Storage: 2TB Gigabyte Aorus M.2 SSD (NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4) Case: Corsair Crystal Series 570X RGB That’s remarkably fast for an SSD.ĬPU: 3.8Ghz AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-core, 36MB cache, up to 4.4GHz) In our own testing, the Aorus PCIe 4.0 SSD that AMD provided was able to get up to 4,996 MB/s sequential read speeds.
Through this superior connection, NVMe SSDs are potentially up to 51% faster than their non-PCIe 4.0 peers. However, the way we look at it, SSDs are the real stars of the PCIe 4.0 show. When paired with an AMD Navi graphics card like the Radeon RX 5700 XT or RX 5700, you'll experience much better performance, thanks to increased bandwidth. The major addition to the 3rd Generation of Ryzen, however, is PCIe 4.0.

This GameCache isn't anything entirely new, but it does show that this will help boost gaming performance in some cases – especially in older 1080p esports games. Essentially, this processor has a grand total of 36MB of Cache, which AMD lumps together as 'GameCache'. With Ryzen 3rd Generation, as the CPU cores are on their own chiplets, AMD was able to pack way more L2 and 元 cache into the Ryzen 7 3700X – with 4MB and 32MB, respectively. That’s not big enough to be evident in day-to-day workloads, but it does still mean something. Effectively, compared to a Ryzen 2nd Generation processor at the same clock speed, you will get a straight 15% increase in performance.
This decision to 7nm has brought a beefy 15% boost to IPC (instructions per clock) performance. What this means for most people is lower power consumption and much improved performance at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, like the rest of AMD's Zen 2 processors, is built on a 7nm manufacturing node – the smallest in a commercially available CPU.
