Ryzen 7-1700 Beats Core i7-7700K: AMD

AMD is very confident that it has a lineup of desktop processors that compete with Intel's best. In its recent Ryzen 7 series launch presentation, the company released benchmark numbers to claim that the $499 Ryzen 7-1800X performs on par with the $1,099 Core i7-6900K, despite a narrower memory bus, and at less than half its price.

More interestingly, the company claims that the Ryzen 7-1700, its third fastest Ryzen part, will be a clear winner against the identically-priced Core i7-7700K ($329). The Ryzen 7-1700 posts up to 46% higher performance than the i7-7700K, and even holds up a slim lead over its rival in tests that are not very multi-threaded.

bugI wonder how many think $329 is "budget" class.
True indeed. I guess you could say mid-tier priced hotrod.

I don't know about that either. To me, a "mid-tier priced hotrod" uses a $200-250 CPU (see my specs). $400-500 is high end. CPUs and GPUs priced into 3 digits are either for people with specific needs or a tax on stupidity (strictly imho). Ymmv.

If these test get independently verified that 1ghz advantage the 7700k has over the 1700 isn't that impressive.

i think a good takeaway from these pictures would be the noticeable difference between 1700 and 1700x.

If the systems & benchmark locations are comparable that 200hz difference translate nicely into FPS. Much better then 5-7 fps you get OC the 7700k to 4.8ghz
