Important preliminary remarks

At the launch article of AMD's Ryzen 7 CPUs, we had already explained all wokstation and HPC benchmarks in great detail and also questioned the background for many results in some cases even haarklein. For this reason, we will now summarize the countless benchmarks in part in the post-test.

Some, in our view, rather unstable or We omitted unsuitable runs and re-energised all the hardware with the latest BIOS, especially for the Ryzen 7 1800X and the overclocking to 3.8 GHz. Therefore, some values for these two runs no longer match those of the launch test.

2D Bechmarks: DirectX and GDI/GDI+

We first added the new CPUs to AutoCAD 2D and our graphics throughput benchmark for the GDI/GDI+ functions and combined them into a common gallery gallery. Even now, absolutely nothing changes to the core statements of the launch article:

2D benchmarks: Adobe Creative Cloud

In this suite, both CPUs are sometimes well behind the Ryzen 7 1800X, which is simply a matter of tact. Nevertheless, even the small Ryzen 7 1700 is well suited for many things, since the differences are measurable, but often hardly subjectively noticeable.

3D Bechmarks: DirectX and OpenGL

The graphics performance of the CPUs in the single programs and suites now gives an overall picture, which is also no different from the core statements of the launch article. However, the Ryzen 7 1700 is clearly at a disadvantage in single-thread-dominated scenarios without a clock increase due to the often too low IPC.

CPU Performance: Workstation

Of course, in the production area, not only 3D graphics performance is important in the application, because many things are calculated by the CPU in parallel within these applications (simulations, compute tasks, preview rendering, etc.). In order to get a truly objective impression, you always have to look at both in context. And that's where all Ryzen 7s aren't so bad.

CPU Performance: Photorealistic Rendering

In final rendering, it is not so much a matter of universality, but of the most efficient and fast, parallelized processing. That is why we prefer to look at this section separately.

CPU Performance: Encoding and Compression/Decompression

Number crunchers have actually been AMD's CPUs before and so it's no surprise that they can actually beat all the new CPUs quite respectably to remarkably.

HPC benchmarks (High Perfomance Computing)

Not every program needs a graphical interface and many scientific-mathematical calculations you start from the console anyway. That is why we have separated this very extensive group of benchmarks and combined them into our own gallery. Depending on the compilation and optimization of the software or Compatibility with Ryzen, however, the results are quite different. Nevertheless, one can see a positive tendency if Ryzen is allowed as he could.

Intermediate conclusion

The weather outlook for AMD's Ryzen 7 is largely sunny to sunny in this category, and only in places are brief showers providing some refreshment for the slightly overhyped mood. If the software developers have managed to better understand Ryzen and optimize one or the other application to do so, the partial rainfall will be significantly reduced (can be reduced).
