The editors liked
65W TDP (Cool running
Impressive performance perWatt)
8/16 cores threads
Easy to overclock
Very competitive price
Supplied with RGB LED cooler
8 cores
16 threads for under £320
Impressive multi-core performance
Lower TDP than 1700X or 1800X
Wide range of modern AM4 boards
Makes Core i7 X99 seem ultra-expensive
Competitive price
8-Core w/ 16 Threads
New AM4 platform
Very easy to overclock
Can closely match the 1800X while overclocked
Precision Boost and XFR
Excellent performance in rendering (Cinebench)
Good gaming performance
Unlocked ratio multiplier
Lowcost eight core
65W TDP
Bundled cooler
Eight cores
Faster than the the Ryzen 7 1800X when overclocked
Excellent multi-threaded performance that is vastly superior to that of the Core i7-7700K
Competitive performance against Intel processors three times its price
Up to 3.75GHz XFR frequency helps single-threaded performance
Unlocked CPU multiplier and o
The editors didn't like
No XFRtechnology
Specific memory requirements
Single-thread is good but not great
Gaming optimisations still needed
None
Neutral
Memory performance still has a few bugs
But we expect these to be fixed with a BIOS update
Like all 8-core chips
It can get quite warm
So a powerful cooler is recommended
Price is very similar to the more established i7-7700K
“The Ryz
Lower stock performance than other Ryzen 7 models
Lower game performance than Intel processors
Poorly optimized software ecosystem
Low stock speed
Not as fast in lightly threaded tasks as Intel chips
Gaming performance is not best suited for ultra-high refresh rates and trails i7-7700K levels (outside of GPU-limited scenarios)
Lower memory frequency support compared to Kaby Lake

For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...
Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...
Abstract: AMD hadn't just announced a new processor architecture, but the dawning of a new manufacturing process in which the chips would be based on, 14nm which was a first for AMD. Not only was their new 14nm FinFET process to be more energy efficient, but would...

The 1700 performs well in heavily threaded workloads, but lags behind Intel's quad cores in most gaming scenarios. However, the Ryzen 7 1700 also offers the lowest entry-level price point for a modern eight-core processor and features enough overclock...

The Ryzen 7 1700 is really what I was hoping for from the first octa-core Zen-based chips. It's around the same price as Intel's eight-threaded quad-core i7 7700K, if a little cheaper, and runs rings around it from a straight CPU performance point of view...
