8 cores Zen 2 with multi-threading support, 32MB L3 cache. The PCIe 4.0 controller provides 24 lines of this interface.

The carrier of the Zen 2 microarchitecture, created using the 7nm process technology, is a representative of the Ryzen 7 Matisse series. It debuted in 2019 and is among the junior members of its lineup. The 8-core CPU supports multi-threading, which provides the ability to execute up to 16 instruction threads simultaneously. The AMD 3700X BOX processor runs at 3.6 GHz, which automatically increases to 4.4 GHz under heavy loads.

The free multiplier leaves room for safe user overclocking of the “engine”. Also, the model is characterized by 32 MB of cache memory of the third level, support for DDR4 3200 MHz format, compatibility with AM4 motherboards, including the new X570 chipsets. According to the test results, the CPU can be considered one of the main competitors of the Core i7-9700K. The processor looks advantageous against the background of the Intel product in cases where you need a performant workstation that will run resource-intensive software, or a computer for versatile applications.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 7 Matisse series, including models like the 3700X and 3800X, is highly praised for its performance, energy efficiency, and reasonable pricing. Users appreciate its ability to handle gaming and streaming simultaneously, with a decent stock cooler included. The processor is often compared to Intel's offerings, with many noting that it provides similar performance at a lower cost. However, some users report issues with heat management, especially under heavy loads, and recommend undervolting or using better cooling solutions. While some find the performance gain over previous models like the 3600X or Intel's i5 and i7 series to be marginal, others highlight its versatility and power for work tasks and gaming. Overall, the Ryzen 7 Matisse is considered a solid choice for those seeking a balance of performance and value, though potential buyers should be mindful of cooling requirements and compatibility with their existing setups.

Not worth the money and the specs are rubbish
31 August 2020 
I got myself a 3700X box for my setup:
- Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)
- Crucial Ballistix DDR4 2x16Gb BL2K16G32C16U4B
- Kingston A2000 M.2 SA2000M8/500G
I bought all this to replace my old 3570K with overclocking and 16GB (4x4).

For some reason, on my new Asus motherboard, the voltage was set to the max for the processor, over 1.4V. I'm puzzled why the factory does this because, with such a setup, the CPU and chipset on the motherboard would heat up to 50-60°C just with Chrome and Photoshop running under a load not exceeding 20-30%. After adjusting it manually to 1.25V, it immediately dropped by 10°C without any loss of performance.

Overall, compared to the old one, it works faster, but I never felt it was twice as fast, and now I'm wondering why I bothered with the 3700X. I could have just as easily gone for the 3600X or Intel 10500. Since I occasionally do video rendering with my GTX1070 Founders, both the new and old CPUs render 1 hour of video in Premiere in about 10 minutes, with the CPU load at 50-60%. So, can someone tell me what those 8 cores and 16 threads are actually doing when the time is almost the same on the old 4-core processor?

Okay, let's remove the GPU from rendering, and what do I see? 100% CPU load and 1 hour to render = 1 hour, which is exactly what I got with the old CPU... This is a fiasco for AMD. Basically, the point of buying this CPU is nearly zero because the performance gain is maybe 15-20%, at most 30% with DDR4 memory over 7 years...
- We'll assume it's 7nm, I hope they're really there
- 8 cores, still more than 4 in my old CPU and make it a bit faster
- It's cheaper than Intel, but that doesn't mean much in fact
- A decent cooler included, if you don't have a good one, this will do for a while
- AMD sticker =)
- 16 threads of nonsense and everyday realities to the back seat
- 65W TDP nonsense because on b550 motherboards it heats up like a demon (hello AMD heaters, and I thought this wasn't an issue with the new ones) at 1.4V. And this is considering I have it under Noctua NH-D14 and two 140mm Fractal Design intake fans in the case. Even lowering the voltage, I think it should run cooler.
- It's not worth buying it, better to get a cheaper option and with the saved money, get a decent graphics card (RTX 2060 Super or higher) and a fast SSD, you'll get more real benefit.
- Lack of integrated video, some might say it's unnecessary but in critical moments, this thing is a lifesaver.
- Watched loads of video reviews and comparisons, thought I was getting a plane but ended up with a meh processor.. Someone might say it's an excellent chip but I disagree because in my practical usage scenarios, it doesn't prove to be. It's just a hyped and overrated Ryzen.

When choosing between Intel i9 9900k and Ryzen 7 3700x, think again)
24 June 2020 
Since 2004, I have owned computers based on "red" processors - Athlon, Phenom, and I have never regretted it, as I always got decent performance for a reasonable price. Needless to say, when I got the Ryzen 7 3700x, I was as happy as a clam, and with the money I saved (compared to a similar chip from Intel), I upgraded the RAM for the new processor. So, AMD gets my respect!
Speed/power + reasonable price

It's worth the money, it has a new architecture, it's a completely different generation

Everyone who writes that this is garbage, compare it with the Intel Core 9900k, the blue team wins by some 8-10%, but if you have to change the mother for the blue ones for each percentage, then AMD has more opportunities for upgrading.
If you calculate in total how much a computer from AMD, and from Intel and Nvidia will cost, then the conclusion is obvious that the red ones will give you quality for your money, and if you count more upgrades in the future, then the red ones will save your fortune
The difference with the 2700X is strong, but also in performance between both of them - this processor is much better.

The Magnificent Seven

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is currently the optimal processor for serious work in heavy programs like Adobe Premier, After Effects and Lightroom. With eight physical Zen 2 cores and sixteen virtual SMT threads, it costs at least half the price of the competing Intel Core i9-9900K with the same number of cores and threads. Moreover, in professional applications that actively use AVX2 and FMA3 / FMA4 processor technologies, Ryzen 7 is noticeably faster than Core i9.

Progress on the face

The main improvements of the 3000-series Ryzen, compared to its predecessors, was the transition to a more energy-efficient 7-nanometer process technology and an increased IPC, that is, the number of instructions executed per clock. Simply put, even at the same clock speed, Ryzen 3000 processors are able to process larger amounts of data than representatives of the 2000th and, even more so, the 1000th series. But the Ryzen 3000 also has an increased frequency, both base and Precision Boost 2.

Trust automation

So, with a load on one core (two virtual threads), the Ryzen 7 3700X operates at a frequency of 4.4 GHz, which was practically unattainable for the previous Ryzen 7 2700. And with a parallel load on all cores, the CPU operates at 4.1 GHz, which is still much higher than the base 3.6. With all this, it fits snugly into the claimed TDP of 65 watts.

Space for creativity

And if you want to indulge in overclocking (fortunately, the multiplier for all Ryzens is unlocked) and make the CPU work at 4.3 – 4.4 GHz across all cores, then it's better to change a relatively simple boxed cooler to a large tower or dropsy. For complete happiness, the Ryzen 7 3700X only lacks an integrated graphics accelerator so that you can spend the first time without a discrete graphics card if you assemble a PC gradually, for spare parts. And for the most experienced video editors and 3D modelers creating projects in 4K or even 8K resolution, we can recommend the even more powerful Ryzen 9 3900X with 12 cores and 24 threads.
