[PConline initial evaluation] ten years, Bohai Sangtian, a passionate young man of the year, has now entered the community for many years. Look at this article you may have been set for the coming year. In the presence of dad, the attention to computers has become less and less, but today's such a product will surely evoke your memories, the memories of that youth - that It is the best time for DIY computers. It is the green time after 80 and 90. Those years and those three years were the most beautiful era of AMD and Intel's most decadent era, the Athlon Athlon 64 and the X2 bully market. It was a pity that the emergence of the Intel Core 2 was a decade later. You finally arrived - AMD Ryzen!

More than a decade ago, Athlon 64, the best era of AMD, the best era of DIY computersThe time went backwards back to June 2004, AMD Socket 939 platform was born, with outstanding performance and power control Athlon 64 3000+, 3200 processor shine; the same year, with the FX-53, FX-55 is more With superior performance in many aspects such as game performance, daily applications, and multimedia processing, it surpasses the performance of the Intel Pentium 4 seated performance king! Then, Intel entered the darkest era in history. The third-generation Pentium 4 and dual-core Pentium D have huge power consumption, but their performance is low. Then the Athlon 64 X2 was released in 2005 and continues to be the Swordsman. How about DIYer's dream of owning an Athlon 64 X2? How big is my big AMD?
AMD's "dragon" era, Athlon, dragon, is a feeling
All of this, however, came to an abrupt end with the release of Intel Core 2 in July 2006. Although the Phenom II was good, it faced the powerful Core i7. Still later (2011), another major event in the history of CPU, is familiar to most people, AMD entered the FX (bulldozer) era, a dark history of up to 6 years. (I want to review AMD CPU history, click)
Today, this semiconductor giant in Austin, Texas, seems to be reviving! This time, it brought us a new "dragon": AMD Ryzen 7! Numerous evidence shows that it has the power to call Intel's top CPU.
AMD Ryzen 7: New Microarchitecture, New Interfaces
The AMD Ryzen 7 processor uses a new Zen microarchitecture that is completely different from the FX series bulldozer architecture and the previous Snapdragon K10 architecture. It is a major upgrade. The packaging has also undergone major innovations, which means everything is back! It should be noted that the AMD Ryzen7 1800X and 1700X processor boxes are not equipped with heat sinks and need to be purchased separately. The AMD Ryzen7 1700 is equipped with a boxed heatsink!
PS: I got the first batch of overseas editions, which are slightly different from the domestic retail version. The biggest difference is that the domestic boxed version of the front logo will read "Ryzen AMD Ryzen."
Ryzen7 boxed radiators have the above three models, but unfortunately the strongest MAX models will not be presented with boxed CPUs. They will only be used in cooperative e-commerce consoles and other channels. As for the AMD Ryzen7 1700 processor, This is the middle of this SPIRE radiator, boxed radiators are playing RGB lighting effect, there are wood very heart?
From left to right are the FX8370, 1700X, and 1800X. In addition to changes in the content and Logo on the cover, the AMD Ryzen 7 processor and previous processors have not changed much in appearance.
In terms of back stitches, AMD Ryzen uses a new AM4 slot. The pin count is increased to 1331, which clearly shows that the 1800X and 1700X pins are much denser than the FX8370!
Thickness... Well, nothing!
Comparable to the flagship Core i7 specifications! Ruilong AMD Ryzen 7 Hyperthreading ComesAfter watching the look, let's take a look at the specifications. The AMD Ryzen 7 processor, which I got in my hand, has two models, 1800X and 1700X respectively. I added the Intel i7 6900K for comparison. The details are as follows:
The biggest spec speculation is that AMD Ryzen 7 finally has Hyper-Threading technology! As for the 1800X and 1700X, the only difference in terms of parameters is the frequency. The former is 0.2GHz higher than the latter, and the price difference is 900RMB. As for the TDP, the 95W is the same; after the upgrade, Intel Core is used. Comparing i7-6900K, 1800X is not inferior to frequency at all, TDP is lower than the latter too, the price is only half of 6900K!
Ruilong needs new AM4 motherboard supportAs a result of the new AM4 CPU slot, the entire motherboard market seems to be boiling up, many X370 (flagship, the picture below is the flagship ASUS ROG C6H motherboard, our evaluation board), B350 (mainstream) chipset motherboard, such as It springs up.
ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameters Overview
What is worth mentioning is that when Gaofengge chats with AMD Siemens, the other party revealed that the AM4 slot will continue to be compatible with Ryzen's future products (such as Ryzen 2/3/4 generation), and in the better PCIe bus specification ( For example, PCIe 4.0) will not change the CPU slot before it appears. This will save the user a considerable upgrade cost; that is, an AM4 motherboard can be compatible with multiple generations of products. The point is that Intel is much more conscience than technology-based motherboard-based Intel.
