Amd Ryzen 7 3700x Desktop Cpu Review
This motherboard goes head-to-head with many other more expensive motherboards on just about every performance metric you would care to test. Speaking of audio support, this is where the AORUS Ultra has the edge on its competitors. It features an eight channel ALC1220 Realtek Codec, which along with the high-end WIMA capacitors provides an excellent audio experience, especially in games. On top of that, the left and right audio channels have been placed in different layers of the PCB, resulting in better sound isolation. As a hardware analyst, Tom tests and reviews laptops, peripherals, and much more at PC Labs in New York City.
In fact, using 3733MHz memory actually saw my system offer slightly worse performance as the divider meant the fabric was operating at a slower frequency. So, my advice for anyone building a new system is to use a 16GB dual-channel kit of 3,600MHz memory, ideally with a C16 latency, although most 3466MHz kits I’ve tried readily overclock to 3,600MHz anyway. Therefore, it is highly important to check the connectivity options offered by your motherboard for Ryzen X for ensuring that it is a versatile one. Some of the ports found in motherboards include USB type C, USB type A, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, DisplayPort, ethernet, and various others.
All ten games are tested at 1080p ‘ultra’ (generally the highest possible settings, outside of super-sample anti-aliasing), and each test is run multiple times to ensure the consistency of results. Minimum fps is calculated as the average fps for the bottom three percent of frametimes—find the 97 percentile frametime, and sum up all frametimes above that, dividing by the number of frames. This provides a more useful metric than pure minimum fps or pure 97 percentile. With another remarkable chip from the Ryzen 3000 series, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for AMD processors.
Clock speeds don’t increase between CPU generations as much as they did a decade or so ago, but the difference between the speeds of the Ryzen X and the first-generation Ryzen X is nevertheless impressive. Also an eight-core, 16-thread gtx 1080 8gb chip, the Ryzen X has a base clock speed of 3.4GHz and a boost clock of just 3.8GHz. Prepare yourselves, because while there were small differences in the majority of my game tests, the gaps are even bigger in content creation.
The smaller the overlap between the yellow and green bars, the better the value for money. Of course, despite its admirable AM4 backward-compatibility, to fully leverage it down the road, you’ll need a new X570 motherboard; the X570 platform’s support for PCI Express 4.0 can’t be found on any Intel platform, at least not yet. And it offers a step forward in terms of single-threaded performance, one area in which the first two generations of Ryzen we found lacking. On many recent titles at a 1080p resolution, where the game is limited by the capabilities of the CPU and not the GPU, the Ryzen X will be a few frames per second behind its main Intel competitor.
AMD Ryzen Master offers you real-time monitoring and a histogram of per-core clock rates and temperatures, including average and peak readings. We strive to offer our customers the easiest, most seamless shopping experience every day—using the latest technology and security measures.

I love gaming, programming, graphics designing and basically anything that has to do with computers and technology.
The AMD Ryzen X 3.6 GHz Eight-Core AM4 Processor is a powerful eight-core processor with 16 threads, designed for socket AM4 motherboards. It is batpoop crazy when you think about what AMD has accomplished in, what has it been, two years time? Sure, the initial ZEN Ryzen processors had a bit of a rocky launch with the inter-core latency discussion, 1080p gaming performance as well as memory support.
