WEBVTT 00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:07.759 what a roller coaster ride the ryen 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:14.240 launch has been between the hype and the runup to its launch and AMD's Stern 00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.400 refusal to reveal any but the bearest 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:23.039 details everybody is talking about ryzen 00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.920 but could anything live up to this level 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.880 of expectation let's find 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.960 out 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:43.800 browse privately and securely with tunnel bear the simple VPN app try

00:01:01.039 of which is launching today it Sports eight cores each with smt so similar to 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.640 Intel's hyperthreading and and boasts a 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:09.720 whopping 52% Improvement in instructions per 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:14.119 clock over AMD's previous best and a TDP 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.920 of only 65 to 95 Watts that is a big 00:01:14.119 --> 00:01:22.600 shot across Intel's bow especially considering the ryzen 7 has been 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.640 positioned as performance competitive 00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:30.880 with the Enthusiast class core i7 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:35.399 6800k and 6900 K 6 and eight core chips 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:38.040 that Intel rates at 140 Watts so how did 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 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:47.000 into but here's the tldr AMD's sense Mi 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:53.240 allows the processor to thoroughly monitor itself accurate to within a 00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:57.039 milliamp molt mwatt and single degre 00:01:53.240 --> 00:02:00.119 celsus 1,000 times per second AMD's 00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:03.240 Precision boost uses that data along on 00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:05.759 with individual testing at the factory 00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:11.720 to determine the ideal clock frequency within 25 mahz steps for Optimal 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:18.319 Performance even going as far as to boost beyond the rated speed using 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:20.280 extended frequency range or xfr add that 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:25.080 to their Infinity fabric scalable high-speed interconnect smarter Branch 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.840 prediction a smarter neuronet inspired prefetch and a more efficient cache 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:36.599 setup and you've got a very oversimplified nutshell version of 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.360 ryzen of course its performance would be 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:47.120 meaningless if it weren't priced competitively and uh boy howdy is it 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:51.400 ever currently the most expensive CPU in 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.080 the range is $499 us which might seem 00:02:51.400 --> 00:03:01.080 like a lot if you compare it to Intel's mainstream Flagship core 00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:03.920 i77700 k at 349 but but AMD reckons 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:13.480 their top dog is more comparable to the core i7 6900 k a 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:17.440 ,50 chip of course with their history of 00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.760 hype training the bananas out of 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.680 mediocore CPU releases we can't just 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 00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:35.360 been waiting for handson with ryzen we'll be pitting ryzen 7 against 00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:37.599 Rivals core i7 6900k 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:42.159 6800k and 7700k and for fun we've also thrown in 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:48.720 the core i57600k and dusted off our 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:55.560 fx8350 with each bench kitted out with a Titan XP and 32 gigs of gskill memory 00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:01.480 shout out at this point to ASUS for providing and helping us learn the ins 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:04.840 and outs of their Rog CR crir 6 hero 00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:07.840 built with AMD's x370 chipset the First 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.360 new Enthusiast chipset since 2011 for 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.560 AMD and a few special ASUS twists like 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:19.199 their native USB 3.1 front panel connector comprehensive overclocking and 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:22.040 tweaking tool set RS syc RGB lighting 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:28.000 compatibility with am3 and am4 cooler holes and their new s1220 audio solution 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:33.960 it should be noted that you won't need the more expensive x370 unless Crossfire 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:36.080 and SLI support is important to you but 00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:41.600 in spite of all of ASUS's help think back to that asterisk about 30 seconds 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:46.360 ago while I would love to say that the early rumors of am4 having difficulty 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.560 hitting higher memory frequencies were greatly 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:54.440 exaggerated our 1800 x chip managed a 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.039 mere 2666 MHz with multiple kits 00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:03.240 including the one supplied by AMD any higher no post we hope can be ironed out 00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:09.000 in firmware but with how heavily AMD Zen architecture relies on Fast low latency 00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:11.639 RAM to keep the cores fed our scores for 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:17.080 synthetic benchmarks in particular might suffer a little bit kicking off our 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:22.000 testing we have y cruncher at 50 million digits of Delicious Pie the 1800x 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:25.280 doesn't Faire so well in the single-threaded test but pulls just 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.600 ahead of the 7600k in the multi-threaded one this 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:35.960 test is RAM intensive though so this lower than expected result isn't 00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:38.199 surprising cinebench being much closer 00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:43.240 to a real world workload paints a more optimal picture with ryzen actually 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:48.720 beating out the 6900k in the multi-threaded test and coming in just 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.840 under in the single-threaded test CPU 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.319 Mark single-threaded test puts ryzen back at the bottom of our modern CPUs 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 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.440 