rx 1500 and the rx 1700 fit my wattage use
None..until I see their overclocking limits.
My views exactlyOriginally Posted by Bagpuss
well seeing as this will be my last ever build .if it lasts as long as my 8350 ..
then 1700x or above .. 32gb mem.. it will be on water as I have that now and it just a new block ..
What does it matter now if men believe or no?
What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,

To see the wizard one must look behind the curtain ....
What's the point of upgrading for no performance increase? More modern I/O? Do you actually need anything faster than USB 3.0? That sounds pretty wasteful to me...
The 1600X looks might attractive, but even a 4c8t SKU is an option if the clocks are decent. Most likely I'll go 6c12t, though. It's about time my Core2Quad was put out to pasture.
I will be looking at whichever middle-ground model gives good gaming performance. Probably the 1400X or 1600X.
I'm surprised there are so many people picking out the X models considering all models are rumoured to be unlocked.
For me it would be the 1100 - a quad-core for £120. The 1300 looks like the better chip, but I'd want to pay 10% more for it, not 30-40% more.
The 1500 and 1700 are undoubtedly good chips for those with massively parallel workloads but not worth the extra for my use.
6C/12T Is probably the sweet spot for me. I'll wait and see what the real life differences are between X and non-X models before I form any real opinion.
TBH im more interested in the platform than the CPU as what I have now works fine, its just lacking some of the more modern connectivity options.
1600x or 1700 looks good for me, I do a lot of video photo editing so an 1800x would be great but I am not made of money.
Of course will wait for real world benchmarks/overclocking before deciding/buying anything.
I am still on 5960X from late 2014, Not going to be replacing it anytime soon.
Next pc in 2 years time may very well have the highest end cpu that AMD has to offer at the time of build.
Been a while since I had an AMD cpu, Athlon XP and Athlon 64 days! o.O
1600x or 1700 for me
Assuming what we know is true, the fact that none of the quads can exceed the 4 GHz of the 1800X would suggest to me that going past 4-4.2GHz is difficult on this high density core design and fab process without significant increases in heat and/or voltage.
Given the prices I think this is mostly fine, except that there is no decent competitor in the lineup to the i7 7700K or maybe even the rumoured new fast i5 for games (or other applications that scale poorly with thread count).
A 4GHz hex core would work since it should be fast enough in games and there are two extra cores for streaming or for other day-to-day software. However, since it requires killing two cores on an octacore chip AMD are presumably setting their sights low to capture as many imperfect chips as possible. That leaves the 1800X which again will probably be fast enough in games, but is rather more expensive.
Ryzen 7 1700X or 1800X.
Ryzen 5 1600X is perfect for me. I don't need much more.
I plan on waiting with upgrading my six years old 3820 until until Skylake-X is released in the autumn. However, if the leaks and rumors turn out to be spot on and Ryzen performs exactly as the Red Army thinks, I may just pick up an 1800X once the reviews are out. Given the leaked prices I see no point in looking at any of the other models.
Will be interesting to see what the overclocking benchmarks show when there are a decent sample of results out, but I would expect the 'X' parts to be better silicon if they are self overclocking.
Then there is the fact that I don't usually overclock any more. Sometimes I play games on it so overclocking would mean a glitched frame or unexpected crash and I might lose a bit of gameplay, but I don't want to be losing work because of an overclock. I will however use factory overclocked GPUs, so if these are basically a factory overclock CPU then I have to assume enough QA has gone into them to make sure the part doesn't glitch so I am OK with that.
I would also want one of the parts with the fulll L3 cache, which is partly why the 6 core parts look interesting.
