多么多的旅程。炒作火车似乎已经打磨了一年多了，现在目的地终于到达了。在本文中，我们将研究AMD的新旗舰Ryzen CPU关于R7 1800X的不同评论者，并将其与英特尔的内容进行比较i7-6900k必须提供。

The Architecture

Ryzen CPU基于Zen，这是一个绝对新的CPU微观建筑，并在著名的CPU专家Jim Keller的帮助下从头开始建造。AMD的前两代CPU，推土机和挖掘机努力与英特尔的最新产品竞争，因此AMD决定从头开始。除了支持四通道内存外，这有助于将所有重要的现代功能实施到ZEN体系结构中。

AMD cpu Ryzen现在同时multithreading, which is the equivalent to Intel’s hyperthreading. Plus, all of the processors will be overclockable. The CPU stack starts with 8 cores 16 threads and goes all the way down to 4 cores, but there won’t be any dual core Ryzen chips due to the inherent design of the silicon. The recently launched1800X,1700x和1700所有人都有8个核心和16个线程，使它们与英特尔的Broadwell-E系列处理器直接竞争。

The Hype Train

释放Ryzen前,设置了AMDe bar very high. Compared to their previous architectures, they promised at least a 40% increase in instructions per clock performance, but managed to raise the bar up to 52%. AMD promised similar or higher performance than Intel’si7-6900kfor half the price with the R71800X，互联网很快就锁定了。大量泄漏正在迅速扩散，其中一些甚至不正确。可悲的是，大多数预期的AMD产品似乎就是这种情况，在这种产品中，炒作（尤其是在互联网上）并不能辜负现实。

现实

With the embargo lifted on the 2nd of March, reviews hit the web. Unfortunately, due to a sequence of certain events reviewers didn’t get a few weeks to review the product. Media outlets were lucky to get the Ryzen bundle a week before the embargo, but even then the process of reviewing was riddled with problems. Just like with the launch of Intel’s X99 platform, there are serious early adopters’ problems with Ryzen. Due to the fact that AMD finished the microcode for the CPU only three weeks before release, the motherboard manufacturers had very little time to prepare BIOSes for their motherboards. This led to multiple problems with XMP profiles, XFR (extended frequency range), CPU overclocking, temperature monitoring and possible other, undiscovered things.

表演

尽管发射不完美，但Ryzen 71800X, retailing at $499, is able to compete with Intel’s $1,000 i7-6900K. With all the problems currently plaguing the AM4 platform it is unfortunately very hard to properly overclock Ryzen CPUs, which led to multiple reviewers having serious difficulties with reaching clockspeeds higher than 4.1 Ghz, if that. Meanwhile, the i7-6900K overclocks to around 4.3-4.4 Ghz, which usually brings its performance above that of the 1800X.

Ryzen 7 1800X的值在于多线程工作负载，例如Excel，Handbrake，Adobe Premiere以及After Effects或其他应用程序。可以在tomshardware.com和pcper.comreviews of the 1800X. (Also keep an eye on theLevel1TechsYouTube channel).

重要的是要注意，由于英特尔是过去十年中的主要CPU制造商，因此通常对英特尔的微体系结构进行了专门优化。更新可以改善我们使用Ryzen看到的一些性能，但是永远不会保证会发生。某些应用程序，例如Adobe Creative Cloud的某些部分，例如Illustrator，更喜欢Intel提供的更高的时钟速度，而不是AMD的更多核心。我认为许多人会在游戏设置中使用此处理器，因为它以不错的价格提供了他们追求的速度。许多公司开始研究云游戏的可能性，云游戏的可能性可以玩游戏，而无需将它们下载到某人的计算机上，从而使玩新游戏比以往任何时候都更快！有些人在考虑某些游戏的微侵蚀剂时担心云系统的安全性，因为云服务器可能更容易包含犯罪恶意软件，从而冒着数据丢失的风险。也许来自www.thefinalstep.co.uk/需要保护其用户免受数据丢失的影响。

It is important to consider which applications take advantage of higher clockspeeds to know which specific CPU to buy, but in general, the R7 1800X is on par or close enough to the i7-6900K in multithreaded applications, which is quite remarkable considering the significantly cheaper price of the 1800X.

