AMD Ryzen 7 Is Accused Of Being ‘Overhyped’ Despite Good Performance Reviews

By

AMD Ryzen 7 series has officially arrived and started giving impressive results in one review to another. The Ryzen bandwagon is composed of its top tier, AMD Ryzen 1800X and its two equally exciting siblings, the AMD Ryzen 1700X and AMD Ryzen 1700. However, their quality performance seemed to fail to subdue select Intel minions.

According to Hot Hardware recent review, the AMD Ryzen 7 series surpassed most of the impressions it made before its official release. The review noted that the Ryzen trio is fundamentally similar in their main features.

The AMD Ryzen series became different in clock speed and boost. The X-variants have the eXtended Frequency Range (XFR) feature which runs better for the Ryzen 1800X. Additionally, Ryzen 7 1700's TDPs ranges from 65 watts considering it being the low-end and goes up to 95 watts for the 1700X and 1800X.

However, the AMD Ryzen 7 outstanding review was not enough to satisfy some gaming enthusiast, specifically those that fancy the Intel CPUs. This bunch accused AMD Ryzen of being overhyped suggesting a bogus marketing.

The attack on AMD Ryzen processors hit the comment section of this recent review. One commenter username Sanity said that there will be no hiding of the huge disappointment for a highly hyped product that's supposed to crush its competitor.

AMD Ryzen's optimization is seen as a down spot since most people do not want to have to wait a few months because they want a product that performs to the best of its' ability out of the box, Disqus user commented.

One commenter did not directly attack AMD Ryzen CPUs but take on the AMD CEO Dr, Lisa Su instead complaining that her recent address was bogus referring to optimization requirement and gaming chip objectification.

This resentment even wished that AMD would not suck up expectations for the AMD Vega like they did to Ryzen. These comments are just opinions and they should not be taken seriously but their impact could be serious.
