The AMD Ryzen 2000 series of next-generation processors is now available on the market. The price of the Ryzen 5 2600 is $1,599. The price of the Ryzen 7 2700X is $2,699.
One of the weird things about this generation of products is that there is no continuation of the previous generation's products. The 'Ryzen 7 2800X' is gone. Fortunately, the Ryzen 7 2700X's comprehensive performance has surpassed the 1800X, making up for it.
Since it is only the starting line, it cannot be asserted that the Ryzen 7 2800X is being cut off.
According to DSOGaming, at the product pre-marketing counseling meeting, AMD Vice President Jim Anderson Confirms Possible Release of Ryzen 7 1800X Successor 2800X in the Future.
As to why the absence starts, Jim emphasizes that the 2700X/2700 is a good cover for performance and price settings.
In other words, this means that the 2700X is sufficient to combat Intel's flagship of the 8th generation Core i7-8700K. According to the evaluation data, the multicore is leading, and the single-core gap is further reduced. Although the 8700K still performs on the load of the game/common program. There is a very comprehensive advantage, but this magnitude is already imperceptible.
Intel 8-core Coffee Lake has appeared in official documents
Many parties rumors that Intel is preparing for an 8-core, 16-thread, 8-generation Coffee Lake-S product, such as the i7-8750K, which is before the 9th generation of Core Duo. , The mainstream desktop CPU will be pushed to a new high of 8 cores. By then, it will be the Ryzen 7 2800X target opponent.
