SeekerAMD Ryzen 7 1800X
Right now, Ryzen is proof that AMD is back on form. Although it hasn’t knocked Intel off the top spot for outright performance – and certainly not for single-core applications – it has set new standards for value and efficiency. It will surely prompt game and app developers to optimise their software for eight-core chips, and there is certainly more performance to come from Ryzen. If you’re thinking of buying or building a high-end PC right now, a Ryzen 7 chip is the obvious choice.

The 1800X is pitched directly at the Intel Core i7-6900K, so it is here that we’ve focused our testing – although we have included scores from our Core i7-7700K review too.
