AMD Ryzen 7 7700 review: 'An absolute no brainer to go with this non-X model.'
. For starters, it's an eight-core, 16-thread chip which is plenty for gaming and almost anything else short of pro-level content creation.sibling, this is a single-die, eight-core chip with none of the performance compromises that come with AMD's pricier 12 and 16-core CPUs and their dual-die configurations, as minor as those compromises are in most cases.
It's also significantly cheaper, ostensibly much more efficient and barely any slower than the existing Ryzen 7 7700X. And when we say significantly cheaper, we do mean it. The plain old 7700 lists at $329 to the 7700X's $399. What's more, that $329 price includes an AMD Wraith CPU cooler you don't get with the 7700X. Nice.
Even better, unlike Intel processors all AMD chips are unlocked. So, there's the tantalising prospect of running this cheaper 7700 chip at 7700X speeds. What's not to like? That's what we're here to find out. But first let's cover off the speeds and feeds. Architecturally, the AMD Ryzen 7 is a dead ringer for the 7700X model. It has the same eight-core CPU die built on TSMC 5nm technology, plus a 6nm I/O die complete with a mini GPU that's best viewed as a backup should you be temporarily short of a proper graphics card.
