Slightly Rushed To The Market
Not really cons
But the few areas where Ryzen fell short of Intel were gaming performance and power consumption. Not great overclockers

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...

Great value for money, 8-Core w/ 16 Threads, Latest AM4 platform, Incredibly easy to overclock, Performance similar to the flagship 1800X, Automatic overclocking, Good overall performance, Robust gaming performance,
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, Still a little more expensive than the 7700K, “The Ryzen R7 1700
PricingThe Ryzen 7 1700 comes in at just £332.60, while the 1700X comes with a small premium on top at just £360.57. If you want the best Ryzen has to offer, however, you'll have to step up, as the 1800X still costs £488.99. That makes the 1700X around th...

Superb multithreaded performance, Comfortably outperforms the similarlypriced Core i76800K in multithreaded tasks, Up to 3.9GHz XFR and 3.8GHz Precision Boost frequencies aid singlethreaded performance, Can be overclocked close to Ryzen 7 1800X frequencie
Gaming performance is not best suited for ultrahigh refresh rates and trails Core i76800K and i77700K levels (outside of GPUlimited scenarios), Some memory speed limitations – difficult pushing past 3.2GHz, Fewer PCIe lanes and dualchannel memory are comp
AMD's Ryzen 7 1700X continues the trend of superb price-vs-performance especially when competing against Intel's 6+ core HEDT chips. The 8C16T 1700X costs around £400, which is the same as a 6C12T Broadwell-E i7-6800K, but is able to offer performance clo...
8 cores, 16 threads for under £400, Impressive multi-core performance, Almost every bit as fast as the 1800X, Wide range of modern AM4 boards, Vastly improved power consumption, Gives Intel food for thought
Single-thread is good but not great, Gaming optimisations still needed, Limited overclocking potential
The launch of AMD's Ryzen processor is a significant milestone in the company's history. Such is the importance of the Zen architecture that it makes sense to step back and consider how much progress AMD has made.This time last week, the chip manufact...
Overall, then, the day has finally arrived that we thought would never come - a competitive CPU from AMD at the high end. There are some teething problems to get over, and don't expect as polished an experience as you would from an Intel Z270 system right...
Abstract: These days there are basically two different groups of customers who demand lots of processing power: content creators and gamers, while this 2D performance comparison is targeting content creators. After having had a look at the following pages you'll ha...
Great multi-threaded performance, Economical unlocked 8-core CPU
Ecosystem still to mature, Still not completely optimised for gaming
From what we've seen with the benchmarks, AMD's Ryzen 7 series offer a lot better performance given their much lower price point. Anomalies were plenty with some of the newer benchmarks with the Ryzen 5 processors which proved to be better. AMD's gain is...
While the numbers are impressive, gaming performance of Ryzen processors still leaves a lot to be desired. Not to mention that games are yet to be optimized for the Ryzen processors and DX 12, which can lead to better utilization of multiple CPU cores. Th...
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X retails at just RM 1,899 but when you compare price to performance, it floors the Ryzen 7 1800X as they're near identical but with the Ryzen 7 1700X running slightly cooler due to the lowered clock speed. My only dislike towards the...
Sometimes you don't have to be the absolute best to be a winnerIn a nutshell, Ryzen 5's main advantage over Intel's Core i5 range is the higher number of cores and threads it offers while sharing the same price bracket. That's not unlike what AMD offers w...
