What is the point in the 2600X over the 1600X? other than a bit more single core boost I cant see anything and is it me or are they much more expensive this time around? Sure I paid a lot less for my 1600X on release

1600X was £250 on launch. Had a price cut later on to drop it under £200.

I see from the listings that memory is supported "up to 3600Mhz". Are those officially supported speeds?

Edit: I see from information now coming out 2933 is the officially supported speed, which is still an improvement.

Yes. That's official, I think unofficially AMD were saying 4000+ should be fine with good sticks.

Edit: yep, seems I'm wrong. 2933, 3600 to 4000 were "easy" apparently.

Just me and my memory not serving me right then

@Gibbo getting the 400 series boards listed too?

SupraWez · 13 Apr 2018 at 14:44

I see the ASUS boards are already listed under the AM4 section

I would rather save the extra £10/£15 instead and i doubt people asked for them but then what do i know

Thats a really good point.

in my testing 3600 has been very hard to hit, pretty much just as hard as it was on the 1700x

3400 seems fairly easy though using teamgroup xtreem 3866 memory that I've had up at 4100 MHz on intel and managed 3733 for a screen shot on ryzen

I wonder what memory the reviewers will go with. Standard officially supported speed I guess with a wait for higher speed results.

X470-i is there, I wasn't expecting ITX straight off the bat!

hi

Is that on an X370 or X470?

I think the all core boost has increased as well as memory latency. Only reason I haven't bought a 1600X at £150 yet is that I'm waiting on those reviews to see just how much of a real improvement we're going to get from these new chips.

Glanza · 13 Apr 2018 at 15:00

That pricing isn't too bad, waiting for reviews before jumping in.

nashathedog · 13 Apr 2018 at 15:02

I'm looking forward to seeing the 2700x reviews,

I wonder if they'll release a 2800x in a month or so?

I suppose it's possible that as the process mature they may start building up a supply of 4.5 capable chips for the 1800x replacements.

this is on the CH7 but the results were the same on CH6

I managed 4.3 on all cores at a similar voltage to what others leaked on the CH6, ryzen master might finally be working so i can have a proper play
So far i've tested the X470 ch6 and ch7 and the aurus gaming ultra unsurprisingly the ultra managed 4.225 across all 8 cores which given how much cheaper than teh cH7 it is is not bad.

3200 32gb (8x 4) cas 14 @ 1.35v was fine on all boards with the 2700x

JediFragger · 13 Apr 2018 at 15:02

I wouldn't trade but I do like the look of that 2700X with the kickass RGB cooler :cool:

Ok, that looks about like what we were expecting, thanks

I think the 2800/X will be held in reserve to "counter" whatever moves Intel makes.

Who knows, maybe won't appear and they save them for threadrippers to make a bigger difference.
