The first benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X place it among the most powerful on the market

A few days before its expected launch, wccftech has leaked several processor performance tests AMD Ryzen 7 1700X, a high-end model based on the architecture amd zen which, however, will not be the top of the range.

Still, this 8-core, 16-thread processor, if the leaked results are to be taken as true, puts an entire Intel Core i7-6900K in trouble That costs more than triple. And all this with a supposed engineering model limited to 3.4 GHz. Depending on the test, the results vary, although in general the performance of the 1700X remains among the most powerful processors on the market.

The performance both in multi-thread tests and in tests where only a single core enters is excellent and could mean a very important boost in the AMD processor division, being able to compete face to face with Intel and with a much more competitive price.

We will have to wait for the official launch of RYZEN to verify this data and see how far the power of this architecture reaches with the top of the range model: the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X.
