HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2025
- Our benchmark and review of the AMD R7 2700 and R7 2700X focuses most on game streaming (for Twitch/RUclips) and multitasking, with gaming benchmarks also included.

Our AMD R7 2700X vs. i7-8700K testing mostly focuses on gaming and Blender rendering/benchmarks, but we also dive into livestreaming with Twitch or RUclips. The idea is to stress-test multitasking in realistic use case, hopefully finding the best CPU for streaming in the process. We also spend time overclocking the new AMD R7 2700X CPU, which gives us time to talk about memory overclocking and the stability of frequencies beyond 3600MHz cold boot on the R7 2700X. Most importantly, we built a volt-frequency table for the lowest stable voltage that 4.0GHz can be maintained on both the 1700 and 2700X, providing a unique, important look at one of the only major differences with Ryzen 2 vs. Ryzen 1.
We previously benchmarked the AMD R7 1700 vs. 7700K for live streaming, but the 2700X changes things a bit -- primarily with higher frequency and XFR2.

Another great video,do you guys perhaps have any news on Intel 9th gen cpu's?
480p isn't dead either.. ask youtube
Quick question....on your charts where the 2700X was overclocked to 4.2GHz, were you using 3200 DOCP settings for memory or what was the memory at? Were the memory settings for the 4.2GHz results different than what you used for the stock results? What memory settings were you using for the 8700K stock and overclocked runs?
Great review and kudos to you for having the integrity and respect for other reviewers to wait for launch day to post even though you didn't have to.
Can you confirm whether or not you've updated with the Latest Spectre patch (the April one)? A couple of websites are showing apparent huge hits for intel with it. Thanks!
I guessed 8700K to the right (correct)
But then you showed the first slide of streaming numbers and I was like, arghhh. I was soo wrong.
Then I was ohh, I was right, 8700K was just better for the player.
Confidence, disappointment and success in a 2-3 minute. tnx gn :p
You really knocked it out of the park with this review. LTT and others didn't even mention voltage and temps for OCing. Great review
killercat268 Funny how a channel with "tech" in the name delivers less coverage in tech products than a channel with "Gamer" in it.
killercat268 As if anyone expected more from Linus. LUL
the LTT video had more effort put into the intro gag then actually looking at any real info
Wasn't trying to hardcore bash LTT. I think their content is entertaining and I still watch it. but I gotta lot of respect for the technical in depth reviews of GN and also the fact that address address/debunk misconceptions.
Really that's interesting because in Hardware Unboxed video Steve mentioned those metrics when he overclocked his chips. While HB Steve doesn't go into as much detail on voltage and more in depth performance numbers the amount of benchmarks in his videos are unrivaled.
I'm looking at getting a 2700x and a redditor recommended your review and channel to me. Oh my God does this not disappoint. You're my new favorite tech channel!
Super in depth review as usual, cheers!
Jarrod'sTech yes impressive
Yup, you really go into the details that make the difference. Great work!
That's especially overwhelming for folks like me who are used to FPS-only tests on games on other channels, and every time I asked about power consumption jump for overclocking or smth like that -- silence was an answer. That's literally the first time I saw really in-depth review.
21:33 Rap God
*Intel's spaghetti*
I'm beginning to feel like a charts god, charts god /
All my Mats from the front to the back Mod, Mod
Gamers Nexus, please split up your charts for vendor and scenario subdivisions, it will make it much easier to read. Maybe 2x2 grid for each scenario and vendor.
Ryzen stock and OC baseline /// Intel Stock and OC baseline
----
Ryzen stock and OC streaming /// Instel Stock and OC streaming
I get you have your charts sorted by performance numbers but we're searching for product in the chart, not for a number. So sort by product when applicable plsss.
TL;DR: Data is nice, pls make it easier to read.
This has me in tears hahahaha
auctioneer rap? ruclips.net/video/RJDY6fDoSzo/видео.html
Thanks Again for being honest and fact based on these reviews
I'm on the toilet at work watching this. I just couldn't wait!
Weaver Games tell the boss you ate something bad. 26 min is a long bathroom break!
Weaver Games #1 or #2 ? Both? Neither...just using stall to watch.😁
Me too, lol
Yeah I just went in to watch lol
This video feels like it's playing back at 1.5x speed. How does your mouth move so fast Steve?!
