Leaked AMD Ryzen 7 1700X vs i7 6800K Benchmarked In 13 Games & Power Consumption.

Unless i've missed it somewhere i presume the 1700x and 6800k are at stock? Bear in mind the 6800k only boosts to 3.7ghz (i think). Until we know how well the 1700x OC's it's going to be damn close.

It'll always win the multi thread battle with 2 extra cores but i think the 1700x and 6800k are near identical except core count, price and power draw :P

The CPU's were run at the same clocks. 1700x should perform better when at stock clocks.

CPU: Intel Core i7 6800K frequency: 3.4 GHz
MOBO : ASUS STRIX X99 GAMING
MEMORY: 16GB DDR4-2400 (should be dual channel)
GPU: RX 480 8G 1266/2000 8GB GDDR5 (Crimson 17.2.1)
BIOS: 1401
OS: Win10 64bit

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X frequency: 3.4 GHz
MOBO: ASUS PRIME X370-PRO
MEMORY: 16GB DDR4-2133
GPU: RX 480 8G 1266/2000 8GB GDDR5 ( Crimson 17.2.1)
BIOS : 404

They should have stuck a atleast a gtx 1080 in there, the 480 in the gaming scenarios is the bottleneck. Ryzen is looking very good, just want to see some full on reviews and numbers.
 
To be honest I was looking at getting 7700k as I mainly game with my system and although I do a small amount of home video editing and use handbrake to trans-code videos for my NAS these are not time critical and I often just leave the computer to it (i5 2500k). Some of the leaks have made me really interested in Ryzen gaming performance vs i7 7700k full reviews. As it might not be as black and white as I thought with clock speed and any IPC benefits of the Intel system over Ryzen giving it the edge in gaming. At the same approximate cost the 1700 chip looks very appealing!

So if you ignore the fact it's 40% of the price of a comparable Intel chip, and ignore the reasons people go for 6-8 core chips then it doesn't look good? /shock.

The leaked pricing of the R5 1600X is $259.99 which will be around £260ish and it has the same clockspeeds as the R7 1800X and is a 6C part like the Core i7 6800K.

The cheapest Intel 8C is the Core i7 6900K which is £1000. The R7 1700X 8C is less than 40% of the price of the Core i7 6900K.
 
Ah, OK - I just searched OcUK for the two chips in the OP's comparison chart. Thanks.

This is why some people are happy and some people are sad.
It's like AMD set the pricing of these chips back when they only thought they would get a 40% IPC improvement.

I have a 3770K with a 970GTX and mostly play World of Warcraft, as this game still not truely multithreaded it prefers faster single core than multiple cores, so will be interesting to see how Ryzen will compare in this way

No it doesnt. Not in comparison to more recent i7's.

Most games, yes. Not all/any.

It's not about how it does vs Kabylake i7s. It's about whether or not you get 60 fps and stable frametimes. So yes, it's still gonna eat through any game available right now.

Look at it like this. If your car does a million miles per hour, but the other one does a hundred, and all roads you can drive on have a 40 mph limit, how are you better off? Same thing here. People too often forget the basics and focus on pie charts.
