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.

I wonder why Bioshock did so poorly. Most of the other results don't really surprise me, when you consider the 1700X is dual channel while the Intel systems are triple.

There are hardly any games out there that can take advantage of 16 threads. Most hardly can take advantage of 8. So yeah, the 1700X is a poor choice for gamers, but I already knew that before seeing benchmarks for it.

The website is down here.
EDIT: People are disappointed because the CPU is slower than all the archaic sh*t they tested? The only title with any meaningful difference for Intel was Bioshock Infinite which is using a modified Unreal Engine 3.0. Even in Firestrike 2013 (a four year old title), the 1700x wrecks everything from Intel except the ten-core CPU.
I'm waiting for Hilbert's tests which I actually do know will be much more all around.

From Iran? Aren't they under all kinds of blockades and embargoes?

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.
