The editors liked
8 cores
16 threads for under £400
Impressive multi-core performance
Almost every bit as fast as the 1800X
Wide range of modern AM4 boards
Vastly improved power consumption
Gives Intel food for thought
High performance
8/16 cores threads
Easy to overclock
Sense MI technologies (XFR)
Very competitive price
Supplied with RGB LED cooler
Competitive Performanceperwatt
Great value for money
8-Core w/ 16 Threads
Latest AM4 platform
Incredibly easy to overclock
Performance similar to the flagship 1800X
Automatic overclocking
Good overall performance
Robust gaming performance
Unlocked ratio multiplier
Low cost eightcore
Low TDP
Multithreaded application performance
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

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...
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...
At the beginning of this review I mentioned the delays which plagued our 1700X and 1700 samples but looking back, that extra time to digest Ryzen has proven to be beneficial. Now that everyone has had time to take a breather and let some of the emotions s...
I thought that the Ryzen 7 1800X was a great CPU, that is why I gave it the second highest award we offer at TweakTown. It's a great CPU that does very well against Intel's HEDT's 8-core CPUs and does so at a remarkably lower price. However, that price, $...
Great multi-threaded performance, Economical unlocked 8-core CPU
Ecosystem still to mature, Still not completely optimised for gaming
From what we've seen with the benchmarks, AMD's Ryzen 7 series offer a lot better performance given their much lower price point. Anomalies were plenty with some of the newer benchmarks with the Ryzen 5 processors which proved to be better. AMD's gain is...
While the numbers are impressive, gaming performance of Ryzen processors still leaves a lot to be desired. Not to mention that games are yet to be optimized for the Ryzen processors and DX 12, which can lead to better utilization of multiple CPU cores. Th...
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X retails at just RM 1,899 but when you compare price to performance, it floors the Ryzen 7 1800X as they're near identical but with the Ryzen 7 1700X running slightly cooler due to the lowered clock speed. My only dislike towards the...
Sometimes you don't have to be the absolute best to be a winnerIn a nutshell, Ryzen 5's main advantage over Intel's Core i5 range is the higher number of cores and threads it offers while sharing the same price bracket. That's not unlike what AMD offers w...
