AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Linux Benchmarks: Great Multi-Core Performance For $329

Yesterday we posted launch-day Ryzen 7 1800X Linux benchmarks that were particularly appealing for multi-core / heavily-threaded workloads like code compilation. Given all the code compilation done by Linux users in particular, if you were intrigued by the Ryzen 7 1800X performance but find the $499 USD price-tag to be too higher, today I have my initial benchmark figures on the Ryzen 7 1700. The Ryzen 7 1700 is still eight cores and sixteen threads but will only set you back $329 USD as the current low-end Ryzen processor for what's currently available.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Overclocking

On Thursday, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launched their Ryzen 7 processor series and we looked at all three processors in our launch article. Over the past several days we’ve been able to spend more time with the Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X and 1700 and we’ve found ourselves really starting to like the Ryzen 7 1700 processor the best from an enthusiast perspective. For starts the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 is the lowest price processor of the group at $329.99 shipped and it just happens to be the only model that comes with an AMD Wraith CPU cooler.

The best part about the Ryzen 7 1700 is that it overclocks like a champ compared to the other models as we’ve been able to get it up to 4.0 GHz on all cores with just 1.3875V on the CPU Core Voltage! The multi-threaded benchmarks at 4GHz on Ryzen are damn impressive as you end up with a low-cost platform that can more times than not beat the Intel Core i7-6900K that just happens to be priced at $1,021.97 shipped. This processor hasn’t gotten much attention this week, but we feel it is a sleeper and a really good value for those that are comfortable with overclocking.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X (14nm Zen) Review

20 per cent cheaper than the 1800X and almost every bit as good. In the eyes of many enthusiasts, performance in the desktop PC has stalled due to a lack of competition between the key semiconductor manufacturers. AMD, the underdog, has for too many years struggled to keep up with Intel, allowing the latter to put up its feet and focus on mobile parts while charging eye-watering amounts for many-core desktop hips based on previous-generation architecture.

Competition can be crucial to long-term innovation and better value in the marketplace, and it is for these reasons that legions of AMD fans continue to hope that Ryzen will re-establish the chip manufacturer as everyone's favourite dark horse.

AMD Ryzen processors still in healthy supply

While some reports suggest that AMD Ryzen SKUs have been sold out in most major retail stores, a quick check at key markets suggests otherwise. It appears that AMD did things right this time, with its one million Ryzen processors available at launch move, and there is plenty of stock all around the world, in spite of earlier reports of high demand from retailers/e-tailers.

AMD says seeding of dev kits will boost Ryzen gaming performance

Attempts to explain the 1080p gaming deficit observed by several reviewers. SMT seems to be a problem for AMD right now with the disabling of this feature was actually seen to result in better performance in games. Here at HEXUS we tested Total War: Warhammer at Ultra settings QHD, and disabling SMT increased the average frame rate from 79fps to 85.8fps. With Hitman (again Ultra settings at QHD) a similar uplift was observed, with frame rates improved from 91.4fps to 95.6fps.

Other reviewers did quite a few FHD 1080p gaming tests and this again showed AMD performance anomalies. As PC Perspective reports gaming at 1080p on Ryzen "shows a deficit in performance compared to Intel Kaby Lake and Broadwell-E processors," in many AAA games.

Now, regarding this issue, PCPer has received an answer of sorts from John Taylor, CVP of Marketing at AMD. In a nutshell he told PCPer that developers simply aren't used to AMD Ryzen yet, and AMD's seeding of a targeted 1000+ developer systems in 2017 will help address the performance anomaly. In contrast, developers are already leveraging optimisations that uniquely apply to the Intel platform.

Corsair Carbide Air 740 Review

With the Carbide Air 740, Corsair has yet another cube case in its portfolio, while this is actually the successor of the Carbide Air 540, which was introduced almost three years ago. This new model is compatible only with ATX motherboards. Thanks to the generous size and the dual chamber layout, there is enough space for high-end custom water cooling gear. Furthermore since the power supply is placed behind the motherboard, it is quite simple create very clean and tidy setup.

MSI releases a quintet of AMD Ryzen AM4 motherboards

And teases the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X graphics card. We've summed up other motherboard maker's AMD Ryzen AM4 efforts, so it's only fair to have a look over what MSI is offering, even though it hasn't sent HEXUS a press release (yet). MSI has a landing page for AM4 motherboards but it's heavy on promotional graphics, and rather thin on details. However, if you navigate to the MSI motherboards product pages and filter the results by Socket AMD AM4 you will find five new motherboards.
