Ryzen 7 1700X vs Ryzen 7 2700 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700 performs better than the Ryzen 7 1700X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 1700X in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 2700 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 1700X thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
