Ryzen 7 1700X

▲ 12711,984 ▼

8 Cores, 16 Threads @3.4GHz, Zen.
Release date: Q1 2017.

Average Bench: 72.9% (99th of 1197)

Based on 81,350 user benchmarks.  Device: 178BFBFF00800F11 Models: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor, AMD Ryzen: ZD3406BAM88F4_38/34_Y

The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X isn't due for release until next week but two of our users has already submitted benchmarks. Comparing the quad and single core scores from our samples shows a relative 4.3% boost on the single core score so it’s possible that turbo wasn’t fully engaged (12% turbo boost expected). These preliminary results are seriously impressive as they put Zen’s IPC between 0% and 9% below Intel’s Kaby Lake. Even in the worst case scenario these results are still impressive. Comparing Intel’s $1,000 6900K and the 1700X shows that AMD delivers comparable performance for half the price! A shake-up of the CPU market will unfold as Zen rolls out. If Ryzen CPUs can overclock to 4.6+ GHz they will likely dominate the entire market putting a very welcome end to the monotonous tick-tock of recent years. [Feb '17 CPUPro]

edged out over the 4590 turboing to 3.5ghz in floating point math by 3%. IPC is rock solid, and their version of SMT rivals intel's hyper-threading. The real battle between AMD and Intel is going to take place on the front of core count, pricing, clock speeds, and if the Athlon x2 days are any indication, perhaps even some corporate sabotage.—Feb '17

See mulicore MC float of ryzen , it is exclent Boys Game 80% work with graphic card ,only 20% on cpu , games cant show cpu real power, they use only 1 unit in cpu(not all) So All game bench , for cpu test (on sites) are wrong and fake!!!!!? So dont belive CPU games frame rate tests on sites(see above picture and other cpu game bench exactly, in high quality like 4k results same Only only CINEBENCH 15 test can test all unit,core and show real world cpu power performance https://www.instagram.com/p/BRO-v8il9EI/ #amd #ryzen #vega #intel

1700 non-X is better value, but the 1700X at a very close or equal price on sale is a solid buy and a good CPU overall.

Poor quality silicone that doesn't overclock well, even crashes using XFR with a decent cooler. Cheaper R5 1600 beats it in some areas where this should excel (at least when I benched it). Gaming performance worst than 1600 due to lower OC capability. Elderly i5 4670K is superior for gaming.

Amazing CPU. Got on sale for $130, and the performance is unspeakable. In cinebench, it rips up the applications with ease. For such a good value, you really can't go wrong, especially if AMD keeps supporting the AM4 socket in the future. Competition!

This CPU is a processing beast. Base clock is 3.5Ghz but I easily and comfortably overclocked mine to 4.0Ghz with only 1.375V and a better than average air cooler. Very stable workhorse at that speed and the benefits were substantial.

RIGHT so this average benchmark is NOT correct. The people that are getting the 80 percents have not installed the bios updates that allow the chip to go to 3.8 not 3.4 GHz (or are just very unlucky) . At 3.8 this chip will quite easily get 95 to 98 percent and will happily beat my mates overclocked i7-6700k at 4.6 GHz on 3D mark.
