OcUK Ryzen 2000 series review thread

[RavenXXX2]

Stop ******** in this thread with Intel is best, AMD suck blah blah. Every time, it's pathetic.

 

[Scougar]

If I am looking at the charts correctly, it looks like Techpowerup's charts on the 'performance summary' page are listing the 2700x and 2700x the wrong way around. Appears to show the OC chip is slower by 5%.

Unless it is correct and that because he only got to 4.2 on all cores, the XFR rated it as better?

What happened to Anandtech..? Haha wow

I'm so ashamed for them.

They had a fully patched Meltdown and Spectre Intel system which they mention in the review.

 

[JAMIE_CORTEZ]

So from an older 4690k ryzen+ looks like a worthwhile jump.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I'm more inclined to believe Anandtechs numbers than anyone elses. I've always had them down as an Intel biased site tbh...

Their numbers were all updated for the recent security patches and they put good work in.

Anandtech gaming benchmarks really took me by surprise!

 

[FloydCranks]

They had a fully patched Meltdown and Spectre Intel system which they mention in the review.

Those patches would reduce gaming performance by no more than few%, maybe 2-3 not 30%. Sad that this will be last time I've visited anandtech and they used to be pretty good. Truly pathetic.

 

[opethdisciple]

So what's others tldr?

 

[Elevon]

no i get its new but look at what it is nothing much more than ryzen then look at the comment i replied to amd basically crushing intel.when the truth is intel has a faster chip in every section so no big news.

funny thing is as i have stated before numerous times i have intel and ryzen systems.so no bias.just honest.

Try looking at the Anandtech review and then look at your statement , overall with a good X470 board it looks good for the Ryzen 2700x, only downside I can see is overclock headroom.

Andtech make the 2700x look faster for gaming than the 8700k.

Lets just see what comes out in the wash. Knee jerk reactions do nothing.

That's exactly it

Also decent motherboards,

X470 Motherboards
For our reviews, AMD shipped us two motherboards: the ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi) and the MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC. These will be two of the high-end halo motherboards to focus on the new X470 chipset.

Are you reading the same reviews as I am? Because in the Anandtech review I just read, it's shows the 2700x beating the 8700k more often than not.

 

[humbug]

Huh? They have a massive difference and it outperforms Intel. No other sites has results like that. However according to the comments:



If that is true then that is massive news that Meltdown/Spectre makes that much difference.

Oh.... that is interesting.

put proper games in not in favour then see. as with most of these sites or releases just post biased benchmarks. look at the games they used . come on.

Yep.

Other reviews are failing to state this.

No!..Try doing reviews with the right boards ie x470 boards and all patches / updates installed, then you see how many did not install or use these .

Update: A number of comments have noted that some of our gaming numbers are different to other publications. To clarify, we used the latest ASUS 0508 BIOS (on X470), full Windows RS3 + updates, Spectre/Meltdown patches, and updated gaming titles. We are reviewing the data.

yeah. Our remaining i7 render stations at uni have taken a big hit with the patches. Fortunately they are being replaced with Ryzen / Threadripper systems over the summer.
