AMD has revealed the official details, prices, specs and release date for its new Ryzen 7000 CPU series. In addition, the red team shared some performance figures for these new CPUs (though not any framerate/traditional benchmarks).
AMD will launch four new CPU models on September 27th. These CPU models are the Ryzen 5 7600X, the Ryzen 7 7700X, the Ryzen 9 7900X and the Ryzen 7950X.
The Ryzen 5 7600X will have 6 cores and 12 threads, 38MB of cache, a TDP of 105W, and will be priced at $299. On the other hand, the Ryzen 7 7700X will have 8 cores and 16 threads, 40MB of cache, a TDP of 105W, and an MSRP of $399. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X will have 12 CPU cores and 24 threads, 76MB of cache, a TDP of 170W, and an MSRP of $549. And lastly, the Ryzen 9 7950X model will have 16 cores and 32 threads, 80MB of cache, a TDP of 170W, and will be priced at $699.
AMD claims that the new Ryzen series will offer a 13% IPC performance boost, as well as up to 29% performance improvements in single-core performance.
AMD also shared some graphs, in which it claimed that the Ryzen 9 7950X can be up to 35% faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Lastly, the red team claims that the Ryzen 5 7600X is faster by 5% on average than Intel’s i9 12900K.
Naturally, we suggest waiting until the first third-party benchmarks from various media outlets hit the Internet. My guess is that this will happen a couple of days prior to the official release of these new CPUs!

They said the 7600x is 5% faster than the 12900k, not the 7950x. Dunno if that’s the 12900k with ddr5 or not. Still rather impressive for a 6 core $299 part. Competition is a wonderful thing.
Yeah, fixed
For both platforms they used G. Skill DDR5-6000 CL30 memory, same CPU cooler, and the same GPU. You can find the info from AMD’s legal disclosures page: https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/ryzen-7000-claims
Good price but for someone like me with 5800X this gen and probably the next three ones are not worth it.
Zen 4, definitely not. Zen 4 with v-cache, maybe if your primary use is gaming. Zen 5 however is supposedly going to have some notable performance gains based on some early rumours. The CTO also referred to Zen 5 as having a “new grounds-up core” during the presentation yesterday so there might be some validity to it. Of course it’s still way too early as Zen 4 isn’t even out yet, but I personally remain cautiously optimistic about Zen 5. And who knows, maybe by the time Zen 5 is out games will FINALLY get some decent performance scaling on CPUs that have more than 6 cores/12 threads.
I think they said in the presentation that Zen 5 is a complete redesign
Way yoo expensive. You would need to buy expensive DDR5 and a new mobo too.
Power usage is also still not improved, my electricity bill can not afford 170W CPU.
If you just want to game the 7600x uses way less power then anything else on the market.
Unless you want to game on a laptop.
But no PC gamer would go that far for his energy bill.
It’s more energy efficient than its predecessor
Looks intressting indeed, competition is great even when it seems amd is going for quite heavy cost increase! Hope they havent skimped to much on security for the sake of persomance so we will have too much performance zapping microcode updates later…. and yes… that goes for all major cpu brands! Playing fast and loose isnt good in the long run for us consumers who expects a product to peform according to early reviews. Would actually be great to see some re-reviews to see what happened to performance a few scurity hole plugs later….
Brand havent ever mattered to me as long as one don’t have any major downsides. Have both an render machine (amd based) and an game rid (intel) both bought for what they did best at the time of purchase. Will be intressting to see who win the gaming crown this time as its the next rig to upgrade
Its almost like those technologies already exist, but they cant sell it all at once, so they extend it as much they can, ryzen 7000, then 8000 , 9000 , the tech is all there nothing new they found, but its just like they are being given tech and have it in their storage, and only release it in a controlled manner.
You know how long producing a new CPU takes?
About 5 years!
Right now, there are people at both AMD & Intel starting to design a CPU architecture that is going to be released by the year 2027.
So of course they already have prototypes & engineering samples in their labs for next year’s upcoming product, which is evident by the fact that there are already Linux patches floating around for Intel’s 14th gen. CPU codenamed “Meteor Lake”, that is expected to launch in late 2023.
so, right now, amd ryzen cpu = intel cpu, because both of them, it have gpu onboard … !! ^^
