00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:08.320
guys guys you won't believe where I've

00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:10.759
been or when I've returned from the far

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:18.400
off time of Q3 2017 after the launches of AMD's ryzen 5

00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:21.359
and ryzen 3 and you don't want to know

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:26.320
what happens between now and then but anyway that's not important right now

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.279
what is important is I've brought back a

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:35.680
little souvenir Welcome to our ear early

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:38.799
preview of ryzen 3 and ryzen

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.199
5 the Phoenix oour is a full-sized

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.840
minimalistically designed keyboard complete with Cherry MX switches and a

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:58.399
new white backlit variant check it out at the link

00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:02.039
below okay okay so I'm no do brown and I

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.800
drive a Lambo not a DeLorean so we

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

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:17.159
5 or a ryzen 3

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:20.040
chip or do we no no we don't this right

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:26.840
here is our ryzen 7 1800x and what we're going to do is use

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:30.119
our Motherboard BIOS to match the core

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:34.399
counts and frequencies that AMD has

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:37.439
announced and see how they might stack

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:40.159
up you may have your doubts about this

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:47.920
method but we've demonstrated in the past that it works shockingly well in

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.320
this video here so which chips will we

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:57.719
be testing then well aside from our ryzen 7 1800x and

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:01.880
1700x as real world baselines and a core

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:04.439
i7 7700 K to rep present the blue team

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:12.800
we're taking the ryzen 5600x and 1400x and the ryzen 3 1200X

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.959
Forest spin we'll be doing it all with

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:20.000
our replacement ASUS crossair 6-based

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:22.879
ryzen test bench and as for our GPU

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.480
we'll be testing with our new FPS per dollar high performance King the GTX

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:34.319
1080 TI now considering that the highest

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:38.680
clocked r 5 CPU is still a 3.6 GHz base

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.280
4 GHz boost chip the same as the 1800x

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:46.440
we're pretty certain that we're not going to see any performance difference

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.920
in single-threaded tasks with the 1600 X

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:54.760
making it slower in multi-threaded workloads but potentially a wicked

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:58.000
gaming chip there are some things to

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:00.680
keep in mind with these tests as AMD's

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:05.959
Precision boost is disable AED the moment a custom frequency is set we've

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:12.519
had to lock the frequencies of our slower clocked virtual CPUs since

00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:14.519
Precision boost and xfr only kicked in

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:19.360
in lightly threaded workloads in our testing we chose to split the difference

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:27.400
between their base frequencies and maximum xfr clocks that is 3.75 GHz for

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.400
the 1400x and 3.6 GHz for the

00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.400
1200X this clearly isn't 100 100%

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.840
accurate particularly since that puts our lower end chips running at a higher

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:39.680
base frequency while at full loads it

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.280
should still give us a ballpark representation for our overall

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:52.040
performance analysis across all of our tests finally we're uncertain at this

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:56.120
time whether disabling cores on ryzen

00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:58.959
also disables extra cash so do keep that

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

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:10.680
with our gaming benchmarks today at 1080p since these are mid-range CPUs

00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:16.639
that we're simulating we see our virtual 1600x performing better in DSX mankind

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:21.079
divided than the lower clocked but pricier

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:27.680
1700x rise of the Tomb Raider shows us more of the same while for Honor shows

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.919
our, 1400x also performing well with its

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.960
higher base frequency sadly an artifact of our methodology

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

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:47.720
the course and Cycles it can get while Ghost Recon wildlands on the other hand

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.240
shows only the i7 7700 K's

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:56.320
single-threaded performance pulling away with a measurable lead Doom gives the

00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:02.080
7700k a much more significant lead with the ryzen series making a pretty linear

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:07.680
slope at after that and finally like GTA 5 Crisis 3 shows again a thirst for

00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:14.160
everything with our 1200 X falling far behind thanks to its mere four cores and

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:16.560
four threads moving on to synthetics 3D

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:21.000
Mark shows our ryzen platform generally outperforming the

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

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:31.160
where even our 1600x outperforms its

00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:34.039
more expensive Intel rival PC Mark is

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:39.759
another highlight for AMD the 1600 X's performance is close to the 1800x and

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:45.759
another instance where our methodology benefited our 1400x in a way that won't

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:47.840
quite hold true in the real world the

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:54.000
1600x again pulls ahead in the single-threaded Y cruncher test but our

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.400
multi-threaded test brings us closer to

00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.000
a kind of linear slope cinebench 2 shows

00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:06.400
us fairly predictable results and except for the i7 which only beats the much

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.960
cheaper quadcore ryzen chips rounding

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:11.680
our test out ASUS realbench shows us its

00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:16.160
preference for clock speed for image editing thread count on encoding and a

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:20.000
combination of the two in heavy multitasking with our benches stacking

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.160
up accordingly but to put all of that

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:33.639
performance stuff in the appropriate perspective we need to look at pricing

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:38.080
at24 9 the 1600x seems to hit the sweet

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:41.160
spot with its 1800x like performance in

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:46.720
everything but our most multi-threaded

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:49.919
benchmarks the 1400x at 169 seems like a

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.000
really solid value too considering its

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:55.120
thread parody with our i7 and decent

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:04.400
scoring which lands it at the top of the pack for performance per dollar the

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:06.639
1200X rumored at 149 is uh well AMD's

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:12.639
marketing is all about thread count and with only four ryzen just isn't pulling

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:18.360
quite as much weight however at that price it's actually our second best

00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:24.720
performer per dollar placing it in an excellent position for a budget CPU and

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:30.199
if you've watched our ryzen OC guide you're probably thinking that this one

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:35.240
is actually much closer to the ath XP 2500 plus than the

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:41.440
1700x and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong though something our 8 core

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:47.520
processor cannot simulate is how hot these chips will run or how well they'll

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:50.440
overclock so that all remains to be

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

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:59.840
exact measurement in particular our 1400x and 1200X scores are likely

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:05.759
suffering from the loss of PR ision boost but taken with a grain of salt

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:11.560
these results should paint a pretty clear and pretty exciting picture one

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:17.520
that we can't wait to verify against the real

00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:21.000
deal Zotac magnus1 series is one of the

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:26.919
smallest VR ready gaming PCs available

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:28.960
measuring at just 8.27 by7 by 2.45 in

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

00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:39.919
genuinely portable you can even get it with an NVIDIA GTX

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.760
1070 to go along with its skylet Core i5

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:47.600
6400t its dual HDMI 2.0 ports and its

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:49.640
compatibility for high-speed NVMe ssds
