's cheapest six-core processor costs upwards of $350.
