I think I will turn my router off for a day or two. A bit of solitaire maybe?
Get into Stellaris, trust me its a good way to make a couple of days disappear.

Here's a review.
My quick glance:
Positive
Maybe no point to overclock
Better memory compatibility although towards end of article goes on to say still a little lottery when it comes to IMC

Interesting results on that one, and that he would call them positive given the performance is basically the same as the 1800X, there is some difference but they basically mirror eachother with no more than 5% between them at any given time, at best.
I would categorise that as a pointless renaming of a product.
There are always one or two odd ball reviewers, especially when it comes to them reviewing AMD, lets hope this is one of them.
That leaves me feeling kind of 'meh' about it. Obviously we need more reviews to see how they balance out but having already decided on an 8700k vs 1800x I can't see the 2700x changing my mind if the performance bump is that small, especially given the prices.

I have pretty much decided to wait for Zen 2 now. Ryzen is amazing, but wasn't quite enough for me to make the jump. The 5-10% extra still isn't enough. I'm hoping Zen 2 will bring larger improvements.

We need to wait for proper reviews
Ryzen really is amazing. But the problem on this forum is that I would say the majority of us, if not vast majority are gamers first - other things second.
The thing is. FPS is noticeable, every single FPS counts. But If I have to wait 2hr20min to render a video vs 2hr10min. Meh, so what. I've left the PC to go do something else anyway.

I think we should wait for proper reviews, one would have thought there would be a least some difference if not from anything other than the higher clock speed but according to that no, not even that. its like they are both the same CPU with margins of error between runs.

WTF, it's a 12nm refresh what are you expecting? Zen 2 will be the big daddy. Either way AMD are back in the CPU business big time and I'm grateful they are, this £80 2200G I'm rocking is an amazing CPU for cash and I will be staying with AMD for the foreseeable future, hell I don't even have to buy a new mobo to upgrade unlike Intel.
In that testing, both were run at 4ghz 3200

Well whats the point in doing that? overclock one and underclock the other? ^^^^
Some difference between them? otherwise whats the point?

Obviously there is. It's not as if Intel have not been pulling the same **** on and off for that past eight years.

Never mind, its not a review, its just click bait bull crap.
Still with that crap right upto the very last minute
