AMD's performance over the past year has been obvious to all. In April of this year, AMD made persistent efforts to introduce a new second-generation Athlon processor with updated technology and architecture, higher frequency and performance, and lower prices.
Since the second generation of Ruilong, the players are particularly concerned about the mainstream model Ruilong 7 2700, but many people are very difficult to choose whether to choose the Ruilong 7 2700, or the competing Intel Core i7-8700. After all, the prices are very close, currently at 2,299 yuan, most of the time Ruilong 7 2700 is cheaper.
So in order to let players have a better understanding of the contrast between Ruilong 7 2700 and Core i7-8700, we arranged this evaluation to help you understand the performance of the two and other aspects, to see who has more advantages. .
What improvements does AMD's second-generation Ruilong have?
The difference between the Zen+ architecture of AMD's new second-generation Athlon processor and the first generation is still obvious. It has been upgraded from the first-generation 14nm Zen+ architecture to the second-generation 7nm Zen+ architecture, thus making the frequency Higher, the overall performance of the CPU is stronger.
Compared with the first generation of Ruilong, the second generation of the Athlon processor has a leap in overall, especially the frequency can reach more than 4GHz, and the memory frequency has been further improved, with faster memory speed and width, processing The delay of the 1/2 level cache of the device itself is also greatly reduced.
After talking about the architecture, let's talk about AMD Sense MI technology. The second generation of the Athlon processor is more intelligent than the first generation, can be more accurate in terms of frequency, and brings the second generation of automatic adaptation dynamics. The spread spectrum technology XFR2 has a significant improvement over the first generation in neural network prediction, intelligent data prefetching, and precision power control.
Next, let's talk about the Ruilong 7 2700 and Intel i7-8700 to be tested this time.
The second generation of Ruilong still continues the previous packaging, the black outer shell is wrapped with a transparent plastic shell.
The Radiator 7 2700 comes with a radiator that looks different from the Ruilong 5 2600, but the biggest feature is There will be a circle of red light around.
The size of the radiator of the Ruilong 7 2700 is nearly half that of the previous generation. After all, the Ruilong 7 2700 has 8 cores and 16 threads, which will be significant with a more powerful heatsink.
The Ruilong 7 2700 has 8 cores and 16 threads, the processor clocked at 3.2GHz, the maximum acceleration is 4.1GHz, the thermal design power consumption is 65W, the interface type is AM4, and the third-level cache reaches 16MB.
In order to fully test the performance of the Ruilong 7 2700, we used an Intel i7-8700 processor for comparison.
I7-8700 belongs to Intel's eighth-generation Core processor, with 6 cores and 12 threads, clocked at 3.2GHz, core frequency up to 4.6GHz, 14nm process, 12MB L3 cache, interface type LGA1151, thermal design power consumption 65W.
As you can see from the parameters, the strength of the Ruilong 7 2700, Core i7-8700 is still relatively close, but AMD has 2 cores and 4 threads, and Intel generally has a higher frequency in terms of single core. Have an advantage.
So this time let the two processors compete for one time, so that players can clearly understand which processor is the king of chicken.
This test focuses on games, graphics card AMD and Intel platforms use Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1080 Ti, it has 3584 stream processors, clocked at 1569-1683MHz with 11GB GDDR5 large memory capacity, frequency up to 11010MHz, with 352 bits Bit width.
Test platform and test content
The above is the test platform configuration. Note that the two sets of platforms have their own heat sinks, so that players can clearly know the effect of the original heat dissipation, whether to replace the more advanced third-party radiator.
The test items are as follows:
CPU details and test settings:
锐龙7 2700 CPU-ZDetails
Intel i7 8700 CPU-Z Details
This test uses the default frequency for testing, does not perform 'lock frequency' operation on the processor, which can simulate the effect of the players in daily use.
At the same time, the high performance in the Windows system power option is turned on during the test, so that the performance of the processor is not limited.
