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
Not all AMD Ryzen 1700 processors are built the same. Of the three we have in our possession, we have seen these check in overclocking-wise at 3.8GHz, 3.9GHz, and 4.0GHz. These are not POST-and-screenshot overclocks; these are full load 100% stability ove...
Great Multi Thread performance, Solid Gaming Performance, Nice Overclocking room on 1700, Easy clock adjustment with Ryzen Master, Price, Power Efficiency, Experience
Near Heart Attack levels of Excitement
Don't let negative vibes fool you. AMD has released an excellent design that far surpasses what the release was like of the FX-8350 years ago. If it wasn't for Ryzen 5, I'd tell everyone to get a Ryzen 7 1700. If you can use 8 cores though, you should...

AMD Ryzen proved to be the great comeback of the company and a big advantage for consumers. The new CPUs offer Intel equivalent performance at half price, so nothing sounds better than this.Ryzen 7 1700 is an 8-core/16-threads processor, capable of runnin...
The 329 USD pricetag for Ryzen 7 1700 is golden. Seriously, this processor outs tremendous performance levels, especially multi-threaded performance kicks ass. We however are clueless as to why and how Ryzen is not performing well enough in gaming. I do n...

Well, well, well. what do we have here? Ryzen 7 1700 is AMD's cheapest octa-core offering which is priced at $329 and is set to go against the Intel Core i7 7700K. Not only the Ryzen 7 1700 is cheaper, but is rated at a lower TDP of 65W, which is quite a...

I still have a lot of questions to be answered surrounding the current performance and infrastructure for AMD Ryzen CPUs, but my time overclocking with the Ryzen 7 1700 has given me reason to believe AMD has a solid solution on its hands. For those enthus...
Twice the cores and threads as Intel's competing Core i7-7700K, at a slightly lower price, Our test chip hit nearly 4GHz in overclocking
Single-core and 1080p gaming performance lag behind Intel's comparable Kaby Lake chips
AMD's entry-level Ryzen 7 chip impresses on multi-core tasks, and our test chip overclocked to nearly 4GHz. But Intel's "Kaby Lake" chips are better at lightly threaded workloads and 1080p gaming—at least for now. Read More...

The AMD R7 1700 is priced in a way that makes it worthy of consideration at the cost, but with some of the same caveats as the R7 1800X. In the case of the R7 1700, we see mixed workload use cases shine better at the $330 price point, where the CPU deftly...
