welcome back guys and today we're going to be doing a comparison between the r7 17 hundred which is AMD's eight core sixteen threaded beats coming in at three hundred and twenty nine US dollars and we're going to be comparing that against the seventy seven hundred K which is Intel's offering that fork or eight hundred CPU that does have higher IPC and does overclock a little bit higher than the r7 lineup and then I'm going to be throwing in my old workstation which is a sixteen core thirty-two threaded Beast I call it a junior cron and this is going to be the ultimate showdown a three part series where I'm going to be telling you guys in my opinion which CPU is best for what so with that said let the show begin so the first title we've got up here is doom on the Vulcan API at 720p low settings with the GTX 1080i or overclocked to the rim so this is going to give you guys an example of how these CPUs can perform at their max potential and we've got here the 7700 K overclocked to five gigahertz versus the r7 1700 overclocked to four gigahertz versus the jewels eons which are clocked at 3 gigahertz and I will say that the jewels eons are on the five-year-old Sandy Bridge architecture so it's doing an absolutely fine job of playing this game and I will point out that all three rigs during this benchmark incurred no stuttering at all so this is really how a PC title should be optimized for PC I absolutely love playing this game there's no hiccups whatsoever if you have the right hardware and you can see at all times the 7700 K and the r7 1700 I'm maintaining the frame cap in this game of 200 FPS and I would say that the slight advantage will go to the r7 1700 in this title as it does a better job of maintaining the GPU at its maximum clocks and with that you can see at times that the frame time variance does go as low as 3 milliseconds which makes this title I believe a little bit of a victory for the r7 17 hundred so the next title I've got up here for you guys is ashes of the singularity this is with the recent patch update for the Rison r7 1700 and you see that all those 16 threads are being fully utilized and it is pretty much competing neck-and-neck with the i7 1700 k having these CPUs perform around similar levels even though this is 720p low setting it is on the CPU focused benchmark the one weird thing that was going on here was that the jewels eons were just simply not being utilized at all after thread 16 and it was a bit disappointing since this is meant to be a title for DX 12 there's one of their poster child titles so I will say with that I prefer Vulcan much more than dx12 just looking at these two titles as Vulcan did a much better job of utilizing all those threads available to the jewel Xeon and going forward I'd like to see a lot more titles for with the game developers in utilizing Vulcan and one thing that we're going to see out of these benchmarks today is that a lot of the onus does fall on the game developers rather than people pointing the finger at Nvidia or Intel or even AMD and saying hey guys your combination of hardware isn't working properly in these games as we saw with Vulcan when we inference the statistics there we can see that really does depend on the game and how well that game is optimised if you're going to incur things like stuttering or just poor performance in general though this title is a lengthy benchmark so I will cut it short and we will move on to the next benchmark which it does provide a bit more insight to how these CPUs perform so the next title we've got up here is rise of the Tomb Raider and this is a title where the i7 7700 K does score a victory over the r7 1700 and the jewels eons but with those jewels eons in the mix we can see that pretty much half the threads here are completely dead so something's going on here where the jewels eons not only had half the threads dead but they're being underutilized too and we can see with the awesome 1700 that the threads are again being underutilized and even on the 7700 K those thread being taxed anywhere near 100% there is one point in this benchmark where the threads go spike up to 100% but that also happens on the r7 1700 as well so this is one of those things that again falls on the game developers to optimize the games for the CPU end of things to completely utilize all those threads available and make sure that they're being taxed at 100% for better FPS but when we stop on that note we will say that all the FPS figures on all three of these rigs are completely playable at all times it just points to the 7700 K having that advantage in those titles where the gains aren't optimized for more than four or eight threads and now this benchmark isn't that long so we are closing in to the final results soon and when we move into these final results we consider the 7700 K does come quite a bit ahead of both these CPUs scoring about 30% extra frames in the r7 1700 and also just killing the jewels eons but moving on into the next benchmark here we have f1 2016 and it's kind of similar to Tomb Raider in that again half the threads are dead on the jewels eons and they're not being fully utilized and the same as going with the r7 1700 that trend continues where a lot of these threads are being utilized but they're not being utilized near 100% and even the i7 7700 K isn't being utilized at a hundred percent during this benchmark it's coming close at times but it does enable the 7700 K to pull ahead in this benchmark and it does in able it to score a victory though this is a title that does play extremely well on all three Riggs there was no stuttering it was smooth as butter even on the jewel Zeon's which again are five years old this is the Sandy Bridge architecture it is a five-year-old architecture and these Seabees are only clock to three gigahertz and I know a lot of you guys out there are on a budget and you're looking to put together a gaming rig and you're wondering if these jewels eons are still relevant and I'm going to say that with the optimizations coming in for these CPUs the risin are seven 1700 is going to benefit from it but also at the same time a lot of this older hardware that has a lot of cause a lot of threads like the jewels eons are going to be also gaining advantages as well so we still have a lot of headroom on our jewels eons that will be utilized over time and they will be utilized quite well and keep in mind that