In gaming, however, Intel pulls ahead, though only by a smaller margin than before. If you're counting on doing some video editing or compiling one hell of an Excel spreadsheet, you're going to see firsthand a performance boost with the Ryzen 7 3700X. What this all means is that the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an excellent multi-threaded performer. However, in the single-core test the Ryzen 7 3700X did fall behind, only scoring 5,590 points to the 9900K's 6,333. In addition, the Ryzen 7 3700X scored 34,515 in Geekbench compared to the 9900K's 33,173 in the multi-core test. In Cinebench R15, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X got 2,087 points, next to the 1,873 scored by the Intel Core i9-9900K. This processor can keep up with even the Intel Core i9-9900K, a processor that considerably costs more and consumes more power, with its TDP of 95W. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has a 65W TDP, and with that fairly low amount of power, it's able to deliver quite a lot. Storage: 2TB Gigabyte Aorus M.2 SSD (NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4) Case: Corsair Crystal Series 570X RGB AMD Ryzen 7 3700X: PerformanceĬPU: 3.8Ghz AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-core, 36MB cache, up to 4.4GHz) In our own testing, the Aorus PCIe 4.0 SSD that AMD provided was able to get up to 4,996 MB/s sequential read speeds. Through this superior connection, NVMe SSDs are potentially up to 51% faster than their non-PCIe 4.0 peers. However, the way we look at it, SSDs are the real stars of the PCIe 4.0 show. When paired with an AMD Navi graphics card like the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or newer, you'll experience much better performance, thanks to increased bandwidth. The major addition to the 3rd Generation of Ryzen, however, is PCIe 4.0.

This GameCache isn't anything entirely new, but it does show that this will help boost gaming performance in some cases – especially in older 1080p esports games. This isn't nearly as much as you get with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, but it's still a lot.Įssentially, this processor has a grand total of 36MB of Cache, which AMD lumps together as 'GameCache'.

With the third generation Ryzen chips, as the CPU cores are on their own chiplets, AMD was able to pack way more L2 and 元 cache into the Ryzen 7 3700X – with 4MB and 32MB, respectively. That’s not big enough to be evident in day-to-day workloads, but it does still mean something. Effectively, compared to a second-gen Ryzen processor at the same clock speed, you will get a straight 15% increase in performance. This move to 7nm has brought a beefy 15% boost to IPC (instructions per clock) performance over its predecessor. What this means for most people is lower power consumption and much improved performance at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, like the rest of AMD's Zen 2 processors, is built on a 7nm manufacturing node.
