Overview

Elite performance for gamers and creatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Wraith Prism LED RGB processor (3.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz) is one of the first PC processors to be etched in 7nm and to support the PCIe 4.0 interface. The third generation Ryzen, codenamed Matisse, impresses with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base frequency of 3.6 GHz that can be increased to 4.4 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache and only 65W of TDP! It comes with its ultra-efficient and quiet AMD Wraith Prism LED RGB cooling system.

The Ryzen 7 3700X from AMD offers a (re)discovery of high-end performance for gaming, content creation and intensive multitasking. With 16 threads and 36MB of GameCache, double the cache of the second generation Ryzen 7, it does EVERYTHING faster and smoother.

Zen 2 Microarchitecture

The Zen 2 cores are designed to make efficient use of available resources to optimise computational performance. Compared to the previous architecture, 2X floating point capabilities and up to 15% higher instructions per cycle enable performance to reach new thresholds. Zen 2 combines performance for next-generation applications with optimal energy efficiency.

8 native cores and 16 logical cores

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X desktop processor offers 8 native and 16 logical cores for smooth multitasking. Thanks to its high native frequency and its Turbo Core mode, the third-generation AMD Ryzen CPU delivers exceptional performance in gaming, intensive multitasking, video editing, 3D modeling and more. The 32MB L3 cache also enables ultra-fast processing of large numbers of instructions with low latency.

    Pathetic

    Victim of cold boot... This hardware is worthless, unable to boot from the first try. Unimaginable that so many requirements are needed to have a stable hardware.
    The planets have to be aligned to expect an error-free first boot.
    Once booted, the system runs normally.

    With Intel, it doesn't matter which manufacturer or RAM frequency, you can even mix frequencies, the hardware boots.

    Icing on the cake, if on the benchmarks the figures are very good, in practice, we do not see the difference in performance with the competition.
    Although 30 minutes before you can start, it's not much better.

    I will never buy AMD again.

    Use

    No performance problems, too bad the manufacturer doesn't specify how to fit the box radiator.

    An incredible performance!

    I chose the 3700x over the 3800x and other generations for its low power consumption (65Watt vs. 108Watt), and I can say that this processor is very competitive and provides exceptional performance for such limited power consumption (it also helps to reduce fan noise).

    Very good value for money

    A good processor. I develop (angular / java) and play with it, without it needing to give its maximum.
