Let’s face it… smaller CPUs overclock like scaled cats in comparison to larger core CPUs. This is why the 7700K’s gaming performance lead only widens when both it and the Ryzen 7 series are overclocked. However four cores, even four heavily overclocked cores, simply cannot compete against an eight core beast like the Ryzen 7 series. Honestly, for all but hardcore PC gaming enthusiast, consider the Ryzen 7 1700’s extra thirty bucks money well spent!
