AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is an 8-core processor and can provide 16 logical processors by using Hyper-Threading technology. It clocks with 3.70 GHz in the base and can increase all its cores up to 3.85 GHz via Turbo clock. If only one core is loaded, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X increases its clock rate up to 4.3 GHz. The high clock rates make the processor suitable for both single- and multi-core applications and current games.

The CPU is based on AMDs Zen+ architecture (Pinnacle Ridge Design) and has 16 MB L3 cache. It has a TDP of 105 watts and can already be cooled with a normal sized fan cooler (included). If you want to overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, a better cooler from a third-party manufacturer, such as be! Quiet. A small AIO water cooler is also suitable for the processor.

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X fits into the socket AM4. There is a sheer huge number of Socket AM4 motherboards available here. Working memory is officially supported in dual-channel mode (2 memory channels) with up to DDR4-2933. However, significantly higher clock rates are also possible.

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is manufactured in 12 nm technology at AMDs former semiconductor division, Globalfoundries. It belongs to the 2nd generation of Ryzen 7 processors and was introduced in the second quarter of 2018.

PCIe 3.0 is supported with up to 16 lines. Thus, even modern, dedicated graphics cards can be connected to the processor without bandwidth bottlenecks. Since the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is a popular choice for gaming PCs, we would recommend a modern graphics card, such as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080. As a power supply, we would then recommend an ATX power supply with at least 500 watts of power.
