AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is 10% faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 in games

YouTube’s ‘Hardware Numb3rs‘ has shared some new interesting gaming benchmarks for AMD’s new Ryzen 7 CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. And according to the results, this new Ryzen CPU is 10% faster in various games than its previous gen version, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700.

Going into more details, Hardware Numb3rs tested Rise of the Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light, World of Warcraft, Far Cry Primal and Ashes of the Singularity at 1080p. With the exception of Ashes of the Singularity, all other four games performed noticeably better on Ryzen 7 2700X than on Ryzen 7 1700. More or less, we are looking at a 10fps increase.

Hardware Numb3rs also compared the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (running with both 3200 and 3533 memories) and the Intel i7 7700K. And with the exception of World of Warcraft and AOTS’ GPU test, this CPU performed pretty well. Yes, it was a bit slower than the i7 7700K, however we’re talking about 5-10fps. And if AMD prices this CPU significantly lower than the i7 8700K, it will undoubtedly have a gem on its hands.

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X will be officially launched on April 19th!

  1. AMD is doing what they need to do imo. The trickle of improvements will continue just like Intel did until the next die shrink and then there will be a big advance in performance. I’m curious to see where AMD has been putting their R&D dollars to work. Hopefully they have been putting more into their GPU line so that they can compete with Nvidia’s nextgen GPUs. Nvidia is getting too arrogant imo. Time for a wake-up call like Intel got a while back. I don’t think Intel would have pushed 6 cores/ 12 threads into mainstream pricing if it hadn’t been for Ryzen.

    1. The 6700k-8700k is about the difference of r7 1700x 4ghz-2700x4ghz, if it had the same amount of cores. omegalul gg. 6700k-7700k at same clock speed there is no difference at all in games. OMEGALUL. stock clocked 7700k to stock clocked 8700k in most games is about a 5% difference, double OMEGALUL.

  2. If you are not overclocking then there will be more gains due to the higher default clock on new Ryzen.

    Not that I am discrediting 4Ghz vs 4Ghz as bias. I am just stating the obvious. Before someone attacks me I have to mention that yes I like clock to clock comparisons (apples to apples) as well.

    1. Its to see if there is a difference inn ipc between the new chips, or if the only difference is a few 100mhz. And what it showed is there is a difference in ipc. So theres the improvement in ipc plus the added clocks. The 2700x was gimped here while the 1700x was given a boost. Yet the 2700x was still faster.

  3. 10% performance jump huh? It will be interesting to see the full reviews of this chip. It’s nice to see a competitive AMD in some areas at least.
