Review of The AMD Ryzen 7 3800x

AMD also known as (Advanced Micro Devices) sells a wide variety of hardware products for a computer.  AMD manufactures a wide variety of products such as Microprocessors, Motherboard Chipsets, Embedded processors, and Graphic processors for servers, work stations, personal computers, and embedded system applications.  Out of all the things that AMD manufactures, they are most commonly known for there CPU’s (Central Processing Unit).  AMD is only behind Intel,  who supplies processors for computer system manufacturers, and also manufactures Motherboard Chipsets, network interface controllers & integrated circuits, flash memory, graphics chips, and embedded processors.

AMD was founded on May 1, 1969 by Jerry Sanders.  Their headquarters is located in Santa Clara, California, and is very close to the Intel company.

 

 

 

 

So as you can see the company’s are very close to each other that if they wanted to have a meeting, they could walk to either places buildings.

So Back to the CPU Review: 

The AMD Ryzen 7 3800x is a 7th Gen CPU that AMD makes.  In my opinion, this CPU would work on many sorts of motherboards except for Gaming Motherboards.  For your Home PC, this would be a CPU that has all the stuff you would ever dream for in a CPU for a low price.  This would also work on the Business PC because it is a very cost efficient CPU that has a lot of cache and a average clock speed.

SPECIFICATIONS:

CLOCK SPEED:

  1. Base Clock: 3.9 GHz
  2. Max Boost Clock: Up to 4.5 GHz

CACHE:

  1. L1 Cache: 512 KB
  2. L2 Cache: 4 MB
  3. L3 Cache: 32 MB

SOCKET TYPE:

  1. AM4 

NUMBERS OF PROCESSORS AND THREADS:

  1. # of Cores: 8
  2. # of Threads: 16

PASSMARK RATING:

  1. 24517 (higher the better)

This CPU can be found on Newegg.com for $379.99.  This steal of a price makes it a very cost efficient CPU.

After reviewing the specs, I would say that this CPU is definitely on the high end.  Whether you are using this CPU in a home computer, or using it in your computer at work it should fit all your expectations.  The only one category motherboard it would not be valuable for would be for a Gaming computer.  It even has a low price! You can tell by all the advanced specs and the wonderful Passmark rating that this CPU is definitely worth the buy, and I for sure recommend this CPU.

NOTE: THIS IS FOR A CLASSROOM PROJECT
