AMD has finally announced their new Ryzen 7 series processors including three new 8-core chips and they all come with a highly competitive price tag. At the moment we have seen only numbers in multi-threaded benchmarks, however thanks to a leak from DinoPC on OCUK there are now more real-world benchmarks floating around.


Although the video has been removed, on Wccftech there is a screenshot on GTA V showing an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and an Intel Core i7-7700K processors. The benchmark has been conducted on two different test setups, one based on AMD Ryzen and another on Intel Kaby Lake. The first setup features an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 chip on an ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard, while the other one is based on an Intel Core i7-7700K CPU and a Gigabyte Z270 Ultra Gaming X motherboard. Each setup uses the same NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card, memory kit, PSU and cooling system.

GTA V has been run at FullHD and the settings are unknown so far. According to DinoPC from OCUK, the Intel Core i7-7700K outperforms the Ryzen chip at both stock and overclocked speeds. Having a closer look at the results gathered, we see that the Core i7-7700K at stock speeds offers 28% higher frame rates than the Ryzen 7 1700 chip. This gap becomes even bigger when the the Core i7-7700K is overclocked to 5 GHz.

At the moment this is the first real-world benchmark used on AMD Ryzen, more details can most likely be expected to surface by the first week of March, since by then the NDA is allegedly supposed to be lifted.
