AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Is Killing Intel Processors And Possibly, More So Once It Releases

AMD Ryzen 7 series is just a few more days away from getting released to the public and Intel processors have started to appear less superior after a couple of tests and benchmark results surfaced on the internet.

The hype for AMD's latest processor is about to reach its peak with the release of its Ryzen 7 variants this coming March. In fact, several motherboard manufacturers are already gearing up to make their products available for the upcoming processor and apparently, this isn't sounding too good for Intel's currently available options.

Take PC World's updated benchmark results report for instance, where the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X have already slightly surpassed Intel's i7-600K. Utilizing the well-known CineBench benchmarking software, the Ryzen 7 1700X performed almost the same and somewhat even better on some respects with Intel's currently most effective processor. However, the prices killed it when the fact that the AMD options are less than half the price of Intel's $1,089 processor.

On top of this, the Ryzen 7 1800X is even better than the 1700X and easily beating Intel's eight-core CPU by getting a CineBench score of 1,601. It could possibly be debatable whether the results are real to go by, but CineBench creator, Maxon, claims that the software makes no biased results and it even utilizes an Intel compiler for Windows.

Based on a recent post at Tom's Hardware, several consumers are still skeptical about making the "leap of faith" to the former "cheap" alternative to a performance gaming experience, but as indicated by a number of manufacturers like Asrock, Gigabyte, and MSI, who decided to prep for the Ryzen 7 processors, there's a little bit of confidence boost to consider as a factor in getting it.

AMD Ryzen 7 variants have started making its presence on several online retail outlets like Amazon and since it has been made available for pre-order yesterday, its presence could become more prominent in the coming days. This could especially be the case after the fact that the Ryzen 7 1800X is only $499 on Amazon, which is still way more affordable than some of Intel's best.
