Amd in no rush to launch the ryzen 7 2800x
Table of contents:
Many enthusiastic users will have noticed that at the launch of the second generation Ryzen processors (2000 series), the Ryzen 7 2800X variant was not part of the starting grid. Jim Anderson, AMD Senior Vice President, has an answer to this decision.
AMD in no rush to launch Ryzen 7 2800X, believes 2700X is enough
Anderson has hinted that AMD may release the Ryzen 7 2800X processor at a later date. The main reason for the change is that the current Ryzen 7 2700X and 2700 models already cover the performance and price ranges. Therefore, AMD does not see the need to launch a more powerful model at this time.
The thing is, the Ryzen 7 2700X processor lives up to an i7-8700K on tasks that require lots of threading (multi- threading), while reducing the gap on single-threaded workloads. Although Intel still has the edge when it comes to gaming performance, the difference in performance is small and gets even smaller as you move up the resolution scale.
What is being speculated at the moment, is that AMD expects a response from Intel for the 2700X, and based on that move, it launches the expected Ryzen 7 2800X as a 'lethal' counterattack.
As of yet, we are unaware using the 2800X landed, but it seems that AMD is in no rush, and with good reason.
