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
AMD has done exactly what it needed to with both the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X, closing the gaps between it and Intel in those lightly-threaded tests (including games) while also extending its lead in multi-threaded applications, where it's now in a...

Abstract: The new AMD Ryzen 2700X & 2600X CPUs are here – and I've got my hands on them to do a full review. Let's see how much better this second generation Ryzen (Zen+) really is! Want one? 2700X: prourls.co/5zs2 2600X: prourls.co/mrq8 Products shown provided by...
Even more competitive multi-threaded performance, Entire range now arrives with Wraith cooler, Improves on every aspect over previous generation, Faster and better memory support, More aggressive pricing, Precision Boost 2 and XFR2 are much improved, Ide
Still lacks single core performance compared to Intel, Struggles in memory intensive applications, 105W TDP compared to previous 95W on 1800X, Increased power consumption compared to previous Gen
Despite taking the industry by storm last year, AMD weren't happy. There were aspects which needed attention in order to truly scare Intel. Memory performance and latency, as well as slow CPU cache, caused considerable issues with the previous generation...

PricesThe Sapphire Nitro+ VEGA 64 graphics card is available from most major retailers. At the time of writing, it was just £679.68 on Amazon. The Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti ranges anywhere from £700 to over a £1000 depending which model and which retailer you vi...

PricingThe AMD Ryzen range launched just over a year ago, with the top of the range Ryzen 7 1800X costing around £488/$499. That's all changed now, as you can pick up a 1800X for as little as £255, a 1700X for £224. If that's not fantastic value, the Ryze...
Solid value, Impressive multi-core performance, All chips unlocked, Lots of motherboard choice
Single-thread is better but not great, Limited all-core overclocking headroom
AMD has bolstered the Ryzen line-up by announcing four CPUs today. These performance second-generation chips are marketed as the 2000-series family and now augment the G-series models released earlier this year.The purpose of these processors is to en...

Limited overclocking headroom, No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is another big step forward for AMD. The improved boost algorithms add to Ryzen's performance advantage in heavily-threaded applications, while the increased frequency and reduced memory latency provide a boost to a wide range of workl...

This makes Dave a happy panda. This is a high-end AMD processor that makes me question why anyone would now buy the 8700K or 9900K instead. We've genuinely got serious competition in the CPU market once more, with AMD pushing Intel as hard as it's ever do...

Abstract: The launch of the new Ryzen processors and the latest AM4 X470 chipset motherboards is almost upon us. AMD has been kind enough to let us (and no doubt a fair few others) share a few pictures of the stunning review kit they sent out to us. As you can see...
