>Without a shadow of doubt the Zen microarchitecture is the big winner here. In nearly every situation it proved itself to be the equal to the best Intel has to offer. It is fast, efficient and almost infinitely scalable to provide a platform upon which AMD can build a wide range of enthusiast, professional and mainstream solutions. Zen is everything that people hoped Bulldozer would be and then some. Considering where they were just two short years ago this is an achievement of monumental proportions for AMD.
>The foundational strengths of Zen have led to the Ryzen 7 1800X becoming what it is today: one of the best processors that money can buy. Right now it is impossible to find a CPU that can power through heavily threaded workflows so well while costing so little. Professionals and prosumers alike will appreciate everything that the 1800X can bring to the table, especially when you consider how much cash can be saved versus the i7-6900K.
Even challenges the $1700 10 core in some situations.
This says it all, a 1700x for work and some i5 for gaming.
Pretty much, 1700x is good enough if not great for gaming in value terms but sometimes loses to the 17 7700k. However across the board it wins, I can't wait for the i5 competition r5.
Luis Stewart
>gaming Its weaker in gaming, get something else cheaper, you don't buy a 6900k or 6950x for gaming.
For workstation stuff it's good ,low power and cheap. That's real nice but for gaming and only gaming get a Intel
Logan Martin
You can game on it but it's not 360noscope-tier. So nogo for 144hz.
Jayden Cruz
Intel's prosumer overpriced chips getting sandbagged for a third of the price.
>if not great for gaming in value terms >$50-100 more than an i7 >gets beat by both the 6700k and 7700k >great in value terms
I don't get it.
Logan Peterson
He literally said NOT great in value terms. Better sign up for some more English lessons, Ranjit.
Charles Rogers
I like the R7 but I really would have liked for AMD to launch an R5 quad core as well. The R7s are all out of my range but the performance looks promising so far.
Angel Reyes
>is good enough if not great for gaming in value terms >He literally said NOT great in value terms.
I think you're the one that needs English lessons, "Good enough, if not great" doesn't mean "not great"
Jace Murphy
You're literally retarded. He was saying that the chip is good for gaming, if not great value. Sure, his punctuation sucks, but the meaning is blantantly obvious.
David Butler
"Good enough, if not great" means if(!great){return good;} else{return great}
John Roberts
Again, the "good enough" part was referring to its gaming performance, not its value proposition. I'm staggered that anybody can read that post and have trouble with this.
Joseph Bailey
How in the fuck is a CPU that's $100 more expensive than an i7 6700k but performs worse a good value for gaming? That makes literally no sense.
Jeremiah Cruz
HE'S NOT SAYING IT'S GOOD VALUE. HE'S SAYING ITS PERFORMANCE IS GOOD (subjective) AND SPECIFICALLY THAT IT'S
N O T
GOOD VALUE COMPARED TO THE 7700K DESPITE THAT.
You're really making me think that Pajeets aren't a meme here.
Nathan Peterson
for starters you shouldn't be purchasing these if your primary focus is gaming.
Brody Hughes
in standard english, "x, if not y" means "it's at least x, but could be y" in most circumstances
Connor Martinez
Found the retard.
At the end of the day boys and girls, only in very specific situations it has the power to beat a 6900k. I believe most people haven't tried it out of synthetic benchmarks, but I believe that processor will prove itself to be terrible for 3D rendering or just really high level animations as physics scores for the entire Ryzen line-up sucked massive cocks (that is also represented in the poor gayming performance). Streaming is also a no-go , with AyyMD just showing us how completely retarded their streaming demos were back in the day. Couple that up with the fact that it has fewer pcie lanes, not even something that resembles the proprietary technologies intel is providing in the near future (netflix in 4k, optane and the like) and no support for higher frequency memory and you have a 6850k with huge trade-offs only so you can beat the 6900k in every specific situations by irrelevant time gains (and not even coming close to a 6800k in some others). Overall, this processor makes no sense. I can elaborate further if required.
Parker White
In everything except for gaming, of course, which are the majority of the people that would be interested in hardware at this price anyhow.
