Great productivity and allaround performance. Stock and OC'ed 2700X are mostly faster than the 8700K. Power
The editors didn't like
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
Abstract: It's the age-old question that has spurred endless debate: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has reached new heights with AMD's Ryzen 2000 Series, often referred to by users (but not AMD) as "Ryzen 2," competing against Intel's 8th Gen "Coffee Lake" for d...

Abstract: How much does RAM speed really affect the new Ryzen 2nd generation CPUs like the 2700X? I've tested synthetic and real world applications including Fortnite, PUBG, GTA V and CS:GO to find out! Let's see if that 3400MHz RAM is worth your money… - Patreon...

For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...
The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is currently the best option for a consumer level processor. The only true competition it has is the Intel Core i7-8700k which is relatively even on single-core and gaming performance, but falls far behind on multi-thread application...

New 12nm fabrication process, Precision Boost 2 works well, taking the 2700X over 4GHz out of the box, Memory compatibility does not seem an issue, Lower pricing at launch compared to its predecessor
Marginal improvement to be had over 1700X/1800X, Power draw could be better, Still behind Intel in terms of IPC, Limited overclocking potential due to the effectiveness of Precision Boost 2
2nd Gen Ryzen makes some useful but marginal improvements over what we must now call 1st Gen Ryzen. If you liked Ryzen 7 1800X you will be impressed by Ryzen 7 2700X and the combination of reduced latency, increased clock speed as well as the sophisticati...
Over the past year, we have seen the processor landscape change more than it had changed in the ten years before. This was, of course, driven by AMD's Ryzen processors, which are much better placed to compete with Intel than they were in previous years. T...

Dramatically improved performance, Reasonably priced, Useful included CPU cooler and software
Highest-energy draw on load
The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is undoubtedly the best consumer processor on the market right now. 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 sl...