That's what I was going for! Native 1.5x!
It's no that bad fast, I can follow it at 2.0x just fine reducing the time required to watch this video by 50%.
It's pre overclocked out of the box 😏
He's got MCE locked on
I thought my brain was having some issues
Figured I'd come to the best guy for reviews first :P
Hey Sam! Great to see you!
Cheers Steve, I'm always about and watching your videos so don't worry :) I just haven't been commenting lately. Hope things are going well for you, and by the way the videos have been going I'd assume so!
same here
"Otherwise very long".. which is french for Buildzoid video time.
And when Buildzoid says a video will be long, you know it's serious.
Pretty sure I heard him say 'very lon'
I have written plenty of constructive critizism to several tech tubes, asking them to do things this way or that way. Then I found you. And you do it excactly like I want it, just better. Amazing channel! Super high quality! Already written this on other videos, but I cant stop telling you!
Watched other reviews before this one as a courtesy.
Now I'll actually pay attention.
I have see the rest of the reviews and am here for the best. excellent work as usual.
You know, with only a $30 dollar difference, the better cooler, and the efficiency gains (with negligible performance loss) from not overclocking, the 2700X is a lot more compelling than the 1700X/1800X had been.
yeah it autoboosts all cores to 4GHz and single/dual core to 4.3GHz that should be enough for most and it will run way WAY more efficient then the 1x00 series (as long as you have decent cooling of course but who doesn't)
Unless you have a better cooler anyway and don't use the stock one. In this case you can save 30 Bucks.
Yeah, i buought the 1800x and the 2700x gone out...... the 1000 series has a 4ghz barrier :( i wait for the 3000 to upgrade
1700x only £150! 2700x 250. :(
I love your reviews, you actually go in depth with different metrics and see what has actually changed.
always enjoy gn reviews, cover so much ground. love the stream testing especially
That electrical tape was applied super professionally.
"Spared no expense!"
Gongrats OP on a very in depth review..very nicely done as I see the other guys just do the normal benches.. U went the extra Mile
I had a modest budget for a new build. So I bought a Ryzen7 2700X, paired it with a Nvidia RTX 2070 on an Aorus 470x Ultra 16GB DDR 4 (3000) + Intel SSD7 NVME. I am much happier than i thought I would be. After watching your review I am kind of surprised the Ryzden did so well. Good Review Sir.
Most comprehensive tech insight RUclips channel out there, keep up the good work guys !
Wow! The efficiency jump for 4.0GHz is massive!
What do you mean?
The Spitting Llama those 12nm LP wafers from GloFo are really paying out for AMD i mean look at that efficiency with, mind you, 8 freakin cores! Intel has to do some catch up...
getting 4.3 is crazy though its really efficient till like 4.1 at 3.85 ghz it only used like 80 watts
Steve your reviews are legit so much more in depth than other reviews this is why gamersnexus will take off or I hope as this channel you’ve worked on (alongside others) is one of the best reviews channel for tech.
Steve I love your channel and applaud all the work you’ve done over the years. And I know this is an older video but I feel the need to critique the addition of a cpu into the title that you did not intend to fully test.
Today I needed to help a friend spec out an upgrade for a pc with a 2700 non x and without the power consumption numbers I am at a bit of a loss. They are already set on a 3080 and as that runs a 320-340 watt load, even a difference of 20-40 watts for the cpu could mean the difference of being in spec or out of spec!
I may even need to start counting the load of the fans, motherboard, and leds at this rate!
The most informative launch video I've seen yet! Good job, and thank you for your detailed work.
Looking forward to the upcoming parts of this in-depth review!
Great video. I am a new subscriber to the channel. Just wanted to say that the production value with the charts and such is great. Very easy to follow the presentation of information and the dialog is very informative. Thanks for making something that can seem overwhelming seem so simple.
You guys should certainly have WAY more Subs! Love the in depth.
Glad you were the first. Best overall technical review channel. Great work.
Just wanted to say I am so glad i came across your youtube channel.. I am truly impressed with your videos. Very Informative.., Thank you!
Dozens of reviews pop up in my sub box at once...GN is the first one I watch, every time, without fail.
