The editors didn't like
Still lacks single core performance compared to Intel
Struggles in memory intensive applications
105W TDP compared to previous 95W on 1800X
Increased power consumption compared to previous Gen
Single-thread is better but not great

Abstract: Last June AMD delivered on its promise to deliver an AMD CPU that performed better than ever before and Ryzen was born using AMD's Zen architecture. Just short of a year later, another Ryzen line is being released. Ryzen's 2nd generation CPUs were kicked...

Abstract: Although the timeline doesn't quite work out for Ryzen to have affected the engineering-side of Intel's decision to release a 6-core desktop processor, it's evident AMD's pressure changed Intel's pricing and release schedule.With little desktop competit...

Whew. So what do our reams of data tell us about AMD's second-gen Ryzen CPUs? Let's try and sum it all up with our trusty bang-for-the-buck scatter plots, starting with gaming performance. As a CPU reviewer, I've got to stomach a hard truth: the vast maj...
Well after a week and a half of testing, retesting old CPUs, testing motherboard, photos, videos, editing, and of course writing here we are. Now that I've had some time to live with the Ryzen 2000 Series CPUs I first have to say that AMD continues to...

Great productivity and allaround performance. Stock and OC'ed 2700X are mostly faster than the 8700K. Power
Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs
After a huge time investment into this debut review, I still feel like there's so much more that I want to test. However, we've covered the essentials and it should provide a good idea of how the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X compare to the current-gen...
Just a year ago I was given the opportunity to present the initial roll-out of the AMD Ryzen 7 and 5 CPUs, followed up shortly by the Ryzen 3 CPUs. With those reviews, I presented to you a new line up of AMD processors that proved capable of competing wit...
