AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Review: Faster than Core i9?

[waclark]

That‘s something many of us would have liked to see ever since 8C Ryzen 1000 were released and AMD consistently had a core count advantage.

Not sure how reviewers could start including this in their reviews with a straight face now. That said, I would welcome this and reviewers should also run these tests on older gen processors.

It would definitely be a different set of tests. Understanding what the GPU can do in the game is valuable, but understanding real-world use is also valuable. Most gamers I know are, at a minimum, running discord and one or two other applications while gaming.

There was actually one review that I remember for second gen Threadripper (it was posted on Adoredtv) where the reviewer said ‚this CPU has tons of cores, let‘s test what happens if we run several applications at the same time‘.

Loved the review as it did a great job of showing what many cores allow you to do (e.g. run a full speed compile job while gaming at the same time) outside of MT workloads. But this was the only one.

These tests seem kinda weird. 7800x not even in the picture.

Beating 7950x in some multithreaded tests. I think I saw different sequences.

Weird.

I was able to overclock my 7700x to 5.650 with ai overclocking on air Noctua D15 cooler fyi.

I am glad I waited a little bit. I was able to get the 7700x on sale for 340 so a tremendous value at that price.

Hello! I love reading comments here, but your comment was so intriguing that I registered an techspot account just to ask you (Irata) this:

can you please help us find that multitasking review on Adoredtv that you mentioned?

multitasking benchmarks with lots of differing programs running at once are always fun and interesting. and insightful!

Thank you Steve, as usual a superb and unbiased review.

TLDR version:

HUB's results are very different from all others though. only site where 13700k loses to 7700x in gaming. loses by 20% at times on others.

"But this was the only one." <---- can you please find it?

Concerning multitasking benchmarks, I found via google search that TechSpot themselves actually did test this last year:

6 Cores vs. 8 Cores: Does It Matter?
By Steven Walton July 17, 2022

as it turns out, 8 cores doesnt' matter
