In March 2017, AMD launched its new generation of processors, which followed the long Bulldozer nightmare. This painful episode which lasted more than 5 years literally emptied AMD’s coffers, to the point of selling its foundries which have now almost disappeared from the forefront. This is how Jim Keller was asked to save the ship with his ideas and experience. The fruit of this association was called Ryzena stylized name that comes from the English word risen, meaning resurrected. We know today that this word was particularly well chosen, and carries meaning in 2024, more than 7 and a half years since its arrival. Many people still have such a solid machine, and it is also for them that we are doing these tests: if you do gaming, is it necessary to change the original platform from the AM4 to Zenor can changing only the graphics card be enough for your happiness? We tested a brave Ryzen 7 1700Xand we compared it to the Core i9-13900K, as well as two old acquaintances, the Core i5-2500K and FX-8370. Verdict for this brave knight who resists?
