First benchmark of the AMD Ryzen 7 processor 2700X

Recently we saw the appearance of data of the new processor Ryzen 7 2700X. That is based on the Zen architecture of AMD. And a few days later we have the first samples of what is capable of making this new chip.

Ryzen 7 2700X shows excellent performance

Ryzen 7 2700X is a new processor based on the Zen architecture. Also, this is manufactured at 12 nm and reaches an eight-core configuration and sixteen processing threads at a maximum frequency of 4.35 GHz. So, thanks to the XFR and Precision Bost 2.0 technologies. It has been thanks to the guys from Hardware Battle that we can know the speed of operation of this new processor and its performance.

Already entering the performance of the new Ryzen 7 2700X, this has been compared with the Ryzen 7 1700X. The new chip has shown 11% faster concerning memory access latency, 30% faster in the L2 cache and 16% more quickly in the L3 cache. With this it is clear that AMD has improved the main weaknesses of the first generation Ryzen, it remains to be seen if it will be enough.

We continue with the performance mono-thread in Dhrystone Aggregated, here the Ryzen 7 2700X has been shown superior to the Core i9-7980XE, i7-8700K and Threadripper 1950X. Regarding the performance multi-thread, has been behind the previous except the Core i7-8700K which has managed to beat. Finally, 3DMark FireStrike Ultra has also been able to outperform the Core i7-8700K based on Intel’s Coffee Lake architecture.

These first data are quite promising for the Ryzen 7 2700X, despite this, it is better to remain calm and wait for the first official results to see the real improvement that AMD has achieved with the second generation of Ryzen.
