In the case of the 8 core, 2 CCX package Ryzen 7 CPUs, this this works out to be 768KB of L1 cache in total, 4MB of L2 cache and 16MB of 元 Cache. The cache is broken down as a 64KB for Level 1 instruction and data with 512KB dedicated L2 cache per core then an 8MB shared 元 cache that is accessible by all 4 cores of the CCX package. Ryzen 7 has Simultaneous Multi-Threading (two threads per physical core) with some intelligent cache and prefetch instructions. This is why the Ryzen Master application requires cores to be disabled in pairs and not individually.ĭDR4 Memory support is identical across all 3 CPUs and rated up to 2667MHz and Dual Channel but we are already seeing motherboard manufacturers push the envelope here and there have been several BIOS updates from the board manufacturers to improve memory compatibility. Each CCX package contains 4cores/8 threads – AMD have incorporated 2 CCX packages with a shared cache. Ryzen is built on a 14nm manufacturing process. The price is also more appealing and on the face of the specifications represents the potential for a real bargain. I had our review sample 1700 CPU running at 3.9GHz without any dramas or stability issues with 1.3v. The key thing to note here is that all of the Ryzen 7 CPUs are unlocked so you can overclock them or force a constant speed if you want to tinker. It’s important to note that whilst the ‘X’ processors have the ability to extend themselves a little further on one core with decent cooling using the Extended Frequency Range (XFR). The 1700 has stock operating frequencies of 3.0GHz-3.7GHz whilst the 1700X is clocked at 3.4-3.8GHz and the 1800X at 3.6-4.0GHz.

The TDP of Ryzen 7 1800X and 1700X is 95W but the lower clocked 1700 is only 65W which is great for people wanting a quiet system that generates less heat. It doesn’t have the Extended Frequency Range (XFR) that automatically increases the boost clock on a single core where a system builder has incorporated superior cooling and/or a performance-grade motherboard. On first glance, the 1700 looks like the runt of the litter.

The above table shows the 3 different AMD Ryzen 7 CPUs. We made up the rest of the test system with other review sample components that you will see listed in the test system spec. Our AMD supplied test platform included a R圜PU with Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 motherboard and EK-XLC Predator 240mm liquid cooler.

The R圜PU is the lowest priced offering in the Ryzen 7 series and as the most economical 8 core / 16 threaded option I was really keen to see what it offered in terms of performance. This holds true for streamers who need their rig to be able to both play the game and simultaneously convert/stream the content to an audience. Whilst the graphics card almost always determines the immersion, no gamer wants to be bottlenecked by their CPU. Gaming engines are also more sophisticated in 2017 with heavier graphics, physics and data files. This shift from content consumption to content creation is likely to increase the demand for CPUs with more than the standard 4 cores. With more community-based support for creative applications via tutorials, forums and instructional videos, anyone can try their hand at creating and/or sharing content as long as they have the necessary processing power at a hardware level.

YouTube, Game streaming, game creation and other digital arts are becoming more popular with software tools being made easier to learn, more freely available and able to utilise multiple CPU cores. Times have changed since the previous Bulldozer generation of AMD CPUs – the gaming community have a wider range of needs with more consumers becoming ‘creators’.
