While I love AMD, let's keep in mind this is comparing stock to stock.

If you're buying a 5960X/6950X and running it stock, you're a bit empty upstairs.

Great news either way if no hidden caveats!

Why would someone buy the most expensive CPU to overclock it? Isn't the point of buying the highest of the high ends that you're supposed to not need to overclock it?

Huh? No, I think you're confusing things.

I'm posting from my phone so will let someone else chime in more thoroughly, but that's absolutely the opposite of why you'd buy the top non-Xeons

Welcome to [H]. You buy the highest of the high ends...to take it even higher. And then if you're Kyle, you rip pieces of it off to try to take it even higher than that.

Until we have complete realism in a holodeck situation, we'll always want moar processing power!
 
I thought this section was the most interesting part of the demo with Linus:



This is a 6800k vs a 1700 (NON-X) as he has confirmed by hand in the demo. So the 1700 with 3.0ghz to 3.7ghz boost outperformed in BF1 single player a 6800k with 6c/12t 3.4ghz base 3.6ghz boost (if no turbo max 3.0 used).

I find that very reassuring.

EDIT I had been watching on my phone, Linus goofed, that is an 1800X clocked part beating the 6800K in BF1.

That the IPC is there, and appears to be working in games (again, we need a battery, and a focus on frametimes not average framerates to be sure), but the clocks need to be there too, and they aren't on these eight-core parts.

I wouldn't spend double to get something slower, if my goal was gaming.

I guess I'm just too much of a reminiscer of the 300A/BH6 days or the E6400. Now while I overclock my GTX 1060 it's been years since I bothered to overclock a CPU.
 
Preordered the 1700x on Microcenter. Hopefully they have motherboards for me when I get there on the 2nd!
 
They need to hurry up and make an ITX Ryzen Motherboard. Then my money would have left my account by now...
 
PayPal on standby for those that wish to be in the vanguard...

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Breaks Cinebench R15 Multi-Thread World Record – Overclocked to 5.2 GHz on All 8 Cores With LN2 Cooling

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X put through the test in Cinebench R15 at 5.2ghz. The chip was cooled with LN2 and voltage was bumped to 1.875V using LN2 cooling which kept the chip operating at -200c.

At these speeds, the chip was able to score 2449 Cinebench points in the multi-threaded tests, breaking the previous world record of 2410 Cinebench points.

I think this benchmark is bullshit and here is why

This is on 10 Core xeon running 3.2Ghz with 800Mhz disadvantage based on i7 5960x Haswell E core.
 
Neat. I hope all this hype turns into reality. But until NDA lifts and we have multiple confirmations, keep your wallet closed.
 
AMD Ryzen 1700X New Benchmarks Leaked, Beats Kaby Lake IPC

The 1700X was clocked at 3.4GHz with Turbo disabled. The Core i5 7500 was running at the base clock speed of 3.4GHz with Turbo enabled at 3.8GHz.

Because in single-threaded workloads the i5 7500 operates at its maximum Turbo frequency of 3.8GHz this means we’re looking at a 3.4GHz vs 3.8GHz single-core vs single-core comparison.

The Ryzen 7 1700X manages to match Kaby Lake exactly, scoring 111 points despite a 12% clock speed deficit.

I agree. In fact i think the smartest thing is to wait for Skylake-x on new 2066 socket with really competitive pricing not to mention that Ryzen chipset is really crippled.
 
Sorry by i don't play user bench. I want to see things in gaming where no platform is going to be crippled by any means.

Here is how badly Ryzen is doing in gaming

Love how you completely discredit everything that's posted which includes live videos demos..etc

And choose to believe a random single image posted by a random source with no links whatsoever. :)

I find this failure on Ryzen part comparing 8 core vs 6 core where Intel 6 core is running default clock stock speed. It tells me that Ryzen is bad for gaming. Should i also say that Intel is running only dual memory channel with crippled PCIe setup. AMD didn't pick 7700k because Kaby Lake eats it.

No. According to Linux in Battlefield 1 Ryzen 8 core barely beats stock Intel 6 core which means exactly what i said. AMD Ryzen is no faster than Intel i can assure you that in fact it is going to lose in every game against Kaby Lake. Only good think about Ryzen is pricing...

A 5GHz 7700K gets 1FPS average lower than stock but much higher min and max?!? right.....

#Fakebenches

EDIT::confused::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::facepalm:

It has the strong look of assigning importance to the wrong numbers, anyway. The minimum instantaneous and maximum instantaneous numbers aren't very important, even in that graph the stock 1700 is within 4% of a 5GHz overclocked i7. If the guy's point was that the graph says something of significance I don't think it's the thing he's thinking it does.

I mean, i can think of such scenario.

But yeah, #fakenews is more likely.

Though it looks like there are quite a few qual samples hitting the youtube right now.
 
Soon. Just to let you know Ryzen will lose in all games against Kaby Lake.


Besides gaming, other things I do consist a lot of video editing, HD & 4K videos encoding/conversion, and lately started getting into 3D rendering using Maya & Cinema 4D. All which benefits hugely from more cores, which is where Ryzen will annihilate the 7700k. Even if it is slower than Kaby Lake for gaming, it's right up there with Intel's 6900k which itself is a extremely capable gaming processor.

Also more and more modern games are already starting to benefit from the additional cores. :)

Exactly. I remember Excavator and Bulldozer. Perhaps people should read up.

Except AMD only released a few slideshows of floating point performance, and one synthetic benchmark. After that they kept extremely quiet.

This time they're more than happy to show live demos comparisons. But yeah, you have a good point.
 
Either way my take on this is: Already invested in Intel platform. AMD chipset is crippled allowing me only to run SLI in 2x8x speed where in x99 i can do 2x16. Also x99 offers quad memory channel. Ryzen is a good performer but won't beat Intel in gaming in other words AMD is late 10 years and all they managed is to match Intel performance along with crippled chipset to keep a cost down. No, thanks. It is cheap and that is awesome in a sense that i will be able to get 2066 socket and Skylake-x for much cheaper than what Intel originally planned ;) and thanks to AMD for that.

It would be really funny If Intel cut the price down across the board and decide to drop 12 / 24 Broadwell to i7 series. If i was Intel i would totally drop 8 core down to $350 and charge 10 core for $500 and release 12/24 for $700. AMD would have no answer for that.

Glad you got it all figured out. 16x16 and 8x8 make no difference in most configurations as of now. In crossfire/sli, they are hamstrung in the same way. Most people are going single GPU nowadays due to the lackluster multigpu support.

Good on you for getting what you want. :)


The fact that AMD being a much smaller company with signicantly less money, managed to catch up to the much larger Intel is a huge achievement, and just goes to show Intel has been sitting on their laurels for far too long.
