So a blast from the past, who remembers these:
AMD had something like ten world wide, I got one and I still have it on my desk some ten years later.
Was there last truly great processor!
Every e-tailer I've seen has exactly the same prices so I wouldn't expect them to budge.
Min is a worry. It was the noticeable minimums on GTAV which made me replace my 8320.So this is taken from DinoPC. 1700 vs 7700k (stock and Overclocked).
They tested GTAV.
Average is pretty similar across the board. They didn't get a chance to overclock the 1700 though.
Too be honest it made me consider the i7 7700k over this processor....
Mins are bad, hopefully that is just an anomoly in that specific game, cause no amount of overclocking is going to catch that up.
Kinda what I'd expect - almost no difference in average frame rates when GPU limited but the higher clocked i7-7700K would get better minimums and maximums. The only oddity for me is that I thought GTA V in particular loved extra cores, yet it doesn't seem as if the R7 1700's extra cores are helping much here.So this is taken from DinoPC. 1700 vs 7700k (stock and Overclocked).

It's 2ghz down compared to the 7700k
AMD have had to keep things very hush on Zen, Intel are a giant and can make a come back, but a giant needs time and AMD have done such a good job at keeping this under wraps that any retaliation from Intel will take time and like AMD say, its just the start, I sure for one welcome the good old days back where AMD were around 50% processor market share and more in the gaming arena.