游戏

The gaming performance of the R7 1800X got some serious attention as well. Reviewers compared the performance of the chip to both the Intel i7-6900K and7700K, though the former is its real competitor. AMD talked a lot about how the gaming performance of their new flagship CPU will be similar to or higher than that of the competing Intel processor (for instance the R7 1800X vs. the i7-6900K), but showed games running incomparable benchmarks at 4K resolution, where there is often a GPU bottleneck even with a Titan X.

游戏者和HardwareUnboxed did an amazing amount of work comparing the performance of these new AMD CPUs with Intel processors in games, and they came to a conclusion that the performance of the 1800X is not quite what they were expecting. In a more general view, the performance of AMD’s new flagship goes from very poor to very competitive from game to game, which means there are serious optimization issues on multiple levels.

Steve from GamersNexus went as far as naming their R7 1800X articleAMD Ryzen R7 1800X评论：游戏中的i5，i7生产, being very critical about the processor in general. In reality, the overall performance in games at the moment is fluctuating from game to game, with Windows 10 having problems working well with Ryzen CPUs. AMD’s new processors still perform well enough to not hinder gaming performance and in general the difference for non-professional gamers will be indistinguishable. The real benefit of these CPUs doesn’t lie in gaming, but they are still very much capable.

由于Microsoft没有优化Windows Scheduler，Ryzen的游戏性能必将随着下一个Windows更新而改进。Linux的驱动程序已经出去。

结论

The wait has indeed been long. Every new architecture has serious problems at launch, as was the case with the X99 platform, for instance. Ryzen didn’t manage to avoid these problems, so many early adopters of the new technology may encounter serious issues with the platform, with motherboards hopefully receiving many BIOS updates in the coming months, cooler manufacturers adjusting their bracket compatibility (Jay from JayzTwoCents had someserious problems例如，他的Ryzen构建）当然，开发人员为游戏和应用程序发布补丁，以利用Ryzen CPU所提供的所有性能。

The Ryzen 7 1800X is a great CPU for content creation, with a very high performance/dollar ratio in multithreaded applications. In Intel-specific, single-threaded or unoptimized applications that ratio is lower, but for the price you’re still getting a very decent processor, even when ignoring the incoming performance improvements during the next months.

对于竞争性游戏而言，特别是您最好获得Intel Kaby Lake或Skylake处理器，因为大多数游戏仍然依赖时钟依赖性。最近的一些游戏能够使用8个核心16线程处理器的所有16个线程，但不幸的是，我们仍然可以在PC游戏中适当利用更高的核心计数CPU。

我们建议您避免使用1800倍的游戏，直到发布和早期采用者问题解决，希望在几个月内发生。在此期间，隐藏的问题也可能出现和/或解决。如果您确实需要一个8 Core 16线程处理器来创建内容和多线程用途，那么Ryzen 7 1800X和X370主板的价格/性能比仍然比Intel I7-6900K和X99主板要好得多。因此，很明显，对于内容创建者来说，1800X是更好的选择。

总结：

For gaming:我们建议您了解AM4平台可能出现的问题，并权衡下钟8 Core 16线程处理器的好处，而不是芯层较少但更高的时钟速度。i7-7700k仍然是最好的游戏CPU，也是i5-7600Kis probably the best value gaming CPU. The i7-6900K is also still ~10% better for gaming vs. the 1800X, but that will hopefully improve in the coming months.

For content creation and workstations:The $500 1800X simply beats the $1,000 i7-6900K in terms of value for multithreaded applications. It goes toe-to-toe in multithreaded programs and still performs well in single-threaded programs.
