My blog of being AMD Red Team Plus at the New Horizon event Blog

I’m on the AMD Red Team plus, and for the New Horizon event we had a get together called The Gathering. Here is an idea of what being Red Team Plus is like and also everything I can tell you about the new Horizon Event that was on the 13th of December in Austin Texas. First off, I flew to Austin and arrived at the airport around 2PM. We all stayed at the Hyatt in downtown Austin. The first day we were there was Sunday and that was mostly the day when everyone arrived. We did do a stream later in the day, but due to the … meh hotel internet the playing of Duck Game and streaming that did not go so well lol. Still, was really fun meeting everyone on the RTP for the first time and playing a really competitive... shooter?... more like platformer... together. Monday was really awesome, the entire Red Team Plus were at the AMD headquarters in Austin for the day from 9 until 5 or so. We did a variety of things, like met with a number of the AMD employees working on a variety of products, from CPU’s to GPU’s to OEM relations. One really interesting thing was getting to see the AMD product showcase room where there was a number of things like a Fury X and die/core next to it: [image] Also a server: [image] Among a variety of cool things like the Playstation set up with the VR headset, a couple of Freesync demos, and a whole room setup of the Oculus Rift with a variety of games. [image] The VR room: [image] The rest of the day was a lot of meetings, lol. Some about OEM stuff, which was essentially a Q&A, some other meetings, and then a very long session on media etiquette and how to talk to reporters, how to take an interview, etc. and it was actually quite fun in that one. A pic from it: [image] We did have lunch while there at AMD HQ, and it was actually really good. Way better than a college campus. [image] After that, we had… more meetings, lol. Some of which were super interesting, some of which not as much but we got finished around 5:00 and then all wen…

The Ryzen 1800X: AMD's Brand New Flagship Hardware

Is it badass? It's pretty bad ass. My full review is linked below: First off, specs of the CPU: [image] Overclocking of the CPU: Pretty low ceiling of 4.2-4.5 if you are lucky, I personally sat around 4 ghz with XFR enabled on air cooling. However, every single mhz you can get makes a MASSIVE difference in performance. 3.9 Ghz CPUz: [image] 4 Ghz CPUz: [image] Next the things everyone cares about: performance. The blender test that was origianlly run at New Horizon, now run on my 1800X at 3.9 Ghz: [image] Next up: Cinebench r15. Stock is right around where AMD said, in the 1590-1600 range. [image] 4 Ghz hits an insane 1724. This is an 8 core at 4 ghz. [image] 3dmark Firstrike with a r9 390 nitro: [image] So that is some of my testing so far, most of the rest it is in the above article. Thoughts? Comments? Have a bench you want me to run? Let me know :D

Now chill.
