what's up guys welcome back to the channel today I am reporting to you from San Francisco California at the AMD press event where they have just unveiled a bunch of juicy details about their long awaited family of Rison CPUs based on the send architecture and you guys have been waiting for this information for a long time and I think you guys are going to be fairly impressed with the information I'm about to share with you I do have a lot of stuff to do right after this and I'm pretty pressed for time so I'm gonna make this quick and to the point hopefully you guys don't mind so just diving right in here disrupt was a big word in this press event that AMD kept throwing around because they are really trying to disrupt the market with the news and family of CPUs and I believe they are going to based on the prices and the specs that they have outlined in today's press event all of the rise in seven chips all three of them that are confirmed right now we're going to feature a course on 16 threads so SMT of course and by the way all of the processors in the Verizon family are going to have unlocked multipliers which kind of keeps the trend that we've seen in the past from AMD now the first few that they talked about was the r7 1700 and that's kind of the the base model within r7 that's got a boost clock I'm sorry a base clock of three gigahertz boosts 23.7 that's a 65 watt TDP and we're gonna see a according to the benchmarks 46 percent over the 7700 K instead of bench multi-threaded that explains that's explained by the fact that we've got that yeah or more cores and eight more threads than the core i7 KB link processor additionally they showed us a handbrake demo between the 1700 and the 7700 K and break again being a multi-threaded encoding application and we basically saw the 1700 render the it was a fairly small file but it did render than 14% less time than the 7700 K and of course that's gonna save you tons more time if you're dealing with larger files the last time well they showed us what the r7 1700 was a game and live stream setup where you they basically had a MOBA playing and they were streaming that out I don't know if it was at 720p or 1080i I'm not exactly sure but the encoding settings were but they had that stacked against the 7700 K once again on the Intel side and basically it would like night and day the Intel demo was choppy it was there clearly an amount of latency that was virtually unplayable where I was on the ricin side it was buttery smooth all the way through and they ended up calculating that the 7700 K system only delivered 82 percent of the total frames for that stream as opposed to 100 percent with the risin set up so that's pretty impressive as well the next cue on the line up is the r7 1700 X and this has a base clock of 3.4 turbo's 23.8 with a 95 watt TDP so a little bit higher now and probably a little bit more commanding in the thermal Department I completely forgot to tell you the price of the r7 1700 let me rewind the price of the r7 1700 is three hundred and twenty nine dollars us which undercuts the 7700 K by about $20 MSRP depending on where you're shopping but that's very impressive considering the benchmarks that we've seen so far now back to the 70 1700 X they tested this against the thousand dollar sixty nine hundred K which was 99 percent slower incentive inch multi-threaded the 1700 X was 37% faster I'm sorry 39 percent faster than the 6800 K which is a $500 CPU incentive inch multi-threaded as well and this processor will come in at just $400 which again undercuts the Intel equivalent the 1600 K and finally the processor that many of you have been raving and ranting about for a long time now is the 1800 X which is of course AMD's flagship Rison cpu with 8 cores 16 threads it's an absolute monster a face clock of 3.6 turbo into 4 gigahertz it ties the 69 hundred K in Cinebench single threaded applications and they actually did a multi-threaded application in the same program and found a 9% boost in score with the 1800 X over the 69 hundred K and the final demo they showed off was a comparison between an r7 1800 X and again the 6100 K in Sniper Elite where the system was basically rocking to our X 480 s in crossfire and they essentially showed again a side-by-side comparison on the screen all we saw was the little framerate counter it wasn't an A to B compare in terms of the gameplay was being displayed so it was hard to kind of gauge a one-to-one comparison but they both seem that they seem very comparable but for the most part it seemed like they were still in the same 70 to 80 FPS range at 4k which is pretty good so you can definitely get a premium gaming experience with something like the 1800 X now that is going to be coming in at $500 MSRP that's less than half the price of a 69 hundred K and beats the crap out of it in certain applications I shouldn't say beats the crap out of it it's probably not a landslide but still it's a landslide victory when you can when you consider price to performance no doubt so we're gonna it'll be interesting to see how Intel responds in their own way with perhaps some price cuts in the near future the nub of r7 processors from AMD is gonna be launching March 2nd but you can pre-order them right now at the time of seeing this video that means pre-orders should be open today from up to 185 different retailers and boutique OMS around the globe so very exciting stuff here the last thing I want to mention is a dbid confirm that there's going to be six or seven dozen a.m. for motherboards though they're gonna be available at launch so you'll have plenty of options to choose from and you can get building your a m4 platform computer as soon as the launch comes around but that's pretty much all the information I have for you guys though this was a very simple basic straightforward video so hopefully that's alright but thank you all so much for tuning in I'll be sure to keep a close eye on Rison as it comes so they do it for more tech stuff coming at you really soon guys be sure to LIKE the video if you enjoyed I got to get the hell out of here and continue on with the rest of the festivities at this event but thank you all so much I appreciate it how's it going
