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
Nearly as speedy as flagship Ryzen 7 1800X with the same eight cores, 16 threads, Test chip was stable overclocked to 4GHz
1080p gaming and single-core performance lag behind comparable "Kaby Lake" chips
AMD's Ryzen 7 "middle chip" trails close behind AMD's pricier flagship CPU, and competes well with costlier Core i7s in tasks that like lots of cores. But for now, it shares the same 1080p gaming issues as its silicon siblings. Read More...
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...
Lower gaming performance than Intel processors, Poorly optimized software ecosystem
The Ryzen 7 1700X offers a simple path to overclocked performance that matches its more expensive 1800X counterpart. The 1700X lags behind Intel's faster quad-cores in many gaming applications, but offers diverse capabilities in heavy workloads. -...

Compared to the 1800X ($500), the 1700X predictably had mostly identical performance when overclocked, but the 1700X ($400) didn't offer any additional overclocking headroom over the 1700. And, for that matter, the 1800X doesn't offer any more headroom th...

The Ryzen 7 1700X octa-core processor from AMD was designed to fill-in the gap between the 1800X flagship and the 65W-rated Ryzen 7 1700, at an affordable price point of just $399. This SKU borrows all the features from the more expensive variant, includi...
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...
I have to admit that I like the Ryzen 7 1700X quite a lot. It is 100 USD cheaper and offers the close to 1800X performance. It surely will reach the same tweaking levels also.At 399 USD this CPU is over half the price of what Intel is charging, and AMD do...
We have been busy this last week and quite frankly we want to spend a lot more time with Ryzen CPUs, but I have certainly gotten a feeling for what exactly the Ryzen 1700X/1800X processors are. Ryzen is a very competitive processor, and many folks that ha...
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...
