That is quite a good increase in clockspeeds even under heavy load(around 300MHZ~400MHZ).

Heavy load? that's OCCT, a CPU torture test

As i understand it, He, whatever his name is at Gamers Nexus didn't get a Threadripper review sample, not that many did and he was not one of them, so he spat his dummy out at AMD, he's been trying to rebuild the relationship with AMD ever since, seems he hasen't managed it yet.

He felt that allowing some reviewers to have preferential treatment on unboxing videos before release date was immoral, so as a protect he just realeased the results early. Apparently AMD changed their policy based on it, but obviously it didn't put GN on the good books of AMD, so he didn't get a sample this time around. Doesn't seem to matter though, as he's had the CPU's longer than most reviewers will hopefully have more time to give good reviews.

They don't have an iGPU, you'll need a discrete GPU for 2600, 2600x, 2700, and 2700x.

Well Steve is ONLY reviewer that I trust nowadays. Proper in deep tests proper overclocking and no ********. If something is **** he will say its **** no sugar coating

After all he purchased Titan V sgutted it moded and did proper overclocking test
How many so called Reviewers would do this ??

He has a good patreon backing so he can afford to not shill for companies, best out there.

I watched the Nexus recent video about the new Ryzen chips. He said he won't divulge new Ryzen cpu data, even though he technically could, to not be a dick in front of AMD and other reviewers. He went to great pains to say this over and over again so that AMD will give him toys next time around

After the Threadripper fiasco and his reaction to it i don't, when he eventually did do a Threadripper review he actually laughed and snarled at the fact that it had 16 cores, snarling and laughing it was utterly useless because of nVidia CUDA, that to me shows his true maturity and how clueless he is, as JayZ2Cents pointed out the more CPU cores you have the faster CUDA works.
I think he thinks he knows better than anyone and with that he feels entitled, a bit like a bratty child, and then behaves like one when he doesn't get his own way.
That's why AMD have washed their hands of him, he's a brat.

I can't watch him. He makes me want to pressure wash him and drag him to a barber.

Just like Linus he abuses the products he is reviewing in the way he handles/throws them around as well.

I can't watch him either. That voice.

To better compliment the overclocking features of the 2 series it is recommended to use an X470 board.

Watch from 3:50mins as well as 4:40mins.

Only one of the big reviewers I take any notice of now. Goes to lengths no one else gets near.

Will the performance between the 2700 (65w TDP) & 2700x (105w TDP) be massive?

I am currently using an M-ITX build with a 4770k (84w TDP) in a Dan Case A4. The temps get rather toasty at times with a Noctua NH-L9i.

So the reason I am thinking about getting a 2700 is the lower TDP which is only 65 watts and should help bring down temps even more.

ViRuS2k · 14 Apr 2018 at 18:52

hmmm 8700k or ryzen 2700x

computer is freaking out so i need to get something now rather than wait lol of even if i waited god knows when intel will bring something out thats faster.... hmm choices ....

Intel aren't releasing anything faster than 8700k this year and Ryzen 2 is coming out in less than 5 days.

Just get something in a week, or you'll be waiting forever for the next best thing. Appreciate what is out now.