Where is the Ruilong AMD Ryzen processor?

Here are some side-by-side words:
Since it is a matter of fairness, we have to face up to two netizens on the 136th and 166th floors. The original comments are as follows:
I didn’t say anything about the evaluation of my own home. I’d like to look at other homes, domestic micro-computers, driving homes, love live network, Chongqing Computer News, Chiphell and many other media and foreign Anandtech’s evaluation results show that AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and Intel i7 6900K performance is comparable, even the former will be slightly inferior to the latter due to optimization problems; Will you completely suppress 6900K? What is the basis for what we say is that our evaluation of PConline is unfair? Only fair and honest people!

â— CPU theoretical performance test
Fritz Chess Benchmark is a computer chess force test program that comes with chess software. Because it supports CPU multi-threading, and it does a lot of scientific calculations, it is often used to test the scientific computing capabilities of computers. It thinks of chess's algorithm through simulated AI. To test the computer's ability to run chess, the higher the score, the stronger the performance.
wPrime is a software (especially a parallel capability) that tests the computing power of a computer by calculating the number of primes. The shorter the time, the better the computing performance.
CPU-Z is a well-known CPU detection software. It is a software that detects the highest degree of CPU usage. The supported CPU types are quite comprehensive. The software's startup speed and detection speed are very fast. In addition, its new Benchmark can effectively test the single-core and multi-core CPU performance. The higher the score, the better the performance!
â— 3DMark series physical operation test
â— Common software performance testing
WinRAR is a powerful compressed package manager, which uses its equal size file for compression time testing, which can effectively detect the performance of the CPU. The less time, the better the performance.
â— Professional software performance test
TMPGEnc is a set of old high-quality video code conversion tools developed by Japanese companies. Expert group with more than 15 years of video conversion and editing software experience. The ability to perform format conversion and encoding software on its peer-to-peer capacity video files can effectively check CPU performance. The less time spent, the better the performance!
CineBench is a persuasive set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores, but also enhanced the shader, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights and reflection blur, such as the performance of the CPU The detection is more accurate, the higher the score, the stronger the performance!
Using Adobe Premiere Pro to transcode and export the same video file can effectively test the CPU's encoding capabilities, and the less time it takes, the better the performance.
Test summary: Throughout all the test items, the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor was quite strong in the three tests of wPrime, Cinebench R15, TMPGEnc, and CPU-Z. In the CPU-Z test, it not only surpassed i7 6900K, but also Further throw away the i7 6950X, the performance is amazing! In the TMPGEnc video conversion test also appeared the same results, leading 6900K 2 seconds, 6950X 8 seconds; and in the Cinebench R15 multi-core performance test is based on 1618 results leading i7 6900K nearly 10%, leading in wPrime multi-threaded operation I7 6900K 7 seconds. However, in the tests of Chess, Pr Video Export, WinRAR File Compression, 3DMark, etc., it has shown a slight decline, slightly lower than the i7 6900K. Overall, it is not different from the i7 6900K!
The sharp difference between the AMD Ryzen7 1700X and the 1800X is that the frequency is slightly lower, so it is only slightly inferior to the 1800X in all tests. The running points are far beyond the i7 6800K and 7700K. On the other hand, the performance is less impressive, and overall it is equivalent to the i7 6800K.
â—CPU game performance test
Test Summary: In terms of game performance, the AMD Ryzen7 1800X and 1700X processors performed well in Crysis 3, and were slightly inferior to Intel in tank worlds and in the sons of Rome. Most of them were new U listings. Do it well.
â— Platform power consumption comparison test
Test summary: In terms of power consumption control, the AMD Ryzen7 1800X and 1700X performed well. Both the standby and Prime 95 were lower than the i7 6950X and 6900K when they were full. When the game is running, they consume the same power as the latter two, but there is still no i7 7700K. So low, but as an 8-core 16-threaded product, this kind of power control is very gratifying!
â— Comparison of CPU full load temperature
The CPU full load temperature test we use a hundred yuan of the pro-people radiator product overclocking three East China Sea X5 to test, since the release of the AMD Ryzen processor Ruilong, overclocking three aspects is the first time to follow up on the new AM4 base compatible .