szip ryzen killed it coming in well 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:11.080 above all but the 6900k and PC Mark tells a similar tale 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:16.560 with AMD's ryzen 7 Flagship outperforming the x99 chips in both 00:06:14.039 --> 00:06:21.639 tests though it should be noted that PC Mark's lightly multi-threaded workload 00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:27.560 definitely favors the 7700 K's blistering clock speeds real bench 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:29.680 continues the overall trend although we 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:34.599 see ryzen stumble with heavy multitasking here a potential RAM speed 00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:41.199 limitation while an Adobe Media encoder ryzen 7 and the x99 chips are very 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.360 competitive ad reveals no obvious 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:48.960 storage bottleneck with similar if slightly lower results to our Intel test 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.080 benches and then moving on to gaming DSX 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.360 mankind divided shows a fairly tight race with ryzen in the middle rise of 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.639 the Tomb Raider sees ryzen rise to the 00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:05.160 occasion to take top spot which it managed to hold in an older title Crisis 00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:08.000 3 moving on to a more Esports oriented 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:12.840 title we tested csgo specifically with chips that represent the best 00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:19.000 single-threaded performance that Intel has to offer today and that AMD has 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:21.680 today and before the launch of ryzen 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:26.599 unsurprisingly if you're running a 240 HZ monitor like this one from ASUS that 00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:34.039 we checked out before and your PC's purpose is pure frame pushing the 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:37.120 7700k might not look quite as obsolete 00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:39.759 as AMD would like it to for our 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:46.199 streaming test we gave it a worst case scenario with ashes of the singulari CPU 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:49.039 focused Benchmark both with and without 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:54.520 OBS recording in the background we compared the recording performance to 00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:56.440 streaming and it was the same and at 00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:02.199 twitch quality we see that actually none of our CPUs really had a hard time with 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.039 this over just running The Benchmark the 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 00:08:08.039 --> 00:08:15.840 Shelf compared to Intel quick sync encoding the output from our x264 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 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 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:30.560 you'd like us to dig deeper into streaming in the comments below because 00:08:27.400 --> 00:08:31.399 AMD was showing ryzen just butt kicking 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:36.959 the 7700k so did AMD come out of nowhere 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:49.360 then Leap Frog Intel on performance and disrupt the market well yes no and yes 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:53.120 our our testing shows the topend 1800x 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:55.760 sitting between the 6900 K and 00:08:53.120 --> 00:09:01.360 7700k when it comes to single-threaded Performance and hovering around but not 00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:08.519 quite matching the 6900k in our multi-threaded tests there's no question 00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:10.200 here that heavier users will love AMD 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:15.519 right now for bringing more affordability to High Core count chips 00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:21.519 without the massive power draw and single-threaded compromises that existed 00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:26.200 before and as for coming out of nowhere with this that definitely happened but 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:29.880 I'm actually not sure who gets the credit for ryzen 7's disruptive 00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:35.240 positioning is it AMD for coming in and giving the 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:41.160 consumer nearly twice the performance per dollar value of a 00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:43.680 6900k or is it Intel for stubbornly 00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:49.600 refusing to acknowledge the benefits of more cores for the mainstream consumer 00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:54.880 and creating a confusing product stack where bang for the buck varies so 00:09:52.040 --> 00:10:01.760 dramatically within their own products they handed AMD's marketing department a 00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:09.240 lot of Firepower here by allowing them to bang the twice the value of the 6900k 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:14.480 drum while conveniently ignoring that Intel also produces chips that deliver 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:19.760 twice the value of a 6900k or 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:26.120 more I guess that's neither here nor there though the major takeaway here 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:29.959 isn't that the 1800x devoured all in its 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:32.720 path but that as AMD used to be be so 00:10:29.959 --> 00:10:38.240 good at doing they've identified a market segment where no directly 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:44.519 competing product really exists and engineered a solution enthusiasts 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.839 looking for something bigger than a 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:50.680 7700k but not wanting to lose single-threaded performance and eat 00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:57.000 nothing but instant noodles for a year by stepping up to a 6900k will be 00:10:53.880 --> 00:10:59.440 delighted with the ryzen 7 lineup 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:06.440 meanwhile professionals who don't need RAM slots or Thunderbolt will also find 00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:08.480 a CPU that performs better than Intel's 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:15.760 mainstream while lacking a couple of extras very appealing and all of this 00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:18.160 ignores too the six core and four core 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:25.600 Zen core solutions that are coming later on this year to disrupt Intel's Core i5 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:29.040 and core I3 products so AMD fans Rejoice 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:31.200 then with ryzen AMD is back in a big way 00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:35.480 and and even if you're on team blue you should be happy too because competition 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:40.880 is always good for the consumer do you feel like your cellular 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 00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:49.000 check out Ting
