AMD Ryzen 7 1700: The Ultimate Workstation CPU? Tim's new PC!

2017-03-23
hey guys welcome back to harbor unboxed today we have a cool build video for you guys we're building a new computer for Tim his new editing rigs previously computer he'll tell you about a computer in a minute but it's a cool video because we are building a risin seven seventeen hundred system and will be overclocking that seeing our performs in Premiere Pro and a few other applications and yeah it'll be a lot better than what Tim currently has what are you running at the moment Tim I've got a core i5 Ivy Bridge systems I think it's a thirty five seventy not even the K model I've got 16 gig of ddr3 and a gtx 980ti so i primarily built the system for gaming but yeah when it just comes to editing at 4k simply not up to it in terms of its cpu power I think you know even editing something at 1080p will almost take 20 minutes to render that video so it's 4k we know how much how much more power that uses so you know exactly over an hour to wait for that to render it's just not going to cut it so good to get something a bit more powerful in a mirror definitely so well we don't know how they obviously I think it's three gigahertz out of the box that boosts up a little bit higher so be sure to see how it performs out of the box compared to because we will be benchmarking Tim's computer that he currently has as well see how that handles overclocked the rise and processor and see how we go with that so I think it's time so I'm going to make Tim build this so I'm going to sit back and watch so time is the fun bit so I'm 410 debilities in your computer we'll see you guys in a moment okay so we built the system now I think it should be pretty powerful and cost-effective but of course you have to check out perform so let's get to some benchmarks all right so before we jump into the benchmarks I suppose we should take a brief moment to tell you exactly what's going into this system obviously we have the AMD Verizon 7 1700 processor and we've decided to install on the gigabyte a be 350 gaming 3 motherboard which as the name suggests uses the AMD be 350 chipset since Tim will primarily be using the system for content creation we've gone with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 3000 memory though with 4 modules we were only able to run the memory at ddr4 2666 for storage I have the corsair MP 500 480 gigabyte SSD handy and there's a high-speed mbm a SSD they should have Tim well covered Tim's old PC which is keeping as a backup features the geforce gtx 980ti so with this new system we haven't really made much of an upgrade here as we went with the gtx 1070 that's if we did use the msi gtx 1070 gaming x model this is a very nice graphics card that runs cool and quiet and when tim isn't busy creating content for us to watch this will certainly be powerful enough so Tim can enjoy the latest and greatest games as a side notes of benchmarking we replaced the MSI graphics card with the Titan XP so the data is comparable with the numbers that we already have so with that let's get to it although this isn't primarily a gaming PC it's a much appreciated secondary function that Tim will no doubt enjoy in his spare time not that he should have much of that now but anyway out of the box the horizon 7 1700 chip is only a whisker slower than the 1700 x-men while once overclocked it pulls ahead of the 1800 X by a slim margin it is worth noting that the minimum frame rates are considerably better than that of Intel's quad-core 7600 K before we move on let's have a quick look at battlefield one performance again the rising sea views off a strong minimum frame rate performance and here we see that the overclocked 1700's is able to keep pace with the $500 u.s. Verizon 7 1800 X even stocks are 1700 impressive 1,400 points korynn Cinebench r15 which doesn't place it that far behind the 1000 and $50 us intel core i7 69 hundred k overclocking boost some multi-threaded score by 20% producing a score of 16 thousand and 77 points impressive stuff indeed now this is what the system was built for working with Premiere Pro CC previously exporting a four and a half minute 4k video took Tim's core i5 Ivy Bridge PC roughly 15 and a half minutes this means a typical length however unbox video would take over an hour to encode hope you don't make any mistakes on that system Tim thankfully that won't be an issue though as the new horizon 7 1700 rig took just 11 minutes to complete the render and this was before we applied in tweaks overclocking the chip to 3.0 gigahertz reduce the render time to just nine minutes and 26 seconds which is an incredible time for a 4k video encode in comparison might own 10 core Core i7 69 50x processor takes 8 minutes and 23 seconds granted that is a whole minute faster but it's 16,000 and 50 US or 2400 Aussie it's horrible value next to 330 WS or $470 e Verizon 7 1700 well you guys have seen the benchmarks very impressive stuff a serious upgrade over Tim's old PC especially for editing videos yeah I mean it's 40% faster than my old system before any overclocking so previously what was taking you about 15 and a half minutes on a 4k in code that's been shaved four point five minutes right off that so down to 11 minutes is a pretty significant saving there and of course after we overclock the system we've got another 17% performance out of it took that encode down further to just nine point five minutes so makes it all up about 65% faster than my old PC which is a really fantastic result I think around your system exactly and it's something like only 11% slower than my 69 50x system which costs twice as much of course we can overclock 469 50x and squeeze somewhere like 10 or 15% more performance out of it but again it costs twice as much so you're going to get nowhere near twice as fast as what we've built for Tim so I hope you guys enjoyed seeing Tim's new editing rig come together and Tim certainly now has no excuse for not creating content I want to see a video for him in the next week or two be sure to give him a hard time on social media if you don't see anything from him alright guys we'll catch you next time you
