AMD Ryzen 7 1700X ReviewManufacturer: AMDUK price (as reviewed): £366.98 (inc VAT)US price (as reviewed): $399.99 (ex tax)We're just a week away from the launch of a cluster of Ryzen 5 CPUs, including four-core and six-core offerings, which should certain...
High performance, 8/16 cores threads, Easy to overclock, Sense MI technologies (XFR), Very competitive price, Supplied with RGB LED cooler, Competitive Performanceperwatt
The 1700 may be better value for the enthusiast
If outright gaming performance is what you are looking for when looking at a Ryzen 7 CPU, it is easy to misunderstand what you are looking at. Most games right now aren't optimised for this many CPU threads, and the ones that are will likely show a signif...

Before I started testing this chip I was half-expecting to call out the Ryzen 7 1700X as the unwanted middle child of AMD's new octa-core range, but the more I think about it it's the 1800X that starts to look essentially irrelevant.The 1700X is a genuine...
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. £3...

There's a range of advice we can offer to any prospective Ryzen owners. First, the more expensive 1800X is only recommended if you want the fastest possible stock processor, no matter what the cost. Highly clocked out of the box, there's not a huge amount...

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,
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
PricingThe Ryzen 7 1700 comes in at just £332.60, while the 1700X comes with a small premium on top at just £360.57. If you want the best Ryzen has to offer, however, you'll have to step up, as the 1800X still costs £488.99. That makes the 1700X around th...

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
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, Fewer PCIe lanes and dualchannel memory are comp
AMD's Ryzen 7 1700X continues the trend of superb price-vs-performance especially when competing against Intel's 6+ core HEDT chips. The 8C16T 1700X costs around £400, which is the same as a 6C12T Broadwell-E i7-6800K, but is able to offer performance clo...
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
Single-thread is good but not great, Gaming optimisations still needed, Limited overclocking potential
The launch of AMD's Ryzen processor is a significant milestone in the company's history. Such is the importance of the Zen architecture that it makes sense to step back and consider how much progress AMD has made.This time last week, the chip manufact...
Overall, then, the day has finally arrived that we thought would never come - a competitive CPU from AMD at the high end. There are some teething problems to get over, and don't expect as polished an experience as you would from an Intel Z270 system right...
