What I want to see is FPS drops with Intel and AMD CPUs while playing a game and streaming on twitch/youtube/hitbox or whatever.. having music running, browsers open, running voice clients (discord, curse whatever) etc.. okay using OBS or streaming software x264 (CPU) but when playing a CPU intensive game and trying to stream, you will see a good FPS drop, now I know its less of an impact with 6+ core CPUs, but I want to see a comparison.

I guess asking for benching in Windows Creators Update Insider Preview 15046 *current would be too much? This is the OS that most people going to Zen in terms of Windows 10 will be using, due to the timeframe, and any Ryzen specific CPU scheduling etc changes will likely be present in this build due to the closeness to the update's release date.

Thanks HH, get well soon! Looking forward to the 1700 review which is clocked quite a bit lower.

Also, is it possible to disable cores to guesstimate 6C and 4C performance with the Ryzen architecture? Or even to boost OC potential?

Could be that latency issue related to Nvidia or Windows 10?

Need to be tested,by users,with Amd R9 or RX Gpu and Windows 7.

Thank you very much for working tirelessly and bringing more quality reviews.
Please, take some rest.

Performance difference from 1800X is minimum. 1700X totally has much better price/performance. $100 cheaper price tag just doesn't justify this performance difference at all. It's seems more like $40-50.
