5/27/2023 0 Comments 7700k cinebenchI use Premiere Pro almost on a daily basis so I directly relate. Moving on we have a benchmark that's of particular importance to creators and video editors. Not a massive difference but after seeing the Cinebench R20 multicore test, this isn't the result you might have expected. WinRAR is more about memory bandwidth and latency than it is cores and as a result the 7700K is ~8% faster in this particular workload. This gives the Intel CPU a significant advantage in lightly threaded workloads. The Core i7-7700K is 22% faster out of the box and when overclocked. Here's the other side of the story: single core performance. Still when fully utilized it's clear the 7700K is no match for the 1800X. Out of the box the 8-core processor is an impressive 55% faster, though it has the advantage of doubling up on core count, of course. Here we have the multithreaded performance and despite a rather large clock speed deficit we see Ryzen has no trouble stepping all over the Core i7 processor. Starting off this session we have Cinebench R20 which has always been good at showing the two tales of Ryzen. We've tested 9 games at two resolutions, stock and overclocked, along with a few application benchmarks. That was our reasoning and it shouldn't bother you too much one way or the other as long as both CPUs were tested with the exact same memory. On the memory front we debated internally about using the expensive low-latency Samsung B-Die stuff, and ultimately decided to use G.Skill's FlareX DDR4-3200 CL14 memory for a few reasons: these aren't budget processors, so spending a bit extra on the memory isn't out of the question and second, we're testing CPU gaming performance with an RTX 2080 Ti to remove the CPU bottleneck, so why would we do that and then limit performance by using slower system memory. The R7 1700 typically hit 4 GHz and thus should deliver the exact same overclocked performance that you'll see today from the 1800X. As part of our test we're also overclocking both Core i7 and Ryzen 7 processors. To be precise, the 1800X dropped to just $320 in the same year of its release, and has since dropped as low as $220. However it wasn't long before AMD executed some price cuts and the 1800X dropped down to roughly match the Core i7 processor. This made the Rya more direct competitor as it was priced at just $330. ![]() Upon release the 1800X carried an MSRP of $500 making it considerably more expensive than the Core i7-7700K at $340. The 95 watt TDP 1800X is a better Ryzen 7 representative, if we could only pick one. We're testing the 1800X and not the cheaper 1700 partly because we wanted to make it a one-on-one test and time was of the essence, thus we could only pick one Ryzen 7 processor. But before we get into it, some disclaimers. Today's shoot out is between the Ryzen 7 1800X and Core i7-7700K. With 3rd-gen Ryzen set to hit stores very soon, we're warming up to that launch by revisiting some heated CPU battles from the past couple of years that can bring further context to current owners of these processors.
