Ryzen "2" ?

[Zeed]

Depends how good Clocker You got and how much extra 2 cores are worth to You in day to day basics

7 Days, reviews maybe sooner

It clocks 4.4 easy (1.25v) so yes it's a good chip. However, I'm looking to refresh my setup so it'll be Ryzen 2 or 8700k.

Guess budget got allot to do with it. If id be happy with 6 cores id get 8 pack binned 5ghz 8700k

Budget isn't an issue. Do you think 8700k @ 5GHz will have much over the new Ryzen? I'd be running 16GB Teamgroup 8pack RAM.

depends in what In games pass 100fps ye in production nope simple. For pure gaming buld id pick up Intel

Not so clear cut, esp at 5Ghz. I'd say it would prob be a draw in production work too.

Considering Intel clocks 1GHz over Ryzen, there really isn't that much difference in game benchmarks.

One of those very very few sensible posts in this entire thread. Not only in actual game benchmarks as it happens, but even in 3DMark benchmarks as well.

Thanks, now we need someone with 1080Ti and Ryzen 1 to do the same

That could be me. What do you need ?

At 5Ghz I would expect the 8700k to beat a ryzen 1 at 4.0Ghz at most things. But if they achieve 4.2Ghz+ the new chips should have a solid lead on anything that can use all 8 cores.

Agreed, it'll be much better. I'm hoping that's the case!

Read an article last night (will find link if I can) stating that at stock clocks a 2700X sat itself at 4Ghz across 8 cores constantly. <<<That is the kind of optimism I'll get behind and buy a chip off the back of.

It was referencing a BF1 benchmark so possibly one of @LOLN1 's?

 

[LOLN1]

The clocks vary according to the temp and the program used
I think with updated bios and new drivers we will see excellent results
In this youtube channel " Hardware Numb3rs "(my first processor)
has a frequency greater than 100mhz (in my config it was 100mhz less)
The reviewer has a custom liquid heatsink and an Asus motherboard

Hmm. Only one X370 board had >1GbE LAN: the ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming. That was $249 at launch, whereas now it looks like the flagship is the X470 Taichi Ultimate, which is $50 more. Hopefully more than one model has >1GbE LAN this time, I'd like to see such technology gain traction in the consumer space.

Interesting comment here from a BIOS developer for X470:

eCLK mode - overclocking IF individually without overclocking DRAM (1 processor clock and 1 clock generator of the motherboard will be used). This is not confirmed information, 19th is soon, we'll find out everything

http://www.overclock.net/forum/11-a...vi-overclocking-thread-3503.html#post27145449

So possibility that we'll be able to overclock the Infinity Fabric separate to memory speed. Be great if true!

Hayae.... good thinking AMD, i like the idea of that.

That would be very interesting indeed, although we have no idea what effect this'll have. It might be like base clocks on modern Intel platforms where you can only get a few MHz.

On early developer platform X370 boards there was an option in BIOS to switch the IF ratio between half memory rate (what all Ryzen 1's are currently locked to) and 1:1. This was then subsequently removed from BIOS before retail boards were launched. This sounds like it will be a more refined version of that option, which would be a great help to those on low speed memory, but want to get the improved performance that comes with increasing the IF speed between CCX's.
