Product Showcase - Ryzen 7 1700X
Product Showcase
Alright, it's time for some photos. We received a Ryzen 7 1700X 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 1800X processor clocks in at a base-clock of 3.4 GHz, yet can Turbo to 3.8 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 is just as powerful at just under 499 USD per flagship processor. Let me also remind you that the Ryzen 7 1700 costs only 349 USD and the 1700X 399 USD.
Yep, that really is a Noctua cooler with a black fan ;-)
