First Ryzen 7 1700X Review finds its way onto the web

Iranian website ShahrSakhtafzar just went online with a review on the Ryzen 7 1700X processor. Shahryar states that they did not receive the processor and motherboard from AMD, but was obtained (likely) through a regular e-tail channel.

The content released prior to the embargo tomorrow was bound to happen I guess. Earlier this year a french magazine already posted a wide scope of results.

The review carries a good number of benchmarks based on a B350 motherboard from MSI as well as what they claim to be is an AMD Ryzen 1700X processor. Looking at the photo it is an engineering sample though. But that model would be and indeed has a 3.4 GHz base and 3.8 MHz Turbo clock. They use a GeForce GTX 980 for gaming, which definitely forms a bit of a GPU bottleneck. ShahrSakhtafzar goes through the benchmark paces with a Core i7 7700K, 6700K and 6950X for comparison.

Their full review is posted here. Below a couple of benchmarks courtesy of ShahrSakhtafzar, click the thumbnails to enlarge.

So basically when go to benchmarks Ryzen is pretty good but still quite worse in games. With the price 319 GBP in UK for 7700k or 4770k (290 GBP) there's no reason to go for more expensive 1700X (390 GBP). So much for the hype.

I do not know what you smoke man but it ain't good for you

! Look at the benchies again and again and maybe will "come down to you"!

Dat memory latency tho O_o , is that a bug ? or memory controler still needs some working

Higher ram @ 3000-3200MHz would definitely help by those cpu directx api bound games..

Looks like a bug, it doesn't read NB frequency either. I remember the same by Haswell rls..

I stopped caring when I saw the resolutions used: 1366x768? 1600x900?
If these are valid, they're are hard at work making the processor look bad versus Intel. It's obvious that with lower clocks vs Intel they'll perform worse, but 16 threads aren't meant just for gaming...

Dude, do you game on a 1366x768 resolution monitor? Quite worse by how much: 1 to 10 fps? Shut up!

And not biased.

They should put accent on comparing same amount of 8 cores from Intel and AMD. Also shall not damage if HH will do a value/performance clasification of processors tested.

Btw the link IS DOWN!

Well, it runs slower than all the Intel CPUs, the 7700k is up to 4.5ghz. Though the 4770k is only 3.9ghz by default.

The RAM speed difference, dunno, not really that relevant for overall performance I'd imagine.
