Amd ryzen 7 1800x review in Spanish (complete analysis)

The new AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is the new top of the range of the Sunnyvale firm and promises to make the existence of the Intel Core i7 Broadwell-E and the X299 platform bitter, all the data shown so far put the new processor of the reds above of the powerful Intel Core i7-6900K and for a price of about half. The moment of truth has arrived, let's see if the new Zen microarchitecture is up to all the hype that has been generated so far.

First of all we thank AMD for the trust they placed in giving us a sample of the Ryzen 7 1800X for analysis.

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X technical features

Unboxing and design: The brand new top of the range

Luxury presentation! How nice that wooden box! Although the important thing is inside the cardboard box, which as we saw with the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 has the Ryzen logo located in the center.

While in the lower right corner we have a 7, which indicates the range of processor that we have in hand.

Once we open the box we find:

AMD has sent us the Ryzen 7 1800X processor for analysis along with one of the new ones from Noctua. Although we would have liked it to incorporate one of its new Wraith heatsinks, this cooler has the capacity to handle a TDP of up to 125W so you should have no problem keeping the temperatures of a model of only 95W under control.

Close-up of AMD's new processor:

The first thing we see is that, unlike Intel, the pins are still integrated into the processor and not the motherboard. Many users claim that this approach is better and the truth is that in previous generations the pins of the AMD processors were much more resistant than those of the Intel motherboards. Despite this, the new AMD platform has greatly increased the number of pins so these are thinner and weaker than in previous generations. These new processors include no less than 1, 331 pins, far more than the 940 pins of previous Bulldozer-based AMD FX.

At the top of the chip we see the IHS on which the "Ryzen" logo has been screen printed.

We are already focused on more technical details, the Ryzen 7 1800X processor is based on the new Zen microarchitecture, a design that has been created from scratch in order to offer a much more competitive product in all levels than previous AMD FX. AMD Ryzen promise more performance, more threads, less power, and less heat generation.

This new microarchitecture is built using Global Foundries' 14nm FinFET node, manages to integrate a whopping 4.8 billion transistors and offers 52% higher performance per core and MHz than previous Excavator cores from Bristol Ridge APUs. With these figures, the new microarchitecture stands above Intel Broadwell and more or less on par with Slylake. This improvement represents the largest jump in CPU performance seen in the last 6 years or even more. AMD Ryzen marks the start of a new multi-year roadmap that will include markets as varied as workstations, mobile equipment and the HPC sector.

AMD Ryzen die picture:

AMD Ryzen uses a DDR4 compatible integrated memory controller (IMC) in dual channel configuration for a faster access speed to stored data, it officially supports memories of up to 2, 400 MHz although thanks to AMP technology we will be able to use much faster modules of 4, 000 MHz.

In the case of the AMD Ryzen R7 1800X we have a silicon consisting of a total of 8 cores, these have Simultaneous multithreading SMT technology that allows each core to manage two threads of data, therefore it is an 8-core processor and 16 threads of processing. Its most important features continue with an 8 MB L3 cache and a TDP of only 95W, this processor works at a clock speed of 3.6 GHz in base mode and 4 GHz in turbo mode. Another great protagonist of Zen is the eXtended Frequency Range XFR technology, something that we could define as a second turbo mode that will make the processor operate at a higher frequency than its turbo speed if the working temperature allows it.

It is also important to mention that all AMD Ryzen processors have the multiplier unlocked. What does this mean? that we can all overclock to increase their working frequencies and obtain even higher performance, of course we will need a high-end heatsink for this.

Test bench and performance tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	AMD Ryzen R7 1800X
Base plate:	MSI X370 XPOWER Gaming Titanium
RAM:	Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR4

To check the stability of the Ryzen 7 1800X processor in stock values ​​and with overclock. The motherboard we have stressed with Prime 95 Custom and air cooling. The graphics we have used is an Nvidia GTX 1080, without further delay, let's see the results obtained in our tests with a 1920 x 1080 monitor.

Game testing

Overclocking

It is impressive how this processor scales. With 4 GHz in all its cores we have improved the 1511CB of cinebench to 1677 cb with memories at 2133 MHz. Imagine when we can put 3200 MHz memories… what a scale we will have. Regarding games, we do not see a significant improvement, depending on the game we won 1-2 FPS.

Consumption and temperature

It was a surprise to find ourselves with fantastic temperatures with the heatsink that incorporates the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X. At rest we have about 30º C while at maximum load we have an average of 48º C together with some peaks of 50º C. Soon we will be able to test the new Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 and we will see how it scales the performance of the XFR technology that has caught our attention so much in its previous launch. While with overclocking we have gone up to 37ºC at rest and up to 56ºC at FULL.

Regarding consumption, we have obtained about 54W at rest and at maximum power a total of 267W. While overclocked it goes up to 70W and at full power close to 300W.

Final words and conclusion about AMD Ryzen 7 1800X

As we have seen in our tests the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is one of the best processors on the market or at least keep it in mind for those users who are looking for an off-road equipment.

The results in our test bench speak for themselves. We have accompanied it with 3200 MHz DDR4 memories, an MSI X370 Xpower Gaming motherboard, a high-performance SSD in SATA format and a NVMe Samsung 960 EVO disk to test its interface. The results are as expected and it does not make any kind of bottleneck for your LANES.

As we announced a few days ago, overclocking the processor is not one of its strengths. Although it alone can reach 4 GHz in several of its cores, in our tests we have been able to reach 4 but with all its cores with one of the best heatsinks that currently exist. But you have to be careful, since each processor is a world and demands a lot of voltage in these 14 nm.

What is clear is that they become the perfect option for those users who work and play with the same PC. But as long as they take advantage of those 8 cores and 16 threads of execution or want to be cautious and have a team for many years, without thinking if 4 cores really are enough.

We recommend reading the review of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700.

Another of the great advantages is the competition that will exist between Intel and AMD processors. Lowering prices and expecting great improvements on both sides. AMD aims well and high, this is good, it has returned and with great force. Currently we can find the AMD Ryzen R7 1800X with a price of 569 euros (almost 50% less than the competition at Intel), and eye does not have a heatsink included , so you must buy a separate one. We understand that the reasons are obvious, the improved AMD Wraith will not be enough to dissipate the new flagship.

ADVANTAGE	DISADVANTAGES
+ THE BEST 8 CHEAP CORE ON THE MARKET.	- YOU NEED TO IMPROVE GAME PERFORMANCE. WITH A BETTER IPC OR WITH THE OPTIMIZATION OF ALL ITS CORES.
+ IDEAL FOR THOSE USERS WHO WANT AN ALL-TERRAIN TEAM.
+ GOOD TEMPERATURES AND CONSUMPTIONS.
+ IN GAMES IN 2K AND 4K HE DEFENDS HIMSELF.
+ PRICE IS VERY GOOD TO BE AN 8 CORES WITH ITS 16 THREADS OF EXECUTION.