Of course, Sup Forums will deny it because they're desperately grasping onto AMD and Linux to hold together their fragile hipster ego.
Ryan Torres
Papa, tell us more!

Ryzen is the best productivity CPU that has been released for atleast a decade
Amazing power consumption Amazing multi-threaded workload ---- Comperable to Intel in core/thread for core/thread Good single threaded power --- Broadwell-E singlethread for lower power and heat, specially amazing for server farms and office enviroments where you don't even think about OC Amazingly low heat generation --- Literally for the first time there is an actual 65W TDP serverfarm capable CPU Amazingly priced ---- Literally half the price of every Intel CPU for core/thread for core/thread
Only think AMD needs to do is to get together with MOBO manufacturers and get this RAM speed thing fixed and there you have it,
Toyota Corolla of Productivity CPUs.
Landon Brooks
Does anyone have that image that was a screenshot of twitter or someone where someone posted a 100ns+ memory latency result on Aida64 Cache & Memory Benchmark and someone replied saying that they had the same and there was an update that dropped it down around 25ns?
I can't find it.
Levi Carter
Btw, any mobos that fixed the RAM speed things? My office needs new machines for rendering and I am thinking of a 1700 but I don't know if there are 3200 MHz 32GB ram supported motherboards.
Noah Ward
>Professionals and prosumers alike will appreciate everything that the 1800X can bring to the table, especially when you consider how much cash can be saved versus the i7-6900K. Professionals buy prebuilts from established brand manufacturers. These don't use AMD tech, because AMD has a hard time keeping the supply chain saturated. It sucks when your PC build line stops, because AMD is late again in delivering the ordered amount of CPUs. So nobody will ever find AMD Ryzen inside his machine except gamers with their makeshift builds and cheaply made discount toasters sold over eBay.
Jaxson Carter
>That img bait...
Ryzen seems to have better TDP and power consumption than Kabylakes, if they can get the mobile A/CPUs by the end of this year they will take a good chunk of mobile market from Intel actually.

Considering Apple has already been using AMD mobile GPUs wherever possible don't be surprised when the next Mac Pro/Macbooks end up featuring Ryzen proccessors, they cost less and offer the same performance. Apple likes money, it's a no brainer for them.
Ethan Murphy

Justin Rogers
>if they can get the mobile A/CPUs by the end of this year they will take a good chunk of mobile market from Intel actually Or not, because no manufacturer integrates them risking AMD fucking up yield again. You know it's pretty expensive, when you have tens of thousands of ready made laptop mainboards lying around, which are all missing the CPU, because AMD didn't deliver enough.
Logan Anderson
I can tell the difference between 60 and 100 or 120.
But I can't tell the difference usually between 120 and 144, and still rarely can tell the difference between 100 and 144 unless it's a super fast paced game like a racing game where you see the ground moving fast beneath you.
100-120 is good for me. I'll probably get a 100hz 3440z1440 for my next monitor once HDR10 monitors come out and are decent color gamut coverages.
Cameron Turner
They aren't even using their own foundries anymore
Brayden Gray
>equal Isn't newer things supposed to be better, not just equal?
Angel Hernandez
Was really looking forward to dropping my 4690K but meh not worth the price of CPU, motherboard, and RAM
Michael Fisher
Apple seems to be fine with using AMD GPUs, hell they go out of their way and use them when even their fanbase would be happier with Nvidia pro setup than an AMD one.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, specially considering that for mobile, TDP and power consumption comes before anything else. When AMDs 8/16 CPU has lower power and TDP than Intel's 4/8 ones, they will get very good market share from Intel. ıt's quite obvious. Specially in ''cool, thing I am a pro faggot'' laptops.
William Edwards
Like you AMDrones don't understand that AMD were promoting their ryzen chips for gaming, streaming, and all that other garbage. Plus they were just being compared to intels 6800k, 6900k and so on.
Nolan Clark
>prosumers Is that a massive typo or soe word people made up to tlk about a higher tier of consumer
Dominic Rivera
I remember a video that showed that it was better to get ryzen for streaming games but it seems like you'd be better off doing a separate machine for encoding with an i5 in your main tower. It's disappointing.
