It's $469 pickup everywhere. So saving 2% and having it delivered is okay, but hardly 'deal' worthy.
Would be better to wait till tomorrow.
That seems too expensive. AMD are getting better but the 8700k seems better all round (marginally slower in some productivy benchmarks, faster in most games, significantly faster in a couple of productivity benchmarks) it's just more all rounded.
If I were gonna have an AMD, the 2600 or 1600 as cheap as humanly possible.
I thought since the 2700x also comes with a cooler makes it pretty good value compared to the 8700k.
Also I thought the 8700k is a dead end due to z370?
Nothing wrong with z370.
I am pretty sure that I've seen some quite good 8700k deals recently.
They also run cooler and use less power.I'm all for supporting AMD but only if the product is outright superior / cheaper / faster / or some beneficial combination.
I saw on JayzTwoCents that the 8700k runs pretty hot and liquid cooling is needed.
@jerum3030: It does run warm to be fair, but it's lower power and (I thought?) lower heat than AMD (or at least the 2700, since that thing, is mostly just an overclocked 1700)
@hamwhisperer: It's not an overclocked 1700, the processor is made on a completely different manufacturing process that allows for more power efficiency, so you'd expect the same temperatures as the 1700 even while running at higher clock speeds.
@ccsvchost: no it's mildly tweaked and runs significantly hotter at stock than the last series.
Why? Because stock frequencies are now higher as default. IE: overclock last series with minor silicon revisions.
@hamwhisperer: Gamers Nexus ran tests getting 1.16V on the 2700X vs 1.41 on the 1700 @ 4GHz. Temps were 57.8 degrees and 76.5 respectively. Same story with stock clocks, lower voltage & temps. Pretty much adding to what ccsvchost said but I do agree it's not a mindblowing improvement.
Edit: Not mindblowing clock wise, I unrealistically hoped for 4.5 GHz OC. I'd be all over it if it were the case :c
The boost works better than the 1700 too, it is able to boost on all cores simultaneously, and maintains that boost as long as the cooling can support it: https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/11/27/a…
In terms of overall performance not saying this makes a huge difference, but that feature certainly is there.
Why the downvote, seems true?
Intel Core i7-8700K vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Userbenchmark Effective CPU Speed: 110% vs 100%
Intel Core i7-8700K - 6th / 1100
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X - 12th / 1100People love AMD. I refuse to blindly support them, unless they outright win or are cheaper (significantly) or both.
I owned Duron, Thunderbird, Athlon 64 (I think?) and Opteron 165, all great CPUs from them.
The 1600 and 2600 is my current fave AMD but it's still not quite a super bargain, it's not a bad choice at all, but drop $50 AUD off it? ok insane not to buy.
Not much data in there yet, check out the decent hardware review sites. Also look at the multicore comparison on that page…
8700k and 2700x are neck-and-neck for gaming performance, then the 2700x just wrecks it in terms of multicore performance.
The 2700 represents a value buy for anyone who does more than just game on their PC and wants performance when they do.
For people who want to stream while they game on a single machine, the Ryzen 2700s is basically the only choice in the standard consumer space.
8700K is great if you want to push 244hz @ 1080P but you will find most people with top end hardware that more will be gaming at higher resolutions which then CPU becomes less of a bottleneck.
Save yourself $35-50, grab the 2700, and set up your own overclock.
Even better just buy the 2600x - no overclock.
just let it run - at under 300 its an all rounder. Don't bother if you got a 1600x though -wait for the next chip.
Exactly my thoughts last year - no point paying another $120 for additional 2c/4t, that blows the cost per core way out of proportion vs 1600.
