Can AMD Ryzen processors handle Intel Cannon Lake?

AMD Ryzen will compete with Intel Kaby Lake and Intel Cannon Lake this year and depending on how AMD's processors perform, we may have a good year or Intel's monopoly.

This is war. This year we face between, who knows, if the final battle between Intel and AMD. AMD for its part has AMD Ryzen ready, which will be launched in about a month, and they are a great bet on the part of the company. Intel, for its part, has launched the Intel Kaby Lake processors on the market about a month ago, although they will not be the only Intel processors this year. The fight will be tough and fun, because we will see a lot of data and many will benefit from this processor war.

AMD Ryzen

AMD bets on AMD Ryzen in processors and AMD VEGA, in terms of graphics cards. The great novelties of AMD processors will support DDR4, which will be the first of the company with support for these memories. All AMD Ryzen will have overclocking capacity and in the end, after the claims that they said, that there would be no six-core processors, we have known that yes, there will be six-core processors, in addition to eight and four-core. We already know all the models, because they have been filtered and something in them has caught our attention.

AMD Ryzen vs. Intel Cannon Lake?

The HardwareSfera team was particularly struck by the fact that these new AMD processors are comparable to Skylake and Kaby Lake in terms of performance. We were surprised to see quad-core processors like the Intel i7 6900K, Intel i7 6800K, and Intel i7 7700K performing this way. This suggests that to truly compete with these processors, AMD needs eight cores in the SR7 1800X, SR7 Pro 1800, and SR7 1700X.

Maybe we go ahead and compare them with these processors, because there is nothing more powerful on the market and they will surpass them in performance. This would be valid if we leave the Intel Broadwell-E, the extreme version, with six cores and a performance, which as its price indicates, is out of the box. If AMD cannot compete in performance with these processors, AMD has a problem, but if AMD equals or exceeds the performance of the Skylake and Kaby Lake by less than 10%, it has a very big problem.

Intel Q3-Q4 2017

Leaving aside the Kaby Lake, which are nothing more than a retouched Skylake, this year Intel, in summer, will launch a new extreme series, the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X, which logically have to be extremely powerful processors, not suitable, by price, to all audiences. Far from these processors for a minority audience, we could see this pipe, in November or December, the Intel Cannon Lake.

Cannon Lake out of the box puts AMD Ryzen in a bad place, since these processors will support DDR4 RAM in Quad Channel configuration. These processors are expected to support two graphics cards in PCIe 3.0 x16 2-Way configuration, just like the AMD Ryzen. These new processors should also be more focused on Intel Optane and improve the performance of the M.2 SSD and Thunderbolt 3 ports.

AMD Ryzen vs. Intel Cannon Lake

The things clear and the chocolate thick. AMD has a ballot that can launch it again in the processor market, sweeping current Intel processors and capable of competing with Cannon Lake or being relegated to entry-level and basic mid-range gaming for gaming and leaving free way Intel, for powerful and mid-range solutions. This implies a problem for AMD, which could not recover from a blow of this size

Conclusion

We are the first interested in AMD Ryzen being better than expected. If, for whatever reason, these processors do not meet expectations and do not represent a tall rival for Intel, we can start preparing. Intel will put the price it wants to its processors, so to have power to spare, we will have to put a lot of money on the table to have an Intel processor and AMD will stay in an economical and discreet solution. Hopefully AMD delivers. The resolution, on March 2.

    Why do they talk so much nonsense, the article is very bad

      There are many worse articles out there than the one I wrote a long time ago, before I had so much information about this CPU

        Maybe anxiety plays a trick on you

    I find the article a bit biased from the beginning Let's see: why do you put them to compete against an architecture that today only exists ideally? That way the title could also be: Cannon Lake against [AMD's upcoming studio release].
    I recently discovered this page and while it seems like a kind of gossip show rather than a serious page with reliable content, I usually take a look at them from time to time for the same reason that I think women consume celebrity fights: pure taste to see mess.
    The day that in this medium the editorial line is impartial computer journalism, you may be a better option guys, you can be better than what we see today, keep working to achieve it!
