Ryzen 3700X 10 Games tested with RX 6800XT in 1080p, 1440p
16AMD's third generation Ryzen CPUs boast higher clockspeeds and more cores than the previous first and second gen parts, and the Ryzen 7 3700X is now one of the best CPUs for gaming. Zen 2 CPUs are so good that AMD almost doesn't need the faster offerings. Its second-string 3700X is perfectly capable of running the offense, and it isn't quite as demanding when it comes to signing bonuses and contracts. For those teams (aka PCs) with salary cap concerns that can't quite justify chasing the 3900X, the 3700X is a versatile QB that can throw a quick short pass, scamper downfield for a modest gain, or even launch the long ball when occasion requires.
When it comes to playing football—running PC games—there's not a huge difference between the 3700X and the 3900X. In fact, there's hardly any difference at all. For gaming, the 3700X and 3900X are effectively tied, and you can safely ignore the barely faster 3800X. It's 1-4 percent better (according to tests at Tom's Hardware) for the extra $70. But I'm jumping ahead.
Maximum boost clocks on the 3800X are only 100MHz higher than the 3700X, but minimum 'guaranteed' clocks are potentially 300MHz higher. In practice, however, the 3700X mostly runs well above the minimum clockspeed, particularly in light to medium workloads. If you do a lot of 3D rendering or video encoding, moving to the Ryzen 9 3900X makes sense, but for everyone else the 3700X is a great choice. Alternatively, the previous gen AMD parts are now priced to move—the Ryzen 7 2700X regularly sells for $220 or less.
