AMD announce their Ryzen 7 series of CPUs

[WYP]

AMD has now announced their new Ryzen 7 series 8-core of CPUs, coming with TDPs of as little as 65W and highly competitive pricing.

I'm waiting for the four core 8 thread CPUS to be released for Mrs Tolemac her rig is showing its age now and it stops her nagging

Ryzen 1700x is going to be my choice, it is just looking fantastic.

That's what I'm doing with my mrs PC. I'm going for the 1700X myself, can't justify the price hike between that and the 1800X when there's only a 200MHz difference, something you can easily achieve with a little OC

Now here's the question; wait for the R5 six-cores or go for the R7 1700?

I don't see the point of that either, but its still half the price of intel and beats it, a good cpu for people that want to fit and forget without any overclocking.

I think the six core is the sweet spot price/performance wise myself.

 

[Shingara]

Well im getting the 1800x myself, i know that its only 200mhz difference on the stock and boost, but xfr is at play here, and its obvious the 1800x are the ultra binned aka black edition cpus.

In all honesty though if you did OC the 1700x by that 200mhz it still wouldn't increase it that much...and by that I mean if you increased it to the speeds of the 1800x it might be similar in performance to it..or it might be lower or higher. All of that type of thinking is a gamble until we see benchmarks and OC3D does internal testing on them to figure out all the variables we still don't know (single core performance, thread performance, etc)

Oh absolutely, i need to see reviews, But there is no question really, that value for money wise, amd is just slamming their nail home and i wouldn't care that much if they were behind a little to intels in whatever test, there will always be a benchmark in favor of the competition and that is fine, but what that video showed was prettymuch what the general public wanted and needed to see, and i think amd is in a great position here.

If only you'd given us some kind of advance warning that they'd be doing this TTL

 

[NeverBackDown]

So excited I just might impulse pre order

 

[AlienALX]

£319 on OCUK for the 1700 pre order.
£359 for the 1700x
£488 for the 1800x.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Torn between 1700 and 1700x

Hard to tell atm. I would go with the 1700 though personally. I don't think there will be a massive difference. I still think the X denotes something that will be useless to an enthusiast.

From what I hear from a mate who is hard core into the benching scene.. He reckons the 1800x has done 5.2ghz on LN2. Which apparently is higher than the 5960x.

I would expect desktop clocks of 4.2-4.4? hard to say atm.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Wanted the Crosshair too, but it's sold out. Lol that was fast.
Really just don't know XFR working with the 1700. Does it have it or not? Is it limited in OC due to TDP restrictions? etc etc.

Don't know if any of you watched the YT vid, but Ryzen mobile in 2H of 2017. That'll be huge too.

peeps should wait till benches are out though before spending the moolah

TBH if the "leaked" results are anything to go by then these have already been reviewed. I go for Cinebench and 3dmark Firestrike physics. That's how I grade a CPU.

 

[Spiderz]

If the hype is real and the hex-cores perform well, they will end up replacing the trusty old Phenom II. Now come on Samsung and get your Magician software working with AMD and I'll be sold

You trying to stop our beloved hype train?!
