AMD's 2nd generation Ryzen processors has arrived! AMD presents Ryzen 2 (code name Pinnacle Ridge) as a major improvement, with many optimizations. We have, of course, ran some tests to find out what those improvements are. How fast are these CPUs compared to Intel? Has AMD made the right changes? We set to work with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and AMD Ryzen 5 2600X. In this review you will also read about our experiences with the first X470 motherboards.

If you have not jumped directly to the pages with benchmarks: this review is not exactly small in size, so here is a small reading guide. On the next page we will briefly look at what AMD has brought about in the past year with the introduction of its Ryzen processors. Then we take a dive into the underlying architecture, so that you can put all the improvements that the architectural optimisations, new features and last but not least the 12nm production process in the right perspective.
