AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor Review

Synthetic Benchmarks


Taking a leap from 4.0 GHz up to 4.25 GHz at its peak boost, the 2700X is a significant upgrade from the 1700X Gen 1 Ryzen CPU. It took the score from 17939 to a whopping 20889 at stock, and 21051 once overclocked. That’s much tighter in line with the 8700K, which scores 22978 once overclocked and significant progress for AMD. Of course, we overclocked our 2700X to 4.2 GHz at 1.4v. While that is below the XFR boost, it’s a constant speed and still nets big gains overall if you have appropriate cooling for the CPU. The same is true of Unigine, and PCIe throughput is right where we would expect it to be in GPU bound tasks such as this.

Of course, it’s Wprime, CineBench, and Handbrake where Ryzen Gen 2 shines. The extra core count saw it post some suitably impressive times, including our fastest WPrime 1024 time for a consumer CPU to date. Add to that our highest consumer CPU score for CineBench of 1908 @ 4.2 GHz, and a whopping 62.8 FPS while transcoding 4K video; that’s faster than we got on Threadripper!

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