the jewels eons are only running at 1866 ddr3 memory even though there's a lot of that ddr3 memory and even though it is in a belief 8 channel configuration versus dual channel on both the 7700 K and also the r7 1700 that we can see with the final results of the 7700 K does score a victory then the r7 1700 does be the Jules Elms the next benchmark we're going to look out here is Metro last light this is again 720p low settings and we can see that this is a game that actually does seem to utilize all threads even on the jewels eons so very impressive for a game that is quite old now surprised to see that this game was utilising all those threads on the jewels eons even though the percentages were quite low throughout this whole benchmark and again all the three rigs are giving you guys an amazing experience you can probably see that I've captured this at 60fps so what you're seeing is actually what is coming out of the mandra or at least what's coming out at the capture card going straight into the recording so if you guys see any hiccups then that is what is coming out on my monitor providing these storage or the capture card itself didn't induce any stuttering while with saving the mp4 file though I will say the jewels eons here did perform quite a bit lower than the r7 1700 and also the i7 and the 7700 K did manage to score a victory in this title though at times an interesting observation here is that the 1700 there Rison r7 did manage to catch up at times to the 7700 K so that was a pretty interesting observation but again CPU utilization here across the board isn't anywhere near 100% and GPU utilization is anywhere near a hundred percent either so again that game optimization does come heavily into play here and how these games are optimized and also the driver of course since it is a dx11 title the driver optimisation is just as important as the game optimization though when we move into those dx12 titles and also the volcán titles that is when the differences start to occur the onus does fall on more of the game developers to get the optimizations right then the drivers themselves but again guys really nice experience the frame rates are extremely high on the first two rigs though the secondary bejeweled Veon does fall behind quite a bit here in this benchmark which was unfortunate to see though hopefully in time more of those threads can be utilized properly near a hundred percent providing a better experience on these jewels e on the e 526 70s this is on a motherboard a workstation motherboard even though it is pretty expensive for the motherboard the CPUs were had for very cheap I believe I got both those jewels eons for around about a hundred and twenty dollars for the pair of them coming in much lower than the r7 1700 and also the 7700 K where those two CPUs are priced over $300 though the motherboards on the B 350 with the r7 1700 would probably be the cheapest combination out of all three the next title we have up here is Ghost Recon wildlands which is optimized for 16 threads dare I say where we can see with the jewels eons that half the threads are completely dead though I will say the performance of the jewels eons is actually very respectable in this title considering that it's only utilizing the same amount of threads as the r7 1700 it has ddr3 1866 and it's getting frame rates that are pretty comparable even though the 7700 K is scoring the victory here the jewels eons aren't doing that bad again for a 5-year old architecture that's being severely underutilized I would say that it did impress me a lot in this title and of course all three rigs played very well when it came to CPUs performing in this title there was no stud no hiccups accepted modules eons when those barrels were exploding I noticed that that was when stuttering did come into play and the 7700 K did handle that the best so the next title we've got up here is Tom Clancy's the division and this is a title that really impressed me for CPU utilization even on dx11 we can say that the jewels are performing extremely well on this title it is a bit behind the r7 1700 and that is also a bit behind the 7700 K but man all those threads are being utilized and they are being utilized quite well and it's allowing this CPU or this combination of Jules Elms to perform very well as we can see with the GPU utilization it's actually near levels of the r7 1700 and also the 7700 K I was really surprised to see how well these old-school zealand's were performing in this title of course not to detract away from the r7 1700 that is providing a butter smooth experience in this title and also the 7700 K is just racing ahead scoring that victory in this title though was surprising to see it was unexpected that a title like this could actually utilize 32 threads I never knew that this title was as well optimized as it is and so with this sort of with this new focus that I'm going to be taking with the benchmarks is we're going to start seeing that a lot of the onus on smoothness and on optimizations is going to fall on the developers is they can't make a title that's properly utilizing all the threads or utilizing all the hardware then we're going to see things like stuttering and low frame rates and poor performance and this title does look very good graphically it's not a graphically poor title does look very good and it does perform really well with the jewels they are doing extremely well in this title so this can five one of the ultimate showdown in the 720p benchmarks are important to get a grasp of how well these CPUs can perform at their max potential and at least in the games I tested I was very surprised to see that three of the games were actually utilizing all 32 threads on the jillsy on making them pretty relevant especially for an architecture that's 5 years old and only clocks up to 3 gigahertz so that impressed me a lot and as you can see with the r7 1700 all those threads were being utilized in the majority of titles so the r7 1700 coming into the next few years is definitely going to be a great gaming CPU however these 7700 K is still on top pretty much winning all the benchmarks shown here today so stay tuned for part two where I'll be doing the 4k benchmarks to see how well all these rigs will perform at higher resolutions and also on part three we'll be doing those productivity benchmarks so make sure you stay tuned for that and if you have
