Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 7 2700

  • CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 11 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 4 more cores, run more applications at once: 8 vs 4
  • 12 more threads: 16 vs 4
  • Around 46% higher clock speed: 4.1 GHz vs 2.8 GHz
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 12 nm FinFET vs 32 nm
  • 4x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 2.4x better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2177 vs 917
  • 9.3x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 15679 vs 1693
  • 2.9x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 940 vs 319
  • 7.4x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 6255 vs 850