I am new here I love learning new things of PC hardware keep up the great work
1st review I watched, there is really no comparison to Steve. Great work!
Gamers Nexus Hey why didnt you test to reduce the Latency to 3466 CL14 or 3600 CL14?
I had no problems with 14nm Zen & a B-Die Kit there...
That shows massive gains for me even compared to 3600 CL16!
Would have been cool to see more charts with the 2700 stock in and a power consumtion chart with 4,0 @ 1,1XX V.
Otherwise a very very good video, probably the best first day test i have seen in a very long time!
Prism & spire on 2700(x) (spire vs stealth on 2600(x)) would be also greeat.
Morover a test between the Noctua NH-L9x65, a EKL Alpenföhn Ben Nevis, the Prism, the sprie and the stealth on the 2600 (OC) & 2700 (OC) would be even better! :D
nice stream content. your stream benchmark coverage has improved since the last ryzen release.
My feed is blowing up with ryzen CPUs. Its like every reviewer posted in the same hour. At least the first one i watch is you Steve. It has overwhelmed the posts of my other subs like NBA, english football, pro wrestling , LOTR/tolkien works, got/asoiaf podcasts and vape products. Lol
As someone who takes no sides it's clear where each brand has it's strengths and that despite differences in approach to how the brand's manufacture their respective CPUs both brand's have shown they can create highly compelling options to suit consumer needs at various price points, Personally I feel like despite the recent jumps in multicore utilisation/performance for mainstream users/gamers, much older Intel hardware can still keep up, the only real improvement that's been noticeable over the past 7 years has been the reduction in power consumption at idle/load and the reduction in gear dissipation requirements, it'll be another generation or two from AMD & Intel before I consider purchasing newer hardware, after my underwhelming experience with my i5 6600k when compared with a similarly priced dual Xeon HP Z600 I want to see real gains in how CPUs not just perform but how that performance is actually utilised by software, Thanks for such a detailed Review GN, very well presented and produced, A Gold Standard for Product Reviews
peter geary well put sir
peter geary My main rig ran a 1600x, and I bought everything new for it. Two months of owning it, my water cooler died and killed it all.
Stuck with my Z600. Which I have to say is surprisingly good. Dual 5650s. MUCH prefer my Ryzen, obviously, but those old Xeons are great.
Cool to see another Z600 owner.
SquaficleDude That's really unfortunate, my view on Watercooling is only use it if you can risk losing your system if it leaks/fails, glad to see another Z600 owner enjoying the benefits that much older hardware can still bring despite it's age and older process size, you may be interested to know that if you use Windows as your OS that it's possible to tweak the processor clock speed and either increase performance or reduce power consumption/temps or do both if you've got a really good pair of xeons (Like I seem to have), there's software called 'SetFSB' or you can use 'Clockgen' I recommend looking into it, even if it's just a small gain
peter geary I spent literal days looking up how to get more performance, between BIOS mods, etc. This is great to know. 5650s clock to nearly 5ghz, and it's a crime that they're locked at 2.6, lol.
There's aftermarket coolers for the boards and the air flow is pretty good. Love the RAM cooling. I'll check out the software. Even a 100mhz boost helps, especially with 12 cores.
Agreed on water cooling. Never again unless it's an Intel chip, or the FX 8350 I have laying around. Not worth it on Ryzen. Their temps run low, and now with Zen+ efficiency, 4ghz is a breeze on air.
Oh, if I mess up, will I ruin the computer or would restarting reset the clocks? And how do I find the PLL on this thing? C2 motherboard.
SquaficleDude it's all Windows based and only activates when running the program, so I have it setup to run at start-up, easy to undo, and if it locks up when changing settings just restart and it's undone, I recommend not turning on auto start-up/run on start-up until you've got a stable overclock/undervolt
Love the Video. I have watched every review I can find and this is by far the best. Sooo much more information than any other video. Keep it up.
I usually enjoy your content, even if it is a little long. Thank you for covering so many important parts of the decision process, this is undoubtedly the best 2700X review on the internet. Thank you.
Awesome awesome awesome! Would love to see a similar streaming benchmark/test with the 2600(x) as well since IMO thats like the "streamer on a budget" CPU. Lower settings for this stream test would make sense. For people streaming to Twitch, 4000-5000kbps bitrate at a "faster" preset would also make sense. Keep on rocking!
