No shit, it's an 8 core 3.6GHz CPU going against a 4 core 4.2GHz CPU
Did you morons actually need "reviews" to figure that out?
Also buying a $400+ CPU for "gaming" is about as retarded as you can get when there's shit like the i5 availabe for almost half with no performance loss.
I guess the Xeons are "bad" too cause they suck at gaming, right?
The R7 1800x is a top of the line workstation CPU. For that it absolutely kills Intel in every regard. Outperforming Intel's top chip for less than half the price.
For all you gaming manchildren the R5 and R3 line will come soon enough, with lower core count and higher clocks.
Buying an 1800x for gaming and then complaining about it is like buying a Ferrari and complaining it doesn't get good MPG.
You dumbass shills need to fucking off yourselves.

It demolishes Intel's workstation parts while being merely 'good' at single threaded performance.
You can tell the Jewtel overlords have been hard at work when every single "review" site is suddenly only interested in GAMING performance.
Never mind that for actual working adults it obliterates Intel for less than half the price. No, that is irrelevant according to """tech journalists""". What matters is that it gets 10FPS less in 5 year old games. That's the gold standard.
Parker Brooks
Wait, if talking workstations, why is Xeon still not the best? Sure, it isn't bang for your buck faster, but it is still faster and some workstations may want the most optimal results out there.
Cooper Collins
The 1700, 1700X, and 1800X are the same fucking chip. Silicon lottery is the biggest Ryzen meme of all. If 70 dollars more only gets you 100 to 200 more megahertz, I'm getting a 1700 next month. Hopefully by then the dumbass L3 and SMT bugs are ironed out. I'm pretty happy with most of what I'm seeing, at any rate.
Brody Rogers
The 1700 has a much lower TDP and uses the worst chips so you'll get very low OC out of it.
The 1700x is the sweet spot. It's the same thing as the 1800x with slightly lower clocks.
Samuel Ross
Bullshit, I've seen people talking about 1800X barely getting to 4.1 and the 1700 consistently getting to 3.8-3.9. 1700X would necessarily have to be between that, and that's a total waste of money.
Asher Turner
hey dipshit if it's not a gaming CPU why was it marketed as one?
Benjamin Cook
I'm curious too. What's AMD's response to Xeon?
Anthony Wood
It obviously can do gaming just fine and in real world use there is no difference between it and Intel.
As always, unless you're playing at 320x160, the GPU will hit the bottleneck way before the CPU ever gets there. I saw a benchmark with everything at ultra 1080p in The Division and the CPU was sitting at 50% while the GPU was at 95%.
CPUs are fucking irrelevant when it comes to gaming in real world conditions they never actually hit their cap.
But if you're buying it exclusively for gaming and then complaining about it then you're a fucking moron who deserves to lose his money.
Kevin Myers
Opterons are launching Q2
Charles Gonzalez
I'm not disagreeing with you and I will be building a Ryzen (either workstation or server) in the near future. My point is that all these amd fan boys are now crying out about how "they aren't gaming cpu's" but they were marketed as gaming CPU's. I actually can into computers so I know that a game isn't going to utilize more than a few cores and that GPU's are the workhorse of games.
My point still stands to anyone claiming it isn't a gaming CPU.
Sebastian Price
>why is Xeon still not the best it is basically Ryzen is more of a prosumer CPU aka gaming + work same with intel's X99 E CPUs if need a pure workstation CPU buying anything other than a xeon is retarded. Well at least until zen server CPUs come out.
server CPUs AMD's 1P server platform has always been considered workstation tier
Justin White
I make movies and I game
Did I dun goof by getting the Ryzen 1700x?
Adrian Butler
You did good unless you game at 640x480
Kayden Jones
If you didn't fall for the 1800X meme, you're good to go. Gaming performance will probably go up with patches.
Luis Bennett
Yes. For encoding you get better than 6950X performance for less than half the price.
For gaming you're getting the same performance as any other modern CPU.
Matthew Bennett
just give it up aymd autismos, you lost AGAIN
Liam Thomas
It's not a work station part, its babbbys first work pc at best.
Workstations have ecc
Caleb Rogers
to be fair during that press event they were mostly promoting it as a gaming + streaming CPU. the only game where they actually showed it off was running 4k and obviously was mostly GPU bottlenecked.
Austin Murphy
But most AM4 motherboards are also ECC compatible.
Jace Jones
PLEASE SIR, BUY R7 RYZEN. MY FAMILY IS STARVING. THIS IS LIKE BENGAL FAMINE, INTEL IS WORSE THAN BRITISH. PLEASE HELP US.
Robert Smith
Who do you think buys AMDs? Maybe a handful of workstations, but mostly it's budget-conscious gamers. That's where there is money to be made and if the core is no good for gaming then it barely even has a niche.
Nicholas Miller
This is basically all that needs to be said till the r5 6 cores come later for better gaming
Angel Bailey
Y u so mad
Luke Anderson
>Did I dun goof
Look at the picture and you tell me.
What AMD has accomplished here is monumental. I don't think there has ever been a point in the history of CPUs that a new product has come out that offers so much power for so little money.
If it was an Intel you'd be hearing all of the tech industry gush about it, but because it's AMD all you here about is shills shilling about 5FPS in dumb game benchmarks.
Austin James
Unless you are streaming... in which case you can easily hit 100% CPU usage.
Jason Foster
>I didn't even look to see that all ryzen cpus and almost all mainboards have ecc support
You gotta shill better, shlomo
Andrew Hernandez
Buh-buh muh gaems.

>Budget conscious gamers Exactly, which is what the R5 and R3 is for. What kind of budget conscious gamer spends more than $300 for a CPU?
Lincoln Murphy
oooooh baby, those delicious tears of yours
SO tasty
Camden Smith
Yeah I googled a bit around and found that it wouldn't go above 1.6Ghz in a normal setting, which is clearly server oriented. I'm just wondering if there will be alternatives to Xeon for my use case where I develop for real time 3D engines and medical simulation.
Blake Morgan
Another AMDrone, look they playing battlefield 1 and streaming at their booth , fuck off with its not ment for gaming when they AMD are promoting it for that purpose
Hunter Ramirez
>g-gaming doesn't even matter! >g-grow up!
It's always funny when AMD pajeets don't even realize that it's those gaymers who actually keep AMD afloat.
Christopher Campbell

Camden Gomez
>For all you gaming manchildren the R5 and R3 line will come soon enough, with lower core count and higher clocks.
No, the 1600X also clocks to 3,7Ghz max.
Those chips are no good for overclocking unless you use LN2 and go for 1,5V voltage.
Grayson Cook
Absolutely
Without all the deals in the console market, AMD would be long dead.
James Robinson
You know this because your dad works for AMD right?
Jackson Taylor
1700 and 1700x are 1800x chips that didn't come out of the fab well enough to meet the 1800x standards. Made on same wafer i assume, same fab same process. Just poorer quality chips. So I reckon you get all the bells and whistles of an 1800x, just lower clockspeeds. Unlike Intel chips where different ones come with different built-in graphics
