thanks for watching tech quickie click the subscribe button and enable notifications with the bell icon so you won't miss any future videos one of the things I just love about the computer industry is the naming conventions you can put your ek predator cooler inside your Acer predator desktop one of the best GPUs on the market shares a name with the world's most mundane display resolution and the industry as a whole has more references to the force than the entire expanded universe so then it was a huge surprise to no one when AMD continued this proud tradition of uncreate of naming by designating their lineup of new rise in CPUs as rise in 3 5 & 7 the same numbers that team blue started using all those years ago but to AMD's credit they've gone a different direction with what those numbers actually mean starting at the bottom we've got risin 3 though I would hardly call this bottom low-end every rise and 3 chip comes with 4 cores and 4 threads similar to an Intel Core i5 a 65 watt TDP means that the small included wraith stealth heatsink that looks somewhat similar to an Intel stock solution should do you nicely if you're not interested in overclocking horizon 3 will run you between 109 and a hundred and $29 depending on exactly which model you choose stepping up we've got rise in 5 which has both 4 core 8 thread and 6 core 12 thread models positioning them actually against mainstream grade core i7s except at the very high end so that one is simple enough but the cooler situation here is a little confusing the lowest end 1,400 gets the same stealth cooler as before then the other chips get the beefier Wraith spire except for the top-end 6 core 1600 X which has no bundled cooler at all and a higher 95 watt TDP ah so risin 5 will run you between a hundred and sixty nine and 189 for four cores or 219 to 249 if you want something with six at the top of the mainstream stack is the risin 7 line up all of which are 8 core 16 thread affairs again here you'll see T DPS between 65 and 95 watts and only the lowest end non X risin 7 1700 includes aspire LED cooler though with that said I'd expect many of the folks buying the top tier ones to want high performance aftermarket cooling anyway if you pull the trigger on a risin 7 expect to pay between three hundred and twenty-nine and four hundred and ninety nine dollars but wait there's more that's not the end of it for the first time in a decade AMD is finally competing on the super high end as well with a product called risin thread Ripper this dramatically named processor is based on their server lineup and comes in 8 12 and 16 core variants all with simultaneous multi-threading and 64 PCI Express Lanes these puppies produce copious amounts of heat you will need to provide your own excellent cooler the CPUs are physically massive with over 4,000 LG a style contacts and with pricing from 549 to 999 they are expensive though it's still cheaper than Intel's closest equivalents so then which one should you choose if you're interested well believe it or not if you won't be doing anything more demanding than gaming Rison 3 is probably an excellent bet as there are hardly any games out there today that can substantially take advantage of more than 4 cores but with that said the extra threads and cores of arisin 5 might make sense for you if you're a light content creator or a game streamer if you're a content creator who's doing more heavy lifting such as video editing a higher end rise in v or horizon 7 is a great bet for you as for the Super Deluxe thread Ripper well that one makes sense if you need high-speed quad channel memory tons of course for virtualization and PCI Express Lanes out the wazoo for GPU computer high-end networking or like crazy storage setups regardless of what chip you pick though there are a few things to know well - one every risin SKU is unlocked and overclockable out of the box so you won't be paying an intel style premium just to tweak the multiplier in your BIOS and to Rison isn't quite as strong in applications like games that skew more heavily towards single core performance due to its lower per clock performance compared to Intel however many tests have shown that Rison is a suitable performer in many of those applications and actually a better value for multi-threaded applications so if you're spending a lot of time in Adobe Premiere or streaming in HD you might be pleasantly surprised so let us know in the comments then have you taken the rise and plunge yet what are your thoughts so far and if you have why are you watching this video you already bought it go play some games or edit some videos on the subject of playing games are you tired of playing beat the clock coz you're a busy freelancer well this episode is brought to you by fresh books it's challenging to be self-employed but with the growth of the internet there's never been more opportunities to do it and to meet this need fresh books created their cloud accounting software that's designed for the way you work it's the simplest easiest way to be more productive more organized and most importantly get paid faster you can create and send professional-looking invoices in less than 30 seconds you can set up online payments with just a couple of clicks to get paid up to four days faster you can track expenses with the full-featured mobile app available for iOS or Android and you can see when your client has seen your invoice to put an end to the guessing games FreshBooks is offering a 30-day unrestricted free trial to our viewers so to claim it go to FreshBooks comm slash tech quickie and enter tech quickie and how did you hear about us section so thanks for watching guys if you liked you can hit that button if you disliked well there's the other button you should check out our other channels you should comment with video suggestions and you should scribe and hit the bell icon so you don't miss any of our videos
