what a roller coaster ride the ryen
launch has been between the hype and the runup to its launch and AMD's Stern
refusal to reveal any but the bearest
details everybody is talking about ryzen
but could anything live up to this level
of expectation let's find

new CPU architecture the ryzen 7 flavor
of which is launching today it Sports eight cores each with smt so similar to
Intel's hyperthreading and and boasts a
whopping 52% Improvement in instructions per
clock over AMD's previous best and a TDP
of only 65 to 95 Watts that is a big
shot across Intel's bow especially considering the ryzen 7 has been
positioned as performance competitive
with the Enthusiast class core i7
6800k and 6900 K 6 and eight core chips
that Intel rates at 140 Watts so how did
AMD do it well there's a lot of nitty-gritty that we won't get too deep
into but here's the tldr AMD's sense Mi
allows the processor to thoroughly monitor itself accurate to within a
milliamp molt mwatt and single degre
celsus 1,000 times per second AMD's
Precision boost uses that data along on
with individual testing at the factory
to determine the ideal clock frequency within 25 mahz steps for Optimal
Performance even going as far as to boost beyond the rated speed using
extended frequency range or xfr add that
to their Infinity fabric scalable high-speed interconnect smarter Branch
prediction a smarter neuronet inspired prefetch and a more efficient cache
setup and you've got a very oversimplified nutshell version of
ryzen of course its performance would be
meaningless if it weren't priced competitively and uh boy howdy is it
ever currently the most expensive CPU in
the range is $499 us which might seem
like a lot if you compare it to Intel's mainstream Flagship core
i77700 k at 349 but but AMD reckons
their top dog is more comparable to the core i7 6900 k a
,50 chip of course with their history of
hype training the bananas out of
mediocore CPU releases we can't just
take AMD's word for any of this so let's dive straight into the moment you've all
been waiting for handson with ryzen we'll be pitting ryzen 7 against
Rivals core i7 6900k
6800k and 7700k and for fun we've also thrown in
the core i57600k and dusted off our
fx8350 with each bench kitted out with a Titan XP and 32 gigs of gskill memory
shout out at this point to ASUS for providing and helping us learn the ins
and outs of their Rog CR crir 6 hero
built with AMD's x370 chipset the First
new Enthusiast chipset since 2011 for
AMD and a few special ASUS twists like
their native USB 3.1 front panel connector comprehensive overclocking and
tweaking tool set RS syc RGB lighting
compatibility with am3 and am4 cooler holes and their new s1220 audio solution
it should be noted that you won't need the more expensive x370 unless Crossfire
and SLI support is important to you but
in spite of all of ASUS's help think back to that asterisk about 30 seconds
ago while I would love to say that the early rumors of am4 having difficulty
hitting higher memory frequencies were greatly
exaggerated our 1800 x chip managed a
mere 2666 MHz with multiple kits
including the one supplied by AMD any higher no post we hope can be ironed out
in firmware but with how heavily AMD Zen architecture relies on Fast low latency
RAM to keep the cores fed our scores for
synthetic benchmarks in particular might suffer a little bit kicking off our
testing we have y cruncher at 50 million digits of Delicious Pie the 1800x
doesn't Faire so well in the single-threaded test but pulls just
ahead of the 7600k in the multi-threaded one this
test is RAM intensive though so this lower than expected result isn't
surprising cinebench being much closer
to a real world workload paints a more optimal picture with ryzen actually
beating out the 6900k in the multi-threaded test and coming in just
under in the single-threaded test CPU
Mark single-threaded test puts ryzen back at the bottom of our modern CPUs
while in the overall it slips in neatly between the 6900 and 6800 k moving on to
szip ryzen killed it coming in well
above all but the 6900k and PC Mark tells a similar tale
with AMD's ryzen 7 Flagship outperforming the x99 chips in both
tests though it should be noted that PC Mark's lightly multi-threaded workload
definitely favors the 7700 K's blistering clock speeds real bench
continues the overall trend although we
see ryzen stumble with heavy multitasking here a potential RAM speed
limitation while an Adobe Media encoder ryzen 7 and the x99 chips are very
competitive ad reveals no obvious
storage bottleneck with similar if slightly lower results to our Intel test
benches and then moving on to gaming DSX
mankind divided shows a fairly tight race with ryzen in the middle rise of
the Tomb Raider sees ryzen rise to the
occasion to take top spot which it managed to hold in an older title Crisis
3 moving on to a more Esports oriented
title we tested csgo specifically with chips that represent the best
single-threaded performance that Intel has to offer today and that AMD has
today and before the launch of ryzen
unsurprisingly if you're running a 240 HZ monitor like this one from ASUS that
we checked out before and your PC's purpose is pure frame pushing the
7700k might not look quite as obsolete
as AMD would like it to for our
streaming test we gave it a worst case scenario with ashes of the singulari CPU
focused Benchmark both with and without
OBS recording in the background we compared the recording performance to
streaming and it was the same and at
twitch quality we see that actually none of our CPUs really had a hard time with
this over just running The Benchmark the
6900k runs away with this one while the poor fx8350 wishes we'd left it on the
Shelf compared to Intel quick sync encoding the output from our x264
testing is quite a bit clearer to my eyes but go ahead and pause the video to
take a close look at this blown up shot to judge for yourself let us know if
you'd like us to dig deeper into streaming in the comments below because
AMD was showing ryzen just butt kicking
the 7700k so did AMD come out of nowhere
then Leap Frog Intel on performance and disrupt the market well yes no and yes
our our testing shows the topend 1800x
sitting between the 6900 K and
7700k when it comes to single-threaded Performance and hovering around but not
quite matching the 6900k in our multi-threaded tests there's no question
here that heavier users will love AMD
right now for bringing more affordability to High Core count chips
without the massive power draw and single-threaded compromises that existed
before and as for coming out of nowhere with this that definitely happened but
I'm actually not sure who gets the credit for ryzen 7's disruptive
positioning is it AMD for coming in and giving the
consumer nearly twice the performance per dollar value of a
6900k or is it Intel for stubbornly
refusing to acknowledge the benefits of more cores for the mainstream consumer
and creating a confusing product stack where bang for the buck varies so
dramatically within their own products they handed AMD's marketing department a
lot of Firepower here by allowing them to bang the twice the value of the 6900k
drum while conveniently ignoring that Intel also produces chips that deliver
twice the value of a 6900k or
more I guess that's neither here nor there though the major takeaway here
isn't that the 1800x devoured all in its
path but that as AMD used to be be so
good at doing they've identified a market segment where no directly
competing product really exists and engineered a solution enthusiasts
looking for something bigger than a
7700k but not wanting to lose single-threaded performance and eat
nothing but instant noodles for a year by stepping up to a 6900k will be
delighted with the ryzen 7 lineup
meanwhile professionals who don't need RAM slots or Thunderbolt will also find
a CPU that performs better than Intel's
mainstream while lacking a couple of extras very appealing and all of this
ignores too the six core and four core
Zen core solutions that are coming later on this year to disrupt Intel's Core i5
and core I3 products so AMD fans Rejoice
then with ryzen AMD is back in a big way
and and even if you're on team blue you should be happy too because competition
is always good for the consumer do you feel like your cellular
provider doesn't give a rat patoot about you who am I kidding of course you do so
check out Ting we've got a link in the video description these guys are all
