AMD Reveals Ryzen 7 Family, Pricing, and Radeon Vega Logo

[YautjaLord]

I doubt many are going to be buying the really expensive NVMe drives.

I'm the one of not many that will, along with (still expensive) SATA III SSD. One for gaming & Blender'ing & other for something undisclosed, for game mods(?) or anything of that type. Both from Samsung.

Why, are they using camels to deliver them?

lol, really? How about that one: PC store has to order these, y'know? lol

I'm really glad they got rid of the R7, R5 and R3 naming scheme and clearly separated from the GPUs. I'm also surprised that the 3 and 5 series CPUs won't be included at launch - that is probably what the majority of buyers will buy - but maybe the delay will bring higher clocks? One can only hope ...

What's the real difference between Ryzen 7-1800X and R7-1800X?

Pretty order is up at overclocked .Com in the UK 489 quid for 1800x 389 for 1700x and an Asus crosshair hero will cost 249 quids nice.

My phone thinks pre means pretty, strange.

 

[Bansaku]

It's a shame modern video games are shite and there's no point in upgrading your CPU/GPU any more.

Agreed! I haven't upgraded since 2012 and see no need (yet).

 

[Fluffmeister]

As pointed out, time will tell on the XFR feature panning out. But if I was to throw my money out today, I think the 1700 (non x) looks to be the bang for the buck monster. Already building my new setup on paper - looking forward to the build!

My thinking too, looking forward to see whether XFR is a help or a hindrance, as it stands the 1700 non-x is what I'm zeroing on pre-reviews.

Don't know if Scan.co.uk prices are typical, but £319.99 looks good to me! https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/cpu-amd/amd-ryzen-7-socket-am4-processors

Either way, glad I sat on this i7 920 for 7+ years as it's served me brilliantly, but equally when I upgrade I want something that is going last a good few years again, and a 8c/16t CPU is very appealing naturally. Exciting times.

Ok AMD time to do a commercial... I'd get Neil Degrasse Tyson and have him walking intently ponder looking in to the cosmos. Where he bumps into (that we only see the backside) of Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) lookalike. The Seldon character just is standing almost bewildered looking out the other way almost lost.

Neil says, "next time probably best to choose the processor that has the performance to calculate a real physicists' dreams or astrophysicists' reality faster, all while a green footprint here on earth. Real science to those who know... choose Ryzen from AMD"

 

[pedromvu]

This shows single core performance to be still a bit lower for Ryzen (4Ghz or 4.1? from X1800 equal to 3.7Ghz of Intel 6900K)

Which is probably the reason they didn't show this benchmark for the other models.

I think Intel is still king for gaming with 7700K going up to 4.5Ghz at $350 range, AMD needs a 4c 8t which can go close to 5Ghz single threaded and at a similar price if they want to compete in that segment.

But I still have to admint the Ryzen 1700 is probably still good enough if it can go up to 3.7Ghz for that price, if you don't need the absolute best for gaming, actual benchmarks can't come soon enough

The 7, 5 and 3 is there only because it's similar to Intels naming. But if you prepend it with R you get naming similar to the lower tier GPUs, SSDs, RAM, etc. You might not care, but there are people out there that do. And suggesting to them that the 7 series is not top tier (9 series) is bad marketing.

Yeah, 8 cores for an IPC (allegedly) similar to Broadwell-E for half the price. Easy one really.

So it's official; affordable, well-performing octa cores are a thing. Time to prep for a new installation, I guess.

I have to admit, though, the 1700 makes the other two irrelevant. XFR might be interesting in theory, but for a 20/50% price premium? Not much., especially when considering all those chips are OC'able, making the clock differences also irrelevant to many. The whole thing doesn't make sense! But I guess that's just the cynicism one acquires after a decade-long monopoly.

Except if I remember correctly isn't there a TDP difference between the 1700X and the 1700? Wouldn't that mean that the 1700 is going to hit an upper limit even with manual OC that wont hinder the 1700X?

why the hell is the crosshair hero more than the maximus hero?

I agree. I would like to see comparisons to the 7700K as well. All the of the AMD benchmarks compare it to Broadwell based CPUs, so on top of the frequency difference there's also a 5-10% clock-for-clock performance deficit compared to Kaby Lake based cores. It's stll a monumental improvement compared to Bulldozer based CPUs but it won't be the single threaded performance king by a small margin (probably not enough to matter for most people).

I think benchmarks in known AAA games will decide and it will be a mixed bunch with RyZen X chips doing better in some and not in others but the fact I can pre order one doesn't change the fact we don't know how they game so I'd hold off saying Intel rules until we actually know something , and for what it's worth I think your wrong ,I expect a 1600X to trounce said i7 kaby but I'd hold off saying it's anything but an opinion for now.

Time will tell - but bring the voltage back up to 1700X levels or more and sprinkle on the overclock... should be the budget beast. I have not been this excited about a PC build since Athlon XP days

I am an AMD fan. And yes, I also have intel processors. But overall I have been running AMD since way before they broke 1ghz. I really do not care if they beat intel. I care about the performance per dollar and that they put their heart and soul into rocking this new processor. With that - they have my cash.

Just view the video...

 

[HD64G]

Battlefield 1 demo shows R7 faster than 6900K me thinks...

 

[proxuser]

Everybody start again talking what intel will do as next. Who cares ? Tbh really who f. cares what intel will do ?
We have a very good product here and good pricing for what is offering. Just let people happy little bit and let them alone to make their choice whatever they want to buy.

I just hate this kind people "Intel will" "What will Intel do?" As were they shareholder from Intel. Just stop being an idiot please.

 

[alucasa]

So many butthurt people here from both camps.

 

[the54thvoid]

So many butthurt people here from both camps.

That's because recent Intel prices have caused bottom hurting prices and recent AMD CPU performance has hurt bottom pride. Two butt hurts can come together and rejoice that finally, surely, AMD has a competitive CPU architecture.

Surely.

C'mon.

It has to be true.

 

[alucasa]

Dat be true.

You the man.

Anybody can post a graph and make any product look good, that's why you need a link if you post a scores.

Well I just got pricing for Australia in an Email today...R7 1700 $469, R7 1700X $569, R7 1800X $699.

Basically where I thought prices would be but even a little cheaper then I predicted.
