i5 2320 to ryzen 1700 or 1700X

[User360]

I'm considering an upgrade to the new ryzen CPUs.
My main use case is gaming on my R9 380, as well as coding on Ubuntu.
Will I see a significant jump in day to day usage? (browsing,gaming and multitasking)


Currently I get around 30fps in gta (on ultra).

Other specs:
8gb ddr3
256gb SSD

You will see a very significant increase in performance! I would recommend getting the 1700 over the 1700x. The only difference is clock speeds, you can save money and over clock it to the 1700x's base performance.

If you're gaming, I would suggest you wait. AMD will launch quad-cores (which are better for gaming) in 2-3 days. The 1700 and 17000X are clocked relatively low and are really expensive.

Unfortunately their R5 and R3 series won't be until Q2 and 2H respectively. For the R7 series, their prices are amazing for performance so far. Literally cutting Intel by 30-50%.

The coding program I'm using (webstorm) would benefit greatly from multiple cores. I currently have to wait roughly 7 seconds for some projects to compile, and I was hoping ryzen cpus could cut that time down

It will be used for coding with gaming on the side, rather than the other way around, altough if single core performance is similar to what I currently own its probably enough for gaming

does anyone have any independent benchmarks yet?

The only benchmarks I've seen were on

Although I'm not very familiar with cinebench

There is still NDA so there cannot be any "official" releases. We have to go on what people were able to do with their early samples and what press youtubers, such as Linus were able to show off at the AMD event that just happened.

These are the ones from AMD...

So early samples and AMD's benchmarks (why just one bench mark?). I know that there are no independent reviews available, in which case how can anyone make a recommendation other than wait and see.

Neither of the above two statements have any factual evidence behind them. Be careful how you spend the OP's money.

Fair point. When will official/verified benchmarks come out?

Here is an album showcasing the R5 and R3 release dates. Unfortunately we have not seen any leaked benches of the R3 series and only the r5 1600x has been leaked. And if you think that any of what has been shown from the R7 has been false, then you are very much a pessimist. I understand the need to wait for 3rd party benching, but performance will not lie when people like Linus, Jay, and Paul release their benches. AMD would dig themselves a grave if they screw this up.

I already bought a 1700 and a gtx 1070
Thanks anyways
