Overclocking Ryzen 7 1700 vs 1700X vs 1800X

Overclocking at Equal Voltages

Knowing that all of these processors are identical and come from the same manufacturing line, we have to ask whether there’s any real reason to splurge on the highest-end model. To that end, we compared their base frequencies and maximum overclock with all eight cores under load. The memory was set to 3200 MT/s, and all of the other BIOS settings were left at their defaults.

Model	Frequency (MHz)	Voltage (V)	Temperature (°C)
Ryzen 7 1700	3200	1. 07	35
Ryzen 7 1700X	3500	1.16	52 / 32
Ryzen 7 1800X	3700	1.23	58 / 38

The «entry-level» Ryzen 7 1700 seems to have an advantage, given a base core voltage of 1.07V (compared to the 1.16 and 1.23 volts measured on the pricier chips). Temperature is affected by the Vcore of course, but our comparison is made imprecise by AMD’s offsets.

We applied the recommended -20°C offset, but again, we’re reminded that the correction isn’t perfect. The discrepancy between the reported and real values isn’t constant. It changes as a function of multiple parameters. Applying this offset gets us closer to the right temperature, but it isn’t guaranteed to be accurate.

Model	Frequency (MHz)	Voltage (V)	Temperature (°C)
Ryzen 7 1700 OC	3975	1. 35	45
Ryzen 7 1700X OC	3950	1.35	63 / 43
Ryzen 7 1800X OC	4050	1.35	66 / 46

While the 1800X has a clear base advantage, the difference diminishes after overclocking. If tuning your CPU doesn’t scare you, we recommend going for the Ryzen 7 1700 in light of its more attractive price.

Performance

The Ryzen 7 1700 serves as our baseline. Operating at just 3200 MHz (across eight cores), it obtains a score of 1438 points in Cinebench R15. That’s a long way from the Ryzen 7 1800X’s 1640 points. Given the 1800X’s 500 MHz advantage, though, we don’t have a difficult time explaining the 14% performance difference.

Overclocked, that delta disappears. Our Ryzen 7 1700 even beats the 1700X. Of course, you can expect overclocking results to vary from one CPU to another, as we mentioned in our Kaby Lake overclocking test.

The 1800X maintains a less-than 2% lead over AMD’s Ryzen 7 1700. It is quite astonishing that the 1700X achieves a lower score; this cannot be explained simply by a lower frequency. Even at the same clock rate, our 1700X sample consistently fares worse than the 1700.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Overclocked To 4GHz On All 8 Cores

AMD’s most affordable Ryzen 7 8-core CPU has been overclocked to 4GHz on all 8 cores. With decent motheboards and cooling this $329 chip is said to be capable of outperforming the flagship $499 Ryzen 7 1800X and Intel’s $1050 i7 6900K.

OCUK staffer «Gibbo» reports successfully overclocking a retail Ryzen 7 1700 processor with an ASUS Crosshair VI Hero motherboard to 4.05GHz on all 8 cores. With this overclock the CPU would effectively be running 450MHz higher than the Ryzen 7 1800X flagship, which is very impressive considering the huge price delta between the two chips as well as the low 65W TDP of the 1700. «Gibbo» estimates, based on his results, that the 1800X should be able to hit 4.3GHz on all 8 cores.

We just tested a 1700, it hit 4.0GHz stable in everything, but ONLY in the Crosshair mainboard, the lower-end boards it was hovering around 3. 80GHz as the VRM’s were cooking with extra voltage. It however was maxing around 4050MHz, so I’d say 1700 can do 3.9-4.1GHz, of course the 1800X will probably do 4.1-4.3 as no doubt better binned, but if your clocking the motherboard has a big impact on the overclock and so far Asus Crosshair and Asrock Taichi seem the best two.

Gibbo confirmed in a later comment that this overclock was achieved with a 240mm Asetek built liquid cooler, which is similar to the popular Corsair h200i.

Ryzen’s Secret Weapon — Squeezing $1000+ Performance Out Of A $330 8-Core Ryzen 7 1700 With Overclocking

Overclocking is a huge deal with Ryzen because each chip is unlocked. Allowing users to extract more performance out of any Ryzen chip they choose to buy. Making the value proposition considerably more attractive for any person willing to do it.

Ryzen’s instructions per clock are significantly higher than anything AMD ever had before. In fact, according to the latest benchmarks Ryzen offers even better single-threaded performance/clock than Intel’s Kaby Lake.

