The headline results for the new processors are that they offer more performance than AMD’s first generation of Ryzen, use the same socket, are offered at similar prices, are competitive with the competition, and come bundled with some nice coolers. While the new Ryzen 2000-series processors are not enough to cause anyone that has already invested in Ryzen 1000-series to upgrade, AMD is offering a very attractive proposition to anyone two-to-three generations (or more) behind to upgrade into a high performance system.
AMD’s strong run in processors continues.
Thom, did you build a machine based on Ryzen APU like you wrote here http://www.osnews.com/story/30059/AMD_s_Ryzen_CPU_with_Vega_graphic… ? If yes, what are your impressions?
(asking because I’m thinking of getting a PC with a Ryzen APU; or maybe I’ll wait for 2nd gen Ryzen based ones…)
