AMD Ryzen 7 1800X in the Passmark CPU Mark easily passes most i7 7700K tests and also Intel's more powerful processors that are priced well above the Ryzen 7 1800X.
We are entering the decisive week of the processor market, since this week the new AMD processors will be launched on the market. The latest has been a benchmark of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor using the Passmark CPU Mark software. For the comparison, up to ten results from the CPU Mark have been used. The AMD processor offers really interesting results and is up against the more powerful Intel processors.
The processors used have been the Ryzen 7 1800X, the i7 6900K, the i7 5960Xm, the i7 6800K, the i7 7700K and the AMD FX 8350. In wccftech to avoid manipulations or fluctuating data, they have used only the stock frequencies of these processors and they have been mounted with 16Gb of RAM memory and the operating system has been Windows 10. Only the i7 5960X and the FX 8350 have not been executed in Windows 10, since there is no data from these processors under this operating system and they have been moved with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8, respectively.
We see how the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X offers excellent single-threaded performance, scoring slightly better than the i7 6900K, but below the i7 7700K. This benchmark is primarily based on frequency. The higher the frequency at which the processor works, the better the result, it's that simple. This type of benchmark is not the most relevant of all, since all the tasks are multi-threaded or, in other words, it makes use of more than one processing core. It serves only to see how powerful the processor is in a single thread.
We go to the multi-thread, where we see that the AMD processor performs and not little. It has performed excellently well in SSE instructions, devastating Intel processors, but also offers very good scores in data compression and encryption, very interesting parameters, which show us the potential for editing digital content and its subsequent compilation. In floating point we also see how this processor has behaved in an excellent way.
We see how in Physics the processor does not behave as well as the top Intel processors and that with respect to the AMD FX 8350 processor there is no excessive improvement, which exists, but we also see that the distance with the Intel i7 7700K processor is minimal. This is not very relevant, because it is based on graphics power, something that is intended for graphics cards. In the calculation of prime numbers it is also below the most powerful Intel processors, but above the i7 7700K. This also depends on the number of cores and the frequency, which is why the AMD processor does not manage to beat the Intel flagships. Nor are they entirely interesting data, being realistic.
The results as a whole are very clear, the new AMD processors are above the Intel processors, with the exception of the i7 6950X, which is difficult to beat since it has ten cores and twenty processing threads, although being realistic And for price, it is an irrelevant processor at a commercial level, since acquiring this processor, for the average user is absurd, because for gaming we are worth the i7 7700K that is worth about five times less, since that processor is designed for others applications. Far from all this, Intel has a serious problem, which will force the company to react ahead of time.

It seems strange to me before going on sale, it beats the intel in dual chanel at everything, but because they do not put the high-end intel with quad chanel, according to what you do not see the difference if you notice it; It seems to me that it is pure marketing for people to buy excessive as an example the iPhone, until I have it with real tests I am not going to change the 4790k for this 1800x or for Intel skylake x or cannonlake
Fan boy, real tests are already coming out. Otherwise, you're playing dumb. I have a 2700k and I've never been forced to change, but I find AMD's proposal interesting. It's more expensive than the 6850k, and in some tests, it beats the 6900k, a $1500 processor.
I'm not a fan of either of them, in fact I've had more AMD computers, the 4790k replaced a single-core Sempron, this was done out of the need for software and hardware compatibility to design graphically and in 3D, the Intel one is falling short in applications, now that I'm playing blind I don't believe it, you have to look at the reality like the 6900k and 6950x that here in Mexico cost $24,849 and $38,089 pesos; a processor that is on pre-sale for $10,500 with an efficiency of Xeon E7-8894 v4.
