CPU Benchmarks
Ashes of the Singularity
Ashes of the Singularity is great for DX12 testing, as it can use all the cores on offer. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be doing that great here and we’ve heard in the industry of similar issues at 1080p. I don’t think that this is a problem with Ryzen, it should be better and we’ll revisit this score should any bugs be found that aren’t giving us the expected performance.
Cinebench R15
Now we’re talking, Ryzen is eager to stretch its legs at stock clocks. The chip automatically took its self up to 4.1GHz in the stock test using XFR, and while manually overclocked, it pulled ahead even further, giving many of the top-end Intel chips a thrashing given that the 1800X is around half the price.
Handbrake
The advantage of more cores for video rendering is clear, with the 1800X going toe-to-toe with the 7700K. We do think it can do better however, and we think that we know the problem, but we’ll get to that in our memory tests.
WPrime
WPrime is taxing on any CPU, and it certainly made the latest AMD chip sweat it out, but we still posted some mighty impressive numbers. Not only did it set a fantastic 32M time of 4.688 while overclocked, it also set one of our best 1024M times, mixing it with some of the Intel Extreme hardware, a result that AMD can be more than proud of.
WinRAR
Compression didn’t go too well, again we’re certain that this should be better, but for now it is what it is. Most likely a few bugs in the BIOS to be worked out; it can’t all be smooth sailing pre-launch.
Good job Intel at beating garbage AMD at damn near every test. And good job to the reviewers to act like there’s still a reason to buy AMD
These numbers didn’t look like this when Linus just did his review…
Yes it did. Ryzen hasnt beaten Intel in gaming for a single review yet.
I’ve actually seen multiple reviews and numbers were all over the place. In some it crushed Intel, in some it has been crushed, in some others they were trading blows.
Not a single relevant review has AMD ahead of Intel for gaming. Not a single one.
Are you actually reading the same reviews I’m reading?

Ken Kirby talking smack for nothing, like Intel or Ngreeedia have not had many similar problems. give time for optimizations and code to let Ryzen shine, then open your stupid mouth. if all we had was either Intel or Nv garbage, guess where performance and pricing be, in the toilet PERIOD.
Many sites are biased towards Intel and Nvidia, so will always show their numbers best bu subvertly adjusting things and not saying what they have done for many reasons, and in the same manner do on purpose to show AMD/Radeon in worst light, cause they are paid to do exactly that. live in a world where there is just 2 main companies, and the world is held back, remember that. At very least, this cause Intel and partners as well as Nvidia and partners to rush to address pricing and performance issues, dont be a tool!
if the AMD is gonna issue another better processor like hypothetically a 1900(X) with 12 cores, at less than $750 or 800 (pretty sure at a 75% expected price in case of lower clock), even for the people prone to Intel or Nvidia, won’t leave a relatively low marks on verdict.
wish AMD can issue a 12 core Ryzen like Intel. lawl.
My 6800K clocked at 4.1 MHz for a mere 1.199 V with absolute stability, and every reviewer complained that it was hot when it first came out. Now, the 1800x, clocked 4.1 MHz for 1.488 V, and none will be complaining, I suppose. Of course for haft the price of the 6900K, it’s a no brainer.
AMD and Intel totally different design so cannot and should not expect similar voltage, heat, power used, temperatures given etc.pretty sure you mean Ghz, not Mhz, cause if you really mean only 4.1Mhz that high of a voltage will blow them up :D..and no not all sites are reporting need that crazy amount of voltage, read elsewhere they could get 4.1 at 1.34-.137v rock solid, many sites seeing as they got the review samples often only days before could place said review up i.e very limited time to do so, which ends up being they rush through overclocking and benchmarks, in overclocking tests, if you do NOT take time to tune, and just brute force approach, sure you can get the higher speed, but that much extra voltage really limits performance and clocks you can achieve, cause it means more heat, more heat, less speed, and quicker things will break.
Funny how you said that yours only needed 1.199v for 4.1″Ghz” when every review I have just looked at showed that exact processor needing in the range of 3.65-1.477 volts AND the actually power consumed in watts and heat given off when clocked past the 4Ghz range starts to skyrocket, so, its a wash as far as “old” vs “new” Intel vs AMD, all the modern intel chips unless clocked high from the factory really really start to suck back power and get so much hotter when clock speeds are pushed up, this is not me saying such, this is 100s if not thousands of reviews to back it up, they are efficient if left at “stock” but, power(watts and volts) go up as the speed goes up, dramatically once a certain amount is reached.
Could be you got a 99% better then any other 6800k ever released, could be it was like this for awhile with not a true 100% stability, it could be you are lying through your teeth for nothing but trolling.
No, It’s a true 100% stability. The initial voltage is a mere 1.194 V, and it survived a 16 minutes CPU-Z stress test. I also used the 1.194 V setting to browse the web and watched YouTube all day without any issue. But, when I tried to export a photo of 611 MB from Adobe Lightroom, Windows crashed, Adobe Lightroom is a very power-hungry application, more so than gaming. With the 1.199 V setting, I ‘played with Lightroom for several days’ without any issue. So, 1.199 V is definitely 100% stable. But, 4 GHz @ 1.168 V is my prefer setting, as it consumes on average 10 w less, and my second favourite profile is of course the 1.199 V setting.
you didn’t just win the silicon lottery, you won the silicon jackpot.
Eteknix, why is my comment being deleted? Please can somebody ( a mod ) respond?
100mhz OC = 12fps gain.. legiiiiiit

So your telling me my $490 7700k is close to a $685 1800x ? I feel good mate
