AMD has made its Ryzen CPU family official with three SKUs unveiled so far: Ryzen 7 1800X, Ryzen 7 1700X, and the Ryzen 7 1700. The media that attended received a Ryzen review kit, which includes:

AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (8C/16T @ 4GHz) processor
GIGABYTE/AORUS AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard
Noctua NH-U12S SD-AM4 cooler (120mm fan)
16GB kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 RAM

I think the review kit is awesome, with a few notes: I want one... really bad. Second, the inclusion of VENGEANCE memory is a nice stab at Intel... nice work there, AMD.