Excellent in depth stuff Steve. Keep themcoming
Always go here first to watch any new products launched for review and analysis. I eat it ALL UP!!
Yaay the only channel I actually want to see benchmarks from! :D
This cpu breakdown was fantastic! I still love my Ryzen 7 2700x 🤓 Thank you!
First review I checked out, always love your content
Amazing work as allways GN. This is what the industry needed, look at those charts! Those numbers just 2 years ago where reserved for 1000+ usd cpu's.
Great job GN, as usual your test method and analysis are top of the line.
Holy crap those screen timers for scene changes are amazing. I love em.
Your videos offer complete information and your channel is way ahead of other channels!
Thanks for the great review, cannot wait for TR 2.
Best Ryzen 2nd gen review on youtube, keep it up man
I feel like i've been waiting for this review since like forever!
The only review i'll take seriously, keep up the good work
Embargo is lifted! I got 10 notifications one after the other from all the tech channels with the word Ryzen on it.. 😂😂😂
And I’ve chosen Gamer Nexus.. Because his glorious hair.
Same but with less notifications.
I would not be proud of using this methodology to choose anything, but sure, the hairy hair.
Humans are feeble and susceptible to being biased. But THE HAIR has no such things.
Hair Master Race
XD
Love the work you do, old vid, but useful info for me in my boredom atm sitting with this 2700X I bought new @$175 a few months ago. I've been having issues OC on stock cooler (That's why) I've a single rad cooler master to put on it later. I've been able to hit 4.2 @1.425-1.45V(ehh) and it clears CR15 at 1889 points while process affinity is set to High I can make it through a few runs then it crashes pushing 90C. Fun!
Excellent coverage. That reduction of .25V at 4 ghz is amazing.
The only source I trust for unbiased and thorough reviews. Thank you Gamers Nexus.
A very enlightening video... thank you very much for posting this!
Great video thank you. I really appreciate the X470 vs X370 tests because im considering to upgrade my Ryzen
always staggering reviews! ty
Great video, awesome review and benchmarks. Exactly what you always do, thanks... I'll be watching and learning...
Gonna nerd out a bit and say I think you do the best motion graphics for graphs i've seen on YT. The extra animations, highlighting areas being talked about and 'count-down bars' help things stay visually interesting and it really helps add a feeling of quality.
Oh, and the info is good too ;)
First time seeing this channel... and i'm subscribing. Holy shit this content is amazing.
Excellent review, thank you very much for the work you put into it.
Since you were first on my feed, you get my view. I'm hyped for the results! Please AMD, do extremely well again! 🙏
I have been looking forward to this video.
Thank you from making a legitimate review on these CPUs, I watched a few others with great disappointment. This is among the very few channels capable of doing a good review, I really appreciate it.
Amazing how much work you put in your videos
What a video, like always! Love you guys!
Dude! That was the absolute best R7 2700X review!
Well worth the wait. Thanks GN!
Great work as always!
You have done a fantastic job with your research thank you
Thank you Tech Jesus, as always, you're reviews are a blessing.
I've watched many ryzen 2 reviews but now I shall watch the mother of all reviews.
I'm new here love your channel! Made me want to build my own PC. Now time to start saving $!!!
Excellent Review Steve !
Great video. In a weird way I like that the X variants push the chips so well that you aren't leaving much performance on the table.
I just upgrade my computer from the 1700 to the 2700 (both non-X versions). Doing the upgrade allowed me to use 3200MHz memory instead of the 2400 MHz it was running at with the 1700 and I got an insane speed increase in Vegas Studio 14 Platinum. Before the upgrade it took 4 to 5 times the lenght of the video to render in 4K. So a 1 hour video would take about 4 hours to render sometimes more. I just rendered my first video with the new config, and it took 25 minutes to render a 16 minutes video so about 1.6X times the lenght of the video. I am blown away! I was expecting a 11% speed upgrade but the combination of ram now able to run at full speed and the 200 MHz extra cpu speed from 3.8 GHz to 4 GHz with both overclocks, it looks like I doubled performance in video rendering... that is insane!
The only R7 2700X video you need to watch. Quality review!
