AMD has announced the first three desktop CPUs in its new Ryzen line, the Ryzen 7 1800X, Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700. These are the first commercial products based on the Zen architecture which AMD has been working on for four years in an effort to become competitive with Intel in the high-end PC space again.
At
a press preview in San Francisco, company President and CEO Lisa Su
announced that AMD has exceeded its stated goal of pushing 40 percent
more instructions per clock with Zen compared to the previous Excavator
architecture, and in fact has managed to achieve a 52 percent increase.
All
three Ryzen 7 models have eight cores and support 16 threads. They are
manufactured on a 14nm process. At the top of the lineup is the Ryzen 7
1800X, which has a base clock speed of 3.6GHz and a boost clock of 4GHz.
AMD says this is the fastest 8-core processor available in the market
right now. The Ryzen 7 1700X has base and boost speeds of 3.4GHz and
3.8GHz respectively, while the Ryzen 7 1700 runs at 3GHz and 3.7GHz
respectively. The 1800X and 1700X have 95W TDP ratings while the 1700 is
a 65W part.
