Even somewhat competitive performance is a pleasant surprise. Particularly when you consider the Ryzen’s price point, which is less than one fifth the Intel flagship. It can’t keep up with Intel’s Core i7-6950X of course, but it doesn’t go down without a fight. The Rysteals a victory from its rival, the Core i7-7700K, in both the GeekBench 4 multi-core test, and the 7-Zip compression/decompression task. The Ryoffers the best value of any of AMD’s new chips.Īs you might expect, the Ryzen chips’ extra cores allow them to take a strong lead in any test that makes efficient use of them. There are minor advantages on both sides, so let’s see how things shake out. The Ryboasts a 4MB L2 cache, and a 16MB 元 cache, over twice the 8MB of Smart Cache found in the Intel offering. More cores means lower speed across the board, and the Rydoubles the Core i7-7700K’s core count, so each core in the AMD chip runs quite a bit slower.

That’s at the top end of what we’d recommend for most users anyway, and right off the bat, the Intel chip claims a 4.2GHz base clock - a full 500MHz faster than the Ryzen’s boost clock.īut it isn’t a fair fight. The Ryzen 7 1700’s obvious competitor is Intel’s Core i7-7700K, which retails for around $350. With such watered-down numbers, the Ryis starting to look less appealing. Total power draw tends to have a noticeable effect on performance, and on a chip’s overclocking ability. Perhaps more importantly, the Ryonly has a 65-watt Thermal Design Power, compared to the 95-watt TDP found on the 1700X and 1800X. Without it, the 1700 maxes out at its stated Precision Boost speed (unless you overclock it, of course). This feature falls somewhere between Intel’s Turbo Boost and an auto-overclock in concept, squeezing a bit of extra clock speed from Ryzen when thermals and power allows. The lack of an “X” at the end of its SKU signifies it’s missing Extended Frequency Range.
There are some key differences between the high-end 1800X and the more modest Ryzen 7 1700. For a full breakdown of the new architecture and chipset design and feature set, make sure to head over to our 1800X review. This may be one of the first chips to feature AMD’s new Zen architecture, but the flagship chip is the Ryzen 7 1800X. Does it pull off the task? Ryzen to the challenge With the odds stacked against it, the humble Ryhopes to escape the shadow of the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X by redefining value and multi-core performance. That’s a big ask, considering Intel’s current market position and prevalence in desktops and laptops alike. That means the $329 Ryzen 7 1700, the most budget-friendly of the line, is the chip most likely to draw users from those looking at Intel’s Core i7 Kaby Lake chips - specifically, the crowd favorite Intel Core i7-7700K.
These powerful chips start at eight cores and sixteen more conventional threads, aiming to compete in an area where Intel charged a premium. This time it’s Ryzen, a new processor line that’s a fresh start for not just the Red Team’s architecture, but its perception, as well.
