AMD launched their newest Ryzen CPUs to great fanfare back in March and while we found performance to be good in our launch review of the Ryzen 1700, we noted that there were quite a few growing pains that needed to be fixed before Ryzen could really shi...
Having spent the past few months with the Ryzen 7 1800X as my production platform, I'd have to say that the Ryzen 7 series in general is very impressive and a solid offering from AMD. In my real world testing, the Ryzen 7 1800X was able to handle everythi...

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...

The AMD Ryzen 7 is, no doubt, the most anticipated processor to be introduced in 2017. This is the 8-core processor that AMD fans always wanted, but AMD did not quite deliver… until now. That changes with the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor.Based on current b...
The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is definitely a far more powerful processor than the Intel Core i7-6700K. It has twice as many cores, and far more memory bandwidth. It was fantastic in 3D rendering and video transcoding, delivering 70-85% better performance. Sadly...

"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...

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...

You've read the reviews, we've highlighted their pros and cons, and now we are putting them together on a single CPU comparison. On deck for this one we tested 8 processors in 9 games at not only 1080p, but also 720p and 1440p, amounting to more than 650...
Wrapping up with the 720p data first, these low-res results are important for a few reasons, though for some they can be a bit misleading. They're important because they show us the true difference between CPUs in these games. With any speed limits remove...

Given the recent BIOS improvements for Ryzen and the ever-advancing state of Linux and components like Mesa (although no recent Ryzen-specific work), here are some fresh tests of the current high-end Ryzen 7 1800X compared to an Intel Core i7 7700K on Ubu...

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...

One of the small issues with the way that the review business works is the fact that we're always testing launch products on launch BIOS. At the time that is fine because it is the very latest hardware and software available. It would be lovely if we had...
Finally we're here, we've done what you've asked - nay shouted at - us to do and returned to the AMD Ryzen CPUs with the latest BIOS and retail CPU's, put them through their paces and discovered if an up-to-date BIOS and programs can transform the Zen per...

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...
