okay so the accepted wisdom is that shrinking transistor sizes will make our
CPUs perform better and consume less
power and this has generally been true
but if you were to talk to someone with an AMD based computer who's been waiting
to upgrade you might not know it as team
red hasn't given us a noteworthy update of their Flagship CPU line since 20
freaking 12 meanwhile Intel has been
giving us new architectures and die shrinks fairly regularly leading to
decreased market share for AMD who I
guess you could say hadn't risen to the
challenge but all of that presumably is
about to change yes my friends that bad
pun in the topic of today's video AMD's allnew ryzen CPUs is here and AMD is
hoping that it'll give Intel some real competition and consumers some actual
choice in the processor market for the first time in a long time but what makes
ryen special and how does it stack up against the best from Team
blue well although AMD hasn't backed
down on their philosophy of cramming eight processor cores onto a single
consumer level chip this time around it
looks like there's a much greater focus on single-threaded performance
big news for both Gamers and H people
who use their computers for all the other common tasks that don't often
leverage multiple CPU cores AMD claims
that its topend ryzen chip the 1800x Beats Intel's latest Enthusiast
chips Broadwell e in single-threaded
tasks while legging a few percentage points behind K Lake which we found to
be generally the truth in our independent testing which you can check
out for yourself right here but how did they do that well aside from shrinking
their transistors to 14 nanometers which on par with Intel now AMD has baked in a
lot of smart features such as neural
network like Branch prediction functionality in which the CPU examines
data patterns to read ahead on the page so to speak better links between the
course and the CPU cache allowing the course to decode things concurrently and
thus turn instructions around much more quickly faster and more granular
switching between clock speeds which AMD calls Precision boost individual voltage
curves assigned for each chip at the factory and AMD's new Infinity fabric
interconnect for faster communication between the CPU and components like
memory graphics and down the line on their server platform other CPUs
and gone are the days of cores sharing
crucial resources a design choice that
hobbled AMD's old FX series chips that
shared a single floating Point Unit between two cores ryen has truly
discreet cores and what's more they've got simultaneous multi-threading which
is similar to Intel hyperthreading
technology add in greater power efficiency overclocking enable on every
chip as long as you pair it with a b or X Series chipset motherboard and Native
support for modern features like USB 3.11 gbit PCI Express 3.0 ddr4 memory
and NVMe for fast solid state storage
and ryzen looks like a winner but wait
how can it be a winner if it still isn't consistently outperforming an
i77700k well unsurprisingly the answer
to this question comes down to price the
structure of the ryzen lineup uncreative borrows from Intel at the highend
instead of an i7 you get a ryzen 7 which
at this time is an 8 core 16 thread
product targeting high-end Gamers streamers and creative professionals
stepping down to take on the I5 you get
you guessed it ryzen 5
but instead of being limited to four cores with no smt AMD's lineup in this
price range will include four and six core Solutions with
smt Wow moving down the stack ryzen 3
looks poised to deliver cor I5 like performance at a COR I3 like price so no
smt but with four physical cores it should be very competitive given that
unconfirmed pricing leaks indicate it'll be starting at about 129 us so then is
ryzen right for you well that depends do
you like spending less money okay but seriously it's not that simple do keep
in mind that on the other side Intel still edges ahead in performance in many
applications and offers some platform exclusive features not found on ryzen
such as Thunderbolt 3 optained memory technology and a maximum of 40 PCI
Express Lanes compared to ryzen's 24 but
if your workloads benefit from more course and you don't want to spend an
ARM in a leg to get the absolute highest benchmark scores or render times ryzen
just might be appealing enough to find a home in your next PC especially if
developers who have been understandably focused on Intel for the last 5 years or
so really start optimizing games and programs for AMD's all new architecture
and regardless of who you ultimately buy your CPU from a quality chip from AMD
probably means Intel will be forced to get more aggressive a good thing for
everyone unless of course you're the type of person who eats big plate small
food dinners six nights a week do you ever find yourself running out of time
as a freelancer or a small business owner well you're not alone because
thanks to the internet there have never been more opportunities for the
self-employed and freshbooks accounting software is all about making it easier
for you to work the way you want without getting it's all tied up in Little
Numbers things here and you know little
accounting details there it's all about making it easy to be more productive be
more organized and perhaps most importantly get paid more quickly you
can create and send professionall looking invoices in less than 30 seconds