This in turn means that increasing the frequencies even by a little bit can make a huge difference. At 4.05GHz on all 8-cores an overclocked Ryzen 7 1700 effectively outperforms every other desktop 8-core CPU on the market. Including Intel’s $1000+ Haswell-E and Broadwell-E i7 5960X and i7 6900K.

To make overclocking easier and more accessible than ever before AMD is introducing its own in-house overclocking utility called Ryzen Master. The new application gives users a simple to use fine-grained level of control with a host of features that include :

Per Core Clock Adjustment For All Ryzen Chips
Enable / Disable / Set Core Count (0/2/4/6/8 as per needed)
Step Size: +25 ~ +50 MHz increments for Non-X and +100 ~ +200 MHz increments for X series chips (TBC)
CPU Voltage Adjustment
MEM VDDIO Voltage Adjustment
MEM VTT Voltage Adjustment (IMC)
VDDCR SOC (PCH Voltage Adjustment)
CAS Latency Adjustment
Row Precharge Delay (15 bus clock @ standard)
RAS Active Time (36 bus clock @ standard)
Read Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock @ standard)
Write Row-Column Delay (15 bus clock @ standard)

Ryzen’s Clock Speeds Will Only Get Better With Time

One thing that we shouldn’t fail to mention is that all of the results we’re seeing, including the record breaking performance of an overclocked Ryzen 1800X is only the tip of the iceberg. These chips are fresh off the production line and how high they can clock will only get better as the 14nm LPP process AMD is using matures. It’s impressive enough that the company can already get its first ever 14nm CPU iteration to hit 4.0GHz straight out of the gate. It took Intel several years before its 14nm process was mature enough to produce quad-core CPUs that can hit 4.0GHz, let alone 8-core chips.

We won’t know how far the Ryzen 7 1700, 1700X and 1800X can overclock until more people get their hands on them which shouldn’t be too long, as they’ll ship to buyers on March 2nd and the embargo on reviews will end on the same day. How much variability we’re going to see from one chip to the other is going to be very interesting to see. AMD has already shipped over one million Ryzen processors to meet the pre-order demand and when you have one million of anything there’s bound to be some degree of variability. Once we get our own Ryzen chip in the lab we’re going to run it through its paces, so stay tuned!

Done! The first processors of the AMD Ryzen line went on sale, and with them the embargo on the publication of independent testing results ended. And today we will independently evaluate the capabilities of the 8-core (16-thread) processor AMD Ryzen 7 1700X , so the most impatient can jump straight to the second page of the review for the test results. If you want to start by brushing up on the key advantages of the line and the features of the microarchitecture, then we offer a short theoretical digression.

A bit of history and a look at the key features

AMD started the development of a new processor microarchitecture back in the distant (by IT industry standards) 2012. A high-class professional, Jim Keller, was invited especially for this. He was involved in the creation of the AMD K7 microarchitecture and served as the lead architect for the AMD K8, and then joined Apple, where he led the Apple A4 and Apple A5 chips. From 2012 to 2015, the development of AMD Zen was carried out in the strictest confidence, and only in the second half of 2015 was it announced to the general public. In August 2016, the official presentation of the AMD Zen microarchitecture took place with the designation of some advantages. In December last year, AMD Ryzen desktop processors based on it were announced. At the end of February, the high-performance AMD Ryzen 7 series debuted, and only at the beginning of March did they go on sale.

All this time, AMD and unofficial sources have fueled interest in the new microarchitecture and processors based on it, because the presence of real competition in the market always has a beneficial effect on the price / performance ratio of end products. The AMD Zen microarchitecture itself was created with a focus on versatility, so that later it can be used both in energy-efficient mobile processors and in powerful server solutions. And this, you see, is a very difficult task.

To implement it, Jim Keller and his team decided to move away from the CMT (Clustered MultiThreading) approach used in AMD Bulldozer and return to the more popular and efficient SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading). By the way, SMT is actively used by Intel. Secondly, the developers decided not to make the mistakes of the previous structure and endowed each core with all the necessary computing units in order to have competitive performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded modes.

At the heart of any AMD Zen microarchitecture processor is the CPU Complex (CCX) module. It includes four processor cores, each of which has at its disposal 512 KB of L2 cache. In turn, the L3 cache is divided into eight parts (1 MB each), and all cores have access to it. Accordingly, 8-core processors are obtained by integrating two CCX modules in one package, so they offer 4 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. 6-core processors are also obtained by combining two CCX modules, but they have two cores disabled, so the L2 cache will be only 3 MB, and L3 will be the same 16 MB. If 2-core models appear, they will have 1 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache.

