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
Solid 8 Core/16 Thread performance, Lower TDP of 65W for cooler operation, Our Sample overclocked to 3.9GHz easily, Suitable for content creation / video editing or render work, New AM4 platform, Very compelling price, Great CPU for a multi-purpose system
Still slightly slower in some single threaded applications
