Quote

AMD recently cut the price of its current flagship desktop processor Ryzen 7 1800X from its USD $499 launch price to $469. At the time, it left prices of the Ryzen 7 1700 and Ryzen 7 1700X untouched. It looks like the two received small price-cuts as well. The Ryzen 7 1700X is now priced at $349 in leading online stores, down from its launch price of $399. The Ryzen 7 1700 (non-X), on the other hand, is now selling for $319, down from its launch price of $329.

Good stuff. A $50 price cut for the 1700X makes it a really good competitor to the 7700K (price wise) and the 1700 is now $10 cheaper as well. Not much, but still nice. Lowers the barrier to 8-core goodness just a bit more. Now with the top-dog 1800X at $469 AMD has a really solid line-up, though the 1800X could still be cheaper to better fit in with the other two.

Ye ole' train

Well. Now we just have to wait for Ryzen 3 and all reasons to get an i5 will be gone :P

Poor me I got few months ago i jumped from A8-3870K to i5 6600K :(

Still a worthwhile upgrade. I'm just sad that there aren't any AM4 STX boards.

If demand comes, they will build it.

That's a decent enough upgrade I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

I could wait for R5 1600 so I didn't have to get VM server :|

The one true purchase is the 1700 anyway :P best value, great performance. The very small chance of a better overclock is not worth the premium you pay for X variants. They have been down to £289 for awhile here so I wonder if we got the drop too. If so then in the UK the 1700 would be priced near to the 7600k which absolutely kills the i5.

Not for the people who simply don't like/want overclocking who don't mind paying the premium for a better chip out of the box.

How is the 1700 worse out of the box? Boosts to 3.7?

I'm more excited for the APUs than plain old R3.

Ryzen single CCX + Vega will be lovely! It's also so small!

Wait a sec, that's a BGA package for it? That's adorably small, I want one for a keychain.

Yeah, they showed off the new mobile APU. It's coming to a new Asus Zenbook.

It's also 4c8t, since it's single CCX will also not having the latency issues of it's bigger brothers.

If the R3 CPU are like this (aka only a single CCX enabled) then they should, in theory, perform better than R5 CPUs in gaming due to the lack of latency issues.. Right?

Good, now do it for the R5 series and the upcoming R3 series.

Aye, not by much though.

Launch month tests showed anything from 2-8% difference, but with BIOS updates, and game patches it's been reduced a lot. Still there though.

So honestly getting a desktop APU and clocking that sucker to 4Ghz will probably be a smidge faster than the lakes of the 1500X at similar clocks. Possibly more, given the latency is also linked to memory speed.

So it only has single channel memory?

I'm pretty sure it's been said that the R3 would be the same dual CCX design as the R5/R7. A single CCX die would also only a support single channel of RAM.

Can't wait to see what Vega's capable of though. Unlike everyone else I think that them taking their time is allowing them to fix some small issues they may have with drivers and such.

It'd make a lot more sense if only a single CCX was enabled, but eh.
