this time around with AMD's second-generation rise in processes they have changed things up a little bit especially compared to the 1000 series where if you bought the 1800 X you are paying a considerable amount more money than the risin 7 1700 and in fact the last generation of rising CPUs all's I was recommending with a non excuse that is the ones that came in a lot cheaper and often in my opinion the best value for money however this time around you've got the flagship coming in at 329 retail followed by a $30 discount for the Rison 720 700 now between those thirty dollars you get a much better cooler on the 2700 X this is the RGB Wraith prism cooler not only does it look better and actually performs pretty well enabling you to get over 4 gigahertz on all eight cores with the included cooler which does represent very good money out of the box the 2700 however you guys did point me up in a previous video and it does have a big purpose and that is because the TDP is lower it can actually out of the box run a lot better especially in mini ITX configurations so I will pull up some numbers here for you guys you can see the power consumption figures both out of the wall are a lot lower for the 2700 versus the 2700 X even the 2600 comes in with a significant amount less power draw than the 2600 X so in my opinion this is what makes the 2 non X variants very viable this time around therefore that person who wants to put it in a new small form-factor build and they don't want much power draw and they do want to keep the efficiency as high as possible because in a mini ITX PC you will get a situation where the VRMs might not be that good on a mini ITX motherboard but also the air flow could be stuffy in general so it does make sense sometimes to not always overclock your CV used and if you need to save that $30.00 in both cases then you can get that with the non ex variants so today's video is going to be a little bit different in that I'm testing all these CPUs with their included stock coolers as I believe this time around it's much more relevant for someone who wants to buy one of these CPUs and see how it performs out of the box because if you know how to overclock or on the other note if you know how to under vault and under clock then they're really the both the eight cores are going to do the exact same thing and same with the six cause however out of the box they do come wide a little bit differently when we pull up the Cinebench scores we can see that the six core the 2600 did come in with an all core score of twelve hundred and thirty seven CB the single threaded score went up to one hundred fifty eight CB as opposed to the X variant which went up to thirteen hundred eleven and 169 on a single core they're moving over to the eight cores we can see that the 2700 came in with an impressive fourteen hundred and seventy nine CB and on the single core it did score the lowest of all four CPUs coming in with 143 points moving over to the X variant this scored one hundred and sixty-nine on single threaded scores and also a multi-threaded score at sixteen hundred and eighty-one though as I mentioned before the power consumption was a significant amount more on the twenty seven hundred X both from the wall and both in the inbuilt sensors then it was to the twenty seven hundred of course what about clock speeds in regards to all these four CPUs well this is where things get a little bit weird because the clock speeds at least from my testing here we're jumping up and down and they usually sat within a 100 megahertz range the most they saw out of a single core was the 2600 X and also the 2700 X coming in with similar of 4.0 five to four point one five gigahertz however it was important to note that this was jumping and bouncing between different cores and when it came to the gaming benchmarks I did notice that they all scored pretty similar however the 2600 X did edge out all these other four CPUs so if it's one thing if you are on a budget and you are a gamer and you don't want to overclock and you want to go with AMD CPU lineup then the 2600 X may be the best choice for you also with the memory I did lock in ddr4 Ram profiles because if I didn't there was some insane stuttering this was testing with a GTX 1080 ti2 so one thing you will want to do with AMD Seabee use is get some decent memory with solid XMP profiles or if you know how to overclock memory you will definitely want to do that to get the best results especially when it comes to gaming now going back to the clock speeds out of the box XO file boost technology does do a good job even with the included coolers if you want to put on something like an enthusiast cooler like a h1 10 from Corsair then you can expect slightly higher performance especially with the 2700 X which uses the most power out of these 4 CPUs I did see up to four point zero five gigahertz Auto boosting on all cores with a h1 10 I however when it came to temperatures with these CPUs you could see that the 2600 even with its lowest clock speeds here whilst performing the