In terms of overall gaming performance, the AMD Ryzen R7 1700X is significantly better than the AMD Ryzen R7 Pro 1700 when it comes to running the latest games. This also means it will be less likely to bottleneck more powerful GPUs, allowing them to achieve more of their gaming performance potential.

Both the Ryzen R7 Pro 1700 and the Ryzen R7 1700X were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.



Both the AMD Ryzen R7 Pro 1700 and the AMD Ryzen R7 1700X have the same number of threads. Both the Ryzen R7 Pro and the Ryzen R7 1700X use hyperthreading. The Ryzen R7 Pro has 2 logical threads per physical core and the Ryzen R7 1700X has 2.



The Ryzen R7 Pro and the Ryzen R7 1700X are from the same family of CPUs, and thus their clock speeds are directly comparable. With this in mind, it is safe to say that with a 0.3 GHz faster base clock rate, the Ryzen R7 Pro manages to provide slightly better performance than the Ryzen R7 1700X.


The Ryzen R7 Pro and the Ryzen R7 1700X have the same L2 cache size, and the same L3 cache size, so in terms of cache-related gaming performance, we have to look back to the clock rate, where the Ryzen R7 Pro wins out.


The Ryzen R7 Pro has a 30 Watt lower Maximum TDP than the Ryzen R7 1700X (though they were created with the same size 14 nm manufacturing technology). What this means is the Ryzen R7 Pro will consume significantly less power and consequently produce less heat, enabling more prolonged computational tasks with fewer adverse effects. This will lower your yearly electricity bill significantly, as well as prevent you from having to invest in extra cooling mechanisms (unless you overclock).

CPU Mini Review

Mini ReviewThe Ryzen R7 1700 Pro is a high-end CPU based on AMD's 14nm, Zen microarchitecture. It offers 8 physical cores (16 logical), initially clocked at XX.XGHz, which may go up to XX.XGHz using Turbo Boost. It has an unlocked multiplier therefore it can be overclocked using traditional methods. It has 16MB of L3 Cache. Level 3 cache is a static memory bank of a processor and it is used to feed it instructions. This processor also supports DDR4 based RAMs with maximum memory support of 64GB. It has a maximum Thermal Power Design of 65W. It is on par with competitor processors. Among its many features, Simultaneous Multithreading, Cool n Quiet, CoolCore Technology, Extended Frequency Range (XFX), Pure Power and Precision Boost are enabled. It doesn't feature an integrated GPU. The Ryzen R7 Pro 1700 is likely to offer excellent computational performance and will not be the bottleneck in any modern gaming PC.The AMD Ryzen R7 1700X 8-Core 3.4GHz is a high-end CPU based on the 14nm Zen micro architecture. It offers 8 physical cores (16 threads), initially clocked at 3.4GHz base clock and 3.8GHz boost with an unlocked multiplier for overclocking, and 16MB of L3 Cache. Among its many features are Simultaneous Multithreading, Cool n Quiet, CoolCore Technology, Extended Frequency Range (XFX), Pure Power and Precision Boost. This CPU is likely to offer exceptional computational performance and will not be the bottleneck in any modern gaming PC. It will be able to play all modern games comfortably on high/ultra graphics performance without being a hindrance to the accompanying GPU.
