The editors liked
Even more competitive multi-threaded performance
Entire range now arrives with Wraith cooler
Improves on every aspect over previous generation
Faster and better memory support
More aggressive pricing
Precision Boost 2 and XFR2 are much improved
Ide
Solid value
Impressive multi-core performance
All chips unlocked
Lots of motherboard choice
Significant performance boost vs. 1800X
Bundled coolers
Backward-compatible with 300-series motherboards
Indium solder
Better memory and cache performance
Faster and more frugal than before
Excellent all round performance
Improved overclocking
Dramatically improved performance
Reasonably priced
Useful included CPU cooler and software
New 12nm fabrication process
Precision Boost 2 works well
Taking the 2700X over 4GHz out of the box
Memory compatibility does not seem an issue
Lower pricing at launch compared to its predecessor
The editors didn't like
Still lacks single core performance compared to Intel
Struggles in memory intensive applications
105W TDP compared to previous 95W on 1800X
Increased power consumption compared to previous Gen
Single-thread is better but not great
Limited all-core overclocking headroom
Limited overclocking headroom
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
Still slower clock speeds than Intel
Slower than Intel for gaming
Higher TDP than 1800X
Highest-energy draw on load
Marginal improvement to be had over 1700X/1800X
Power draw could be better
Still behind Intel in terms of IPC
Limited overclocking potential due to the effectiveness of Precision Boost 2
If Ryzen 2nd Generation launched a year ago, Intel might have had to increase the 8700K's core count to 8 cores to keep up. Ryzen 2nd Generation performance gains come from two physical changes; the 12nm process and the optimization of transistor type pla...
Significantly reduced power draw, Improved memory compatibility, Higher clock frequencies at lower voltages (VID)
Overclocking headroom still far behind what Intel offers, Memory frequency still far too dependent on CPU IMC sample
The second-generation Ryzen CPUs are a welcome improvement over what was initially offered a year ago. The advancements AMD has made are small but numerous, and as a package it all comes together in a way that finally makes AMD a realistically viable choi...
Highest performing desktop CPU, Plenty of overclocking headroom, Gaming performance at par with Intel
Hot-head
AMD's latest desktop flagship certainly has all the bells and whistles that they promised. For most folks who've been sceptical of moving to a new platform, a revision or an optimised iteration is what they're looking out for. One which improves upon the...
Slightly cramped layout, No video outputs for Ryzen APUs,
AMD blew us away last year, and of course we can't expect the same thing to happen again so soon. The Ryzen 7 2700X is a competent step forward, not a whole new generation of architectures. If you were planning to upgrade, AMD just made the deal a little...

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-Core Processor ReviewIt has only been a year since AMD has launched the original Ryzen and the 2nd-gen Ryzen we have today is a great example of how committed AMD is in improving their position in the performance market for CPUs. The n...

OVERCLOCKING
SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 8-cores and 16 threads retails for about $329, with a local landing price of ₱19,000. That's an extra $35 premium but it won't get in the way at all for us to give this CPU a well deserved pat on the back...
