guys guys you won't believe where I've been or when I've returned from the far-off time of q3 2017 after the launches of AMD's risin 5 and risin 3 and oh you don't want to know what happens between now and then but anyway that's not important right now what is important is I've brought back a little souvenir welcome to our early preview of risin 3 and rise in 5 the Phoenix auteur is a full-sized minimalistic li designed keyboard complete with Cherry MX switches and a new white backlit variant check it out at the link below okay okay so I'm no dark brown and I Drive a Lambo not a DeLorean so we should just get this out of the way right now we don't actually have a rise in five or a rise in three chip or do we no no we don't this right here is our rise in seven 1800 X and what we are going to do is use our motherboard BIOS to match the core counts and frequencies that AMD has announced and see how they might stack up you may have your doubts about this method but we've demonstrated in the past that it works shockingly well in this video here so which chips will we be testing then well aside from our rise in seven 1800 X and 1700 X as real-world baselines and a core i7 7700 K to represent the blue team we're taking the rise in five 1600 X and 1400 X and the rise of three 1200 X for a spin we'll be doing it all with our replacement Asus crosshair 6 based rise in test bench and as for our GPU we'll be testing with our new FPS per dollar high performance King the GTX 1080 Ti now considering that the highest clock rise in five CPU is still a 3.6 gigahertz base 4 gigahertz booth chip the same as the 1800 X we're pretty certain that we're not going to see any performance difference in single-threaded tasks with the 1600 X making it slower in multi-threaded workloads but potentially a wicked gaming chip there are some things to keep in mind with these tests as AMD's precision boost is disabled the moment a custom frequency is set we've had to lock the frequencies of our slower clock virtual CPUs since precision boost and excess are only kicked in in lightly threaded workloads in our testing we chose to split the difference between their base frequencies and maximum XF our clocks that is 3.75 gigahertz for the 1400 X and 3.6 gigahertz for the 1200 X this clearly isn't 100% accurate particularly since that puts our lower end chips running at a higher base frequency while at full loads it should still give us a ballpark representation for our overall performance analysis across all of our tests finally we're uncertain at this time whether disabling cores on Rison also disables extra cash so do keep that in mind with all that boring stuff out of the way now though let's kick it off with our gaming benchmarks today at 1080p since these are mid-range CPUs that were simulating we see our virtual 1600 X performing better in Deus Ex mankind divided than the lower clocks but pricier 1700 X rise of the Tomb Raider shows us more of the same while for honor shows our 1400 X also performing well with its higher base frequency sadly an artifact of our methodology since risin doesn't boost for that long at full load GTA 5 clearly will take all the cores and cycles it can get while Ghost Recon wildlands on the other hand shows only the i7 7700 caves single-threaded performance pulling away with a measurable lead doom gives the 7700 K a much more significant lead with the Rison series making a pretty linear slope after that and finally like GTA 5 Crysis 3 shows again a first for everything with our 1200 X falling far behind thanks to its mere four cores and four threads moving on to synthetics 3d mark shows our risin platform generally outperforming the 7700 K until we get all the way to our quad course and the same is true of 7-zip where even our 1600 X outperforms it's more expensive Intel rival PC mark is another highlight for AMD the 1600 X's performance is close to the 1800 X and another instance where our methodology benefited our 1400 X in a way that won't quite hold true in the real world the 1600 X again falls ahead in the single threaded y cruncher test but our multi-threaded test brings us closer to our kind of linear slope Cinebench 2 shows us a fairly predictable results except for the i7 which only beats the much cheaper quad core rise in chips rounding our test out asus real bench shows us its preference for a clock speed for image editing thread count on encoding and a combination of the two in heavy multitasking with our benches stacking up accordingly but to put all that performance stuff in the appropriate perspective we need to look at pricing at 249 the 1600 X seems to hit the sweet spot with its 1800 X like performance in everything but our most multi-threaded benchmarks the 1400 X at 169 seems like a really solid value too considering its thread parity with our i7 and decent scoring which lends it at the top of the pack for performance per dollar the 1200 X rumored at 149 is well Andy's marketing is all about thread count and with only four Rison just isn't pulling quite as much weight however at that price it's actually our second best performer per dollar placing it in an excellent position for budget CPU and if you've watched our rise in OSI guide you're probably thinking that this one is actually much closer to the Athlon XP 2500 plus than the 1700 X and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong though something our eight core processor cannot simulate is how hot these chips will run or how well they'll overclock so that all remains to be seen so with all of that said then we have to stress again that this isn't an exact measurement in particular our 1,400 X and 1200 X cores are likely suffering from the loss of precision boost but taken with a grain of salt these results should paint a pretty clear and pretty exciting picture one that we can't wait to verify against the real deal though tax Magna C and 10 series is one of the smallest VR ready gaming pcs available measuring at just eight point two seven by seven by two point four five inches it's quiet while operating and it's lightweight at less than eight pounds making it genuinely portable you can even get it with an nvidia gtx 1070 to go along with it skylake core i5 6400 t its dual hdmi 2.0 ports and its compatibility for high-speed nvme SSDs you can learn more at the link in the video description and get your own so thanks for watching guys if this video stuck just like it if it was good then we'll I can't get subscribed for more videos like it and check out the link to where to
