Ryzen - Return of the Jedi

[chew*]

Being grass roots and enthusiast its exactly why i reviewed the 1700 chip. Im not a review site or paid and AMD is very easy going with me...they basically let me be the judge and do as i wish. Unlike them i have my eyes and ears closer tuned to the community as well...i see a want for 32gig of ram i look into it.

Anyway i was unimpressed with 1800x even though max frequency is higher stock or oced than my 1700.

My 1700x is preety much a dud (3.8stable).

I am most impressed by chips that gain the most total...3.0 to 3.9 is nice....3.6 to 4.0 ehhh not exciting.

Anyway xfr bounces core to core as does turbo. Only time it will stick is say a single threaded app. It will latch on to that one core and run 4.1 on 1800x providing chip is kept cool.

Preety much 1800x imo is for ln2 top results or stock users. Plop it in set memory speed and enjoy.

1700 at 3.9 all core oc will kick a stock 1800x azz in cinebench just because of the way dynamic tdp controlled turbo works..