Overclocking Donghai X5 Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quotation Parameters Overview
Test summary: In the case of using the same radiator, temperature control AMD Ryzen7 1800X and 1700X performance excellence, copy machine temperature is only 55 °C, a lot lower than Intel's several CPU, I guess there is Thanks to XFR's contribution, AMD has made no effort in terms of power consumption and heat output in recent years.
Additional tests: What happens after you turn off hyperthreading? What happens after overclocking?
AMD Ryzen Master Utility
Using AMD's self-developed overclocking tool "AMD Ryzen Master Utility", (this official name is long...) We control the frequency of the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor at 4.0GHz, and the memory frequency is overclocked to 3200MHz. Test for 16-16-16-39; get the following data:
Or the chart can best explain the problem. After the overclocking, the performance of the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor has been greatly improved. After several overclocking performance tests, the performance is improved by more than 10%, which is a very good example. And this is only the author in the use of hundred yuan air-cooled overclocking three East China Sea X5 under the results of overclocking, I believe that with a more powerful water-cooled radiator with AMD's XFR technology will also get greater performance improvements!
Close the hyperthreading and perform related tests to get the following data:
After shutting down hyper-threading, the theoretical performance of the AMD Ryzen7 1800X ran sharply and many projects dropped by more than 20%. However, the magic is that the performance of the game has slightly increased. This can not help but remind the author of the generation of the year. Core i7... When it came out, the optimization was relatively poor, and some game performance was not as good as the previous generation Core 2 QX9770. However, this phenomenon improved after 3 months, and it completely overtaken in 1 year. .
So every time a new U is born, we should give some patience...
Let's look at the performance of the AMD Ryzen7 1800X and i7 6900K in the same frequency state:
When both U were set at the same frequency of 4.0 GHz, the AMD Ryzen7 1800X showed a great advantage in the CPU-Z test, leading the performance of 17%; but in the chess single-threaded test Less than rivals, the total point of view, Ruilong AMD Ryzen7 do a good job in single-core performance optimization, unlike FX's single-core performance has always been Intel's competitive product explosion!
There is also the effect of high frequency on memory on the memory bandwidth of the Ryzen platform:
Using AIDIA 64's own memory bandwidth test tool to test each frequency bandwidth of the two platforms, the test memory is using GSkill TridentZ RGB DDR4 3200 8GBx4 C16.
It can be seen that after the memory frequency is pulled up, the Ryzen platform's memory read/write performance has been greatly improved. When the frequency is increased to 3000 MHz, the read/write performance is already very close to the 4-channel Intel platform, which is also surprising for the Ryzen platform. local.
Summary: Not completely beyond Intel, but enough to be a blockbuster!
Combining all the test data above, the percentage of this CPU's overall performance is already very clear. Taking the i7 6800K as the benchmark, the performance of the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor is 119%, which is still weaker than the i7 6900K. A loss (2%), but overall it is already very close (but we do not forget that the price of 1800X is only half of 6900K), followed by AMD Ryzen7 1700X, performance percentage is 114%, it can be said odd high!
Therefore, we placed the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor slightly lower than the i7 6900K in the ladder diagram, followed by the AMD Ryzen7 1700X.

In the end, we must point out to everyone:
1 About the performance of AMD Ryzen7: Based on the performance of AMD Ryzen7 1800X and 1700X processors, they can be compared with Intel’s current desktop flagship products (i7 6950X and 6900K). , games, power consumption, and even temperature control are not inferior to Intel's products, although still not to go beyond, but enough to block!
2 About the market positioning of AMD Ryzen7: Let's talk about the market positioning of AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X, and the AMD Ryzen7 1800X processor with a price of 3999 yuan is definitely one of the high-end desktop CPUs. Agent forced the needle, with the performance comparable to the i7 6900K and the price of nearly half of the direct 6900K pulled down the altar! The Ruilong AMD Ryzen7 1700X is a pleasing product, only 3099, the price is cheaper than the 1800X 900 yuan, but it has very close to the latter's performance, I believe that after a number of players more carefully adjusted after the absolute will be a Cost-effective products!
3 Ruilong AMD Ryzen7 impact on the entire industry: AMD Ryzen7 AMD such a out, with excellent performance has broken Intel's pattern in the high-end processor field for many years, inject fresh blood into the market, causing Intel A huge impact! This point to see the recent significant price cuts Intel processors know, and AMD follow-up will be the server product "Naples" (released at 9:00 pm on March 7) and notebook product release, all this undoubtedly the development of the entire industry Played a huge role in promoting!
4 How will Intel respond? Says Intel squeezing toothpaste for many years, because Ryzen is so out of tune, I do not believe it! If Intel doesn't feel the sense of crisis and stalls in the decade due to the decline of its rivals, it will never be a great company! But the current situation is obviously not, I firmly believe that Intel still hides a bigger killer, the second half of this year or next year, CPU performance is likely to usher in the blowout!
