Quite how AMD's range of Ryzen CPUs would pan out in terms of stock and overclocked performance was anyone's guess, but we're getting a clearer picture of how things stand, at least with the flagship Ryzen 7 range. Today we're looking at the Ryzen 7 1700...
What we have here is somewhat of an overclocker's dream. While anything much over 4GHz is going to be tricky, at least until we see improvements AMD's end, the Ryzen 7 1700 is still able to dish out a 1GHz overclock over its base frequency of 3GHz and thi...

I thought that the Ryzen 7 1800X was a great CPU, that is why I gave it the second highest award we offer at TweakTown. It's a great CPU that does very well against Intel's HEDT's 8-core CPUs and does so at a remarkably lower price. However, that price, $...

Fundamentally, not much separates the three Ryzen 7s except clock-speeds. The 1700X drops a couple of hundred megahertz, but saves you £130/$100. Meanwhile, the entry-level 1700 sees a 3.0GHz base clock - some way off the top-tier model's 3.6GHz - but off...
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...

Don't let negative vibes fool you. AMD has released an excellent design that far surpasses what the release was like of the FX-8350 years ago. If it wasn't for Ryzen 5, I'd tell everyone to get a Ryzen 7 1700. If you can use 8 cores though, you should...

Buying an 8-core processor was a wallet ripping affair prior to the arrival of Ryzen. In absence of competition, the Intel Broadwell-E Core i7-6900K was ridiculously overpriced at $1,050. Intel has had to make changes to its HEDT platform by releasing the...
We have some interesting results to discuss. Let's start with the Core i7-6900K and 7820X.It was shocking to find that when comparing clock-for-clock performance using the same memory speed on both setups, the older 6900K was faster in every single game w...

"It can't just be that we're the cheaper solution," said AMD in 2015, back when Ryzen was little more than a handful of hopeful slides in a press deck. But as AMD and the wider tech press knew, competing with Intel on performance as well as price was alwa...

Ryzen 7 vs. IntelIt is certainly not an easy task to classify the Ryzen CPUs. The octa-core chips convince with dream results in the synthetic benchmarks and even beat much more expensive rivals with ease.However, we cannot give a full recommendation, bec...

So by now even most of the gamers and geeks that I know that don't even follow hardware launches have been talking about AMDs RYZEN launch. It's an almost unprecedented launch and there are a few reasons for it. While Intel has been chugging away with the...
Man, there is just so much to take in with this launch. I've gone through the testing and even though I have to follow up (hopefully) later on today when our 1700 comes in with its performance. I can say that testing Ryzen as a whole has been a roller...

Since the announcement of AMD's mid-range offerings, it was clear that Ryzen 5 is going to have some major advantages over its direct price competition. For $250, the top Ryzen 5 1600X gives six cores and twelve threads of AMD's latest microarchitecture...
We have already shown in previous reviews that the Zen microarchitecture from AMD is around the equivalent of Intel's Broadwell microarchitecture, but at this lower price point we have AMD's Zen against Intel's Kaby Lake, which is two generations newer th...

Today marks AMD's grand re-entry to the high-end processor market after abandoning it years ago when they found that they were no longer competitive in that market. AMD exiting the high performance desktop computing market was a shock to many and it left...
AMD sees Ryzen 7 processors as being the perfect fit for multi-threaded (nT) work with slightly lower single threaded (1T) performance. Our testing shows that is true for the most part. In applications where all cores are being used the 8-Core, 16-Thread...

After much anticipation, the Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700 CPUs are finally here. The internet has been buzzing since launch and not everything has been in-favor of the new architecture. My personal experience so far has been great, really, and I feel AM...

One of the biggest advantages of the latest AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X 8-core processors over the Intel i7-6900K is that they are far more affordable with a performance that almost matches head-on. And if you think that the new Ryzen 7 chips are still ou...

Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel's next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and...
So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...

Thankfully, it not only costs less than the Ryzen 7 1800X, but it also sports a super-low TDP of just 65W – less than half the TDP of Intel's 8-core Core i7-6900K, which could make it an extremely power-frugal 8-core CPU.Out of the box, it has som...
The Ryzen 7 1700 offers better multi-threaded performance than the more expensive Core i7-6850K and similarly priced Core i7-7700K, and matches the latter's low power consumption. What's more, once it's overclocked, it performs similarly to its pricier si...

Intel's new i7-9700K is available for about $400 to $430, which lands it between the 9900K – priced at around $550, on a good day – and the 8700K's $370 price-point. We got ours for $400, looking to test the new 8C/8T CPU versus the not-that-old 8700K and...
The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

Today we're reviewing the Intel i5-9600K CPU, a 6-core 8th-Generation refresh part that's been badged as a 9000-series CPU. The 9600K is familiar to the 8600K, except soldered and boosted in frequency. The new part costs roughly $250 and runs at 3.7GHz b...
By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Raven Ridge APUs are interesting as products. In a world where MSRP acted as an infallible decree handed down by galactic overlords, the GT 1030 would cost $70, the RX 560 would cost $100, and the G4560 would always have been $60. In this world, however...
The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3 2...

Today we'll be looking at the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16-core and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12-core processors. These processors are the the tip of the spear for AMD and are aimed at the high-end desktop market. This completes the AMD Ryzen proces...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...
