Product overview

Released on March 2, 2017, the Ryzen 7 1800X is a first‑generation Ryzen 1000 “Summit Ridge” desktop CPU for AMD’s AM4 platform. It packs 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.6/4.0 GHz boost, and AMD later phased it out in 2018 as the Ryzen 2000 lineup took over. A discrete graphics card is required.

Positioned in the high_end tier, it existed to bring an 8‑core SMT option to mainstream AM4 builds. It’s a solid choice for office/productivity, streaming while gaming, and creator workloads like video editing and 3D rendering, and it can handle 1080p gaming with a capable GPU.
