this is a very good cpu to use in hardcore gaming, very supported cpu to increase the performance in gaming

it is getting interesting

We already have 28Ghz worth of processing power lol. In real world 30 secs differences is not that long but yea in gaming even half a second late is what set the winner and loser apart but I am gaming with just an a8 5600k with max turbo 4.4ghz, no problemo. The lag spikes caused by ISP and their networks is more table flipping keyboard smashing than a budget rig.

Good to see it even at 3.9ghz pwnd 5.0ghz 7700k as in letting the gpu works its magic. Though we all know single core intel still the king.

The only CPU I'm interested in (and probably can only afford ) is 1500X... Can't wait to see how if works in Total War games (which has never been AMD CPU friendly before).

If it performs on par with i5 7600 then it's sure buy from me.

I'm hoping for good sub-RM400 B350 boards, that will make AMD much much more competitive in the midrange segment.

Me too, 1500X processor, B350 motherboard, 32gb ram

Ryzen R5 1600 Leaked Benchmark

Unfortunately RAM at that speed costs quite a fair bit.

From my own tests, some games do benefit from faster RAM.

No need to wait too long, as game devs see more cores they will also utilize it. Eventually the gap will close on its own without having to go high speed DDR4 - well, that's what I think la.

The CCX (Bus that connects different core modules together) runs at half of the RAM speed, that could explain why faster RAM would give higher performance

Quite worried about B350 VRM running 8 core. I think I'll stick to X370 with 16-phase VRM if I gonna buy it.

where to buy the ASROCK mobo? btw, the wraith cooler that comes with 1700 need to be modified when attach to the motherboard. why dont amd make it compatible straight away? isnt it a stock cooler?

How much expected price for 1500X processor & B350 motherboard?

What is the fastest RAm that this board can support ?

Many shops you can get ASRock board. Which model are you looking at?

asrockmy

1700 cooler doesn't need to be modified. It's AM4 bracket, it fits with any AM4 board.

thanks for your explanation. im looking for asrock AB350 Pro4. just for a budget mobo not for overclocking.

TTL @ OC3D overclocked 1800X on MSI B350 Tomahawk at 4.0GHz (1.4Vcore) without much issue. He said the voltage reading was much more stable compared to other more expensive X370 boards he had.
Other than that he just had to manually tune the RAM to run at 3200mhz.

i cant wait for 1600x XD

That's cool. Need 8 core to run heavy stuffs for me. Haven't decided yet cause I'm still looking around.

This is just my wild imagination and speculation.

I think Ryzen 3 will be a single CCX processor based on early Raven Ridge with iGPU and SMT disabled. Or it could have no on-die iGPU at all, since the Zen design is basically modular.

sharing my build...
