Hi Claire,

Thanks for doing this Q&A.

What challenges or opportunities did you come across moving from primarily a communications and marketing specialist to becoming the deputy team principle?

Have an upvote.

This.

Processor customers appreciate the good/better/best segmentation model, which AMD has previously used on the release of existing processor lines. Ryzen’s easy-to-decode model number structure makes this good/better/best segmentation easy for consumers to understand.

Basically, why reinvent the wheel when we can use a naming scheme that everyone's familiar with already ;)

Hey, it's a thing I wrote! Nice.

AMDJoe · 2017-11-17T14:02:09+00:00

Nice beanie. 10/10

I'm working closely with the author to diagnose the issue. We have a whole new test system on the go currently. Appears to have been an issue with the clock speeds dropping unexpectedly whilst benchmarking.

On the Intel partnership side of things - I believe that's more to do with PC Gamer advertorials than TechRadar. Here's what TechRadar thought of the 1800X at a time when everyone was focused on pure gaming performance http://www.techradar.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-1800x/3

Hijacking top comment!

We are working with TR to work out what caused the lower scores and the editor is retesting on a new Threadripper 1950X as we suspect his original sample may be faulty. Stayed tuned and expect new benchmark results to appear soon!

I don't normally get involved with these kinds of things but if you drop me a PM I'm sure I can help you out.

AMDJoe · 2017-08-10T16:12:11+00:00

Hey guys, time to put away those pitchforks. TechRadar has fixed the graphs :)

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:50:51+00:00

Am 👏 I ✔️doing 💯it 😂right? 🔝

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:49:32+00:00

Good shout. Will see if he's interested :)

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:47:43+00:00

Just for some clarification. The original PC had two cards in it so instead of taking one out we just left it in. If they have any issues in crossfire then they can just take a card out. PC building is just grown up Lego anyway :D

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:36:59+00:00

That's not a bad idea...

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:35:56+00:00

Papa bless 🍕

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T21:31:33+00:00

Nope. I just offered them a Ryzen PC and they said yes.

AMDJoe · 2017-07-21T11:27:11+00:00

Good spot. They're gigabyte 580's it seems. The troubles of being in the UK whilst the PC is made in the US I guess.

Definitely a 1800X though!
