Official OcUK Ryzen 3 review thread

Also,regarding the Core i3 7350K - does it come with a cooler?? Because by the time you add the extra cost of a cooler and Z series motherboard,you could probably get close to a Ryzen 5 1400 and a B350 motherboard.

Oops sorry - I meant to say Bristol Ridge.

Can't see what you're referring to

They are appearing at other retailers.

These are Excavator based by with a GCN1.2 based IGP and DDR4.

Edit!!

Here is the A12 9800 for example running Overwatch:

The reviewer used RAM running at around 2600MHZ,so not very expensive stuff.

Nope no cooler included with 7350K...

Those apus look quality for the price. Probably more interesting than the R3.

I thought so, as a mate did a build with a Ryzen 5 1400 and one of the cheaper B350 motherboards,and IIRC the CPU and motherboard came to around £215 to £220.

So if the Core i3 7350K is £100,a cheapo Z270 is around £100,and you get a £20 cooler it ends up at around the same price.

Sure I expect the Z270 motherboard to be better,but Intel really needs to release a much cheaper range of overclocking motherboards.

From my experience with Ryzen 3, they have slightly stronger single thread performance due to having no SMT, which is great for gamers and mainstream users. The B350 platform is really nice too (unless you want SLI).

Fantastic chips.

Calling BS in them benchmarks when 3850 beats out the 7700k.

FX-8350? what? where, i looked but can't see that?

There's one GPU limited benchmark where the FX83's ahead, but it's margin of error. No problem with the result, run it again and it'd probably change, but that's what happens when you're only running an RX480 in something like Tomb Raider.

Margin of error, no need for concern.

Yes, ok i see it tho i would not call that beating the 7700K, i would call that a match, believable if its DX12 or GPU bound.

Then again, FX83 can't match an i7 7700K when all going full pelt, and by the other results there is more room to go for that GPU. That said, the 7700K and FX83 are within margin of error.

I kind of understand where Raven's coming from.

RavenXXX2 · 27 Jul 2017 at 18:00

lol I thought it was rise of the tomb raider which is much more CPU intensive. Probably GPU bound then.

Right, any other circumstance i would think the 7700K would jump up and down on the FX-8350, and it looks like it does in most other game tests.

One other thing, the review is done on an RX 480, so its likely to be GPU bound and AMD do tend to be more efficient with lower performance CPU's than nVidia in DX12.

Martini1991 · 27 Jul 2017 at 18:01

It depends on testing methodology really.

If they're not 100% identical runs than the results are obviously different.
But one of those things.

Don't understand the relevance

It is ROTT, so yeah BS results on CPU intensivemountain pass.
