AMD confirms the arrival on July 27 of the new AMD Ryzen 3 and shows the performance of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X, which logically in Cinebench R15, beats the Intel i9 7900X processor.
More information is coming out regarding the new AMD Ryzen processors, specifically the Ryzen 3 and the Threadripper. The first thing is to talk about the AMD Ryzen 3, which will arrive on the 27th, specifically the Ryzen 3 1200 with four cores and four threads with a base frequency of 3.1GHz, reaching up to 3.4GHz in Boost mode. The Ryzen 3 1300X will arrive with four physical cores and four processing threads as well, with the exception that this processor will have a 3.5GHz base and a 3.7GHz Boost mode which will have the faulty XFR technology.
Now let's get to the good, big time. AMD wanted to show off their chest with the Threadripper 1920X with twelve cores and twenty-four threads of processing with 32MB of L3 cache with a frequency of 3.5GHz and a Boost mode of 4.0GHz with XFR (for what it's good for…) and also with the Threadripper 1950X which will have sixteen cores and thirty-two threads with 32MB of L3 cache with a base frequency of 3.4GHz and a 4.0GHz Boost mode, which will also have that of XFR. The Threadripper 1920X will cost $ 799 and the Threadripper 1950X will cost $ 999.
These four processors joined internally in a DIE of biblical proportions, has been shown by Lisa Su and John Taylor under the Cinebench R15 benchmark. The Threadripper 1950X has given a result of 3062 points and the Threadripper 2431 points, while the Intel i9 7900X with fewer cores gives a result of 2167 points. We must emphasize that this type of benchmark prioritizes the number of cores over the frequency, so it is normal. Intel's top-of-the-range processors are yet to come, which should destroy AMD's Threadripper processors. It should be noted that at the moment for Threadripper there are no heatsinks and we will see how these processors really work and most importantly, their consumption and temperature, which points to be huge.

Sometimes I get the slightest feeling that they just don't like AMD processors or that they're upset about something with their products, I don't know. Intel is still the best but AMD has made huge strides this year, even forcing price cuts on processors, and bringing 8C/16T processors to the mass market which is appreciated even if they're two processors glued together, Intel would never have done that without that price. On the other hand, Intel has been releasing rehashes every year for a long time now. In an article where I think an important AMD achievement should be highlighted and that would probably benefit everyone by putting some competition on Intel, there are phrases like "Intel's top-of-the-range processors are just waiting to come out, which should destroy AMD's Threadripper processors" - It's like these articles are very pro-Intel.
It is not the first time that I read and think just that, and it also impresses me how someone can defend a company with such reprehensible ethics, instead of promoting competition in order to improve products for users, it is just throwing shit at the only company that is helping something to change for us.
Despite the insistence, AMD Ryzen processors are nothing more than two quad-core processors packed into an encapsulation, they are not pure eight cores and we are seeing that Infinity Fabric works half and better let's not talk about XFR, which does not work. Threadripper is nothing more than two Ryzen put together, hence four quad-core processors. In that Intel is right, AMD processors are glued processors and it has already been shown that they do not work correctly. Regarding performance, if we compare 16-core processors against a 10-core multi-threaded one, it wins, but why is nothing said about single-thread? Because Intel destroys them there. You only look at the price and the users who buy these products look at other things.
Yes, they have lowered the price and everything you want, but the reality is that AMD with more cores beats Intel processors, on many occasions, by chance and if it succeeds. It has been seen that the i7 7700K with half the cores can with the Ryzen 7 in many games and with the 5-core Ryzen 6, let's not talk. I also say that for me the Kaby Lake are a nonsensical rehash and the i7 7700K would not buy it, because it is a bad processor that heats up a lot. I am not short of talking about things, be it to criticize one or the other. You can look for the crack against Intel for saying that the i7 7700K do not have temperature problems. It's mine.
The infinity fabric today has improved a lot, I would dare to say that it no longer gives problems ...
Of course the hardware improves its latency or speeds over time, they were shooting ...
Do you know what agesa is?
Perfectly, and what it optimizes is the compatibility with high-speed memories, it does not improve the latency or speed of the infinity fabric without depending on the memory
And the windows performance profile for ryzen?
The only thing I know is that since the agesa 1.0.0.6 was released, not only are more memories compatible, but performance in general has been improved.
And since when is infinity fabric? Does the infinity fabric also handle consumption management?
