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
Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...

The 1700 performs well in heavily threaded workloads, but lags behind Intel's quad cores in most gaming scenarios. However, the Ryzen 7 1700 also offers the lowest entry-level price point for a modern eight-core processor and features enough overclock...
Great Multithreaded Performance, Low Power Consumption, Very Reasonable Price, Best Ryzen 7 Value
Bested By Intel In Gaming, Limited Overclocking Capability
The Ryzen 7 1700 packs quite punch for it quite reasonable $329 price. Just like its more expensive Ryzen 7 siblings, it boasts 8 cores and 16 threads, leading to some quite impressive performance in multiple applications. It just does it at a lower clock...
Ryzen 7 vs. IntelIt is certainly not an easy task to classify the Ryzen CPUs. The octa-core chips convince with dream results in the synthetic benchmarks and even beat much more expensive rivals with ease.However, we cannot give a full recommendation, bec...
Well, I set out to take a more in-depth look at gaming performance between the two similarly priced CPUs compared to the lowly three games tested in our CPU reviews and I can say without a doubt that I did that. I spent two days getting games download...

There has rarely been a product easier to sum up than the Ryzen 7 1700.With the 1800X we had to explain where AMD had come from, what a Phoenix from the Flames or Lazarus job they had done with their latest architecture, and how pleased we were to finally...
Great multi-threaded performance, Significant single-threaded performance increase over Bulldozer, Lower TDP than i7-7700K, 8-cores, 16-threads for only $329
Poor gaming performance compared to Intel, Memory compatibility issues, Platform is very new
So most anticipated piece of PC hardware in recent memory is finally here. This in itself is a new chapter for AMD and one that anyone should appreciate. Remember strong competition is typically always good for the consumer, we can see that with the price...
Abstract: After much anticipation, the Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700 CPUs are finally here. The internet has been buzzing since launch and not everything has been in-favor of the new architecture. My personal experience so far has been great, really, and I feel AM...

Outstanding Performance, Low-Power Consumption (65W TDP), Much Cheaper Than Competition, Ryzen Master Software, Perfect For Multi-Tasking, Can Reach 1800X Performance Easily, Future-Proof Platform, Ultimate Price/Performance Value, Runs Very Cool
Slightly Rushed To The Market
I am very impressed with how well the Ryzen 7 1700 performed against the i7-6900K. The Ryzen 7 1700 is the new king of price to performance ratio. It is the perfect processor for content creation and it's very good with gaming and it's very hard to beat...
Following up the 1800X and 1700X coverage with the Ryzen R7 1700 feels a little like I'm just repeating myself because in most aspects this is the same CPU. At this point, most people have had the time to see that the 1700 is an 8 core 16 thread Zen a...
