Official AMD Ryzen Benchmarks, Reviews, Prices, and Discussion

[LTC8K6]

Joker did a followup video about his 1700 @ 3.9GHZ ~ 7700k @ 5GHz

Joker has a golden 1700, I guess.

 

[guachi]

At ultrawide with "only" 980 Ti SLI? They will probably tie.

Well, 1700 is pretty close to the only chip worth buying for anything.

I have no idea how difficult it is to program for >4 cores. But developers at least now know there is a mainstream 8 core chip for $330 that can be exploited for great performance. I could see that if Zen were out before BF 1 that the makers of the game might be tempted to do a demo on that and say, "See this great multiplayer performance and it won't break the bank!"

At least AMD has given gamers and others a real reason to look at their use cases (gaming and otherwise) and see if Ryzen will work. It will for me as I have a 4k monitor. Even at 1080, those BF1 numbers are so crazy good I could see someone who was a big fan buy a Ryzen chip just for that, for example.

I mean, coupled L3 did not affect OC on Skylake that much, you could generally only squeeze like 200-300 more with decoupled L3.

AMD has moved to a 5x faster L3 cache. And.. 200~300Mhz extra on Ryzen is a big deal - that's the difference between 4.0Ghz on all cores and 4.3Ghz on all cores... or the difference of being a horrendous overclocker to being a decent overclocker.

 

[krumme]

Lol! Are you serious? bjt2 has earned a little teasing in my opinion.

yeaa. Thats okey . but zen looks like a 2.6 to 4GHz desing to me. It will neither go higher and benefit much from going lower. It isnt way way of the frequency as it was said.
If anything it looks like narrow band to me vs. Intel process.

 

[SketchMaster]

Would reviewers notice throttling with RyZen?

Just trying to come up with a reason for score variability...

Not very much: http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreview...review-premiere-blender-fps-benchmarks/page-4

I am not sure what you mean by a golden 1700. There has been no indication as to what these CPUs will OC to.

There's been no explanation of why it's beating the 7700K and the 1800X.

The results seem at odds with everyone else.

Isn't he using a Gigabyte board though, and the others using the ASUS? Might just be down to the bios.

Check my post a page or two up.

Stock 1800X all-core turbo with XFR enabled is 3.7GHz.

A 1700 overclocked to 3.9GHz on all-cores will beat a stock 1800X.

Add in the fact he's running ultra settings up to 1440p and you have your answer.

 

[krumme]

So please help me out here. Would an 1800X @ 4Ghz be faster in gaming than a 3930k@4.6? I honestly don't know the answer to that question.

No.
Sorry. You have to wait and forget it. It doesnt make sense except for efficiency. 3930k@4.6 is fast where and when it matters excactly like Ryzen.

He is using a gigabyte board and he is running the games at 1080p ultra.

If you are talking about a stock 1800x, that runs at 3.7 GHz all cores (with XFR). Joker is running 3.9 GHz on all cores.

We don't know if the 1800X was stock. If the explanation was that easy, wouldn't we have heard it by now?

What 1800x review are you talking about in particular?

Here is Joker's 1800x Review,

As joker said in his 1700 review, the numbers are nearly identical. Which makes sense given it's the same CPU at 3.9 GHz.

What 1800x review are you talking about in particular?

[french toast]

1800X is 4.1 single core/XFR and AMD was going for 4.1 all core in the demo which lost the feed before we could see the results.

Ive just had a quick look around and it does seem there is an issue with ryzen gaming, for gaming benchmarks gamernexus and digital foundfy are my most trusted sites, it doesn't paint ryzen in a great picture gaming from launch.

However it seems the problem is optimization related, all games are optimized for intels uarch, ryzen is brand new with its own intricacys, lisa su has just confirmed this on reddit, judging by the strong performance in all other benchmarks i happen to believe her.

So for gaming for the time being you want an intel processor, especially for high fps 1080p, 1440p and 4k makes no difference.
It will take a few months to sort out the bios and patch games.

In raw, peak fps, your 6 core is faster.

 

[StinkyPinky]

As I've said previously, the X models are just factory overclocks for those that really don't want to overclock themselves (which is the majority). Sure you may be able to eek out a bit more with some cooling and software tweaking, but the 1700 is the CPU for people that want more extreme overclocking. THat's my take on it.

 

[LTC8K6]

I just went over joker's two videos. The 1800X and the 1700 were both apparently only able to get to 3.9 all core. Meaning the results could easily flip-flop.

I am not seeing it. You might be mixing up the averages and the minimums he posted later.

1800x @ 3.9
111 151 154 102 107 122 75 140 147 137

1700 @3.9
112 154 154 97 107 120 72 138 146 137

That is like margin of error, which is what you would expect.

Well, I will just wait and see, rather than taking AMD's word for it that the chips will get better. Besides, Intel will be bringing new stuff soon, possibly very new, and we will be looking at that very hard.

Too late...I already posted that both chips were at the same overclock.

Which means it's foolish to buy the X chips.

You know what I'd like to see in these tests? Streaming benchmarks.

 

[PotatoWithEarsOnSide]

Watching that second Joker video. At the very end of the video (7:08 or so) the 7700k becomes a bottleneck; you see a huge drop-off in FPS versus the R7 1700, which itself is at around 70-80% utilisation at that point, and has around 10fps advantage at that point.

For the most part though, the 7700k is 2-3fps higher than the R7 1700, especially above 140fps.

Well, it's a given that more cores will equal more cores available for streaming and background tasks. So the 4C chips will lose those battles.

What causes the bottleneck, though?