Well, they work for AMD ...
When AMD has better technology than Intel or Nvidia, something that has rarely happened, but it has sold just as expensively as Intel and Nvidia, here a fragment of the launch of the Radeon 5870.
"The ATi 5870 is very interesting for the most demanding public, although its price is prohibitive for most users"
The Radeon 5870 arrived 7 months before the Geforce 480, in its day AMD did something similar with the Athlon FX, when AMD sells cheap it is because they know that they cannot compete directly, you will see how much Vega costs because they cannot match Nvidia.
The only company that is helping something change in our favor ... fanaticism.
You have to imagine if AMD makes everything cheap, it does not collect anything and if it does not collect anything or enough closes the company or what happened this time, it takes longer to get something that can compete with others, it lacks logic what you say.
Man, hit four processor, create a processor, which can be seen to have enormous proportions, call it an achievement, well of course not. It has managed to take a leap, which was about time, really, because its latest processors were almost two years old. It has been seen that AMD has been leapfrogging with Ryzen, launching it with incomplete BIOS, which we have known was because AMD notice no time to make motherboards and of course, it has happened that the BIOSes were not going and plates during the first month just they could be found. What it cost us to get Ryzen motherboards and processors, for their review, was a real joke, because in Spain neither the brands nor the stores had.
Threadripper seems like a desperate solution to compete against Intel in a segment in which they have not competed. Much is said about the power of the Basins Falls and temperatures and others, but if the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X, the brick of AMD I do not even want to imagine what should be heated. I want to see the Infinity Fabric operating with four CCX modules, which we will see if it goes well or saturates.
I want to think that the people that AMD defends so much are people who did not live the megahertz race, in those years you bought a processor and in months there was a better one, today they celebrate AMD that launches processors with many cores and I hope that many of the who defend AMD have at least a Ryzen 1700 because in the plan that AMD put in this year we end up with 16 cores, the next with 24 or 32 and see if in 3 years an 8-core processor is worth something.
It is true Intel improved its processors little, but it allowed a processor to last you 8 years without having to change since all the software was optimized for a maximum of 4 cores, I would have preferred that AMD launched 4-core processors and a very high IPC and not get into the ordinary stupid race to add more cores.
No it is not, the following years of ryzen 2 and 3 will be in increase of frequencies and in improvements of infinity fabric.
So stop investing in improving them and that way they last longer!
Censoring comments that you think differently? it is incredible what fanaticism reaches ...
Delete this page, it gives cancer to read it.
We are going to explain it so that everyone understands. This is like competing in Formula 1. Surely many dream of winning it, but to do so you have to go to big teams. Racing in Toro Roso (AMD) is very good, but of course the budget does not reach the level of Mercedes (Intel). You can roll on the track and see how other cars pass you and have the feeling of driving a great car, but you will not win, it is practically impossible. The same goes for AMD, which offers the ability to do complex tasks for less, but the raw power is Intel. Despite whoever it may, this is the reality, that Intel has plenty of power, which is seen in the benchmarks and AMD for its part has the price, a little less power. Yes, with AMD you will reach the goal, but Intel will arrive before, because it has more power.
Strange analogy… AMD with Ryzen is outperforming many higher-priced Intel models, so using your analogy it’s like buying a Toro Roso and upgrading to an Intel Mercedes for less. So you have to be very “smart” to buy that Mercedes that is more expensive and only more powerful on rare occasions.
JAJAJAAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJ YOU ARE SMOOTH IMPARTIALS.
DEFECTIVE THE XFR DECÍS XD.
Plus I bet those two sticky dies get hot and consume less than the shitty machines released by intek.
According to what has been read in the different comments, what mania with which Intel always has an advantage over AMD, which I do not dispute, but when things turn it seems that an unbearable anger comes in and like you do not want to see the realism that right now it exceeds in performance As much Intel is launched, well, after having appeared on the scene AMD giving strong what happens, while doing more than getting money from its users with slight improvements of some processors with time? They will be good, of course, but AMD also has its advantages, which for me, late towards us, means that we have good components both in one and another platform, and stop so many quarrels and discussions that we have always had the same without contributing for years true answers to the various issues when it is always about vs.
What do you mean there are no heatsinks announced for Threadripper? Damn, for a hardware website you guys are very poorly informed. Go build a server with one of those 600w Xeon Platinums, I can see the "blues" pay you well xD.