This is amazing news for people like me that dont overclock. Im sure im in the majority. Intel is still better for me in some ways because i dont stream as much BUT i think im going amd because ill be able to keep my mobo till 2020+ if i remember correctly and that saves like 300 dollars
Curious Wars You really gonna upgrade CPUs within 2 years though? I could care less about "until 2020" at this point, it's right around the corner.
Why wouldn't I? I use my computer for home and business and have a need for the computer power for more than just games. On top of that ryzen 2 (not 1.5) will likely be MUCH more powerful considering the huge shrink and IPC increases. I think you are too used to intels ownership of the market over the last 10ish years to remember that before they were dominating 30%+ improvements over each generation were quite common and with infinity fabric making those types of improvements possible again with a shrink it's very possible we would see them. 7nm will likely make 12-16 core the new "standard" at the very least and thats ignoring the ipc gains.
All speculation of course but I change processors almost every year. Not everyone has the same needs :)
Curious Wars Fair enough, I do expect Zen 2 to bring large gains. Not sure 12-16 cores is at all useful for mainstream though, we're just barely reaching a point where most software can use more than 4. In games 8-core Ryzen probably won't be fully utilized for years, let alone 12-16. Lets face it the only reason AMD offers tons of cores isn't because most people need it, it's because it's all they can offer since they are always behind in clocks & IPC. That might not be the case for Zen 2 though.
I have been both AMD and Intel at this moment i am on an OC monster of a 2600k..for games it still gives more than i need.( running a 980Ti )..intels small baby step improvements really kept me on this generation of chips saw no need to change...in the mean time i had various Amd pc's in the home for various tasks and to be honest was let down by AMD very lackluster ability to compete with Intel...BUT now...i waited for the second of Ryzen and so glad i did AMD truly has put Intel on the trailer and can not wait too build a new system once GPU's become sane....
Noobish ...because RAM totally isn't upgradable, right? And, he totally couldn't upgrade the CPU first then the motherboard later if he wanted to, huh?
Really don't know what you're trying to prove
It's so good to see close competition in the CPU market :D
Great content Steve!
Was looking forward to this!
And you have answered my long standing question: is it better to get the x model over non x? Non x and overclock. My Man!
Good job man. Thanks for 1440p comparison.
Best video that covers every aspect. Thank you for the amazing video.
From seeing the 8700k's performance on the viewer-side dip to Medium encoding, it can show how extra applications like Spotify or a web browser can further hurt performance unless it is JUST streaming that is being performed (most streamers have music in background or something else going on to make the stream more entertaining)
ayy thanks for the info. I just bought the 2700 I was debating on overclocking or not
Thanks for the review!
Thank you so much for your hard work. So detailed.
Great review, i prefer that you used 'retail' cpus instead of samples directly from the manufacture.
Because it gave you more time for troubleshooting and testing but also to prevent eventual binning and golden samples.
Hit me up if anyone wants to see this put through 3D CAD and Keyshot, or wait for the 2800 family
cad uses multithreading only for 2d rendering and ui. thus top intel cpus are better, same fo photoshop.
it's good for video rendering though
I think there will be a 2800, but they're holding off until Intel responds
mezmery a He mentioned Keyshot by name, which is a CPU only renderer, and is very multi threaded. Single core performance won't make as much of a difference during modeling as the quantity of ram and the GPU anyways, so for this question it is almost always more cores.
Also, if he is doing and CFD or stress analysis, the more cores will make a massive difference.
mezmery a Uh no. Educate yourself with KeyShot.
Church Seraphim I know this is a joke, but I'm going to take it literally anyways, you know all the lanes are already enabled? Right? None of the die is lasered off.
Wow... This is amazing. I can't wait to see what an even smaller process will be like
i woke up this morning with 1 notification from YT regarding Ryzen because GN is the only hardware reviewer i care about and am subscribed to
Great review! Good job.
+Gamers Nexus I like how this lamp flickers. Such nice side effect :)
Awesome work as always..
Great content as always, keep it up Steve :)
This is what I have been waiting for!
That was a very good job, thanks guys!
Fresh coffee, got the house to myself this morning, gonna settle in for some quality GN content about my favourite subject lately ;)
Your respect for others garners more respect from me.
I would rather an honest review verses what somebody thinks I might like to hear.
