AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Zen 4 CPU Benchmarked In Cinebench R20, Up To 25% Faster Single-Threaded Performance
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU benchmarked here seems to be an engineering sample that seems to be running at just a 4.5 GHz base clock which matches the base clock of the retail model though we don’t know if the maximum boost frequency also reached as high as 5.4 GHz as the final model. As always, the results from an ES chip aren’t indicative of the final performance but before we get to the benchmark itself, the following are the specifications that the chip has to offer.
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8 Core “Zen 4” Desktop CPU
For the Ryzen 7 7000 family, we have the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, an 8-core and 16-thread part. AMD positions this as the sweet spot for gamers and as such, the CPU will feature a base clock of 4.5 GHz and a boost clock of 5.4 GHz but at a lower 105W TDP (142W PPT). The CPU will get a 40 MB cache pool which consists of 32 MB L3 from the singular CCD &8 MB L2 from the Zen 4 cores. Now one interesting thing to mention is that there is so far no update by AMD on a Ryzen 7 7800X chip. It is likely that AMD wants to replace that part with a successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with Zen 4 cores (3D V-Cache). If that was the case, we can expect an update later this year to the CPU lineup since the V-Cache parts have been confirmed for a late Q4 2022 launch by AMD themselves. Also, based on the segmentation alone, it looks like the Ryzen 7 7700X will be priced really well in the mainstream segment. The CPU was earlier spotted in its almost retail-ready state a few days ago.
AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ Desktop CPU Specs (Official):
The performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Zen 4 CPU was benchmarked within Cinebench R20. This is a fairly older benchmark compared to the new Cinebench R23 release. In single-core, the chip score 773 points while in multi-core, the chip score 7701 points. For comparison, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X scores around 6100 points in multi-core and 620 points in single-core which means that we are looking at a 25% faster single-threaded and a 26% faster multi-threaded performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X “Zen 4” CPU will launch alongside the rest of the lineup next month. AMD also plans to do a full unveiling later this month. AMD Ryzen ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPU Expected Features:
Up To 16 Zen 4 Cores and 32 Threads Over 15% Performance Uplift In Single-Threaded Apps Brand New Zen 4 CPU Cores (IPC / Architectural Improvements) Brand New TSMC 5nm process node with 6nm IOD 25% Performance Per Watt Improvement Vs Zen 3 >35% Overall Performance Improvement Vs Zen 3 8-10% Instructions Per Clock (IPC) Improvement Vs Zen 3 Support on AM5 Platform With LGA1718 Socket New X670E, X670, B650E, B650 Motherboards Dual-Channel DDR5 Memory Support Up To DDR5-5600 Native (JEDEC) Speeds 28 PCIe Lanes (CPU Exclusive) 105-120W TDPs (Upper Bound Range ~170W)
