Thney must have been wanting to do a clock for clock comparison in that vid, as the real 2700 will turbo far higher.

Not sure if I want good reviews or not... If it's negligible, then I may just buy a new motherboard and keep this 1600X for another year, which will be much cheaper. On the other hand, 2 more cores is tempting

Quick glance, this looks really very promising... that's just 5% to the 8700K

Wow. Anandtech's review has Intel completely obliterated by Ryzen 2 all over the board in their gaming tests.

Isn't the 8700k at stock though? Haven't read review yet

People still game at 720P?

Annandtech has the 2700 dealing heavy damage to the 8700 in gaming, quite extraordinary.
the 7820 is also in danger of a kicking.

Taken the GPU out of the equation to see CPU performance.

Looks like they are killing it. That family and price comparison at the start of Anandtechs review between the two generations should be applauded. A faster simpler processor family for less than the older generation? Brilliant.

Looks like a success going by reviews GJ AMD.

The whole point of benchmarking at 720P is to insure the CPU not the GPU is doing all of the work. at 1440P there is nothing in it between them, as it would be.

Trucamo · 19 Apr 2018 at 14:19

Does anyone know when the asrock x470 mobos will be stocked?

fewfe3 · 19 Apr 2018 at 14:21

Had a feeling that there wouldn't be much of an improvement. Otherwise they wouldn't have waited to release the reviews.

Makes it kinda irrelevant though. But we all know we're GPU bottlenecked at the moment anyway. Anyone paying more money for little FPS gain is a mug IMO, concentrate on the "smoothness" and frame times etc and you'll get more for your money.

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 :cool:

SiDeards73 · 19 Apr 2018 at 14:30

To be honest, as a 1700 owner i was tempted to go to the 2700X and just leave it at stock, you get wicked single threaded perf for gaming and where games want more cores you have the reserve in the tank! im still buying an Xbox One X though and waiting out til 7nm Vega, to be fair the Refresh looks immense, and only makes me think 7nm Vega will have intel running scared now.

As a current Ryzen 1700 owner im less inclined to ugprade right now though.
