What we didn't manage with the launch article, we are happy to make up for today. Same approach, but two more Ryzen 7 CPUs in direct comparison to the top-of-the-line model that has already been tested. After all, there are currently approx. 200 euros between the "beginner" model Ryzen 7 1700 and the 1800X. The ryzen 7 1700X swirling around in the middle is more of a concern for statisticians and THE PR to close the big price gap between the cheapest and most expensive model.
We don't want to spoil big, but in the Last Judgment, the clock limit for overclocking, where everyone mercilessly beats the hour of bitter truths, all three CPUs are frighteningly equal. But at the latest then the hour of interesting desires is also shabby, because never before have 16 threads and eight real cores been so favorable. At least if you look at the Ryzen 7 1700. We had overclocked the Ryzen 7 1800X at the launch with 3.8 GHz and so also benchmarked it.
All three CPUs in today's test (the counter-test with three other real retail CPUs confirmed this) create the 3.8 GHz without thermal problems and overclocking technical tricks, thus the result of the Ryzen R7 1800X at 3.8 GHz also exam-plaular for the other two CPUs. At 3.8 GHz at the latest, they are more equal than just the same, but not in terms of price. But this part really belongs in the conclusion.
But there should also be customers who would never overclock anything in life. Whether from an attitude or the fact that the technology is to be used as a production system. That is why a medal always has two sides. In today's test, we want to find out which of the two shines more.
Test system and measurement methods
The new test system and the methodology have already been described in great detail in the basic article "How We Test Graphics Cards" (English: "How We Test Graphics Cards") and therefore, for the sake of simplicity, we now only refer to this detailed Description. So if you want to read everything again, you are welcome to do so.
