3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:15,519
things i just love about the computer industry is the naming conventions you

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,720
can put your ek predator cooler inside your acer predator desktop one of the

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,960
best gpus on the market shares a name with the world's most mundane display

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,439
resolution and the industry as a whole has more references to force than the

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,880
entire expanded universe so then it was a huge surprise to

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,360
no one when AMD continued this proud tradition of uncreative naming by

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:46,160
designating their lineup of new ryzen cpus as ryzen 3 5 and 7.

10
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:48,960
the same numbers that team blue started

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,239
using all those years ago but

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,360
to AMD's credit they've gone a different direction with what those numbers

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,640
actually mean starting at the bottom we've got ryzen 3

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:07,200
though i would hardly call this bottom low end every ryzen 3 chip comes with 4

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,880
cores and 4 threads similar to an Intel

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,240
core i5 a 65 watt TDP means that the small

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,960
included wraith stealth heatsink that looks somewhat similar to an Intel stock

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:25,119
solution should do you nicely if you're not interested in overclocking a ryzen 3

19
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,880
will run you between 109 and 129 dollars

20
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:33,600
depending on exactly which model you choose stepping up we've got ryzen 5 which has

21
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:39,600
both 4 core 8 thread and 6 core 12 thread models positioning them

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:44,880
actually against mainstream grade core i7s except at the very high end so that

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,399
one is simple enough but the cooler situation here is a

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,600
little confusing the lowest end 1400

25
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,000
gets the same stealth cooler as before

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:02,560
then the other chips get the beefier wraith spire except for the top end six

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:07,520
core 1600x which has no bundled cooler

28
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:10,640
at all and a higher 95 watt TDP

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:15,200
so ryzen 5 will run you between 169 and

30
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:17,599
189 for 4 cores or 219 to 249 if you

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:23,520
want something with six at the top of the mainstream stack is the ryzen 7

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,720
lineup all of which are 8 core 16 thread

33
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:31,840
affairs again here you'll see tdps between 65

34
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:37,040
and 95 watts and only the lowest end

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,440
non-x ryzen 7 1700 includes aspire led

36
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,440
cooler though with that said i'd expect many of the folks buying the top tier

37
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,080
ones to want high performance after market cooling anyway if you pull the

38
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:54,879
trigger on a ryzen 7 expect to pay between 329 and 499 dollars but wait

39
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:01,200
there's more that's not the end of it for the first time in a decade AMD is

40
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:05,200
finally competing on the super high end as well with a product called ryzen

41
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,920
threadripper this dramatically named processor is

42
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:18,879
based on their server lineup and comes in 8 12 and 16 core variants all with

43
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,239
simultaneous multi-threading and 64 pci

44
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,280
express lanes these puppies produce copious amounts of

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:32,640
heat you will need to provide your own excellent cooler the cpus are physically

46
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,400
massive with over 4 000 lga style

47
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:42,080
contacts and with pricing from 549 to 999 they are

48
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:44,720
expensive though it's still cheaper than

49
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Intel's closest equivalents so then which one should you choose if you're

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,000
interested well believe it or not if you won't be doing anything more demanding

51
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,239
than gaming ryzen 3 is probably an

52
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,840
excellent bet as there are hardly any games out there today that can

53
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,439
substantially take advantage of more than four cores though with that said

54
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,360
the extra threads and cores of a ryzen 5

55
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:12,239
might make sense for you if you're a light content creator or a game streamer

56
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:18,320
if you're a content creator who's doing more heavy lifting such as video editing

57
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:19,840
a higher end ryzen 5 or a ryzen 7 is a

58
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,520
great bet for you as for the super deluxe Threadripper

59
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:31,120
well that one makes sense if you need high-speed quad channel memory tons of

60
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,880
cores for virtualization and pci express

61
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:37,199
lanes out the wazoo for GPU compute uh

62
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,120
high-end networking or like crazy storage setups

63
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,960
regardless of what chip you pick though there are a few things to know well two

64
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:49,199
one every ryzen skew is unlocked and

65
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:53,120
overclockable out of the box so you won't be paying an Intel style premium

66
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,759
just to tweak the multiplier in your BIOS and two

67
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:03,280
ryzen isn't quite as strong in applications like games that skew more

68
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:08,880
heavily towards single core performance due to its lower per clock performance

69
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:11,360
compared to Intel however many tests

70
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,680
have shown that ryzen is a suitable performer in many of those applications

71
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,759
and actually a better value for multi-threaded applications so if you're

72
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:23,600
spending a lot of time in adobe premiere or streaming in hd you might be

73
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:28,479
pleasantly surprised so let us know in the comments then have

74
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,759
you taken the Ryzen plunge yet what are your thoughts so far and if you have

75
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,600
why are you watching this video you already bought it

76
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,680
go play some games or edit some videos on the subject of playing games are you

77
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,639
tired of playing beat the clock because you're a busy freelancer

78
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,000
well this episode is brought to you by freshbooks it's challenging to be

79
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:53,919
self-employed but with the growth of the internet there's never been more

80