Landon Thomas
They beat 6800 and 6900k in productivity...
With lower power consumption with lower TDPs
Parker Rivera
>gets beat by both the 6700k and 7700k In some tests but it wins in a lot of other tests. Look at the reviews, it provides a great value for the people who is looking for a processor in that price range.
Colton Morgan

Alexander Martinez

Evan Collins
It's a fancy word for workstation and hobo server/hosting
Eli Sullivan
So AMD is still 2nd best then?
Dominic Powell
But user at least Ryzen has made sure that Skylake X will be much cheaper. That makes this meme all worth it.
Oliver Moore
No, because it can actually beat the 10 core $1700 part as well in multithreaded stuff.
Your best depends on workload. The 6950X isn't Intel's absolute best, those are it's 24(32 Skylake) Xeonsand AMD's will be the 32 core next quarter.
Cooper Price
why would you do any of that with GPU acceleration though?
are you literally praising Intel for wasting money on something better done on a GPU?
Liam Foster
apple has been hinting at removing shitel from their supply line anyhow with in-house ARM shit. so it makes sense.
Juan Edwards
LMAO THIS IS SUCH AN OBVIOUS PAID SHILL THREAD
RYZEN IS A COMPLETE FAILURE
Connor Murphy
>9 fps faster than a 8370
oh wow
Michael Myers
AMD doesn't run the Ryzen fabs you dunce.
Camden Brown
Why do you parade this one benchmark like it is the be all end all? It is only one benchmark and is not relevant to the point that zen is good for multitasking.
Connor Smith
Just post the bench collection where it equals or beats a 6950X, that usually shuts these idiots up.
Adrian Bennett
>9 fps faster than a 8370 Which is how you can tell the benchmark is bullshit.
They probably ran it with busted RAM.
Adrian Morris
These benchmark don't mean much to me, I don't game in 1080p and I usually run a bunch of software in the background when gaming. Sometines even (iddle) VM's.
I want to see some more realistic benches but it still is clear to me that getting a 1700 is the way of the future. More cores, more tasks. Also, the only games that perform "significantly" better on 7700k right now are the older ones optimised for dual core.
Also, a lot of reviewrs had problems with memory stuck at 2400 asn dtill had decent results for the money. I'll wait for more in depth reviews when better firnwares and OS patches are out. Not that I need a new computer or anything but I will next year.
Samuel Nguyen
Complete failure ???
Grow up dude, it's well worth the money, it all depend on your application.
Keep in mind that a complete Ryzen package cost less than the equivalent intel.
Landon Ramirez
.>I believe Good to know that your opinions outweigh facts.
Result in a mere 9pfs? I would agree with your assessment that the chart is showing some odd results.
Matthew Scott
So does it support 24 hyper threads?
Gavin Myers
I am still saying that 6950x has no place in the consumer market. Maybe for scientists, but not for consumers to buy. You said yourself user, at that point you may as well just get a Xeon.
Jaxson Martin
>for scientists,
No ECC support..
Grayson Martin
You get pretty close with a 1800X though. Make no mistake though, people do indeed buy the 6950X because no small amount of private and public people need the cores.
Mason Evans
>Ryzen crushes Intel in Rise of the Tomb Raider in every other website's benchmarks >random anomalous bench from a website that hasn't been relevant since the NVIDIA 7000 series back in 2005

Brody Wilson
But seriously what is it's purpose in the consumer market. It is characterised as a i7 CPU which is for the consumers/enthusiasts. What can a 6950x do that a 24 core Xeon can't do?
Cameron Williams
The Sup Forumsigger brain doesn't comprehend ECC memory.
Jeremiah Morales
That's unknown at this time.
GPU driver overhead is huge. Drivers that are optimized for bulldozer aren't going to perform well on Ryzen.
Once updated drivers are released, people are gonna be surprised.
Nicholas Hall
It's what Sup Forumsiggers literally think.
