Official AMD Ryzen Benchmarks, Reviews, Prices, and Discussion

[Burpo]

AMD stock price has dropped 2% since 9 am.

When reviews first comes when sales start, you know it stinks.

Game benchmarks are really really bad!

They all look bad too. A freaking 6600k at STOCK is matching their oc'd flagship.

But I kept reading that RyZen SMT was considerably better than Intel's HT?

What happened?

Core parking happened. SMT requires OS scheduler to be aware of what cores are not real.

Ryzen have HT bug in games -10-15% performance drop.

Then how did we get the earlier findings that it was better? Did they not use Windows to test?

The whole market is red.

Waiting for someone to do a proper 4K gaming review.

The gaming numbers just don't seem very good, do they?

I'd love to see what Ryzen does with a 1080 Ti.

There's definitely something wonky going on.

It probably only matters for games.

Gaming looks good, power use looks good, price looks good. Considering the R&D advantage Intel has, AMD did a fantastic job, I expect them to steal some sales.

Gamer'sNexus tested without smt, and it only made a real difference in one game.

Shoot... not sure if I should cancel my pre-orders now. This whole gaming thing being a problem is quite a bummer...

SMT0 - Off, SMT1 - On.

They used workloads that take up all the threads available. No core parking issues with these.

Waiting for someone to do a proper 4K gaming review.

They will be the same on G4560 and 1800X, because GPU bottlenecks, man.

Not enough to explain the deficit. I, as such, assume it is memory latency biting back as well.

1700 vs 7700k:

 

[guachi]

Could the SMT 'bug' be motherboard related? I hope it's something fixable as it would be great if we could get 6900 equivalent performance while having monster performance in heavily multi-threaded workloads.

 

[PPB]

Hardware.Fr is up:

On Vray Ryzen kills it and goes toe to toe with 6900K at normalized clocks. 1700 will be a steal of a chip for so much throughput.

 

[CHADBOGA]

Hopefully by the time they start testing the R1600 and below, they re-do the R1800 to see if new bioses or whatever, fixes up some of these problems.

Also, is Ryzen suffering in all games, or just some select ones?

What I am also interested in seeing is the debate between 6-8 cores vs 4 cores in gaming, using 6-8 cores from both AMD & Intel.

A few days ago, many people seemed convinced that 4 core had seen its best days and 6-8 cores were poised to take over. Is this still the view amongst these people?

It actually makes a difference in more than one game in that review.

"The 1800X at its stock clock rate shows up well behind Intel's Core i7-6900K, but to keep things in perspective, you get 87% of Broadwell-E's performance for less than half of its price with Ryzen 7 1800X. Conversely, you can opt for the $350 Core i7-7700K and enjoy more performance than AMD's 1800X in many popular titles"

 

[LTC8K6]

Looks like they took RyZen out of the oven a little too early?
