Pricing and availability. More comparisons. 1. It’s only fair competitor ,the Intel Core i7-8700K, is slower on the single- and multi- core front and doesn’t offer much better gaming performance to justify its slightly more expensive price tag.Lastly, AMD has introduced a new optional StoreMI technology that basically ties all your storage mediums together for the quickest access to the most commonly used files and programs. AMD System Config: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, ‘Turpan’ reference motherboard, 16GB of dual-channel DDR3-3200, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card, Graphics driver 390.77, and a Samsung 850 PRO 512GB SSD using the Windows 10 RS3 operating system. Mainstream desktop platform means Socket AM4 for AMD platforms and LGA 1151 for Intel platforms. 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). AMD Ryzen System Config: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X, 1700, Ryzen 5 1600X, Ryzen 5 1600 X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium motherboard, 16GB of dual-channel DDR3-3200, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card, Graphics driver 390.77, and a Samsung 850 PRO 512GB SSD using the Windows 10 RS3 operating system. Meanwhile, the enhancements made to Precision Boost and XFR2 are impressive. I look forward to seeing all of it together when that comes to pass.Other than having a better VRM design or more BIOS options, the X470 would perform the same here.Per AMD, there are no performance differences between the various chipsets that are out there. So, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X looks like an overall better deal than its predecessor. Not that I’m going to rebuy my 32gb of 3200, but I’m curious if I should have gone with faster ram.Contact us: News@TheFPSReview.comI now run 2 x 16gb 3200mhz stuff on my x570 Steel Legend at 3800mhz (Hynix chips CAS18 1.41v)with fclk on my 3700x at 1900(1:1) with just PBO enabled and no other voltage increases with the CPU.This should give you some really nice baseline info when the 4xxx series processors release to see how they all compare against each other. 2.78% faster CPU speed? vs 1700X. Along with the inclusion of the Wraith Prism cooler and an AMD’s new StoreMI technology, the Ryzen 7 2700X is an incredible value package.The only slight caveat is users will have to update their motherboard with a compatible BIOs, which unfortunately at least requires an 1st generation Ryzen part to do so. Please refresh the page and try again.The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X fully outpaces the Intel Core i7-8700K, thanks to serious improvements made with Zen+ and higher clock speeds ending Team Blue’s frequency advantage.The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X might feature the same eight-core and 16-thread configuration as its predecessor, but it’s significantly faster with a 3.7GHz base clock and 4.3GHz boost. The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X isn't due for release until next week but two of our users has already submitted benchmarks. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps. vs i9-9900K . AMD claims it’s latest chips provide 16% better performance and 11% lower power draw than a last generation processor running at the same clock speed.Plus, the processor now comes with the Wraith Prism, which we consider to be a premium RGB CPU cooler. Specification Charts Combined Speed (all threads combined) Ryzen 7 2700X: 59.2 GT/s: Ryzen 7 1700X: 54.4 GT/s: Difference: 4.8 (9%) Core Speed. And, in Geekbench, the 8700K landed 5,831 and 25,811 points in the single- and multi-core tests, respectively.Thanks to the higher-frequencies Ryzen 2nd generation is able to achieve, the 2700X overtakes the Intel Core i7-8700K in all our single-core benchmarks. vs i7-7700K. AMD dubbed this refresh Zen+, but that did not mean an architecture change, only a more refined manufactured process change. The 8 core, 16 thread 2700X is AMD’s second generation Ryzen 7 flagship following in the wake of the Ryzen 7 1800X which continues to offer excellent multi-core value for money. Compared to Intel, I can’t even remember all the lakes now which all tend to blend together with virtually the same performance overall.The FPS Review reviews enthusiast computer hardware and games.When I say that performance is the same between the chipsets, I mean given all things being equal.

The manufacturing process improvement allowed higher clock speeds, higher all-core clock speeds and overclocks, and a slight ~50mV Vcore voltage reduction.
