Quote: "I have been covering the tech scene for a long time, over 10 years now.  I cannot remember a time where there was so much hype for a product like we saw for AMD's Ryzen CPUs.  Let's face it, for quite a while now AMD was not able to compete with Intel when it came to desktop processors.  This inability to compete, especially in the enthusiast market, prompted AMD to completely redesign a new processor.  This is not something that could just happen overnight, Ryzen has actually been in development for 4 years.  AMD had a goal in mind, which was to bring AMD back into the minds of enthusiasts and system builders.  I would say for the past 5+ years if you asked my advice on building a new PC I would have suggested an Intel processor.  Can Ryzen change my opinion on that?  Well today we get our first look at Ryzen, starting with the Ryzen 7 1700 processor.  This is the 8-core, 16-thread processor which runs at 3.0 GHz and boosts up to 3.7 GHz with a TDP of only 65W.  You get all of this for a very nice price of $329.99.  Let's get this chip in a system and see what it can do!"
