AMD Ryzen Comparison – Ryzen 7 3800X vs 3700X vs 2700X vs 1700x

Leaked Benchmarks

Geekbench 4 results from AMD’s Ryzen 7 3800X, leaked by TUM_APISAK, show a substantial generational leap in performance from team AMD with multi-threaded tests. 

In single-threaded workloads the AMD Ryen 7 3800X delivered a score of 5406 points when using 2133MHz memory while offering a multi-threaded score of 34059. When compared to AMD’s stock Ryzen 7 2700X (with 2666MHz DDR4 memory), AMD’s Ryzen 7 3800X delivered a tremendous boost to both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance, with the 2700X delivering scores of 4923 and 25209 in single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads respectively.  This gives approximately a 10% improvement in single core performance and 35% improvement in multi-threaded performance, all while using slower RAM.

We don’t know how much memory speeds will affect the new CPUs yet but they have official support for up to 3200MHz speeds and this should offer a decent bump in performance.

Leaked 3DMark results (5th of July)

And another leak…

This time in the form of 3DMark results for the Ryzen 7 3700X, and another CPU that trades blows with the Intel Core i9-9900K. For the sake of comparison, we have looked at the physics score which is the CPU reliant element of the scoring.

The official explanation for physics scores states:

This tests the CPU’s capability to simulate gameplay physics. One thread per available CPU core is assigned to creating the simulations, while other threads are completing other tasks. The GPU load is kept as low as possible. The Bullet Open Source Library is used for this Physics Test.

3DMark Firestrike Extreme

• Intel Core i9-9900K @ Stock: 24596
• AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ Stock: 20810
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X @ Stock: 25011

3DMark Cloud Gate

• Intel Core i9-9900K @ Stock: 18804
• AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ Stock: 15097
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X @ Stock: 17484

3DMark Ice Storm Extreme 

• Intel Core i9-9900K @ Stock: 74107
• AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ Stock: 75293
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X @ Stock: 82831

3DMark Night Raid 

• Intel Core i9-9900K @ Stock: 15782
• AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ Stock: 10605
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X @ Stock: 13487

While Ryzen 7 3700X doesn’t beat the Intel in every test it costs considerably less and only uses 65W, so with some heavy overclocks you might be able to squeeze out better than an i9-9900K for less money.

Comparing it to the generation before the 3700X is showing an impressive 20% improvement over the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. In Cloud Gate, the improvement is 16%, Ice Store just 10% and Night Raid 27%.

Furthermore a single benchmark leak has come out for the Ryzen 9 3900X which is close to the 30K (29,777 points) mark in Firestrike Extreme. This arround 6000 points more than what the Core i9-9900K posts & even better than the 16 core Ryzen Threadripper 2950X which scores around 28,000 points in the same benchmark
