When the print media precedes the digital

CPC Hardware has already checked out the Ryzen 2000 series, even though the CPUs won’t officially arrive in weeks.

As expected, the Ryzens increased their pace, but their energy needs also increased in parallel. The engineers fine-tuned access to the memories and caches, turned on the clocks, and then asked for their coffee that day - pretty much that’s what the test read. The sheet achieved the following results with the following programs: H.264 encoder, Mathematica, PovRay, Blender, 3DSMax and Corona. As you can see, the Ryzen 7 2700X feels good in these applications, confidently outpacing the Core i7 8700K, even though it will move at a similar level based on price.

The breakthrough in games (GTA5, GRID Autosport, Battlefield 4, ARMA 3, X3: TC, Witcher 3 and COH2) has still not been achieved, and Intel's advantage in this area has remained almost unchanged. It’s worth noting that CPC Hardware worked with very old titles, so no six-core processor could detect tooth protein here anymore.

Another nice benefit of the Ryzen 7 2700X is that it works with much smoother clock transitions than its predecessor.

An important addition to the above results is that the measurements were taken on an A320 board that did not use XFR2 technology, so with a more serious motherboard, it is possible to improve the numbers - here we mean the speed achieved during games.
