Review: AMD Ryzen  5 2600X and 7 2700X processor

It has been a long wait, but our first Zen+ reviews are ready and waiting, we take the new procs for a test ride. These puppies are running at up to 4.35 GHz and with up to eight cores and sixteen threads, that's not a bad thing at 229 and 329 USD.

A sigh of relief *sigh* Edit: not so much relief...it appears in other reviews, that the 1% lows in many games is still an issue for AMD. There has been an improvement in frame minimums but, is still 10-12% less then intel. I think we can all agree that in gaming the minimums can distract from the immersion. Then the OC is not worth the voltage from what I've seen. Seems my 4790k is sticking with me a bit longer...

I'm so pleased that AMD has made substantial improvements. I am a bit disappointed in the OC but, Performance is on par for 1080p and higher resolution (FPS) that the OC really isn't needed. Still a bit of work needed with latency...unlikely noticeable in real world use. Seems like I have a choice again?! My 4790k is starting to show its ribs.

Great review as always
Could someone explain me the results at
"Google Chrome - Mozilla Kraken Browser"?


Yeah, I can ... I have been puzzled about what is happening there. But I think that is the result of the Windows Spectre/meltdown patches. I am going to restart that bench suite from scrap.

It's definitely on the to-do list, however, I have got to get myself through many X470 reviews first though.

Just little question, did you receive ASRock X470 Taichi? Kind of is not available on stores.
