AMD Ryzen R7 1700X 8-Core 16-Thread CPU Review

CPU Benchmarks

Ashes of the Singularity

Straight away we see good results from the 1700X, sitting right between the 1700 and the 1800X in both stock and overclocked scenarios; right where we expected it to be.

Cinebench R15

Again, we see the 1700X breathing down the neck of the 1800X, but the higher clock speeds of the 1800X do give it a small advantage.

Handbrake

Ryzen does a good job of transcoding video thanks to its 8-core design, clocking in at 57.2 FPS while overclocked; very respectable.

WPrime

Another solid result, around 5% behind the 1800X while overclocked. With the exception of the £1600+ Intel 6950X, Ryzen is dominating the results here.

WinRAR

We’ve had trouble with Ryzen here before, it doesn’t like this benchmark, but pushing the overclocks did help bring that time down by a significant amount.
