Superb multithreaded performance
Comfortably outperforms the similarlypriced Core i76800K in multithreaded tasks
Up to 3.9GHz XFR and 3.8GHz Precision Boost frequencies aid singlethreaded performance
Can be overclocked close to Ryzen 7 1800X frequencie
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
Abstract: AMD's latest Summit Ridge Ryzen 7 1800X 8-core processor has certainly caught our attention for its stellar performance and a price point that may give Intel a run for their money. And then there is the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X processor that almost as fast as t...

In this article, we focused entirely on gaming using the new AMD Balanced power plan. Of the 14 games we tested, many of the tests the AMD Ryzen 1700X was able to hold it's own against the Intel Core i7-7700K. There were times where the AMD Ryzen fell beh...
After testing the Ryzen 7 1700X with SMT enabled and disabled, we can say that disabling it can improve performance in some programs. From the games we testes, Hitman and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had a small raise of the frame rate when we configured the...
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...

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...

Outstanding Performance, Low-Power Consumption (95W TDP), Much Cheaper Than Competition, Ryzen Master Software, Perfect For Multi-Tasking, Can Reach 1800X Performance Easily, Future-Proof Platform, Great Price/Performance Value, Runs Very Cool
Slightly Rushed To The Market
Most of the content written in this conclusion is similar to what I already wrote about the Ryzen 7 1700 since the 1700X is basically the same thing but just clocked higher. Ryzen is an incredible accomplishment and it's nothing short of amazing. As a tec...
We are glad to see how good is to have again competition on the high-end desktop CPUs market. It is clear on all tests that the Ryzen 7 1700X is far superior to the FX-8350, which is one of the most high-end processors from AMD until this launch.Comparing...
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...

Ryzen 7 1700X is basically a 1800X with lower clock. The performance is close to its brother's, and the price reflects that very good.The temperature issue will be solved by AMD and all Ryzen 7 will report normal values.PROsCONs- performance- overclocking...
Great Multithreaded Performance, Low Power Consumption, Very Reasonable Price, Low Platform Entry Price
Bested By Intel In Gaming, Limited Overclocking Capability
Ryzen is a radical departure from the previous Bulldozer derived processors. AMD started from a clean slate and it shows. There's very little in common between Ryzen and AMD's older processors. Ryzen is a fully modern CPU with awe inspiring capabilities.W...
