If you haven't spent all of your money on fireworks, beer, and burgers, then check out TigerDirect's sale on AMD's fastest Ryzen processor currently available. It can be yours for $400.The deal is good through the end of tomorrow (July 4) or while...

Our results show that the i7s AMD is targeting with Ryzen 7 are potentially longer-lasting for gaming - a key factor in any CPU purchase - but in the here and now, it's abundantly clear that Ryzen still does the job. Clearly PCs are used for more than just gaming, so if play is just one part of your requirement from a processor, Ryzen's undoubted capabilities elsewhere may make it the more logical choice than an i7 - and at these prices, the Ryzen 7 line's excellent overall performance simply cannot be ignored.

For the last decade, every Intel processor review used the previous generation Intel processor as the primary point of reference, because AMD couldn't compete. With Ryzen, all of that changes. The Ryzen 7 1800X isn't the second coming of the Athlon 64,...

We would recommend Ryzen 7 1800X for desktop and heavy workloads, such as rendering and workstation applications, but it isn’t as competitive with a diverse range of game titles. Ryzen sets a low pricing bar, and the addition of the new Zen microarchitecture and SMT yield an impressive performance improvement over AMD’s previous generation products.

The bottom line is that the Ryzen 7 1800X makes the most sense for users that need more than a CPU for gaming, those who are considered “prosumers.” The performance for multicore applications is impressive for its $499 price tag, which increases accessibility for those who need more power for video production and image rendering.

The day many of you have been waiting for is finally here: AMD Zen (Ryzen) processors are shipping! Thanks to AMD coming around at the last minute, I received a Ryzen 7 1800X yesterday evening and have been putting it through its paces. Here is my...

Many things in life are best done quickly. Tearing out a bandage, asking somebody out you had a crush on for a while, etc. but buying a high-end CPU is not one of them. Buying a high-end CPU is an investment with expectations that it will run for many...

From start to finish the Ryzen 7 1800X was a revelation and you can't begin to understand how happy it makes us.This isn't an AMD processor that you have to find the good points of. This isn't an incrementally better one which requires some give and...

At launch we already see quite a few nice motherboards on the market, including the GIGABYTE AX370-GAMING 5 used here. Over 80 motherboards are available as of today for the AM4 platform, don't forget these will also support the upcoming Ryzen-based...

It's been a long time coming, but AMD Ryzen is here and it looks impressive. Though we only have the Ryzen 7 1800X in our results today I am eager to get back home and get to testing the 1700X and 1700 models and see if they offer as compelling of an...

For those craving some Linux gaming benchmarks from the newly-released AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor, here are some test results. In this initial comparison are benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 1800K to Core i7 7700K when running these processors at stock speeds...

Intel has enjoyed relatively unchallenged occupancy of the enthusiast CPU market for several years now. If you mark the FX-8350 as the last major play prior to subsequent refreshes, that marks the last major AMD CPU launch as 2012. Of course, later...
