Trying AMD Ryzen

2017-02-22
hey guys this is Austin if you're into computers you've probably heard about AMD's rising but what's all the hype about so Andy invited us out to San Francisco where we got to learn a ton about the brand new rising 7 processors now these are high in we're talking about prices between 330 and $500 however they have very high-end performance to match all rise in seven processors have eight cores with hyper-threading you can overclock them and they don't even have integrated graphics they really are completely targeted toward the high-end desktop market whether you're gaming editing whatever so I'm curious about is what they're actually like to use so the first thing I want to check out is the demo showcase so Andy has a lot of different rising systems here including a couple maybe quite some of the big advantages that Rison has are more cores they're just about as fast as a neutral plan on the intel side so for example at about the same price on this side they have an r7 1700 on this side there's an i7 7700 K and the big difference here is that while this is a fork or hyper footed system this is an 8 core hyper fighting system so in theory we should be able to see a pretty big difference so Rison looks like it's going to be a bit faster so right now we're averaging about 63 frames per second here where's on the i7 Savelle 58 this is a good example so the rise in ship even though it does have 8 cores it's running at about like 3.1 3.2 gigahertz whereas the i7 is running about 4.3 right now but more cores are definitely going to help with a task like this like here we go so it's finishing up and it took almost exactly one minute whereas over here minute 10 seconds so not a huge difference but I think this is a good example of why more cores could definitely be helpful when it comes to video editing streaming that kind of stuff this chip on the right causes less than this chip on the list really yes well you were in the same presentation I was sorry I'll be on the side what if you guys can yet well what a pretty standard looking cooler it's definitely big cards oh so this is pretty much to the full like 2017 and II set up so I does it have the new rice and sleep you but also a really cool graphics card okay I should play on right now based on the slides that I assume is probably one of them two totally normal GPUs but I have no idea but um it runs battlefront I feel like I need to leave here before so many other neons like absolutely looking at this so it's interesting here is that well these are both eight core CPUs the rising ships are going to be significantly less expensive this guy runs I think about like a thousand dollars or so whereas even the high end rise in the eighteen hundred eggs that's still only going to be five hundred dollars and if you don't need that extra clock speed you get an eight core chip for 330 bucks the amount of course you need does depend on what you're doing so for gaming I still do think that for course is still probably going to be enough eight cores is not going to magically make your game run twice as fast however if you are doing things like editing screaming that kind of stuff and the extra power can come in handy especially in consider that's about the same price you're just getting more kinda seems like a no-brainer of course we will find out when I actually get my hands on not send a bench at the AMD demo room Rison seven will be available for pre-order starting today and will be on sale March first so you get three different options there's risin 7 1700 which will cost you 330 there's 1700 X which will cost you 400 and there's 1800 X which will cost you 500 now even though there's a big price difference they're all eight cords are all essentially the same the biggest difference is the clock speed and how high you can overclock on top of Verizon seven which is exciting on the high end if the leaks and rumors are to be believed then there might be some lower end options coming soon so definitely be sure to let me know what you guys think about rising in the comments below and stay tuned there may be a couple PC builds coming soon
