The AMD Zen architecture has finally materialized into the Ryzen series of processors! We will take a closer look at the new platform from AMD which does incorporate the Ryzen 7 1800X flagship octa-core CPU along with the ASUS Crosshair VI Hero AM4 motherboard and see if it can dethrone the long-standing Core i7 6900K king from Intel Corporation.
At first, we would like to thank AMD for sending out their AMD Ryzen™ 7 1800X octa-core processor for testing and reviewing.
“Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, United States, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets. While initially it manufactured its own processors, the company became fabless after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009. AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphics processors for servers, workstations and personal computers, and embedded systems applications.
AMD is the second-largest supplier and only significant rival to Intel in the market for x86-based microprocessors. Since acquiring ATI in 2006, AMD and its competitor Nvidia have dominated the discrete Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) market.”
