1 00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,759 what a roller coaster ride the ryen 2 00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:14,240 launch has been between the hype and the runup to its launch and AMD's Stern 3 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,400 refusal to reveal any but the bearest 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:23,039 details everybody is talking about ryzen 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,920 but could anything live up to this level 6 00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,880 of expectation let's find 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,960 out 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:43,800 browse privately and securely with tunnel bear the simple VPN app try 9

--> 00:01:01,039 of which is launching today it Sports eight cores each with smt so similar to 12 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:02,640 Intel's hyperthreading and and boasts a 13 00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:09,720 whopping 52% Improvement in instructions per 14 00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:14,119 clock over AMD's previous best and a TDP 15 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:16,920 of only 65 to 95 Watts that is a big 16 00:01:14,119 --> 00:01:22,600 shot across Intel's bow especially considering the ryzen 7 has been 17 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,640 positioned as performance competitive 18 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:30,880 with the Enthusiast class core i7 19 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:35,399 6800k and 6900 K 6 and eight core chips 20 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:38,040 that Intel rates at 140 Watts so how did 21 00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:44,799 AMD do it well there's a lot of nitty-gritty that we won't get too deep 22 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:47,000 into but here's the tldr AMD's sense Mi 23 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:53,240 allows the processor to thoroughly monitor itself accurate to within a 24 00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:57,039 milliamp molt mwatt and single degre 25 00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:00,119 celsus 1,000

prediction a smarter neuronet inspired prefetch and a more efficient cache 33 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:36,599 setup and you've got a very oversimplified nutshell version of 34 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,360 ryzen of course its performance would be 35 00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:47,120 meaningless if it weren't priced competitively and uh boy howdy is it 36 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:51,400 ever currently the most expensive CPU in 37 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,080 the range is $499 us which might seem 38 00:02:51,400 --> 00:03:01,080 like a lot if you compare it to Intel's mainstream Flagship core 39 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:03,920 i77700 k at 349 but but AMD reckons 40 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:13,480 their top dog is more comparable to the core i7 6900 k a 41 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:17,440 ,50 chip of course with their history of 42 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:20,760 hype training the bananas out of 43 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,680 mediocore CPU releases we can't just 44 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:28,760 take AMD's word for any of this so let's dive straight into the moment you've all 45 00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:35,360 been waiting for handson with ryzen we'll be pitting ryzen 7 against 46 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,599 Rivals core i7 6900k 47 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,159 6800k and 7700k and for fun we've also thrown in 48 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:48,720 the core i57600k and dusted off our 49 00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:55,560 fx8350 with each bench kitted out with a Titan XP and 32 gigs of gskill memory 50 00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:01,480 shout out at this point to ASUS for providing and helping us learn the ins 51 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:04,840 and outs of their Rog CR crir 6 hero 52 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,840 built with AMD's x370 chipset the First 53 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,360 new Enthusiast chipset since 2011 for 54 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,560 AMD and a few special ASUS twists like 55 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:19,199 their native USB 3.1 front panel connector comprehensive overclocking and 56 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,040 tweaking tool set RS syc RGB lighting 57 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:28,000 compatibility with am3 and am4 cooler holes and their new s1220 audio solution 58 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,960 it should be noted that you won't need the more expensive x370 unless Crossfire 59 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,080 and SLI support is important to you but 60 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:41,600 in spite of all of ASUS's help think back to that asterisk about 30 seconds 61 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:46,360 ago while I would love to say that the early rumors of am4 having difficulty 62 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,560 hitting higher memory frequencies were greatly 63 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:54,440 exaggerated our 1800 x chip managed a 64 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,039 mere 2666 MHz with multiple kits 65 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:03,240 including the one supplied by AMD any higher no post we hope can be ironed out 66 00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:09,000 in firmware but with how heavily AMD Zen architecture relies on Fast low latency 67 00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,639 RAM to keep the cores fed our scores for 68 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,080 synthetic benchmarks in particular might suffer a little bit kicking off our 69 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:22,000 testing we have y cruncher at 50 million digits of Delicious Pie the 1800x 70 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,280 doesn't Faire so well in the single-threaded test but pulls just 71 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,600 ahead of the 7600k in the multi-threaded one this 72 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:35,960 test is RAM intensive though so this lower than expected result isn't 73 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,199 surprising cinebench being much closer 74 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:43,240 to a real world workload paints a more optimal picture with ryzen actually 75 00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:48,720 beating out the 6900k in the multi-threaded test and coming in just 76 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,840 under in the single-threaded test CPU 77 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,319 Mark single-threaded test puts ryzen back at the bottom of our modern CPUs 78 00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:03,199 while in the overall it slips in neatly between the 6900 and 6800 k moving on to 79 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:05,440 szip ryzen killed it coming in well 80 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:11,080 above all but the 6900k and PC Mark tells a similar tale 81 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:16,560 with AMD's ryzen 7 Flagship outperforming the x99 chips in both 82 00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:21,639 tests though it should be noted that PC Mark's lightly multi-threaded workload 83 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:27,560 definitely favors the 7700 K's blistering clock speeds real bench 84 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,680 continues the overall trend although we 85 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:34,599 see ryzen stumble with heavy multitasking here a potential RAM speed 86 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:41,199 limitation while an Adobe Media encoder ryzen 7 and the x99 chips are very 87 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,360 