Official OcUK Ryzen 3 review thread

Zen at 4ghz was around 160-165, but that was before memory tweaking and bios updates. I agree needs a thread to compare now.
My 4770k r15 st =160 at 4ghz, But Haswell clock for clock is nigh on the same.

Bu r15 shouldn't just be the only decider.
 
Off the top of my head IPC parity with Haswell is where I would put zen.

Probably with that is we're now into the realm of 5ghz kabys lol while Ryzen is like 4ghz.

But this is where the core for core comprise is worth while. As the 1700 truly wrecks my 4770k in overall performance.

But but... Cinebench is Intel's favourite benchmarking app :D

Jokes aside.. agreed, IPC between different architectures is subjective.

Yet I would also say with reasonably fast RAM there isn't any area where Ryzen is lacking IPC, i think AMD have than one sewn up, at last.

Amd have done really well with Zen. Once Raven comes out this will secure mobile and budget desktop.
Threadripper is perfect, they just need to address more Itx boards for Am4, and to ensure Hdmi2.1 and displayport are adopted on all am4 and relevant boards.

Currently eyeing up the r5 1600 with the gigabyte itx board.
 
OC3D made retest of the Ryzen CPUs, according to those tests, as he said, all the updates were like extra 100MHz, more less. I think 1800X on his chart is the best for comparison as during initial testing he was able to achieve 4ghz with 2666 mems, after updates 4ghz with 3459. Other CPUs had different OC, not that much difference on memory etc so difficult to compare.

Going back to R3 it's interesting that many reviewers have problems even with 2666 memory, mem controller must be not that great on them.
 
Yeah others have also said they are struggling to get the ram on the Ryzen 3 SKU's stable above 2666Mhz, some managed 2933Mhz but that's still short of the magic 3200Mhz.

Still for £100 it beats the crap out of the i3's. its a great budget chip.

Maybe needs a bios update?
 
I think for anyone getting these who can't get the memory above 2400 or 2666Mhz tighten your timings, running tight Memory timings on Ryzen is just as effective for performance as running higher memory speed.

Of course, and this can't be stressed enough, anyone with a Ryzen chip should be playing with their memory because if you can do both speed and timings these things absolutely fly....

LL stands for Low Latency (IE tight timings)

I think its more exciting someone with a cheapo PC based on an A8 9600,can potentially upgrade it to something like a Ryzen 7 1700 down the line.

This is the major effect of Ryzen being much more efficient than the FX series.
 
Having APU's and CPU's on the same AM4 platform was certainly a good call, If AMD can keep their promises of having the same socket for 4 generations of Zen Chips it would also be good.

Lots of upgrading potential without having to change Motherboard's.

Ignore that ASRock and look at this one:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M/

Its around the same price at many retailers and has a 9 phase VRM with cooling.

Edit!!

OcUK have it for a few more quid it seems:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asro...am4-ddr4-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-155-ak.html

Whether the move is worth it not,it might be worth looking at some reviews in the OP,which might have comparisons with the FX8350.

Yes, "6" phases, or not:

LOL,but he said it would be fine with a 4 or 6 core Ryzen with upto 1.4V(or even stock Ryzen 7 which I assume is the 1700) and at around 3.8GHZ,but it make me wonder what would be better an unheatsinked 4 phase VRM or this one. He ended with saying he was uncertain whether the 4 phase ones would be any better.

Shame review sites don't actually bother testing the cheaper motherboards.
