AMD has just announced its new line of chips called the Ryzen 7 with performance benchmarks touting to match those of rival Intel’s at a more affordable price.
AMD has specifically designed the new Ryzen 7 processors for PC gamers, creators, and enthusiasts with 8-cores, 16-threads, and the new AM4 desktop platform, with two of its new chips bagging ‘highest-performing octa-core processor’ and ‘world’s lowest power octa-core processor’ for its 1800X and 1700 models, respectively. The new line of chips also bears new 8-core silicon design that runs 4.8 billion transistors and features 200m of wiring.
The company has also touted its new flagship 1800X chip ‘outperforming a similarly configured 8-core, 16-thread Intel Core i7-6900K in Cinebench R15 multi-threaded and Handbrake-based video transcoding, as well as showing comparable 4K gaming performance.’
The Ryzen 7 will initially be available in three models bearing eight cores and sixteen threads, and is now up for pre-order in select markets today with prices and specifications as follows:
| PRODUCT LINE | MODEL | BASE CLOCK (GHZ) | BOOST CLOCK (GHZ) | TDP (WATTS) | INCLUDED COOLER | SUGGESTED PRICE |

Ang magal kung mga nasa 10 k lang kaya sana … laki nang pataong niyo
nice job amd
Grabe yung price pagdating dito sa pinas. Balak kopa naman bumili pero parang mas mahal pa sa intel.
gusto ko lng un wraith spire coolor, Haaha
So much for being a cheaper alternative to Intel. They should fix the blasted stupid PH tax system.
Sobrang taga naman sa local prices. They should be priced more competitively, kasi NEVER binababa ng local resellers sa SRP ang presyo nila. Unlike sa US na you can get them for up to 50$ less than SRP.
Good job amd.
