Review roundup: Has it rysen to the occasion?
AMD has officially lifted the NDA veil from its new Zen-based Ryzen CPUs and the first reviews have started to trickle in, giving us a clearer picture regarding real world performance.
It appears that AMD has rather poorly chosen the review launch date, due to it being close to MWC 2017 show in Barcelona and GDC 2017, or it had some problems with logistics, since some of the usual sites only had a chance to check out the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X and not the rest of the lineup, did not have time to look at overclocking, or did not have time to check out the review motherboard in details. Some reviews are also limited to just a few games.
Despite these problems, there are still plenty of reviews around to get at least some idea on whether it managed to ryzen to the occasion and justify the earlier hype.
As you probably already know by now, AMD is only launching three octa-core Ryzen 7 SKUs today, all with enabled Simultaneous MultiThreading, including the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X, Ryzen 7 1700X and the Ryzen 7 1700 SKU. The flagship Ryzen R7 1800X is what you will see in most reviews, and this one is clocked at 3.6GHz base and 4.0GHz Turbo clocks and has a US $499 price tag.
