Product ReviewsAMD Ryzen 7 - 3 GHz Octa-Core (YD1700BBAEBOX) Processor

Ryzen R7 1700

The best AMD has to offer. Can achieve the same results as the other x series by overclocking. Intel fan boys say this cpu can't play games well that is wrong by far. This cpu over clocked can handle anything you throw at it. 16 threads means you'll have the power to do anything and at less than half the price of intels why not? It may be around 10%-15%slower IPC but look at what you get. With 3200mhz ram it can easily match the 7700k performance in games and yes people play games at ultra settings not minimal! This processor is designed for 4k gaming. A production cpu like no other all at 65 watts tdp. The i7 7700k can't touch the multithreaded performance of this ryzen beast. 8 cores 16 threads. Hopefully Intel will learn from this. More cores is what consumers want and having a civil war with their own prices in the market is nonsensical. Buy this r7 and you won't regret it.Read full review...

Ryzen is reliable and Ryzen Performs!

I've used a Ryzen processor ever day since March 2017. With all due respect to Windows 10, I belive that either AMD Ryzen or Intel processors are fully capable of bringing out the best for the Windows Operating System.

Knowing that I can savely and productively run my professional non-linear + DaVinci Resolve Color Grading business on an AMD Ryzen is a dream come true for me. Quite frankly, it took a lot of hard work and a lot of money to find out just how little Intel developed their product line over the past 10 years. ** Not that Intel processors don't work. Not that I'm an expert on when to buy/sell a processor. **

Today, I'm confident that AMD Ryzen cusomters will benefit from incredible performance-to-value for the next 5 - 10 years. I also fully expect AMD to not create marketing hype that about the same processor model that's receiving an insignificant speed increment for years on end; while creating very little real-world benefit. To me, Intel is devaluing their own product line and devaluing their customers.

Four months have past working on an AMD Ryzen processor. Ryzen is reliable. Ryzen performs! In fact, the AMD Ryzen processor is excellent for professional post-production workflow. I'm absolutely grateful.Read full review...

Coming from a 3570k, this is a dream come true.

I loved me 3570k. It was my baby from 2012 that OC'd pretty well but never gave up on me through multiple PSU burn outs (bad luck) and video card upgrades. But it was time to lay the old dog to rest once I saw AMD coming back to fight Intel and actually make them have to innovate their CPU's again.

I can do whatever I want with this processor and then some honestly. Play PLAYERUNKNOWNS Battlegrounds while recording with OBS and watching youtube videos while I have 20+ chrome tabs open? Meh, not even breaking a sweat. It's amazing to see AMD come out of the gate swinging with a processor that runs like a 6900k but costs 1/3.

Give AMD a shot people, they're back and better than ever!Read full review...

Great price-performance cpu

I recently upgraded to this cpu from a core i5 3570 and boy does it perform better. With 8 cores and 16 threads, games usually don't even utilize half the performance. Later on, we should see better performance optimizations in game, however, this cpu blows away the competition in virtualization, video editing, and rendering due to it's many cores and threads. It is also easy to overclock to 3.8ghz+ out of the box thanks to the included wraith spire cooler. I keep mine at 3.7 just to be safe, but higher speeds are easily attainable. All in all, great cpu for price-performance. Would defiantpy recommend!Read full review...

Great new speed, even for non-gamers!

I build a new AMD based machine every five years, and waited a little longer to be able to use the new AM4 cpu socket as well as the new Ryzen cpu. One of the big pluses is its ability to handle DDR4 memory, which adds solid speed to graphics functions and screen images both of which are important in my work. The new processor runs really well without being overclocked, which I haven't done, wanting to keep everything running as cool as possible. I did in stall water cooling, just in case, but now I have a system that will be upgrade-able for many years to come. Read full review...

Amazing.

I use this for school as my VM machine, the 8 cores and 16 threads really help out to prevent the virtual OS from slowing down. For gaming it may not be the best compared to the other CPUs that have released now like the i5-8600k but performance is mainly limited by CPU frequency and the lack of core utilization in games, so hopefully in the future, the R7 1700 performs better when games start to use more and more cores. Also the cooler it comes with has an LED which is pretty cool to look at, especially at night (when you're not trying to sleeping). But overall I'm very satisfied with the performance of this CPU.Read full review...

AMD RYZEN 7 - EXCELLENT CPU - GREAT TO OVERCLOCK

THE FAN LOOK COOL WITH RED LIGHT GOING AROUND IT, THIS FAN IS QUIET,
YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR THESE OVERCLOCK FANS - THEY TEST IT OVERCLOCKING WITH THIS CPU ON YOUTUBE,
I JUST DON'T LIKE I ABOUT IT - WITH MY MB - I THOUGHT I WOULD STILL BE ABLE USE MY WINDOW 7 SYSTEM WITH IT - ASUS PRIME 370 MB WILL ONLY WORK WITH WINDOW 10 SYSTEM IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 7 IT WON'T WORK HIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO OTHER BRAND MOTHERBOARDS I THINK THIS CPU WILL ONLY WORK WITH WINDOWS 10.Read full review...

Works great

Gaming this chip is insane when put with a good gpu. Haven't edited any videos yet but i love this chip no complaints at all just waiting for more updates to boost ram clock speeds. Overall this chip is a beast and highly recommend it to anyone for any purpose.Read full review...

Great item, as described

Plays all games from Prepar3D to Battlefield 1 and Far Cry without issues at max settings with a gtx 1070 at 1080p. Lightning fast at winzip and no issues with multiple browser tabs. If you do both productive tasks and gaming, this is the CPU to buy. This CPU is better at gaming than i7-7700K is at productivity.Read full review...

Excellent

CPU is a great value very strong performance and added value with it's own cooler. The cooler looks great with RGB LED does not take up a lot of room and does cool properly even on my video encode with high load 8 CPU running at 70+ percent.Read full review...
