About the Intel Core i7-3770 CPU
The Intel Core i7-3770 is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012 with a suggested retail price of $278. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. The i7-3770 is compatible with Intel Socket 1155 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i7-3770 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-3770 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i7-3770 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i7-3770 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4000. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Core i7-3770 has the 259th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.69% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 9,502 score and $278 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 34.18. This is the 105th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 1700 is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2017 with a suggested retail price of $329. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 1700 is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Ryzen 7 1700 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 1700 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Ryzen 7 1700 features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.0 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Ryzen 7 1700 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Ryzen 7 1700 has the 179th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 34.39% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 12,723 score and $329 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 38.67. This is the 82nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
