Amd ryzen 7 1700: specifications confirmed. rival of the i7

Possibly this weekend we will have more movement than expected with the AMD revolution… To close we give you good news, official specifications of the new AMD Ryzen 7 1700 that has come to compete with the desired 8-core Intel Core i7-6900k have been leaked.

Features of the new AMD Ryzen 7 1700 are listed

Let's start with the base. The Part Number is YD1700BBAEBOX, as many of you know it is an eight-core and 16-thread processor, Its base frequency is 3.7 GHz, it has a TDP of 65W, 16 MB of cache, it is compatible with the new AM4 motherboards and it supports Dual Channel with minimum DDR4 frequencies at 2400 MHz.

The instructions they will use are: MMX (+) • SSE • SSE2 • SSE3 • SSSE3 (Intel SSE4) • SSE4a (AMD SSE4) • SSSE4.1 • SSSE4.2 • AES • ABM • AVX • FMA3 • FMA4 • F16C • XOP • SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) • AMD-V (Compute Virtualization) • VT-d / Vi (I / O MMU Virtualization) • x86-64 / EM64T • NX-Bit / XD-Bit • EVP • TBT 3.0 (Turbo Core 3.0).

Now you wonder, but… What is its official price? Well it seems that it will come out to about 320 dollars, which in exchange will be about 350 euros. That is, an amount three times less than the desired and quoted i7-6900k 8-core with 140W TDP .

That is, we are talking about the same number of cores, same number of threads, a similar performance (since it is on par with the Intel Broadwell-E) and it presents less final consumption a priori (The TDP is relative, you know).

AMD Ryzen will allow us to overclock

As it happened with AMD's FX Black Edition series, this new range of processors will allow us to overclock without any inconvenience. We just have to upload the multiplier (which is unlocked) and equip it with one of the new AMD motherboards with high-end X370 chipset or the mid-range B350.

Another of the most interesting novelties is the incorporation of technology: Extended Frequency Range. As standard it will bring its AMD Wraith heatsink (it spins a thousand times to those of Intel) the processor will operate at the designated frequencies. But if I equip it with one of the best heatsinks or liquid cooling on the market, the processor will be able to come up with the Turbo at a higher frequency than established. What do you like this technology? ?

Not everything is here, we also find the Pure Power and Precision Boost technologies. Both work together, ensuring that all cores are active.

We recommend reading the best processors on the market.

WE RECOMMEND AMD EPYC 7H12, the new king of the AMD "Rome" line of CPUs

What do you think of these new specifications? Will Intel lower prices or launch a new architecture? Do you have a lot of Hype with AMD Ryzen ? I admit it, I really want to try these processors.