Luis Nelson
>hintinh The only who has said that is a fucking ¨apple analyst¨
Adam Garcia
You are retarded right?
Owen Harris
user you try to make me kill myself later. Wtf would a 1700 dollar CPU not have ECC support?
Eli Powell
Cause you're supposed to buy the $2500 Xeon with the $500 motherboard :^)
Mason Bennett
> In nearly every situation it proved itself to be the equal to the best Intel has to offer.
Its like they just copy pasted whatever AMD told him to say because his own benchmarks in gaming show that the 7700k is better.
Kevin Rodriguez
Workstations, hello? content creators and developers? Xeons are even more pricier and the platform cost for them is ghastly. Also Xeons also come lower clocked, so they lose on performance to gain features like remote bios management and ECC, stuff they might not even need.
It's there for a reason, and it's selling.
Noah Lopez
uh.... GPU and CPU doesn't work the same. Most of the benchmarks done on the CPU is final results. Anything done differently is if the developers can use more threads efficently, is where RYZEN will show some results.
Charles Hughes
Ah ok. Excuse me while I find my wallet.
Carson Moore
Does any of this even matter if I'm going to use an rx470 and play at medium to medium/high settings?
Was thinking about waiting till r5 comes out, but i5s are less than 180 right now at my local store and I'm antsy....
Austin Nguyen
Not cost $7700 for a start.
Blake Cook
would it make sense to test one of the new ryzen chips with 4 cores disabled and a good overclock? something like 4.5 or 4.6 ghz
Andrew Bennett
if I'm an artist would this help me have hella huge canvases?
The only thing I'm butthurt about Ryzen is the memory lag and pci-e lanes but I'll probably only use 1 m.2 SSD and 1 GPU anyways.
Planning on getting either a high end 470 or the cheapest 480 I can get away with
Gabriel Wilson
6c/12t and 8c/16t cpus from intel don't rival 4c/8t i7s in single threaded tasks. Shouldn't we expect better single core performance from ryzen 5 and ryzen 3??
Lucas Young
Probably. Hopefully some reviewers will try it soon.
A 1700+cooler+b350 is the same price as a 6600k+cooler+z270 anyway. It probably beats it at least as you'd have 4 cores and 8 threads over the 4c/4t.
It requires exponential voltage bumps after 3.3 GHz and it seems like the sweetspot is between 2.1 and 3.3 GHz.
Justin Myers
>tfw no brandfag, I just buy what better suits my needs and has better price/performance >my i7 2600k still going stable after years on 4 GHz >I wanted to replace it with the 1700 Ryzen >it's a massive failure
When will the next monarch CPU come out and finally replace Sandy Bridge?
William Robinson
its literally double the speed of a 2600k. Even in games Ryzen is 60% faster
Nicholas Ramirez
At this rate you're going to have to wait another 5-6 years.
Only now is an i3 (7350K) about the same level as a 2600K.
So in about 5-6 years time, we can expect that an i3 will be about what a 7700K is today.
But its really hard to say what things will be like from now, going smaller is becoming increasingly difficult, simply adding more cores will reach thermal limits quickly, its just incremental gains at this point.
Lincoln Turner
>tfw i have a 2600k
So...time to upgrade I guess?
Henry Diaz
depends on what you use it for. If it's only for gaymes you don't need to upgrade unless you want to buy a high end ($500+) GPU
Christian Butler
Not urgently, no. It'd be a comfort upgrade, but note that you're still pretty much around console & laptop gaymer specs almost everyone still PRIMARILY develops their games for.
Most games will work very well on sensibles settings.
It'd be an upgrade for having a little fun with higher settings and maybe a modicum of comfort.
Liam Martin
in the next few years i plan to finish my bachelor's degree in civil engineering and another one in cyber security while at the same time starting a twitch gaming channel. so i may be doing a bunch of shit.
Jason Russell
If you avoid the worst Adobe trash software, you should be fine with a mediocre desktop machine that has a bunch of extra (not particularly fast) RAM.
Decent 5-10 year old machine + 16GB RAM (or less RAM and a SSD) should be able to easily edit like 100MP sized photos.
