I hope you guys enjoy this one, I had a hell of a time with it. I feel like there is a little more performance to be had and like you I will be keen to watch/read other reviews to get a more complete picture. Depending on how things look I will work out how I need to proceed for the big benchmark videos next week. Of course I also have to deal with the GTX 1080 Ti next week as well so can’t imagine getting much sleep any time soon ;) It’s mostly good fun :D

[techyescity]

Got my cup of tea and ready to watch how you went :).

[joshucoolable]

out of all the techtubers who upload at the same time, yours is the only one i intend to finish til the end. Keep up the good work, Steve!

[wcg]

You guys are the first Ryzen review I'm watching. You deserve the support. Now get some sleep!

[dashmeshsingh]

The excitement is real!! Look how short the intro is. XD

Nice review as always .😀😀

[philscomputerlab]

Legend! My subscriber feed went nuts, but you're my first one :D Terrific for you to include the FX-8370 and older i7 3770. I can relate to these CPUs, the other ones are all too new :D

[philscomputerlab]

AMD K6-2 anyone? Great for applications, a bit weaker in games. I think Intel should worry big time. While gaming is important, I'm thinking of all the content creators and workstation guys that will just love the value. Top review!

[yoitsmegabe]

good to know my 4790k is still relevant. won't be upgrading for years

[louieverrtorreon]

this channel has been my favorite so far in hardware reviews, i've always managed to finish his reviews more than anyone else out there XD

[adiralin]

Good job mate. I watched your review FIRST before all the other high sub tech reviewers.

Excellent job on explaining everything.

Keep up the good work.

[TridonsEve]

Only discovered you a couple of months ago, and I really enjoy your content :D Looking forward to more Ryzen gaming benchmarks and gaming power consumtion.

[daedra]

The way you guys display your benchmarks is simply the best. Hands down. Keep it up, and we appreciate your work.

[TechShowdown]

Fantastic video Steve, my 1800x got 161 CB in the single thread test straight out of the box

[Tappettava]

Most in-depth Ryzen review I've seen so far and without all those cringy unfunny jokes.

I hope that you will keep up the formal and informative review style.

[Darkedge]

for a quickly put together video bud your review is quiet on point, and very detailed, I noticed that min/max fps on Ryzen were considerably tighter, then the Intel offerings, I think with some work AMD has finally build a truly competitive platform.

[lubbnetobb]

Holy shit that's some extensive testing. Thanks for that, very much appreciated.

[whitedragons]

I love the kinda of work and long hours you put in. Love your complete run of benchmarks.

[mitchelltanner]

Nice work; I can almost imagine the sheer amount of stress behind its production :-0 I can't wait to see how things develop.

[rdrive]

Great Video! I really appreciate all your hard work and loads of different cpus being tested. I can see you burned the midnight oil as your eyes were quite puffy but anyway thanks alot for your dedication. Among all the big tech youtubers, you work the hardest! BTW I really grateful for the overclocking benchmarks and info as Linus didn't provide that. Also, I agree with you about the disappointing gaming benchmarks but I am expecting Ryzen 5 will offer more value than 7700k, 7600k & 7500. Great Job!
