Ryzen 5 1600 vs Ryzen 7 1700
Description
Both models 1600 and 1700 are based on Zen architecture.
Zen is the first Ryzen generation. It uses 14nm FinFET process from GlobalFoundries. It has support for DDR4 memory and ECC. Comes with 64kB instruction + 32kB data L1 cache and 512kB L2 cache per core.
Using the multithread performance as a reference, the 1600 gets a score of 303.4 k points while the 1700 gets 333.3 k points.
Summarizing, the 1700 is 1.1 times faster than the 1600. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

AVX2 optimized benchmark
The benchmark in mode III (AVX2), like AVX1, is optimized to used 256 bits registers beside the second version of the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). The first AVX2 compatible CPU was released in 2013.

Monothread performance graph
Monothread performance graphics gives the performance vs time. They are useful to measure the time it takes to the CPU to reach the maximum performance.
Usually, CPU's performance will be steady during these tests but if it has a slow frequency strategy, the first samples will show a lower score.

Multithread performance graph
Multithread graphs measure the performance against a heavy load during certain time.
If CPU's TDP doesn't limit the frequency and the machine is properly cooled, performance should remain steady vs time. Otherwise, the performance score will oscillate or decrease over time.
