00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:08,320
guys guys you won't believe where I've

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:10,759
been or when I've returned from the far

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:18,400
off time of Q3 2017 after the launches of AMD's ryzen 5

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:21,359
and ryzen 3 and you don't want to know

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:26,320
what happens between now and then but anyway that's not important right now

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,279
what is important is I've brought back a

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:35,680
little souvenir Welcome to our ear early

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:38,799
preview of ryzen 3 and ryzen

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,199
5 the Phoenix oour is a full-sized

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:51,840
minimalistically designed keyboard complete with Cherry MX switches and a

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:58,399
new white backlit variant check it out at the link

12
00:00:53,359 --> 00:01:02,039
below okay okay so I'm no do brown and I

13
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:03,800
drive a Lambo not a DeLorean so we

14
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:11,960
should just get this out of the way right now we don't actually have a ryzen

15
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:17,159
5 or a ryzen 3

16
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:20,040
chip or do we no no we don't this right

17
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:26,840
here is our ryzen 7 1800x and what we're going to do is use

18
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:30,119
our Motherboard BIOS to match the core

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:34,399
counts and frequencies that AMD has

20
00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:37,439
announced and see how they might stack

21
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:40,159
up you may have your doubts about this

22
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:47,920
method but we've demonstrated in the past that it works shockingly well in

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,320
this video here so which chips will we

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:57,719
be testing then well aside from our ryzen 7 1800x and

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,880
1700x as real world baselines and a core

26
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:04,439
i7 7700 K to rep present the blue team

27
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:12,800
we're taking the ryzen 5600x and 1400x and the ryzen 3 1200X

28
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,959
Forest spin we'll be doing it all with

29
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,000
our replacement ASUS crossair 6-based

30
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:22,879
ryzen test bench and as for our GPU

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,480
we'll be testing with our new FPS per dollar high performance King the GTX

32
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:34,319
1080 TI now considering that the highest

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:38,680
clocked r 5 CPU is still a 3.6 GHz base

34
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:40,280
4 GHz boost chip the same as the 1800x

35
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:46,440
we're pretty certain that we're not going to see any performance difference

36
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,920
in single-threaded tasks with the 1600 X

37
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:54,760
making it slower in multi-threaded workloads but potentially a wicked

38
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000
gaming chip there are some things to

39
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,680
keep in mind with these tests as AMD's

40
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,959
Precision boost is disable AED the moment a custom frequency is set we've

41
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:12,519
had to lock the frequencies of our slower clocked virtual CPUs since

42
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,519
Precision boost and xfr only kicked in

43
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:19,360
in lightly threaded workloads in our testing we chose to split the difference

44
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:27,400
between their base frequencies and maximum xfr clocks that is 3.75 GHz for

45
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:30,400
the 1400x and 3.6 GHz for the

46
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,400
1200X this clearly isn't 100 100%

47
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,840
accurate particularly since that puts our lower end chips running at a higher

48
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,680
base frequency while at full loads it

49
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,280
should still give us a ballpark representation for our overall

50
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:52,040
performance analysis across all of our tests finally we're uncertain at this

51
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:56,120
time whether disabling cores on ryzen

52
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:58,959
also disables extra cash so do keep that

53
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:04,319
in mind with all that boring stuff out of the way now though let's kick it off

54
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:10,680
with our gaming benchmarks today at 1080p since these are mid-range CPUs

55
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:16,639
that we're simulating we see our virtual 1600x performing better in DSX mankind

56
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:21,079
divided than the lower clocked but pricier

57
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:27,680
1700x rise of the Tomb Raider shows us more of the same while for Honor shows

58
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,919
our, 1400x also performing well with its

59
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,960
higher base frequency sadly an artifact of our methodology

60
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:41,880
since ryzen doesn't boost for that long at full load GTA 5 clearly will take all

61
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:47,720
the course and Cycles it can get while Ghost Recon wildlands on the other hand

62
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,240
shows only the i7 7700 K's

63
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:56,320
single-threaded performance pulling away with a measurable lead Doom gives the

64
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:02,080
7700k a much more significant lead with the ryzen series making a pretty linear

65
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:07,680
slope at after that and finally like GTA 5 Crisis 3 shows again a thirst for

66
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:14,160
everything with our 1200 X falling far behind thanks to its mere four cores and

67
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:16,560
four threads moving on to synthetics 3D

68
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Mark shows our ryzen platform generally outperforming the

69
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:27,479
7700k until we get all the way to our quad course and the same is true of szip

70
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:31,160
where even our 1600x outperforms its

71
00:05:27,479 --> 00:05:34,039
more expensive Intel rival PC Mark is

72
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:39,759
another highlight for AMD the 1600 X's performance is close to the 1800x and

73
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:45,759
another instance where our methodology benefited our 1400x in a way that won't

74
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:47,840
quite hold true in the real world the

75
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:54,000
1600x again pulls ahead in the single-threaded Y cruncher test but our

76
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,400
multi-threaded test brings us closer to

77
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
a kind of linear slope cinebench 2 shows

78
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:06,400
us fairly predictable results and except for the i7 which only beats the much

79
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,960
cheaper quadcore ryzen chips rounding

80
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,680
our test out ASUS realbench shows us its

81
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,160
preference for clock speed for image editing thread count on encoding and a

82
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:20,000
combination of the two in heavy multitasking with our benches stacking

83
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,160
up accordingly but to put all of that

84
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:33,639
performance stuff in the appropriate perspective we need to look at pricing

85
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:38,080
at24 9 the 1600x seems to hit the sweet

86
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:41,160
spot with its 1800x like performance in

87
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:46,720
everything but our most multi-threaded

88
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:49,919
benchmarks the 1400x at 169 seems like a

89
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,000
really solid value too considering its

90
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:55,120
thread parody with our i7 and decent

91
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:04,400
scoring which lands it at the top of the pack for performance per dollar the

92
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:06,639
1200X rumored at 149 is uh well AMD's

93
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:12,639
marketing is all about thread count and with only four ryzen just isn't pulling

94
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:18,360
quite as much weight however at that price it's actually our second best

95
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:24,720
performer per dollar placing it in an excellent position for a budget CPU and

96
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:30,199
if you've watched our ryzen OC guide you're probably thinking that this one

97
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:35,240
is actually much closer to the ath XP 2500 plus than the

98
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:41,440
1700x and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong though something our 8 core

99
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:47,520
processor cannot simulate is how hot these chips will run or how well they'll

100
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,440
overclock so that all remains to be

101
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,759
seen so with all of that said then we have to stress again that this isn't an

102
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:59,840
exact measurement in particular our 1400x and 1200X scores are likely

103
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,759
suffering from the loss of PR ision boost but taken with a grain of salt

104
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:11,560
these results should paint a pretty clear and pretty exciting picture one

105
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:17,520
that we can't wait to verify against the real

106
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:21,000
deal Zotac magnus1 series is one of the

107
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:26,919
smallest VR ready gaming PCs available

108
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,960
measuring at just 8.27 by7 by 2.45 in

109
00:08:26,919 --> 00:08:33,640
it's quiet while operating and it's light we at less than 8 lb making it

110
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:39,919
genuinely portable you can even get it with an NVIDIA GTX

111
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:43,760
1070 to go along with its skylet Core i5

112
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:47,600
6400t its dual HDMI 2.0 ports and its

113
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,640
compatibility for high-speed NVMe ssds

114
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:55,440
you can learn more at the link in the video description and get your
