It's the blessing and curse of increased competition.Īll of AMD's third-gen parts were tested in the MSI MEG X570 Godlike board (with similar results from Asus and Gigabyte boards). stock, and AMD's CPUs might get an extra 200-300MHz, which just isn't that exciting. Intel's Core i9-9900K might get an extra 400MHz vs. The days of massive gains via overclocking your CPU are largely behind us now. It's still only 200MHz extra at best, which means less than a 5 percent improvement, and often in the 1-3 percent range. You sacrifice boost clocks for higher all-core clocks, though with the 3700X there's at least a bit more gain from enabling Precision Boost Overdrive. That's because it generally doesn't help much. Every PC is on equal footing as much as possible, in other words.Īs with other Ryzen CPUs, I didn't do extensive overclocking tests on the Ryzen 7 3700X. That's sort of overclocking, and potentially helps AMD CPUs more than Intel chips, but this is the lightest/easiest form of overclocking around and all modern CPUs have easily handled the higher memory speeds. It's just not how I do things), all CPUs are tested with high speed DDR4-3200 CL14 memory, with XMP memory profiles enabled. Unlike some other sites (and I'm not faulting their testing protocols.
