Blender 2.81 (bmw27)
Blender is a free 3D graphics software for rendering (creating) 3D bodies, which can also be textured and animated in the software. The Blender benchmark creates predefined scenes and measures the time (s) required for the entire scene. The shorter the time required, the better. We selected bmw27 as the benchmark scene.

Comparison of the two processors
As the direct successor to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is around 20 percent faster in both single-core and multi-core loads. AMD was able to significantly increase the IPC of the Zen 2 cores of the AMD Ryzen 3 3700X, while the clock frequencies have only changed slightly.The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X now clocks one CPU core with up to 4.4 GHz (2700X: 4.3 GHz), several CPU cores are clocked at up to 4 GHz (2700X: 3.85 GHz). Both processors do not have an internal graphics unit (iGPU). The installation of a dedicated graphics card is therefore mandatory.
Both processors are intended for private use in the desktop area and have 8 CPU cores (16 threads). Both are suitable for overclocking and can be relatively easily accelerated by a further 5-10 percent (provided there is sufficient cooling). The level 3 cache of the processor has doubled from 16 to 32 MB. From benchmarks of various Renoir APUs (these are also based on Zen 2 CPU cores), however, we know that the size of the level 3 cache does not have a major impact on most applications or games.
The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is already manufactured in a modern 7 nm process and is therefore relatively economical. The older AMD Ryzen 7 2700X still has a Zen + CPU core design, which is manufactured in 12 nm. For this reason, AMD was able to reduce the TDP of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X from 105 watts to just 65 watts. Although the TDP does not represent the real energy requirement of the processor, the TDP gives a rough outlook on the efficiency of a processor.
If the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X still supports DDR4-2933 RAM, the 3700X now supports DDR4-3200. Memory support and stability have also improved significantly on the 3700X. Both CPUs have two memory channels, which double the bandwidth of the memory in dual-channel mode.
