AMD Ryzen, Intel’s prime competitor in gaming market

New benchmarks show how competitive AMD has become by the new releases of CPU line “The Ryzen”

 

AMD Released Amd Threadripper series and Ryzen 5 Desktop Processors for Gamers and Creators, claimed it is the Market’s Highest-Performance 6-Core Processor

AMD and the new Ryzen

AMD is trying to enter the whole market with its new platform “The Ryzen”.  AMD is releasing Ryzen CPUs both in entry level market by 4 cores CPUs like AMD RYZEN 5 and high-end market like Threadripper series that goes up to 16 cores.  It is hard to believe that AMD is becoming competitive in high end market because in the past inlet has been the dominating one without a real rival in that market. Now AMD is coming back strong.

AMD’s 16 core, 32 thread Ryzen Threadripper 1950X is finally here to seize the throne for high end desktop processors. & Intel’s core i9-7900X, from the Skylake-X series, is Intel’s latest 10-core, 20-thread flagship processor. It’s the first to bear the i9 moniker and utilize the new X299 (Basin Falls) chipset/motherboard.

 

AMD has also shown some strength in mid-range market with Ryzen 7 1800X challenging the popular CPUs from intel Core i7-7700K & Intel Core i7-6900K. One of the Specs AMD has always been working on to beat Intel in processing is increasing the multicore power by increasing the number of CPU cores. It usually works in desktop applications while working on different apps but not that effective in gaming performance. Amd is still doing that but One more thing AMD has accomplished in the new Ryzen platform is efficiency of information latency. AMD has made CPUs that get smart while working with you. They tend to keep in mind what you do to avoid reloading and reprocessing data. AMD has claimed that It has improved the AMD CPU speed by about 40%.

The Ryzen Platform

Well for the people familiar with how a whole platform works its clear that AMD has been planning this for years. This is not a 6 month project and a one night announcement to show off. Ryzen is a big deal and now after about 6 month that it has been released its getting more serious. AMD’s high-performance x86 Core “Zen” architecture Is the basis of the whole Ryzen Platform. As Amd claimed it delivers >52% improvement in instructions-per-clock cycle over the previous generation AMD core, without increasing power. It started with introducing one mother board cheap and 3 CPUs  and now AMD has just released AMD Ryzen 5 for high performance gaming and also released the Ryzen Threadripper series witch is the higher and advanced level of the Ryzen platform. Threadripper Goes From 8 to 16 cores, Up to 32 processing threads From 20MB to 40MB  of cache and AMD says you can afford it. All this shows that AMD is ALL-In by Ryzen.

Eight cores and 16 threads for under $500 means that they’re Very strong across a wide range of workloads and very cheap for what they stand for. Finally, an architecture that can compete But not in gaming. AMD promised a substantial improvement in instructions per cycle (IPC), and the expectation was that Ryzen would be within striking distance of Intel’s Broadwell core. Now Broadwell is old and came in September 2014. Intel’s high-core-count processors, both the High End Desktop parts, with six, eight, or 10 cores, and the various Xeon processors for multisocket servers, are all still using Broadwell cores. Nobody should have expected Ryzen to be a dangerous rival in gaming. Now Intel’s Skylake and Kaby Lake parts both beat Broadwell in a wide range of games.

Do not misinterpret this, Ryzen is a very strong CPU series for gaming. But at the same time it is interesting that Skylake and Kaby Lake are both limited to four cores and eight threads but for many or most games, high IPC and high clock speeds are the key to top performance, and that’s precisely what Kaby Lake delivers. While AMD is as always delivering tremendous multi-core experience specially with the 16 cores Threadripper, but still lacking the clock speed in single CPU performance to become number one in gaming.