In this case, each processor core can process two data streams, and each CCX module can process eight streams. Accordingly, we are promised 8-core (16-thread), 6-core (12-thread), 4-core (8-thread) and 4-core (4-thread) models.

In general, the AMD Zen microarchitecture promises more than 40% increase in IPC (Instruction Per Clock). Here is just a small list of improvements that AMD engineers have implemented to achieve this figure:

Improved branch prediction accuracy.
The operation cache has been increased.
The number of instruction schedulers has been increased (from 48 to 84 for integer calculations, from 60 to 96 for real calculations).
Allowed L1 cache to operate in «Write back» instead of «Write-through» mode. In the first case, the data is written to the cache memory, and later duplicated to the main memory. In the second, the write occurs in the main memory with duplication in the cache. The «Write back» mode provides better performance when working with cache memory.
Increased L1 instruction cache size to 64 KB/core (AMD Excavator has 96 KB per dual-core module).
Increased L2 cache size to 512 KB/core with 8 associativity channels.
The throughput of L1 and L2 caches has almost doubled.
L3 cache throughput increased by almost 5 times.
Faster loading of information into FPUs from 9 to 7 cycles.
A number of new instructions have been added, as well as much more.

AMD Ryzen 7 Launch

Ahead of the debut of the Ryzen 7 series, AMD hosted a special press briefing with some interesting details worth your attention. First of all, emphasis was placed on the excellent multi-threaded performance of the new CPUs. In particular, the flagship of the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X series was 9% ahead of the Intel Core i7-6900K and was 66% better than the Intel Core i7-7700K. Now multithreading is actively used in 3D rendering, VR, video processing, virtualization, game streaming, etc.

As for performance in single-threaded mode, at the same clock speed (3.5 GHz), both competitors from Intel are ahead: by 2.7% and 6.5%, respectively. If we compare their performance at stock frequencies, then the Intel Core i7-6900K is on par with the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, and the Intel Core i7-7700K is 15% ahead. It is curious that AMD did not hide such results, but played ahead of independent reviews and honestly pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of AMD Ryzen.

In general, AMD has identified the following competitors for its first processors: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X ($499) vs. Intel Core i7-6900K ($1089 — 1109), AMD Ryzen 7 1700X ($399) will try to steal buyers from the Intel Core i7-6800K ($434-441) and the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 ($349) will have to take on the Intel Core i7-7700K ($339-350).

The decoding of the names of AMD Ryzen processors looks very curious. The first digit after the brand indicates the segment: «7» — solutions for enthusiasts, «5» — high-performance, «3» — mainstream level. The next number means generation. That is, the next generation flagship could be the AMD Ryzen 7 2800X. Further, one digit indicates the performance level: «7» or «8» — chips for enthusiasts, «6», «5» or «4» — high-performance solutions. The mainstream level has not yet been announced, so we will find out their numbers later, but according to preliminary information, these will be «1», «2» and «3». The last two digits allow the release of additional models that will differ slightly in terms of performance. For example, AMD Ryzen 7 1720X and AMD Ryzen 7 1750X processors may well appear, which in terms of performance and price will be between AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1800X. The last letter indicates energy efficiency. For example, «X» indicates high-performance chips, «G» will appear in the name of desktop models with integrated graphics core, «T» indicates energy-efficient desktop solutions, and «S» indicates energy-efficient desktop chips with integrated graphics. For mobile counterparts, the suffixes «H» (high-performance), «U» (standard) and «M» (energy efficient) are provided.

AMD SenseMI technology was first introduced to us at the AMD New Horizon event in December, but the presentation of the AMD Ryzen 7 series processors could not do without mentioning it. Recall that it includes five components:

Neural Net Prediction — an artificial intelligence neural network learns to predict the future path of the program code based on previous runs, which allows you to optimize the location of data and ensure optimal use of processor functionality;
Smart Prefetch — advanced algorithms study the behavior of programs to predict their further actions and quickly prepare the necessary data;
Pure Power — More than 100 high-precision built-in sensors provide real-time readings of voltage, temperature and power for optimal energy efficiency at every moment;
Precision Boost — monitors on-board sensors and instantly optimizes clock speed in 25 MHz steps for maximum performance;
Extended Frequency Range (XFR) — Increases the dynamic Precision Boost frequency to improve performance when the system uses a cooler with sufficient headroom.

