65W TDP (Cool running
Impressive performance perWatt)
8/16 cores threads
Easy to overclock
Very competitive price
Supplied with RGB LED cooler
8 cores
16 threads for under £320
Impressive multi-core performance
Lower TDP than 1700X or 1800X
Wide range of modern AM4 boards
Makes Core i7 X99 seem ultra-expensive
Competitive price
8-Core w/ 16 Threads
New AM4 platform
Very easy to overclock
Can closely match the 1800X while overclocked
Precision Boost and XFR
Excellent performance in rendering (Cinebench)
Good gaming performance
Unlocked ratio multiplier
Lowcost eight core
65W TDP
Bundled cooler
Eight cores
Faster than the the Ryzen 7 1800X when overclocked
Excellent multi-threaded performance that is vastly superior to that of the Core i7-7700K
Competitive performance against Intel processors three times its price
Up to 3.75GHz XFR frequency helps single-threaded performance
Unlocked CPU multiplier and o
The editors didn't like
No XFRtechnology
Specific memory requirements
Single-thread is good but not great
Gaming optimisations still needed
None
Neutral
Memory performance still has a few bugs
But we expect these to be fixed with a BIOS update
Like all 8-core chips
It can get quite warm
So a powerful cooler is recommended
Price is very similar to the more established i7-7700K
“The Ryz
Lower stock performance than other Ryzen 7 models
Lower game performance than Intel processors
Poorly optimized software ecosystem
Low stock speed
Not as fast in lightly threaded tasks as Intel chips
Gaming performance is not best suited for ultra-high refresh rates and trails i7-7700K levels (outside of GPU-limited scenarios)
Lower memory frequency support compared to Kaby Lake

There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...

AMD's Ryzen 7 1700 is perhaps the most interesting chip in the line-up due to its lower price than the 1700X and 1800X, which were superb value in their own right. A new level of multi-threaded performance has been delivered at a £330 price point where In...

The launch of AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs has largely been greeted with positivity by the media and most forum users. Their undeniable strength rests with massive multi-core capability at prices that are 2-3x cheaper than select Core i7 chips manufactured by Intel...

In our testing, the 1700 performs surprisingly good, and in some benches, better than expected. This is likely down to the ongoing optimisations, and the ironing out of any bugs that may have reared its head since release. There are more optimisations exp...

PricingThe Ryzen 7 1700 comes in at just £332.60, a far cry from the flagship, 1800X which costs £488.99. On Amazon UK. That makes the R7 1700 around the same price at the Intel Core i7-7700K (mostly thanks to recent Intel price cuts).OverviewThe Ryzen hy...
What we have here is somewhat of an overclocker's dream. While anything much over 4GHz is going to be tricky, at least until we see improvements AMD's end, the Ryzen 7 1700 is still able to dish out a 1GHz overclock over its base frequency of 3GHz and thi...

Abstract: In this, the ultimate AMD vs Intel comparison, Fierce PC sent me two identical systems – barring the CPU and motherboard of course! The Intel system features an i7-7700K and an Asus Maximus IX Hero – whereas the AMD system features a Ryzen 7 1700 running...
Overall, then, the day has finally arrived that we thought would never come - a competitive CPU from AMD at the high end. There are some teething problems to get over, and don't expect as polished an experience as you would from an Intel Z270 system right...

Abstract: AMD's first generation old-time favorite, the Ryzen 7 1700 seems to have aged rather well. In a recent test we compared it against its direct competition at the time, the Core i7-7700K. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen processor enjoys strong performance gains...

Abstract: When we recently updated our Best CPUs feature, we noticed that access to affordable first-gen Ryzen processors remains an attractive option for many. The Ryzen 7 1700 is a standout option in particular as this 8-core/16-thread part is selling for $160, m...
