Launch price in today's dollars

The Ryzen 7 1700 launched at $329 in 2017. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $444 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 35% rise over 9 years. At its launch price that is 35 Blender points per $100.

Method: launch price × (CPI 2026 average ÷ CPI 2017 average), calendar-year averages of BLS series CPIAUCSL. 2026 covers 7 months so far.

Blender rendering score

Median score 116 (middle half of runs 110–123) across 62 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #176 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #3 of 5 in the Ryzen 1000 series.

This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
