Ryzen "2" ?

Those few X470 mobo's in stock ain't gonna last more than a few minutes!!!

Maybe @Scott C can give an update of when more stock of X470 boards are due? They're gonna fly out.

Well stock performance of the 2700X looks fantastic, and seems to be all but matching a stock 8700K in gaming. Intel's only advantage now is it's ability to overclock to the 5GHz range. Once AMD's 7nm Zen2 rolls around it's going to get spicy

Also it appears that it's not even worth OC'ing the Ryzen 2's, just drop in and enjoy!

2700X + 3600 mems looks like a winner to me!! Hell, I don't think I'd even bother to OC the system and just have the peace of mind of ultimate stability

That's looking very promising for an ITX build.

Gaming beyond 1080 indicates that the GPU makes all CPUs basically equal. Sure a few FPS here and there but when >60 FPS then what is the point.

Yes the performance is very good not mention the value for money it brings but I take issue with 'not even worth OC'ing the Ryzen 2's'. The forum you want is https://forums.stockclockers.co.uk

Jeez stock gaming performance has improved a lot, 8700k is in for a scrap now.

This is a very decent refresh.

That look worth the effort?

i5 8400 just got even better value gaming chip wise.

seems to me for Pure gaming from Ryzen 2nd gen its 2600/X over 2700/X like last time around - though didn't think this would change . but jump from 3.8ghz average overclock to 4.2ghz is nice with average ram speed of 3000 jumping to 3466hz .

seems from 2400hz to 3466hz is the based scaled up , not much more in going 3600hz and 3200 still nice as ever with its pricing

waiting for OEM 8500 chips to roll out !

If the future of gaming means more threads then Ryzen makes more sense for the money.

I'm very interred by GamersNexus review comparing the voltages needed to keep clocks .

I'm loving this, good job AMD.

Vakas · 19 Apr 2018 at 15:44

how come we don't have a 2800x this time round? or will it be coming later on

dancook · 19 Apr 2018 at 15:46

So will there be a 2950x on a Z490 chipset later this year?

I'm only just catching up on AMD cpus..

Curlyriff · 19 Apr 2018 at 15:46

All looks pretty good to me since I game at 4k then I will always be GPU bound and thus will not have to worry about the extra FPS that the 8700k does get.

Makes waiting for Ryzen 3 (Zen2) to be worth it for next year tbh.

you have numerous benchmarks showing a 150 pound gaming chip from intel beating the top end new ryzen in almost every game. of course it makes sense

Joeyuk · 19 Apr 2018 at 15:47

Anyone seen a review where they use a X370 board. Wondering if it’s worth moving from a 3.7 1600 to a 2700x on a ch6.

Where's the missing 8700k oc?

[Death] · 19 Apr 2018 at 15:56

Yup they never show the oc on 8700
