Overclocked AMD Ryzen 1800X breaks Cinebench world record

Good to hear. Competition is healthy. Hopefully Intel will finally drop their prices.

While I know you're joking, it's obvious they named the R7 to compete against the i7, and the R5 to compete against the i5 etc.
 
As a non-IT person... What does this mean to a layman? Is this akin to an auto tuner squeezing double the performance from a smaller motor than competitors can from a larger one?

swap out "smaller" for cheaper and you're getting there (Ryzen is a smaller chip than Skylake but the bit that makes Ryzen interesting to people is that it's bringing performance delivered by expensive Intel parts to price points sometimes 2x lower).

It is what a Nissan GTR is to a Ferrari.
Whoops its ass at a fraction of the price.
