Price. Limited value for money
Conclusion
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel
Limited overclocking headroom
Higher Peak Power Than Predecessors
Max Overclocked Frequencies Still Much Lower Than Intel
Needs a better cooler for overclocking
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
Large performance deficit compared to a stock Ryzen 7 2700X
Still no overclocking headroom
Not super-new design
Single-threaded performance still lower than Intel's
Limited overclocking potential
Memory still a bit more problematic than on Intel
Lacks integrated graphics
Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs

All the data we've gathered provides real insight into how AMD and Intel CPU architectures compared over the past decade for gaming. We've seen AMD come from nowhere to often beating Intel, while the latter has made smaller steps in pure architecture term...

Abstract: To revisit the battle between the Core i7-8700K and Ryzen 7 2700X, we'll be comparing today's data with what we found back in 2018 to see if either CPU has aged better. In addition, we'll benchmark alongside the new Core i7-11700K and Ryzen 7 5800X, so ow...

Abstract: Today we're taking an updated look at the gaming performance of the Ryzen 7 2700X and comparing it with more modern 8-core, 16-thread CPUs such as the Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Core i7-11700K. The 2700X is a CPU that we really liked for productivity tasks...

Abstract: Recently we compared the Ryzen 7 3700X against the new Core i5-10600K in 9 competitive titles using low quality settings to see just how much faster the Intel processor is when letting the frame rate shoot well above what you'd need for 144Hz gaming.The...
Abstract: Legit Reviews has been using Blender in our benchmarks for years and hopefully you've found the results worthwhile and interesting. Blender, for those that might not know, is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D p...
Abstract: Geekbench 5 was officially released by Primate Labs today and Legit Reviews has been taking a look at this benchmark in the lab. The release of Geekbench 5 brings new machine learning, augmented reality, and computational photography workloads to the CPU...
We recently updated our Linux testing suite a wee bit, making minor changes, but at the expense of dropping all single-threaded benchmarks – by accident. We hadn't thought much about every single set of results being hugely optimized for core counts, whic...

Abstract: AMD didn't claim that its R7 2700X Gold Edition would be special in any frequency or binning sense of the word, but exposure to the Intel i7-8086K has obviously led us to project our hopes onto AMD that it would be binned. This is, of course, a fault of o...

Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...

The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...
