AMD President and CEO, Dr. Lisu Su, took to the stage at AMD’s Ryzen Tech Day and opened the event with some official speeds, feeds, pricing information, and benchmark scores from the company’s upcoming Ryzen series processors. To date, we’ve seen a…
As you’ll see in the video we have posted here, the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is approximately 9% faster than the Core i7-6900K running Cinebench R15’s multi-threaded test, at about half the cost. And in another direct comparison, Dr. Su puts the 8-core Ryzen 7 1700 up against the quad-core Core i7-7700K, converting a 4K 60 FPS video down to 1080P and the Ryzen CPU outpaces the Core i7 but about 10 full seconds. Though the Ryzen 7 1700 is at a significant clock speed disadvantage versus the 7700K, its four additional cores are more than enough to make up for the deficit in a multi-threaded workload like the Handbreak test.
