For me I found it disheartening to see something like this :


Both 7700k and R7 1700 is about the same price. Roughly RM1.5~RM1.6k here I believe.
By the way, since Goldfries has sampled the R7 1800x, perhaps, can we know what is the Aida64 memory benchmark like ??
I will post my lowly work rig. I know you're bind by NDA until 28th Feb, however, you just have to say, can your 1800x do better than this and what kind of RAM are you using:

My CPU only worth RM1k. Our friend is selling
hereHonestly what do you expect with the gaming benchmark?
I think even the biggest amd fan kind of expected the result.
The benchmark was kinda unfair comparing intel cpu overclocked to amd on stock speed.
The amd cpu is supposed to run as low as 3.0 ghz that is 1ghz (or more) compared to intel's clock speed, of course the game such as GTA V which is cpu intensive will be more in favour of intel since i believe you have know that game cant utilize all that cores.
However i was quite surprised that the average fps of both the amd and intel on clock speed was almost the same.
I believe even AMD does not create the r7 1700 to beat the 7700k on gaming. That is why during the amd presentation, they only compared both of the cpu in term of gaming while streaming.
