Ryzen 7 1800X

We would recommend Ryzen 7 1800X for desktop and heavy workloads, such as rendering and workstation applications, but it isn’t as competitive with a diverse range of game titles. Ryzen sets a low pricing bar, and the addition of the new Zen microarchitecture and SMT yield an impressive performance improvement over AMD’s previous generation products.

AMD really has nailed it with this core. Pricing, performance, and featureset are all there. In AMD's most disruptive move since the Athlon 64 days, Ryzen is set to shake the consumer stage.
