Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...
Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...
Abstract: AMD hadn't just announced a new processor architecture, but the dawning of a new manufacturing process in which the chips would be based on, 14nm which was a first for AMD. Not only was their new 14nm FinFET process to be more energy efficient, but would...
Unlocked ratio multiplier, Lowcost eight core, 65W TDP, Bundled cooler
Lower stock performance than other Ryzen 7 models, Lower game performance than Intel processors, Poorly optimized software ecosystem
The 1700 performs well in heavily threaded workloads, but lags behind Intel's quad cores in most gaming scenarios. However, the Ryzen 7 1700 also offers the lowest entry-level price point for a modern eight-core processor and features enough overclock...

The Ryzen 7 1700 is really what I was hoping for from the first octa-core Zen-based chips. It's around the same price as Intel's eight-threaded quad-core i7 7700K, if a little cheaper, and runs rings around it from a straight CPU performance point of view...

Excellent multi-threaded performance that is vastly superior to that of the Core i7-7700K, Competitive performance against Intel processors three times its price, Up to 3.75GHz XFR frequency helps single-threaded performance, Unlocked CPU multiplier and o
Gaming performance is not best suited for ultra-high refresh rates and trails i7-7700K levels (outside of GPU-limited scenarios), Lower memory frequency support compared to Kaby Lake
AMD's Ryzen 7 1700 is perhaps the most interesting chip in the line-up due to its lower price than the 1700X and 1800X, which were superb value in their own right. A new level of multi-threaded performance has been delivered at a £330 price point where In...
