The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X has a base speed of 3.6 GHz and turbo speed of 4.0 GHz with a 16MB L3 cache. It can go up to more than 4.0 GHz, but it will all depend on the cooling department of the CPU. The best CPU in the AMD Ryzen family will reportedly be available for $499.
On the other hand, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X will have a slightly slower clock speed. The base speed is set at 3.4 GHz, while the turbo speed is slated at 3.8 GHz and possibly faster depending on the cooling system. This processor, which also has a 16MB L3 cache, will reportedly be available for $389.
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X have impressed a lot of analysts after an alleged benchmark surfaced online. This variant was compared to the best processors of Intel available on the market like the Core i7-6900K. The benchmark showed eight tests, including floating point performance, SSE performance and physics, WCCF Tech revealed.
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X reportedly topped 5 of the 8 tests that were performed. Aside from its gaming capabilities, the new AMD Ryzen 7 chips will likely appeal to the enterprise and server markets.
Meanwhile, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 has a base speed of 3.0 GHz and turbo speed of 3.7 GHz. Unlike the 1800X and 1700X that has a 95W thermal design power, the 1700 variant has a 65W TDP. The price will reportedly be set at $319 when it becomes available on the market.
