Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 7 2700
- CPU is newer: launch date 1 year(s) 6 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- 6 more cores, run more applications at once: 8 vs 2
- Around 8% higher clock speed: 4.1 GHz vs 3.8 GHz
- Around 6% higher maximum core temperature: 95°C vs 90°C
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 12 nm FinFET vs 28 nm
- 4x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- Around 43% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2179 vs 1520
- 8.9x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 15720 vs 1770
