The editors didn't like
Single-thread is good but not great
Gaming optimisations still needed
Limited overclocking potential
The 1700 may be better value for the enthusiast
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
Still a little more expensive than the 7700K
“The Ryzen R7 1700
Lower gaming performance than Intel processors
Poorly optimized software ecosystem
Gaming performance is not best suited for ultrahigh refresh rates and trails Core i76800K and i77700K levels (outside of GPUlimited scenarios)
Some memory speed limitations – difficult pushing past 3.2GHz