AMD’s flagship Ryzen 7 1800X illustrates the impact AMD SenseMI components have on dynamic CPU clock speeds. Its base speed is 3.6 GHz. In dynamic mode, the frequency of all 8 cores can only rise up to 3.7 GHz, depending on the load level. More than 2 cores at the same time (but not all 8) can increase their speed to 4.0 GHz thanks to Precision Boost technology — this is the declared dynamic frequency threshold in the characteristics of this model. And only one core can briefly increase its speed by another 100 MHz (up to 4.1 GHz), if the cooling system copes with the increasing heat dissipation. This is the merit of XFR technology. In turn, Pure Power technology is responsible for reducing the frequency to improve energy efficiency. Since monitoring captures the state of the processor every millisecond, this allows you to quickly change the frequency in 25 MHz steps, which ensures maximum efficiency in the use of CPU resources.

It was previously assumed that the presence of the «X» suffix in the name of the processor indicates support for XFR technology. However, it is not. It’s just that these models have a higher TDP, which allows you to increase clock frequencies and a thermal corridor for XFR up to 100 MHz. In turn, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 model operates at lower speeds, and with the help of XFR it can raise the frequency of a single core by only 50 MHz above the maximum dynamic frequency. The same will be true for other representatives of the AMD Ryzen line.

Several slides were devoted to new chipsets (AMD X370, AMD B350, AMD A320, AMD X300 and AMD A300). We will talk more about the functional differences between them when considering the corresponding motherboards. It is also worth noting here that the overclocking capability of the representatives of the AMD Ryzen line (all processors have an unlocked multiplier) is provided by the AMD X370, AMD B350 and AMD X300 models. The first two are designed to build conventional desktop systems, and the third is designed specifically for compact PCs (SFF — Small Form Factor).

To facilitate overclocking of AMD Ryzen CPUs, a special utility has been created — AMD Ryzen Master Utility. It allows you to modify the frequency of individual cores, voltage and parameters of RAM. There are also several profiles for storing and quickly activating optimal settings.

The new processors will be able to use DDR4 RAM. When four modules are connected in dual-channel mode, their frequency should not exceed 1866 MHz for dual-rank brackets and 2133 MHz for single-rank ones. If you focus on only two modules in dual-channel mode, then their maximum frequencies can be 2400 and 2667 MHz, respectively.

Select AMD Ryzen lineups will ship with AMD Wraith Max, AMD Wraith Spire, and AMD Wraith Stealth coolers. They are designed for processors with a TDP of 65 and 95 W, and also boast great acoustic comfort (from 28 to 38 dBA). Two of them also use a new fastening mechanism.

And this is what the package design of the new processors looks like. Larger boxes include one of the brand’s updated cooling systems, while smaller versions of the package come without it.

At the end of the presentation, AMD demonstrated the performance graphs of AMD Ryzen 7 series CPUs with their competitive counterparts in synthetic and gaming benchmarks. As you can see, the novelties feel great in synthetics, showing a higher performance / price ratio.

In games they are almost on an equal footing (with a variable advantage of the sides). However, they are great for multitasking, for example, when you need to stream a demanding game in high definition. Therefore, in terms of effective investment in building a gaming configuration, they are also ahead, according to AMD’s internal tests. Let’s see if we get similar results with an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 1700X processor.

Customer Reviews of AMD RYZEN 7 1700

Processor for desktop personal computers based on the AMD platform. Instruction in Russian (user manual) included.

June 29, 2019 Product review: AMD RYZEN 7 processor 1700

just a bare cpu, without packaging

June 22, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

I want to add to the comment, just yesterday I wrote that the mother of the GIGABYTE B450M S2H stably holds 3333, as when playing the witcher in one scene, the game started to crash, I had to reduce the frequency to 3200 MHz and the scene passed without a crash . In general, the mother keeps the maximum declared 3200.

Advantages: For its price in comparison with the 2nd series, I think a worthy percent! Works in conjunction with GIGABYTE B450M S2H at a frequency of 3850 all the same, the mother is the cheapest and there is only one radiator. Immediately put a good cooler at 150W. temperature does not exceed 60 gr. even now in the heat. The mother is heated to 70gr. The hottest is vidyuha strix vega64 up to 80g. This mother keeps the kven crasx 3200 memory stable at 3333 on 16-18-18-38.

June 19, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

Considering the prices, everyone is satisfied!

