The CPU market has sort of been an Intel monopoly for the past few years, but with the Ryzen series of processors, the competition surely seems to be revived. The Ryzen CPUs are based on the new AMD Zen architecture and the AM4 socket, the direct successor to AMD’s Piledriver based FX processors with the AM3 & AM3+ sockets released over five years ago. It’s been a long time coming. The Ryzen 7 series is Ryzen’s high-end line of processors, with eight cores and 16 threads, making them the AMD counterparts to Intel’s i7 range. We’re reviewing the Ryzen 7 1800X, the top end of the Ryzen 7 series. Check out the tech specs below: Tech Specs CPU 1800X Cores 8 Threads 16 Socket AM4 Base Clock 3.6 GHz Boost Clock 4.0 GHz TDP 95W The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X has a base cl...
AMD has announced that the Ryzen range of processors will be globally launched on 2nd March. The series will be launched with three Ryzen 7 CPUs, which are supposed to be the premium end of Ryzen chips. These compete directly with Intel’s i7 range of processors, and if the early benchmarks are any clue, seriously outperform them, especially in terms of price. Not talking too much, I’ll jump to the specs and the prices (suggested retail prices, SRP) of the Ryzen 7 CPUs, as I’m sure gamers and PC enthusiasts have been dying to find out: Ryzen 7 1800X : INR 37,999/- 95-watts 8 cores and 16 threads Base clock speed: 3.6GHz / Boost: 4GHz When matched up against the eight-core Intel Core i7-6900K ( worth $1,089), the 1800X recorded an identical single-thread score of 162 on Cin...
The latest AMD CPUs have had the fans on edge for quite some time, and it seems like the mystery can finally be put to rest. The new chip has been sighted on a few online retailer portals, like Hardwareschotte, with complete spec sheet and feature set. According to the information, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 is an octa-core, 16-thread chip with a clock speed of 3.7 GHz and a $320 price tag. This puts it right in league with Intel’s Broadwell E i7 6900k. That’s right, AMD is launching a $320 CPU that is capable of competing with Intel’s $1099 chip. Not to mention that the Ryzen 7 1700 is rated at 65W, which is less than half of the i7’s 140W. The time for dropping jaws would be right about now. What Ryzen 7 1700 is offering might as well be the most worthy in the Ryzen lin...