worst that Wraith stealth cooler in my opinion just isn't fit for the job it's more appropriate for a fork or even a fork or eight threaded CPU from AMD but with the six core 12 thread you can't really expect or at least you shouldn't be expecting too much in terms of overclocking with the race itself comes in just over 300 grams as opposed to the 2700 X which is coming over half a kilogram and then these other two variants here the race spire and you do get the race spot led with the 2700 they're coming in close to 400 grams so if it's one thing to say about the 2600 I do believe it's really only good for out-of-the-box speeds if you want to overclock on this thing then I'd recommend getting a new cooler even it'd be a thirty dollar budget cool a master 212 for example so now the last part of this video was where I went to Twitter and as I was benchmarking these CPUs I asked you guys if you wanted to see any tests in particular and the first request was a be 350 motherboard tested out so I did test out the 2700 X on the b3b motherboard there was no problems running this CPU had boosted up absolutely fine the ddr4 memory as well that overclocked to the exact same levels and in fact I could even get some HyperX stuff which was 21 33 megahertz even with the XMP profiles I got that up to 3200 mega that's on a be 350 motherboard so it depends on the be 350 motherboard but some of them may be bad they may just need a BIOS update to work properly or at least work at 100% but some at least like the gigabyte model they do work really well especially with the latest bios with the AMD rise in second generation CPUs the next question I got asked of course was test out memory overclocking I was able to get thirty six hundred megahertz on the g.skill Sniper stuff and on the HyperX stuff I went up to thirty-two hundred megahertz keep in mind I did have to relax the timings quite a bit but it does go to show that these second generation of CPUs does have a better integrated memory controller especially compared to the previous generation of Verizon first-generation CPUs and then besides some other bizarre requests I did get asked about gaming benchmarks so I did include a couple of games for you guys csgo and also Final Fantasy 15 this just gave us some numbers that I really wanted to see and nothing was really out of the ordinary here the 2600 x out of the box with the gtx 980ti in my opinion was performing the best out of these four CPUs and you probably wondering why is the 2600 X beating the 2700 X at least in csgo I believe it's got to do with the level 3 cache this has more dedicated to 6 cores as opposed to this having the same amount dedicated to 8 cores and of course csgo doesn't really take advantage of all those 8 cores 16 threads perfectly and then move ahead of Final Fantasy 15 there was some pretty bad point 1 percent low results here but I do believe that has to do more so with the GPU because I was doing this at Ultra white I wasn't actually testing it at 1440p it was like 1440p ultra wide so was even that much more stressful than a 1440p benchmark but the numbers were pretty similar in that benchmark itself so if you're going to go one CPU to the other and you're going for high resolution gaming it wouldn't make that much of a difference at all though for your competitive gaming you want to go with something from AMD than the 2600 X is probably your best bet though when it all comes down to it this time around the second generation rise and CPUs all have their purpose to exist the value for money really isn't changing a whole lot between the X and the non X this time around and in fact if all you want to do is get a motherboard some decent ddr4 memory and play games then I'd recommend the 2600 X or if you're doing content creation and you don't want to overclock then I'd recommend the 2700 X though if you're going for a mini ITX solution and you want to keep the power consumption down then both the 2600 and the 20700 will serve you well so that extra $30 it's not a whole big difference this time around and in fact the 2700 X would be my best pick this time around with that Wraith prism cooler but if you're just gaming and you want the best performance out of the box from AMD CPUs then I'd pick the rising 520 600 X so this time around I would personally probably pick these three CPUs out of the bunch I think the 2600 it's kind of a little bit overshadowed by these three this time around and you guys that's about it for me today if you enjoyed this video - be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below which of these CPUs do you think is the best this time around and why love reading your thoughts and opinions as always or if you have any questions of course ters drop them in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can peace out for now bye though when it all boils down to it I just got to change up the a TRO a bit a little bit boils down while we gotta do what we gotta say what we gotta do moving over to the Ecole variants we had go back to the overclocks at hand
