Choze Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) https://www.anandtech.com/show/14605/the-and-ryzen-3700x-3900x-review-raising-the-bar Rare to see this kind of domination over a competitor. So enjoy the amusement... Some key points: Half the energy consumption of top Intel at same core count! Almost half the price. 3rd gen Ryzen / Zen 2 win in many single threaded benchmarks now too. Builds on domination in everything else. Gaming is 'slightly' behind the very top Intel K chips at lower resolutions but within a tiny margin of each other now. 1% lows are the same now! All AMD CPU are unlocked for overclocking and come with good free coolers (by Cooler Master) and are cooler to run vs Intel. X570 motherboards bring alot to the table. 128gb RAM, new PCI Express 4.0, faster SSD speeds, lots of new features, big headroom for more cores and overclocks in the future etc. Will please enthusiasts. Interestingly the new early Navi GPU's also quite good (better price/perf over Nvidia). Looking good for the next gen consoles... Edited July 7, 2019 by Choze
Sméagol Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 They've been doing good work lately.. Finally they're real competition again for Intel. Now Intel's forced to get off their asses and start to innovate again. Now if they could do the same for their video cards..
Choze Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Quote Now if they could do the same for their video cards. The two new Navi based Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT are the very best in their categories. Check videos and reviews. But no partner cards yet. As with Ryzen, they need to launch more models at the same time. This couple of Ryzen and Navi only cover certain sections of the overall market. Also launchiung 7/7 was silly. It seems there was so much stress to hit this launch date for everyone. Edited July 9, 2019 by Choze
Dufniall Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I think they're focussing on certain models first because otherwise they may run the risk with production capacity. So they first launch where they know they win from Intel, and can do some volume. But these benchmarks are impressive! It's a shame not many OEM brands launch AMD PC or laptop models, so the processors are still mostly for people who build their own system, which is a relatively small market. For the GFX cards, still a bit to steep for me to upgrade my GTX970.
Choze Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Seems like these got popular fast. Kind of an overall brand boost too. The first gen Ryzen are still excellent at their price points. Yeah the UK GPU prices are insane. Wont upgrade till after the PS5 now. Edited September 12, 2019 by Choze
