What do you make of these benchmarks? Representative, or a best case scenario for the Ryzen?

Do you expect the 2700X to be on par with or better than the 8700K in games?

Just to make things clear: I have no intention of starting a flame war. Nor do I have ANY sort of bias towards or against any manufacturer.
I am genuinely just curious, since I have an 8700K waiting for me at the post office, and I wonder if I should wait unpacking it (in case I want to switch to a Ryzen). :)

And yes, I know the review embargo ends tomorrow. It's just that I'm aching to unpack that 8700K. :p

Personally, dead excited about the release of this CPU.. I'm definitely set on buying an AMD CPU next time I do build a new system, it won't be Intel..

I'm very interested in the proper reviews. It does seem that the overclocking headroom is somewhat limited but how true that is, I'll wait and see.. But that review doesn't have constant results for all of the CPUs in some of the graphs, bit of a shame.. (by that I mean, I couldn't see 8700k in some of the results but could in others...)

It's always good to wait and see what other CPU company has to offer. :)

If this turns out to be true the 2700x is a great CPU. I'm thinking of going with something new myself. I'm looking over Ryzens with curiosity and amusement :)

If you intend replacing 2700K with 2700X. I suggest waiting the 8 Core 10nm mainstream by Intel, vulnerabilities fixed in hardware and DDR5.

I think it would be great if this review was true....
I don't believe it is...
We shall see.

Nah, that would just involve even more waiting. I want a new CPU now. :)
At some point one just has to get in the market. There's always something new being announced.

I'm going with AMD Ryzen simply on account that I don't want to support Intel's shady business practices. Instead of having to take a shower with sandpaper I'll be able to just use a shower pouf.

that 2700x looks awesome - i doubt it will dethrone the 8700k, but it looks like it will be very close.

I think personally, I'd still have the 2700x over an 8700k..... :)

Idk - it's a tough call - at full OC - six fat cores at 5Ghz w/ a very strong IMC vs 8 thinner cores at 4.3 w/ a weaker IMC?

I still think the 8700k will be the faster machine if you're not a heavily threaded user.

I'm just thinking gaming really.. Get it at 1440P and there's nothing much in it at all.. I do agree tho that 8700k might be faster but tomorrow we will all be able to see :) But at that point, I think I'd like to avoid Intels prices and thermals and then try the under dog :) For less money and having more cores, I'd just go with it and not look back :)

Helped a friend upgrade from X99/5820k to a 1700 Ryzen, says he doesn't miss Intel at all :)

I hear ya... the value feeling you get when you use the 1700 feels like you won some kind of CPU lottery.

I believe that AMD will be able to have a bigger chunk of the pie this year, I mean 8 cores for £300 and less.. A few people I know run these and even when under 100% load of the 16 threads, 140w max pull from the socket :) Seriously impressive I think :)

Even if it's just slightly slower than the 8700K it's still a massive win for consumers. For too long Intel has been screwing us year-after-year for incremental upgrades because... we're Intel.

Yeah like I said above, buying AMD will not make me feel quite as dirty when compared to Intel.

I agree on both points, I really do :) The 5960X was my last Intel gaming CPU.. I've got some Xeon's simply because work uses them and I didn't want servers at home with just one CPU lol :)

You're absolutely right:

Here is my current development workstation:

I've been beating this thing up since they came out a year ago, pretty much every day 24/7 on except for reboots on updates. I would not do the same thing to the 7820x rig, nor would i spend the extra money on it (need more ssd space). Stock cooler lol...

Maybe I would make the excuse, 'My daughter needs one....' bearing in mind she's 5 years old, I think it's a decent enough excuse :D

Have you tried overclocking it at all? (Not meaning to derail the thread!!)

DDR5 isn't coming to 10nm CPUs anytime soon, IIRC there's no DDR5 on any roadmap in the immediate future.

I believe you are correct. While the DDR5 spec may be finalized this year, having established consumer report for components this year is highly unlikely.

Yep, the spec may be done but it usually takes more time than a couple of months to get the fabs ready to produce it.

Maybe I would make the excuse, 'My daughter needs one....' bearing in mind she's 5 years old, I think it's a decent enough excuse :D

Have you tried overclocking it at all? (Not meaning to derail the thread!!)

So yes - it gets up to 3.8 but weird stuff starts to happen after about a week of being on so I settled on 3.6 at stock volts.

Still a 20% boost on all cores.

Just skip this chipset unless you are on a budget, Z490 is the top Ryzen Chipset.

I already ordered my 2700x and Crosshair VII,I'm glad I can finally go back to AMD,it felt like i was shaking the hand of the devil when i went Intel:).

I wish i could of gone Vega as well but the stores here in South Africa near me didn't have so I sold my soul even more and bought a 1080Ti.
