AMD RYZEN 7 1700X Benchmarks Show Strong Performance

We have more leaks today with regards to AMD’s much-anticipated Ryzen CPUs and this time it involves several leaked benchmarks that show how the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X processor performs. For starters, the Ryzen 7 1700X has 8 cores, 16 threads that are running at a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 3.8 GHz in a 95W TDP power envelope. This isn’t going to be the flagship Ryzen processor, but looks like it will be the a good value for around $400 USD.

The most recent leaked benchmark test results come from Xfastest.com, which has benchmark scores from Cinebench, CPUMark and 3DMark Firestrike Physics.

The results posted on Xfastest show that the Ryzen 7 1700X Processor scored 1537 in the multiple-CPU test and 154 points in the single core test with the DDR4 memory running at a paltry 2166MHz. We also aren’t 100% certain what the clock speeds really were running at or if AMD’s XFR was enabled properly on the board that they were testing on. What do these rough results mean? Let’s take a look at our own Cinebench results from our 2017 test suite that we just started using last month that has 11 processors charted.

As you can see the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X has pretty impressive overall CPU performance as the 1537 score in the multi-CPU test scored just behind the Intel Core i7-6900K in our testing. The benchmark results of the Ryzen 7 1700X in the single-CPU test was 154 points and while that isn’t super impressive it is a big jump up seen on the AMD FX-9590 CPU that was only able to score 113 points in the single test and 717 points in the multiple CPU test. AMD fans will be super excited about the 54% performance over a stock Intel Core i7-7700k ‘Kaby Lake’ processor (996 Cinebench) for about $50 more (15% price increase). We’ll hold off on the IPC talk until we can show you are own benchmark numbers with the DDR4 memory running at 3000MHz like most of the platforms were running in our test results.

In 3DMark Fire Strike the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X scored 17,916 points.

If we drop that number into our performance chart that would put it just ahead of the Intel Core i7-7700K overclocked up to 5.1 GHz (16,331 points) and below a stock Intel Core i7-6900K processor (19,909 points). These are pretty solid benchmark scores considering that the old AMD FX series processors in our charts (FX-8370 & FX-9590) were basically in last place and couldn’t even keep up with an Intel Core i7-2700K ‘Sandy Bridge’ processor.

The last benchmark result that XFastest has was CPUMark, which is a benchmark we don’t use, where the 1700X scored 583 points.

Impressive numbers and the hype train rolls on!
