QUOTE(soulfly @ Feb 11 2017, 10:02 PM) First Ryzen R7 1700X benchmark: https://videocardz.com/65825/first-amd-ryze...hmarks-are-hereBrief info on test setup CPU: R7 1700X 3.4GHZ (no turbo enabled or detected), 8c/16t Mobo: MSI A320-based RAM: DDR4-2400 @ 17-17-17-39 I assume the budget A320 will somehow disable turbo function or does not support XFR mode Wow, I want to believe. Zen has smaller floating point module than Intel. So inferior FP heavy computations is expected. But perfectly fine for most home users, gamers, even data centers. HPC market maybe in next Zen iteration.

QUOTE(AMDAthlon @ Mar 2 2017, 10:23 AM) It is already well known that if you are just purely gaming, you can go for kaby lake. But when the 4 core parts of ryzen released, it will be cheaper than kaby Lake and the performance may not too far from it and we might have to reconsider(depending on the performance) Ryzen R7 was supposed to be fight with the 8 core counterparts which is i7 6900x Some leaked shows cores can be disabled in some mobo bios. I would love to 4 active cores in 2+2 CCX combination benchmark affecting games. That would theoretically gives more headroom for overclock before reaching TDP. Plus, 16MB L3 cache in this settings might rival 7700k in single threaded test.

QUOTE(steven789 @ Mar 2 2017, 11:38 PM) After seeing all the benchmarks around the web, i can only conclude that Ryzen platform is poorly optimized. It's sad to see this as a result of Intel dominating the market for so many years and most software are optimized for Intel architecture. Nevertheless, this is a huge leap from AMD and this will definitely benefit all consumers. Well, I see Zen as a whole as disruptive architecture. It's not the best gaming CPU I admit, and that's okay. Because desktop enthusiast markets are rather small. Today, mobile and server segment where the real money is. After reading this very detailed post, looks like AMD power efficiency could seriously hurt Intel. No wonder AMD could design 32C/64T server CPU within 180W TDP. I wouldn't be surprised if next Surface Book/Pro or Macbook would be powered by AMD apu.

QUOTE(Vigilant @ Mar 3 2017, 11:22 AM) As always, it's about the hype. After so many years, there's nothing much on Ryzen. Might as well reduce their pricing more to compete. I wouldn't call Zen with terrific IPC/TDP as 'nothing much'. as I said before, today mobile and server market matters waaay more than desktop especially enthusiast.

QUOTE(cj7 @ Mar 5 2017, 10:04 AM) Any idea on power consumption? from many review site, power consumption higher than advertised. Neither vendors advertised their max power consumption. TDP means max power dissipation in heat; and TDP will always lower than power consumption. Most reviewers simply measure the whole system from wall using kill-a-watt which is very close to absolute value if dGPU is absent and highly efficient PSU is used. To actually measure CPU power, you need to measure currents and voltage for each power rails that go into CPU, which I doubt any reviewer would do it.
