Issues In A Few Benchmarks
Unimpressive Overclocking In Early Stages
Lack of game optimization makes Intel quad-cores a better bet
Draws excessive power when overclocked
Single thread performance does not come close to Intel flagship models
Solid 8 Core/16 Thread performance, Lower TDP of 65W for cooler operation, Our Sample overclocked to 3.9GHz easily, Suitable for content creation / video editing or render work, New AM4 platform, Very compelling price, Great CPU for a multi-purpose system
Still slightly slower in some single threaded applications
Ryzen has been worth the wait. AMD has delivered a solid processor at a disruptive price point. The Ryzen 7 1700 may not have the XFR feature but it's still unlocked and overclocks provided that you have the right motherboard chipset.Power draw and temper...
