Re: Amd Ryzen 2000 chips
I don't follow new tech blindly so no, not excited.
As long as my desktop does what I need it to do...
What are you doing that needs the upgrade to the 2700x cpu?
Very little I would guess.
I can't see you ever having pushed your piledriver to it's full extent. I doubt you'd even know how to.

Re: Amd Ryzen 2000 chips
Pip i like gaming, video encoding and picture editing so the 2700+ will be a great upgrade from my current PC.

I do 2/3rds of what you do with a phenom II. I'm not a gamer.

Re: Amd Ryzen 2000 chips
Games these days have a major affect on hardware. I have a 1080ti which is being bottle necked by the cpu and hopefully the Ryzen will solve the issue.

I'm still with the Phenom II x6 1090T, it's been a great chip since new. The only thing I've upgraded since buying it about 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more? Is the video card (1050ti) and the OS (Win 10 Pro).
It handles all the games I play with ease.

Re: Amd Ryzen 2000 chips
I am looking to build a new machine in the next couple of months and the new Ryzens look good to me. I mainly do video encoding and streaming through Plex so the multicore performance looks ideal.
Some of the reports I have read suggest that a lot of gaming will not be significantly improved due to the single core speeds being lower than Intel but that's fine with me

Re: AMD Ryzen 2000 chips
The single core performance is not that much lower than Intels and if u look at the money you are saving compared to buying the intel chip its way worth it.
The new tower for gaming im looking at building will cost me around £1700 but its gonna last me atleast 5 years.

Re: AMD Ryzen 2000 chips
The Intel landscape is also improving, with some cheaper chipsets for the non-K models that don't need the full features of the Z series

Re: AMD Ryzen 2000 chips
They are still quite a bit more expensive than AMD tho.
