There have been a lot of speculations roaming around the rumor mills about the AMD Ryzen processor. Recently, the chipset was found into a benchmark testing showing 60% improvement compared to FX-8370 and it also beats the Core i7-6800K CPU.

TechRadar has learned that upon the official announcement of AMD Ryzen a lot of leaked review has started to roam all over the internet. The Zen-based chip has been reported to be as strong as its competitors Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs when it comes to processing performance.

Based on some reports the upcoming AMD Ryzen CPU had its clocks limited to 3.15GHz base and 3.3GHz boost. But then the American tech giant has confirmed the enthusiast SKU of Ryzen will blow things off at 3.4GHz. Aside from that, Ryzen will also have more space for overclocking.

Furthermore, WCCFTech stated in its article that the AMD Ryzen has showcased up to 60% improvement compared with the FX-8370. The benchmark testing also indicated that the AMD Ryzen CPU performs remarkably well upon testing to the programs such as Encodage HB H.264 & H.265, WPrime, PovRay 3.7, Blender 3D, 3DSMax 2015 / Mental Ray and Corona Benchmark.

Aside from that, AMD Ryzen was also able to beat the six-core HEDT Intel Core i7-6800K, which has a price tag of $434. Nonetheless, it falls short of the Core i7-6900K by a noteworthy margin but this doesn't signif that it is anyway less impressive seeing that the 6900K has an MSRP well over the $1000 mark.

With these leaked reviews, it seems that the AMD Ryzen is such a powerful processor. Additionally, it is believed to arrive in four variants mainly SR7 black edition, SR7, SR5 and SR3 which have been confirmed to provide a base speed of 3.15 GHz and are advertised with final clock speed of 3.4 GHz.
