AMD Ryzen Benchmarks: Ryzen 7 1700X Beats Core i7 6800K in 9 out of 13 Games Tested

An early Chinese review of AMD’s Ryzen 7 1700X has hit the web. The review pits AMD’s next-gen CPU against its Intel’s price equivalent counterpart, the Core i7 6800K, in 13 different games as well as includes the very first power consumption figures for Ryzen.

The Ryzen 7 1700X benchmarks showcase the $399 CPU outperforming $420 direct competitor, whilst offering two more cores, four more threads, higher clock speeds and a lower TDP. This is pretty impressive isn’t it?

Before we move to the performance figures, I want to mention that these results are by no means official as the embargo on reviews hasn’t been lifted yet.

The Ryzen 7 1700X beat the i7 6800K in 9 out of 13 games tested. The Zen based SKU couldn’t outpace its rival in Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, while in other two games it did output higher average frame rates but lower minimum rates.

The 1700X’s lead in gaming benchmarks is indeed great, but what impressed us more is the noticeable gap in TDPs with the CPU delivering more performance at 25-30% less power. Let’s hope we see similar benchmark results when official reviews surface on March 2nd.

AMD will start selling its new Ryzen 7 processors in early March. The first Ryzen shipment batch would entail over one million processors. The release includes three models, the Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X and 1700, priced at US$499, US$399 and US$329, respectively.
