Earlier this week, it was revealed that AMD was getting ready to introduce its Non-X Ryzen 7000 CPUs, which would help the AM5 platform gain more traction. The Ryzen 7 7700, the non-X variant of the 7700X with a similar core structure but a different TDP and clock speed, is one of the Non-X chips that have slipped out.
The Ryzen 7 7700 Shows Impressive Performance at GeekBench Benchmarks
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Non-X CPU has eight cores and 16 threads, based on the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture, to start with the specs. The chip’s base clock speed is 3.8 GHz, which is 700 MHz slower than the 7700X’s, while its boost clock speed is 5.3 GHz. Although the accurate maximum boost clock is unknown, the test program stated that the chip was operating at 5.35 GHz. The CPU keeps the same 32 MB L3 and 8 MB L2 cache configuration. The CPU has a 65W TDP compared to the X variant’s 105W TDP. An ASRock X670E Taichi motherboard with DDR5-4800 memory was used to test the CPU. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Non-X CPU performed well, earning 2062 single-core scores and 12,685 multi-core points. The Non-X CPU performs around 5% worse in single-core testing and about 10% slower in multi-threading tests when compared to the Ryzen 7 7700X. The performance decline is acceptable given the changes in clock speed and TDP. The CPU performs worse than the Ryzen 7 7600X in the single-core test (2062 points vs. 2125 points). However, it performs 13% better in the multi-core test (1268 points vs. 11215 points). Unfortunately, neither the Ryzen 7 5700 nor the Intel 13th Gen Core series are listed in Geekbench’s official rating. There is no information on whether these chips will be sold in the retail market in addition to the OEM market or if their cost will be more than or cheaper than the “X” chips. In the following months, AMD is anticipated to release its Non-X Ryzen 7000 CPUs, including the Ryzen 7 7700, and we’ll be sure to keep you informed as we learn more about them.
