Product Showcase - Ryzen 7

Product Showcase

Alright, it's time for some photos. We received a Ryzen 7 1700 processor. As you can see, these are retail samples and thus not vanilla picked ones, retail versions. Once you have one in your hand you realize these are a little heavy. They should be with eight properly functioning and fast cores.
  

The Ryzen 7 1700 processor clocks in at a base-clock of 3.0 GHz, yet can Turbo to 3.7 GHz depending on load levels versus active threads; this eight core processor will be threaded to sixteen threads. Given it's an 8-core architecture, AMD is really nicely managing that clock frequency. 
  

 
It's a powerful puppy, I'll give you that. The final sales price for the 1800X is 499 USD per flagship processor. Let me also remind you that the Ryzen 7 1700 costs only 329 USD and the 1700X 399 USD.
  

Yep, that really is a Noctua cooler with a black fan ;-)
