AMD's revised Zen architecture is more than just a simple refresh. The Zen+ architecture has been improved significantly and is now capable of achieving higher performance levels at virtually unchanged energy requirements. The Ryzen 7 2700X is the new fla...

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (Price Check) is not only faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (Price Check), it is also cheaper and offers more value.Priced at just US$ 329 / RM 1,559, the Ryzen 7 2700X is $20 cheaper, and now comes with an AMD Wraith Prism cooler! T...
I admit that despite all of the testing I've been involved with the past few weeks, it feels like I rushed through Ryzen second-gen testing, and honestly, I'm surprised to be making the embargo lift. Beyond this point, I'm thinking I'll probably wait for...
AMD made a nice step forward with what is pretty much a bit of a die-shrink and tweaking. When you look at absolute and average numbers the 2700X is certainly a good 10% faster than a 1800X, however considering the price, what you really need to be compar...

Abstract: Today marks the initial start of AMD's pre-sale of 2nd Generation Ryzen processors. The full launch is set for April 19th, which is when reviews and performance numbers will be officially available, but today we are able to tell you a bit about the proces...
I would like to mention that both CPUs behaved nearly identical when it came to voltage requirements. Both CPUs were stable at 4.0 GHz and 1.3V set in BIOS, 4.2 GHz with 1.4V and 4.3 GHz with 1.45V set in BIOS. Anyone familiar with the Ryzen platform will...
I can assuredly say that the Ryzen 2700X is the best desktop CPU that AMD has ever built. AMD has gotten its power usage in line with the 12nm process that allows its new Precision Boost 2 technology to shine and shine incredibly brightly. There are a ton...
