AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPUs are now on sale at multiple stores ahead of their official retail debut on January 10th. The retail embargo for AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPUs, including the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600, does not lift until next Tuesday (10th January), although shops have begun retail activity. Here are a couple of the vendors who have already listed these CPUs, including Newegg Canada and Athema UK.
- Ryzen 9 7900 – $589.99 (Newegg CA)
- Ryzen 9 7900 – £457.20 (Athema UK)
- Ryzen 9 7900 – 3199 RMB (Taobao CN)
- Ryzen 7 7700 – £352.80 (Athema UK)
- Ryzen 7 7700 – $459.99 (Newegg CA)
- Ryzen 7 7700 – 2299 RMB (Taobao CN)
- Ryzen 7 7700 – No Price (SH VN)
- Ryzen 5 7600 – 1549 RMB (Taobao CN)
AMD introduced three new Ryzen 7000 Non-X Desktop CPU models: the Ryzen 9 7900 with 12 cores, the Ryzen 7 7700 with 8 cores, and the Ryzen 5 7600 with 6 cores. The three new models will use the Zen 4 core architecture and have a TDP of 65W, which is significantly lower than the ‘X’ parts, while maintaining the same core combinations and Zen 4 core architecture.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor will have 12 cores, 24 threads, 76 MB of cache (64 MB L3 + 12 MB L3), and a maximum clock speed of 5.4 GHz.
The CPU will cost $429 USD, which is $120 USD more than the Ryzen 9 7900X. While the base clock remains unknown, the boost clock has been reduced by 200 MHz, but given the price point, this 12-core processor looks great, and I can already see a lot of people upgrading to this sub-$500 US 12-Core Zen 4 chip. AMD will place the processor alongside the Intel Core i9-13900 and Core i9-12900 CPUs.
The Ryzen 7 7700 comes next, with 8 cores, 16 threads, 40 MB of cache (32 MB L3 + 8 MB L3), and a maximum clock speed of up to 5.3 GHz. The CPU will cost $329 USD, which is $70 USD less than the Ryzen 7 7700X, which costs $399 USD. Given its 65W power budget, the Ryzen 7 7700 appears to be clocked just 100 MHz lower than the Ryzen 7 7700X. Given the 1.375x multiplier for the PPT, the total TDP should be approximately 90-100W. The Ryzen 7 7700 will compete with the Core i7-13700 and Core i7-12700 processors.
Finally, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 will have 6 cores, 12 threads, 38 MB of cache (32 MB L3 + 6 MB L2), and a maximum clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz. The CPU will cost $229 USD, which is $70 USD less than the Ryzen 5 7600X, which costs $299 USD. The boost clock of the ‘X’ chip is 200 MHz slower. The Ryzen 5 7600 will compete with the Core i5-13600 and Core i5-12600 CPUs.
