If the full Ryzen lineup was here, we could have reviewers more comfortably doing x99 vs R7 comparison, and then gaming chips vs Kaby Lake, etc. At the same time, a CPU like the 1800x is aimed at heavier workloads, something Intel reserves to the x99 platform. Hence, this CPUs fit in a socket that will later also accommodate more gaming-oriented chips. The other, more random part of the reason is that they don't really know where to place it because intel logic Intel has been trying to milk the market as much as they can by segmenting it into two platforms, while AMD will use a unified one. Unfortunately, doing this can be misleading to many people, the same way doing Xeon reviews comparing their gaming performance to a 7700K, or benching a Quadro in games, would be misleading, and you'll see examples of this in this forum as well. My opinion is that they shouldn't review something like the 1800x if their interest is gaming, but if they do, they may provide the performance of the top gaming CPU as a reference. The reasonable part is that many of those reviewers are focused on gaming only. The reason why you will see many reviewers doing such comparisons is twofold, one part reasonable, one part absurd. I could understand it if that was the closest intel has to an 1800x, or the 1800x was the closest AMD has to a 7700K, but that isn't true either. Their core count is completely different. OP: the answer is no, you probably shouldn't compare them. Luckily, there are also more sensible views, like the one you express here. Unfortunately, yes, many said it in this same forum, and the flame wars go on and on. Jay did not compare it to the 6900K or the 7700K, nobody said that Ryzen sucks for games. Some of this may be improved via software and firmware updates some may see improvement in the Zen2 and future Zen revisions. It allows AMD to scale their processors a lot easier and will probably make their APU design and implementation a lot easier, however, they are definitely running into an issue in the Multi-CCX situation, where there is a degradation on performance on threads handed off between CCXes and one where threads are having to access 元 cache across CCX complexes. My personal opinion is that the Infinity Fabric is a big plus for AMD but also has a downside. As for the CCX, I'm not too sure it is an issue with the actual design of the Core Complexes so much as an issue with the cross communication between these complexes on the Infinity Fabric. These things always have issues which is why it is usually good to wait at least 6 months from launch prior to looking into benchmarks and purchasing of a new processor. and 48: $899 ($180 FOR TYPE COVER) | In AMDs case you are seeing not just a new chipset but also a new micro-architecture, new for AMD 14nm process, and new design/layout.and 42: SUBSCRIBE & GET APC FROM ONLY $5.33.
