Faster than my Broadwell-E workstation at the office
This review is from: AMD RYZEN 7 1800X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 95W YD180XBCAEWOF Desktop Processor
Pros: - Amazing multithread performance
- Very good singlethread performance
- Much, much quieter than the system it replaces
- Uses very little power, especially when idle
- Does better in gaming than expected
- About 1% faster IPC than Core i7 6900K and 3% higher clock speed (stock)
- Supports all enchanced goodies (AVX2, Virtualization, etc..) that you come to expect in a high-end CPU
- The PRICE!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THE PRICE?!?

Cons: - Gaming performance is typicall about 7% to 10% behind Kabylake but this is acceptable when you consider how many cores you are getting for the price.
- The first round of motherboards don't work with high-speed memory.
- Overclocking is not impressive at all.

Other Thoughts: I have a Broadwell-E workstation at the office. It's a Core i7 6900K with 64GB of RAM and a 1TB NVMe drive. Total cost of the Intel computer was about $3000. I built this Ryzen 1800X machine for under $2,000 and its faster at stock speeds. I recreated the Blender benchmark that AMD demonstrated in December on both machines and the Ryzen computer beats it by about 3 seconds (about 7% faster). When both machines are overclocked to their max setting though, they are almost identical. The only complaint I have with this new Ryzen build is that my DDR3200 RAM will not work at anything other than stock speed of 2133 and surely this is holding back my benchmark scores. I hope the motherboard makes get this figured out soon. They really dropped the ball on this Ryzen launch. GG Asus.

Oh, and by the way-- I ran the "Rise of the Tomb Raider" benchmark that Guru3d did-- they scored 117 FPS in that benchmark at super-low resolution which was quite a bit a less than the 141 they achieved on Kabylake. Well when I recreated that benchmark on my Ryzen build I scored 138 FPS and this was on a Radeon RX 480!! So whatever they say about its lackluster gaming performance is highly overstated in my opinion. I would way rather have twice the cores by giving up a smidge of gaming performance. But I game at 4K anyway so it doesn't matter because I'm GPU limited. And on top of that, when running the gaming benchmarks the FPS is sikly smooth and does not stutter at all on the Ryzen machine like it does on my Kabylake computer!!

As for overclocking, I am only able to get 3950MHz stable on all cores overnight at 1.40 volts. @4GHz it reboots within about 15 minutes and I've tried cranking up the voltage. I've run some benchmarks at 4.1GHz all cores with 1.55 volts the but the air cooler I have is no match for it and will probably melt the socket at that speed. You need water if you plan on going to 4GHz and beyond.


Very very happy. I will be purchasing some $89 motherboards, Ryzen 5's and Radeon RX 460's for my children's computers in the coming months. Glad to see AMD is back!!
