Hilbert nice review! The SMT finding is interesting. I'm shore the game performance will improve in time, important is that RAW performance IS THERE !!!
After you get well soon check the following:
As we finish up out second Ryzen 7 review we can already conclude that the 1700X definitely offers a lot more value for you money. The performance metric is not far away from the 1800X at all, aside from a 200 MHz differential. At 399 USD this processor is going

Wow, exhaustive review #2
Pretty cool!
While being almost just as strong as 1800X and costing $100 less I wonder where 1700 will position next...

Little spelling error here -
"Agaim I cannot stress enough.." Page 24.
Very nice overclock performance. I can definitely see people opting for this chip and overclocking to save a bit of coin.

That is the one proc I do not have just yet. Grabs phone, calls AMD.

That is a shame, if it can clock upwards of 4.0 then it becomes the best of the three value wise (if you dont mind a little tweaking)

Probably ~4ghz as well with appropriate cooling and chip quality. I doubt anything significant will change unless major patches/drivers and/or BIOS revisions will be released.

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.
Ask also for AMD cake <3
