AMD RYZEN 7 1800X

Do you want an octa-core processor that can do everything other processors by competitors can but for half the price? Ryzen 7 1800X is the newest model by AMD  designed specifically for the high-end segment and this relatively cheap but powerful processor looks like it has came from the silicon heaven itself. It is designed for maximalists who require a steady performance from their PC in every situation, even when running multiple resource demanding programs simultaneously. This powerful processor easily provides enough performance for 4K gaming or virtual reality.

Key features

• Currently the best AMD processor
• 8 cores + 16 threads
• Open clock multiplier enables overclocking
• 14nm manufacturing process ensures fairly low power consumption
• Requires a new AM4 socket motherboard
• Unofficial Windows 7 support
• Cooler not included in the packaging

Ryzen 7 in action

The Ryzen 7 1800X model is historically the most powerful AMD processor ever made. Its enormous performance is provided by 8 cores in total, with the base clock frequency set at an impressive 3.6GHz. Under load, the frequency automatically rises to up to 4GHz. This gives you enough power to explore virtual reality or play games in 4K.

Impressive performance in all aspects

The Zen architecture represents a significant step forward for the entire computer segment, as AMD has achieved something remarkable—at the same clock speed, the Ryzen processors provide an incredible 52% performance boost compared to the previous generation. This is partially due to the MultiThreading technology, which ensures smooth processing of up to sixteen threads simultaneously. The icing on the cake is the processor’s unlocked multiplier for extra easy overclocking, given the computer has a high-quality cooling system.

Get ready for a big upgrade

The AMD Ryzen processors require the brand new AM4 socket to work—the differences in architecture are simply too large. However, the new motherboards also provide a whole range of exciting modern technologies, such as USB 3.1 (USB-C), PCIe 3.0, NVMe, 32Gb/s M.2 slots, SATA Express; some models even feature multiple graphics card support in CrossFire mode. In most cases, you should also get ready to invest in fast DDR4 modules to make sure you have enough memory.