Advantages: 1. Price-performance 2. Potential 3. If you know how to overclock, you get a very good option 4. Universal processor (games) 5. Heats up adequately 6. All AMD processors have an unlocked multiplier 7. Easier overclocking than overclocking FX-s

Disadvantages: 1. Without overclocking, for games, the maximum that you can put to it is GTX 1060 (maybe 1070) 2. Requires high-frequency memory, because the Infinite Fabric bus is extremely voracious on it. At low memory frequencies, poor results. (I recommend memory from 2666 MHz and higher) 3. It does not work with XMP memory profiles for Intel processors, or it works crookedly (or the board is like that). 4. It seems to overestimate the real temperature by 10 degrees. If you look at the sensors, remember this. 5. The old cooler will not work. Only coolers designed for AM4. 6. In old games (as well as in some titles that are not optimized for multithreading like GTA 5), it is a little uncomfortable to play at stock frequencies (even on 1050Ti), it’s a must to drive!

May 20, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

Before this processor, there was an Intel engineering processor on Skylake, it performed well in games, but after switching to RTX 2070, everything rested on the percentage so much that it began to freeze. I bought this Ryzen, it merges the previous processor without overclocking, but starting from 3.8-3.9 GHz (the 1700th ryzen takes such frequencies in 99 percent of cases even on a boxed buzzer) it turns out to be a good gaming processor. As a result, the FPS is about the same as it was on Intel-e (in the same battle 5, 110-120, FPS), but the frame time is much smoother, and the friezes are gone and there is a margin for the processor for streaming or a movie on the second monitor for example. I had to suffer with its overclocking due to the fact that this is my first AMD processor since Duron in 2006 (sort of). As a result, it seems to have debugged the percent, it works fine. Board on X470 Summing up, I draw the following conclusion: You know how to drive, you won’t regret it! But in general, life is good on average GPUs even without overclocking. Take the main memory with high frequencies under it and preferably Dual Rank. And in no case do I advise you to take memory with ONE bar. Dual Channel would be better. By the way, I’ll tell you a secret … To make the declared 3.7 GHz available, download Ryzen Master and turn on GameMode (although it will ask for a reboot, and then it will crash if it reboots again). And take at least B350-B450 chipset for it. There will be no overclocking on A chipsets, and the VRM will heat up like an iron, and the CPU will reset the low stock frequencies.

Advantages: is colder than Intel, if you want to stream or process video, take it definitely chasing with motherboards the situation is better than that of Intel

Disadvantages: Intel has more interesting solutions (but also twice as expensive), we are waiting for the summer

May 3, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

if you stream, your choice, if not ryzen 1600, if top build, i7, 8700k or 9600

Advantages: -price / quality -not bad chases -cold -good performance when processing video — no problems when streaming with the simultaneous launch of several programs, a browser with 4-5 tabs

Flaws: — no at this price

April 29, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

The best processor in this price category, if you take into account not only games, but also work processes. Like all ryzens, the bus speed depends on the memory frequency, the higher the frequency, the greater the performance, respectively

Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

To be honest, I don’t know why I took it. Because In principle, 4770 also suited me, in those games that I mainly play go to high, I never set ultra, because I don’t see the difference. Probably a new platform.

Advantages: Many cores, cold, not expensive for its segment. Before that, I was sitting on an intel 4770, I decided to try AMD. So far everything seems to be ok.

Disadvantages: For boh they ask for 1.5r more than for oem.

March 10, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

The best for the money 100 percent, take it, they will be gone soon, there is a sale of leftovers.

Pros: 8 cores 16 threads ! Chasing the frequency of the nuclei up!

Disadvantages: No built-in graphics core!

January 29, 2019 Product review: Processor AMD RYZEN 7 1700

I advise

Advantages: Excellent processor for its shekels, many cores, many running tasks at the same time, percent cold, only Battlefield 1 warms up to 71 degrees and then in peaks, on average 63, in KS: GO 53-54, in PUBG 55-57. stands under GAMMAX 300 overclocking 3.7GHZ, 1.3v Paired with SSD and 16Gb RAM the plane, do not listen to people who say that the processor is not gaming, calmly pulls all the latest news without tension, easily holds a bunch of browser tabs, games, assistants, without stuttering, programs. There are nuances with the settings, you need to turn off the energy savers in the BIOS, set up a power plan, but you only need to do it once and you will have a nice increase in games. and in particular microfreezes, caught in dota 2 before optimization. Yes, AMD is not as licked as Intel, so that it can immediately be installed and worked as it should without unnecessary dancing, although overclockers also dance with Intel overclocking, I’m not a fan of camps, but in my opinion 8 cores, 16 threads for 14700 are very tasty, given the fact that Ryzen 7, 2700 starts at 20k. Gamers will have to spend 10 minutes in BIOS, and for simple work,
