Until then you are a raging AMD fanboy with no actual AMD hardware.....

Finally someone says it. Thank you.

His AMD fanboyism is doing my head in.

@gavinh87 If only it was smoother, my old 4.7Ghz 2600K had better frametimes in most games.

Okay.... this just got real personal.

I've tried both the 1700 and 7700k and found no difference in "smooth" framerate, Making sure I disabled gsync. I assume most people are using gsync displays. Coffeelake will feel smoother anyway if people assume more cores = smooth framerateness

Do you even have a Ryzen?

 

[AndreiD]

Not you, not this time

AndreiD.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say

 

[Techen]

Ryzen here too, Will be selling for a coffeelake as soon as possible <3

Back on track, a bit disappointing that the new Z370 motherboards don't have wifi integrated into the chipset, supposedly that's for the next Z chipset.
All that Z370 seems to bring on top of Z270 is integrated Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 (according to leaks).

Already been covered a little further back.

Which means the 8700K + mobo could be over £160 more expensive than the Ryzen 1700 + mobo?

He enjoys the process of forum debating, and he has truly learnt that he doesn't need to spend a penny to incite others spending money

Everyone here should, really.

If you don't like talking and debating then you is in totally the wrong place.

I like mass debating with others.

1700 goes for £275 these days, a good mobo for overclocking around £80 (B350) and comes with an adequate cooler for 3.8-3.9 overclock.


8700K alone will go for £350-360. + motherboard ~150 + cooler.

 

[Martini1991]

That's not true. Is Broadwel level, so 10% stronger than Haswell and just 1.5% weaker than Skylake.

That chart makes no sense, all the Ryzen stuff should be the same

 

[Doobedoo]

@Journey I like mass debating with others too.... providing the mood is alright

Low and slow

That's still about the same cost. With the 8700K you get about the same multi-thread performance, and you get the best single-thread performance.

Indeed. If people never challenge other's opinions, we just end up with an echo chamber.

 

[greatash]

That's still about the same cost.

How is £350 about the same as £500-550??

3.8/3.9 on the stock cooler is not advisable.
I assume you have tried this?
