The real benches are out today.
It is not as great as the leaks made it out to be, but it is good enough to give some hope to the prospect of having two companies competing for the top spot again. With that in mind, I take back the mean things I said about you, Intel. | ||

That's dolphin benchmark (wii/GameCube) which is good indicator of single core speed. Not as bad as they use to be. Skylake/Kaby still better less you video edit or photoshop or VMware where you actually need cores. | ||

I looked at the benchmark reviews and the gaming performance is pretty meh. Still, AMD has put out a great chip here. Ryzen will be extremely competitive with Intel CPUs for workstations, data processing, and rendering - AKA where all the money and marketshare is for selling CPUs. PC gaming is and always was a tiny and niche market, and Intel CPUs will remain the leader there.

Great 3 page review with LOTS of benchmarks. So, keep in mind that the new Ryzen is actually 8 core with 16 threads, unlike Vishara and Bulldozer which were both 8 core/8 threads. From what I see, where it matters the Ryzen is pretty bad ass. I especially like the Handbreak results. It's pretty awesome. But, on my 5820k if I OC to 4GHz, it saves about 12 seconds on every minute it encodes a x264 video file. (MKV to MP4) In short that's a 2 minute savings on a normal 10 minute encode. Enjoy and I am happy to see AMD kick it up a notch.

Ryzen is looking pretty decent overall. Around Broadwell-E levels of IPC in single threaded workloads, and obviously, really great in heavily threaded workloads (being an 8c/16t chip and all). I'm sure we'll see some improvements over the next few months/year with a new stepping of the CPU.
Several gaming benchmarks are showing as much as a 30% INCREASE in performance with SMT disabled; this reminds me a lot of the early days of Intel's HyperThreading. I remember back in 2009 disabling HT on my i7 920 to get higher frames in many games. My largest disappointment has to be the lack of overclocking potential. They all (1700/1700x/1800x) seem to top out around 3.9/4.0GHz. This makes the base-line R7 1700 look like the most appealing offering as they seem to clock just as high (3.8-4.0GHz) despite their 65w TDP. Damn shame they don't clock up to 4.5GHz or so! Thinkin' I may build an R5 1600x rig when they release in a couple months. AMD has stated a sub-$300 pricetag (I've heard the $249.99 number thrown around) and with 2 fewer cores enabled there's a good chance they'll be able to clock up around 4.2GHz. A 6core/12thread Ryzen CPU for $250 would be a really good fuckin' deal. At the VERY LEAST Ryzen should force Intel to stop charging their $100+ premium just for basic HyperThreading. I feel like 4core/4thread CPUs are reaching their limit in modern games. My 4690k, overclocked @ 4.4GHz, hits 96%+ usage on all 4 cores in several games -- BF4, BF1, Overwatch. | ||

The Dolphin emu stuff is interesting.
Not sure what clockspeeds each CPU was running at -- the 1700x would definitely be higher if it was able to clock higher, unfortunately. | ||
