These results showcase how amazing the 5nm CCD of the Zen 4 architecture is when compared to Zen 3. This processor keeps up with the Ryzen 9 7950X and wipes the floor with the old Ryzen 9 5950X when it comes to frame rates, mainly due to its impressive single-core 5.55GHz performance. To put it simply, it’s one of the best AMD gaming CPUs out there right now. That’s pretty darn impressive and begs the question, why AMD didn’t just make this a 65W chip in the first place? EARNING ITS SPURSĪs impressive as the efficiency mode is, it’s the out-and-out gaming performance where this Ryzen 7 7700X is going to earn its spurs.

So, that’s a win-win for everyone, right? When testing on Cinebench at 65W, we see results that are 95 percent of what we got when testing at 105W. Thermal figures and power consumption are lower, which also results in a quieter system overall. We were particularly impressed by AMD’s Eco Mode (enabled via the Ryzen Master software), which is able to deliver 95 percent or above of the chip’s stock performance, but at much lower power usage. AMD test bed consists of an ASRock X670E Taichi motherboard, Nvidia RTX 3080 10GB GPU, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 C元0 2x 16GB RAM, 1TB WD Black SN850 SSD, Corsair H100i RGB cooler and NZXT 850W PSU. Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DX12, Highest, 1080p) (fps)īest scores in bold. It contains the same 105W TDP as the Ryzen 7 5800X and 5800X3D, but its 5nm compute and 6nm I/O dies deliver efficiency improvements. This is last-gen overclocking performance from a stock Zen 4 chip. That’s some healthy stats right there-we even measured it running at 5.55GHz under single-core loads. As mentioned above, this chip packs in eight all-new Zen 4 cores, and 16 threads, while offering an all-core frequency of 5.15GHz straight out of the box. So there is certainly more to this chip than meets the eye.Įssentially, the Ryzen 7 7700X replaces the Ryzen 7 5800X in the AMD hierarchy. However, fast forward to the present day, and (spoiler!) the Ryzen 7 7700X outperforms it in the majority of games. Earlier in the year, AMD made a huge deal when it crammed a ludicrous amount of 元 cache into the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, making that chip the fastest AMD gaming CPU ever. On paper, AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X seems ordinary, but it offers a generational leap in performance.īut a gap filler it most certainly isn’t.
