Easy to overclock
Very competitive price
Supplied with RGB LED cooler
8 cores
16 threads for under £320
Impressive multi-core performance

Wide range of modern AM4 boards
Makes Core i7 X99 seem ultra-expensive
Competitive price
8-Core w/ 16 Threads
New AM4 platform

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
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also...

We have some interesting results to discuss. Let's start with the Core i7-6900K and 7820X.It was shocking to find that when comparing clock-for-clock performance using the same memory speed on both setups, the older 6900K was faster in every single game w...
Great value for money considering its multi-threaded performance and more than decent single thread performance, Easily overclocks should the need ever arise, Default power requirement is pretty low considering it is an eight-core processor, The cheapest
Lack of game optimization makes Intel quad-cores a better bet, Draws excessive power when overclocked, Single thread performance does not come close to Intel flagship models, Should You Buy The AMD Ryzen 1700
The Ryzen 1700 is a much welcome addition to the CPU marketplace and one that will definitely force Intel to up its game. Even if the 1800X does not manage to topple Intel top performers, it will force Intel to reduce its costs.We feel with time and more...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...
Abstract: Although we've already posted a “first looks” preview of how the Ryzen 7 1700 performs online, we're finally getting around to giving this processor its due. Read on to see if this is the perfect Ryzen for you.This Summit Ridge processor equipped with two...
Abstract: One of the biggest advantages of the latest AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X 8-core processors over the Intel i7-6900K is that they are far more affordable with a performance that almost matches head-on. And if you think that the new Ryzen 7 chips are still ou...
Comparing the results of the Ryzen 7 1700 benchmarks to the the Core i7-7700K, it is clear that, in some testes (like the Cinebench R15), the Ryzen 7 1700 is far superior (because of its number of cores and threads). On the other hand, in other tests and...

Remarkable multithreaded performance, More core and threads than the competition, 1600X on par with a stock i5 7600K in gaming, The full-featured AM4 platform, Excellent value for money
Questions remain over gaming performance, Some early adopter quirks linger, Overclocking not as strong as Kaby Lake

We have already shown in previous reviews that the Zen microarchitecture from AMD is around the equivalent of Intel's Broadwell microarchitecture, but at this lower price point we have AMD's Zen against Intel's Kaby Lake, which is two generations newer th...