After 5Ryzen, where does AMD go? From the current situation and the analysis of AMD's siege of the Lions between the author and AMD, the AMD Ryzen 7 processor is very likely to be tested for water! (Because the AMD siege lions said that they believe that the performance of the current AMD Ryzen7 is sufficient to face the current situation, so I believe that AMD is likely to stay behind, and the true strength of Ryzen has not been fully demonstrated! To be compared with the i7 6950X, it is nothing more than a bunch of two cores, to know that the former's TDP is only 95W, the latter is already 140W.Furthermore, AMD Ryzen 7 processor is a new product, with the motherboard through the processor performance, With further improvements in compatibility, software version updates, improved drivers, and optimization of the BIOS, the author believes that there are still great potentials for the future and will release more potential.
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Reference Price: Loading... Photos Reviews Quote Parameter Overview
After talking about AMD Ryzen's cattle X, we have to talk about its current problems:
1 When inserting 4 memory at the same time, the highest memory frequency can only go to 2400MHz.
2 As the current motherboard BIOS optimization is not yet complete, some versions of the BIOS will fail to enter the system or the CPU performance will be poor.
3 Ruilong AMD Ryzen Master Utility overclocking tool to restart again after the failure of overclocking to enter the tool will still be down, the implication is that the tool still retains the last overclocking failure settings, re-entry and then apply the setting Caused a crash.
4 Sharp Dragon AMD Ryzen part of the game performance is abnormal, follow-up to be optimized for the game.
The above is the full content of this first test of AMD Ryzen7. Thank you for your patience.
The final message: Time flies, ten years, it's been a long time, but it's been a decade before... If you're reading this article, maybe it used to be like me, a DIY computer enthusiast, this time, I believe that the excitement of those years will be brought to you more or less. Today is the day of the world A meal; Today, is the end of Intel squeeze toothpaste; today, is the day to change the PC CPU market for ten years; today, is to evoke 80,90 days after the lush computer; today, Ruilong is listed! DIY history, will remember today - March 2, 2017!
Additional Reading: What innovations did AMD Ryzen bring?The AMD Ryzen 7 processor uses AMD SenseMI technology and covers five technological innovations:
1Pure Power: Accurate Power Control
Pure Power technology utilizes more than 100 embedded sensors on the processor and motherboard to provide real-time, fast feedback for fine-tuned fine control.
Supports real-time monitoring of system operating status, including ambient temperature, frequency, and voltage; controller dynamically adjusts voltage and frequency according to data in real time, while maintaining performance requirements while maintaining minimum energy consumption. Balance performance and power consumption, and strive not to waste every kWh!
2Precision Boost: Precision Frequency Boost
The AMD Ryzen processor also enables serial operation with precise power control control systems to optimize performance, adjust the frequency in real-time without pauses and delays, and perform high-precision frequency adjustment in increments of 25 MHz. Up to a thousand times per second, to achieve the most sophisticated and intelligent dynamic frequency increase.
3Extended Frequency Range (XFR): Adaptive Dynamic Spread Spectrum
This is XFR's adaptive dynamic spread spectrum is very optimistic about the author, it gives me the feeling of the graphics card Boost, the maximum clock frequency can be automatically adjusted according to the change of the cooling scheme, the better the maximum heat dissipation scheme maximum Whether it is air-cooled, water-cooled or liquid nitrogen can be automatically sensed without manual operation, that is, if the frequency of split-type water-cooled AMD Ryzen processor is likely to go very high, of course, this technical effect It still needs to be studied!
4Neural Net Prediction: Neural Network Prediction
The following neural network prediction technology is very mysterious. According to AMD, each Ryzen processor inside is a real artificial intelligence network. It can work like a human brain and automatically record and imitate the use of past applications by users. Habits and software code execution law, in the implementation of the application prior to the application to prepare in advance, and select the best processing path, reduce the operational delay, improve the speed of operation.
Of course, this ... ... can not be studied, the actual use of the process can not find any way to verify, the right to listen to everyone like it, better than nothing, if it is true, this is really pretty Niubi!
5Smart Prefetch: Smart Data Prefetching
The last, intelligent data read-ahead technology, which is based on previous neural network prediction techniques, intelligently predicts the location of future data access application code, tracks the behavior of software through complex learning algorithm models, and thus predicts The requirements of the application pre-fetch important data to the local cache so that it can be called at any time to improve computational efficiency.