competitive ad reveals no obvious 88 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:48,960 storage bottleneck with similar if slightly lower results to our Intel test 89 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,080 benches and then moving on to gaming DSX 90 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,360 mankind divided shows a fairly tight race with ryzen in the middle rise of 91 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,639 the Tomb Raider sees ryzen rise to the 92 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:05,160 occasion to take top spot which it managed to hold in an older title Crisis 93 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,000 3 moving on to a more Esports oriented 94 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,840 title we tested csgo specifically with chips that represent the best 95 00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:19,000 single-threaded performance that Intel has to offer today and that AMD has 96 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:21,680 today and before the launch of ryzen 97 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,599 unsurprisingly if you're running a 240 HZ monitor like this one from ASUS that 98 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:34,039 we checked out before and your PC's purpose is pure frame pushing the 99 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,120 7700k might not look quite as obsolete 100 00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:39,759 as AMD would like it to for our 101 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:46,199 streaming test we gave it a worst case scenario with ashes of the singulari CPU 102 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:49,039 focused Benchmark both with and without 103 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:54,520 OBS recording in the background we compared the recording performance to 104 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,440 streaming and it was the same and at 105 00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:02,199 twitch quality we see that actually none of our CPUs really had a hard time with 106 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,039 this over just running The Benchmark the 107 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:10,520 6900k runs away with this one while the poor fx8350 wishes we'd left it on the 108 00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:15,840 Shelf compared to Intel quick sync encoding the output from our x264 109 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:20,639 testing is quite a bit clearer to my eyes but go ahead and pause the video to 110 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,599 take a close look at this blown up shot to judge for yourself let us know if 111 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:30,560 you'd like us to dig deeper into streaming in the comments below because 112 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,399 AMD was showing ryzen just butt kicking 113 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,959 the 7700k so did AMD come out of nowhere 114 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:49,360 then Leap Frog Intel on performance and disrupt the market well yes no and yes 115 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:53,120 our our testing shows the topend 1800x 116 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,760 sitting between the 6900 K and 117 00:08:53,120 --> 00:09:01,360 7700k when it comes to single-threaded Performance and hovering around but not 118 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:08,519 quite matching the 6900k in our multi-threaded tests there's no question 119 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,200 here that heavier users will love AMD 120 00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:15,519 right now for bringing more affordability to High Core count chips 121 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:21,519 without the massive power draw and single-threaded compromises that existed 122 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:26,200 before and as for coming out of nowhere with this that definitely happened but 123 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,880 I'm actually not sure who gets the credit for ryzen 7's disruptive 124 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:35,240 positioning is it AMD for coming in and giving the 125 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:41,160 consumer nearly twice the performance per dollar value of a 126 00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:43,680 6900k or is it Intel for stubbornly 127 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:49,600 refusing to acknowledge the benefits of more cores for the mainstream consumer 128 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:54,880 and creating a confusing product stack where bang for the buck varies so 129 00:09:52,040 --> 00:10:01,760 dramatically within their own products they handed AMD's marketing department a 130 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:09,240 lot of Firepower here by allowing them to bang the twice the value of the 6900k 131 00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:14,480 drum while conveniently ignoring that Intel also produces chips that deliver 132 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:19,760 twice the value of a 6900k or 133 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:26,120 more I guess that's neither here nor there though the major takeaway here 134 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:29,959 isn't that the 1800x devoured all in its 135 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,720 path but that as AMD used to be be so 136 00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:38,240 good at doing they've identified a market segment where no directly 137 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:44,519 competing product really exists and engineered a solution enthusiasts 138 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,839 looking for something bigger than a 139 00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:50,680 7700k but not wanting to lose single-threaded performance and eat 140 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:57,000 nothing but instant noodles for a year by stepping up to a 6900k will be 141 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,440 delighted with the ryzen 7 lineup 142 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:06,440 meanwhile professionals who don't need RAM slots or Thunderbolt will also find 143 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,480 a CPU that performs better than Intel's 144 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:15,760 mainstream while lacking a couple of extras very appealing and all of this 145 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:18,160 ignores too the six core and four core 146 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:25,600 Zen core solutions that are coming later on this year to disrupt Intel's Core i5 147 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:29,040 and core I3 products so AMD fans Rejoice 148 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,200 then with ryzen AMD is back in a big way 149 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,480 and and even if you're on team blue you should be happy too because competition 150 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,880 is always good for the consumer do you feel like your cellular 151 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:45,360 provider doesn't give a rat patoot about you who am I kidding of course you do so 152 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,000 check out Ting we've got a link in the video description these guys are all 153 00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:53,399 about customer service when you call them you do not speak to a robot there 154 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:58,800 is no phone tree you get put through directly to a person and somehow they 155 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:04,560 managed to do that with a very affordable able average Ting bill of 156 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,839 only $23 per month per device for their 157 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:13,519 customers they do this by making everything pay for only what you use so 158 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,760 all you do is head over to their savings calculator that's lin. ting.com we''ve 159 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:22,040 got that link below you
