The PC duck April-May 2018 has been delivered to subscribers since yesterday. And this number is a bit special, since it includes the test of Ryzen 7 2700X, Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 5 2600.
We will not show you the graphs of the results, for a reason of respect. However, we will talk about the trend that emerges.
The Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge on Tun Turbo was better scaled than the Summit Ridge, which saw their frequency drop as soon as more than two hearts were used. The Pinnacle Ridge, including the Ryzen 7 2700X therefore, also have a "modified" uncore (to understand by that he repaired what was working badly), which leads to a better latency of caches and memory. In addition, it is now possible to clock the core and the uncore in a differentiated way. But what does it give?
In games the Ryzen 7 2700X is of course better than the 1800X, but still does not reach the level of Hexacore Intel (Core i7 8700K in mind). By cons in application, AMD has a sacred advantage. Consumption level, it's a bit cold shower since the latter takes off against the old generation (equivalent processors: 1600X vs 2600X, 1800X vs 2700X ...). The engraving "12 nm" (note the quotation marks) does not make miracles either: the ratio perf / conso does not evolve. It was pretty good on the first generation, as we showed in our test of Ryzen 7 1800X , Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700 .
Their magazine will be available from Monday on the shelves. Go buy it, it's worth the detour and the eternal pink rabbit is always there!
It appears an A320 based motherboard was used!!
