The AMD Ryzen 7 1700X is a processor designed for enthusiasts and overclockers. It has eight cores and can process up to 16 threads simultaneously thanks to multithreading. The standard clock rate is 3.4 GHz and with the Turbo-Core the CPU can even reach up to 3.8 GHz. The processor is based on AMD's Zen Core architecture and has an open multiplier for easy overclocking. It fits on the AM4 socket and supports DDR4 memory. AMD's multi-threading technology enables even better multitasking because each processor core can handle two tasks simultaneously. So you can enjoy intelligent multitasking. Your PC reacts faster and the annoying waiting is a thing of the past. Thanks to AMD SenseMI Technology, the processor shines with adaptable performance. AMD SenseMI automatically switches the processor to top speed when the PC needs more power for demanding tasks. So the service is available to you when you need it. At the same time, power consumption is kept low during normal operation. To get maximum performance from the Ryzen CPUs, the processors with the X suffix are equipped with the new XFR feature. XFR means that these CPUs allow fully automatic overclocking beyond the regular boost clock. The maximum cycle rate adapts to the cooling solution used, be it air, water or liquid nitrogen. With the AMD Ryzen Master Tool, which you can download for free from the AMD site, you can overclock the CPU without any problems thanks to its unlocked multiplier. In the AMD Ryzen Master you are also able to easily keep track of the temperature and much more.
