In our experience, Ryzen CPUs all tend to overclock about the same, too, so it’s not worth paying extra for a top-end model when a cheaper part will likely respond to tuning in a similar fashion.Įnter the 65-W Ryzen 7 2700. AMD’s Precision Boost logic goes out the window when one overclocks any Ryzen part, so those folks likely just want a Ryzen chip that will get out of the way and let them pursue peak all-core clock speeds. On the other end, overclockers who are going to shelve or sell the AMD stock cooler probably don’t want to shell out for the Ryzen 7 2700X’s stock-clocked smarts and fancy heatsink.
On one end of the spectrum of PC enthusiasm, small-form-factor systems and low-noise builds want a lower-TDP chip that can be cooled using slimmer hardware than AMD’s own Wraith Prism. AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X has proven itself an impressive range-topper for the second generation of Ryzen CPUs, but that chip’s 105-W TDP and attendant cooling requirements aren’t the right fit for every PC.
