Looking for a quad-core processor that can easily overclock, and has an attractive price tag? You do not need to look any further, because the AMD Ryzen R5 1500X is the right one for you. The Boost frequency will climb to 3.7 GHz, but will be able to translate into overclocking even at 4 GHz.
With a massive increase in performance , there is a shift to a completely new architecture, and a refined production process (14nm FinFET). This allows you to enjoy much faster rendering of videos, encryption of discs, and ultimately boosting FPS in all genre games. We have to admit that, according to tests, the Ryzen processors have little reserves in this area. AMD knows about them and works intensively with game developers for the necessary repairs.
Technological improvement is the massive use of SMT technology, which is basically well-known MultiThreading. This is the support of two computational threads per core.
The new lineup of AMD Ryzen processors is firmly connected to the brand new AM4 . It is quite clear that, besides the processor itself, you also need a new motherboard, and possibly DDR4 memory. However, this undoubtedly large financial investment pays off in the form of integration of a whole range of modern technologies. From a long list, we will switch USB 3.1 (USB-C), PCIe 3.0, NVMe, 32Gb / s M.2 slots, SATA Express, and, of course, the support of multiple graphics cards in CrossFire mode will not be missed.
Finally, we have a good message for the owners of the older Windows 7 operating system. The manufacturer does not guarantee technical support, but the processor will be functional in this system as well.
