If this is true. Oh daaaaaaamn.
1700X isn't even the top Ryzen CPU.
Is there somewhere on oc3d that I can report it?
I'm really tempted to upgrade. Idk though.. this or Vega...
When clicking on cpu mark compression benchmark image browser is asking for my login and password although I'm already logged in !!!!!! Can someone chceck it
Well in the majority of tests it still falls far short of the 6900K BUT it's good to see it matching and sometimes beating the 6 core part![]()
True but according to this post from last week it would appear the 1700X is meant to go up against the 7700K/6800K. So does it really need to beat the 6900K since according to that same post the 1800X is meant to go up against the 6900K? Plus it is mentioned in this post that it is an engineering sample, is running on a low-end MSI motherboard, and the RAM timings which all maybe effecting the scores.
You will crumble for this long before Vega comes along dude.

I won't. I'd only get it if I could sell my current setup.
Thing is, whoever upgrades to this, also has to upgrade Windows 10. You're key won't be activated with a new cpu and motherboard. So it raises it's overall cost quite a bit too.
So VideoCardz provided a link to the trial version of Performance Test 9.0 so I went ahead and downloaded it and selected this Ryzen CPU as one of the Baselines. Below is a link to an imgur gallery I made showing only my stock 6700k vs this Ryzen CPU, that we all suspect is the 1700X. They didn't have a baseline for the i7 7700k otherwise I would have added it.

For anyone that doesn't want to click the link, for whatever reason, it got a higher score in everything but Single-threaded and Physics, and in physics I only beat by it 4 points.
Meh... Vega looks boring in comparison. Still pumped for Vega, but I'm not blown away.
I was under the impression a genuine retail copy of Windows will transfer between upgrades. You just have to call Microsoft and tell them you've upgraded your motherboard and CPU.
