Price. Limited value for money
Conclusion
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel
Limited overclocking headroom
Higher Peak Power Than Predecessors
Max Overclocked Frequencies Still Much Lower Than Intel
Needs a better cooler for overclocking
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
Large performance deficit compared to a stock Ryzen 7 2700X
Still no overclocking headroom
Not super-new design
Single-threaded performance still lower than Intel's
Limited overclocking potential
Memory still a bit more problematic than on Intel
Lacks integrated graphics
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
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...

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...
