Buy Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 7 7700X: That’s what the new CPUs cost and can do

According to AMD, the Zen 4 should be 60 percent faster than Intel’s Alder Lake aka Core CPUs of the 12th generation and work 50 percent more efficiently. At today’s market launch there are four different models, with the Ryzen 9 7950X being the spearhead. The six-core Ryzen 5 7600X serves as an entry point. The new processors are produced by contract manufacturer TSMC using the advanced 5 nm process, while the new I/O die runs off the assembly line at the Taiwanese using 6 nm production.

The top model has 16 cores that can provide up to 32 threads. Thanks to the new production, higher clock rates are possible compared to the predecessor Ryzen 5950X. Two cores can boost up to 5.8 GHz, the base clock is 4.5 GHz. However, the TDP of this model is 170 watts, which has already led to discussions. The Ryzen 9 7950X top model is available in stores at a price of 849 euros. With a price tag of 669 euros, the Ryzen 9 7900X is over 200 euros cheaper, offers 12 cores and also has a TDP of 170 watts. The eight-core Ryzen 7 7700X and the six-core Ryzen 5 7600X come with a lower TDP. Both CPUs have a TDP of 105 watts. With an RRP of 359 euros, the six-core is the cheapest model, while the Ryzen 7 7700X is sold for 479 euros. In some scenarios, the Ryzen 7 7700X outperforms the previous generation Ryzen 9 5900X, according to CPU expert David Ney in the PCGH test.

All new Ryzen 7000 have an integrated iGPU of the type RDNA 2, which is equipped with two CUs. DDR5-5200 RAM and PCI Express 5.0 for graphics cards and M2 SSDs are also supported. according to the The built-in Radeon graphics are sufficient for colleagues from Golem for everyday office work and Crysis. Monitors can be connected via HDMI 2.1 or Displayport 2.0. In multithread applications, colleagues measure over 50 percent more performance with Ryzen 7000. However, the new Ryzen CPUs require the new AM5 boards. The two I/O hubs X670 and X670 Extreme will be available right from the market launch, whereby it X670E mainboards from around 622 euros are. Cheaper motherboards with a B650 I/O hub will not be available until October. After all, AMD plans to support the AM5 socket until at least 2025, so that the successor to the Ryzen 7000 can also be operated on a purchased motherboard. By the end of May 2022, 70 million AM4 CPUs had already been delivered. The socket on which five different CPU architectures can find their place has been available since 2016. Recently came about with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D a new desktop processor for AM4 mainboards on the market.
