The editors liked
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

Abstract: Curious how Ryzen scales across its CPU cores and SMT? Here are some Ubuntu Linux benchmarks testing a Ryzen 7 1700 with different core counts.The MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM motherboard used for our Ryzen 7 testing thus far offers a new "downcore con...
AMD Ryzen With ATI RubyThe AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processor benchmark results with this chip overclocked up to 4.0 GHz are impressive. Running all 8-cores on a Ryzen processor at 4 GHz is fun and you can see how far AMD has come with Ryzen since the old FX seri...

Abstract: Yesterday we posted launch-day Ryzen 7 1800X Linux benchmarks that were particularly appealing for multi-core / heavily-threaded workloads like code compilation. Given all the code compilation done by Linux users in particular, if you were intrigued by th...

Strong Overall Performance, 8-Cores / 16-Threads, Power Friendly, Aggressive Pricing
Issues In A Few Benchmarks, Unimpressive Overclocking In Early Stages
It's not all good news, though. With some legacy apps, audio encoding, lower-res gaming, and platform level tests, Ryzen trailed Intel – sometimes by a wide margin. There is obviously still optimization work that needs to be done – from both AMD and softw...
Man, there is just so much to take in with this launch. I've gone through the testing and even though I have to follow up (hopefully) later on today when our 1700 comes in with its performance. I can say that testing Ryzen as a whole has been a roller...
AMD sees Ryzen 7 processors as being the perfect fit for multi-threaded (nT) work with slightly lower single threaded (1T) performance. Our testing shows that is true for the most part. In applications where all cores are being used the 8-Core, 16-Thread...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that I've written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. There's no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
Solid 8 Core/16 Thread performance, Lower TDP of 65W for cooler operation, Our Sample overclocked to 3.9GHz easily, Suitable for content creation / video editing or render work, New AM4 platform, Very compelling price, Great CPU for a multi-purpose system
Still slightly slower in some single threaded applications
Ryzen has been worth the wait. AMD has delivered a solid processor at a disruptive price point. The Ryzen 7 1700 may not have the XFR feature but it's still unlocked and overclocks provided that you have the right motherboard chipset.Power draw and temper...
