They compare the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor with only four cores and eight threads enabled and it performs roughly the same as the Intel i7 7700K with the base frequency lowered to 4GHz.

AMD Ryzen 7 processors are processors that cope in software where the number of cores is directly proportional to performance, but in gaming they have not been as good as expected, it is not relevant either, since they are not processors for gaming. The processors for gaming are the next AMD Ryzen 5 processors, but while these processors, which will arrive in two versions, one with six cores and twelve processing threads and others with four cores and eight processing threads, the Middle Indian Zolkorn lets us see a simulation.

This specialized medium, we assume that through the AMD Ryzen Master Overclocking, you have disabled half of the cores and processing threads of an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, leaving it at four cores and eight processing threads. Although it is an approximation to what the Ryzen 5 will be, to say that the Ryzen 5, as some not very serious and sensationalized Spanish media has said, will melt the Intel processors and more specifically the i7 7700K, is a real stupidity and more without knowing the frequencies that the Ryzen 5 will have, but it is what happens when one speaks without having the slightest idea.

They have used the Ryzen 7 1800X with four cores and eight processing threads and 16Gb of DDR4 RAM working at 2400MHZ and it has been bought with the Intel i7 7700K processor, but with a trick, since they have reduced the base frequency of the processor from 4.2GHz to 4GHz and the Boost frequency remains at 4.5GHz. Both processors, modified, perform quite the same, but the whole set makes little sense, since nobody will lower the frequency of an Intel processor and disabling cores does not mean that structurally a Ryzen 5 is the same, since it will directly have fewer cores. It's a bit like cheating solitaire.

We do not have the official data on AMD Ryzen 5 processors, but the Ryzen 5 1400X will have four cores and eight processing threads with a frequency not yet revealed. On the price we do not have data, but if it comes out for about € 200-250, by price for gaming, it will be an ideal solution that will sell a lot and that surely yields, but we will do that when the processor comes out and we see how it performs, but do it first it is playing Sandro Rey and we already know how this movie is going.
