Level up your gaming, with the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is optimised for mid-range gaming. With all-new Zen 4 architecture, this processor is unlike any desktop processor in terms of performance. Utilising an innovative 5nm process, the die size has been reduced by 18% whilst IPC uplifts by roughly 13%. This model is the mid-range edition, with 8 cores, 16 threads, and SMT technology. Built for AM5 sockets, this processor supports DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and is future-proofed for upcoming advancements. Expect great things from this CPU.
As a mid-range CPU from the new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X delivers on gaming performance. In fact, AMD promise it’s part of the fastest CPU range for gaming currently on the market (at time of launch). Boasting eight cores and sixteen threads, this processor utilises SMT (simultaneous multithreading technology) to optimise performance during gaming workloads. Base frequencies for this processor are 4.5GHz, but this can be boosted up to 5.4GHz with the use of Precision Boost 2 or Precision Boost Overdrive.
Overall, this latest generation of Ryzen processors has an incredible uplift in performance and IPC (instructions per cycle). Intelligently split into L1, L2, and L3 tiers, there is 40MB total cache, to increase the amount of accessible information available. Game with smooth frame rates, stream in high definition, and create content flawlessly. The maximum 105W TDP delivers premium performance, enabling you to get the most out of this processor.
With the new generation of processors comes a new architecture. Evolving the highly performative Zen 3, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU utilises the innovative Zen 4 architecture. The new front-end design is paired with machine learning, enabling a better focus on core performance. Large frequency fluctuations are avoided thanks to the 256-bit data width, which also speeds up language and image processing.
Constantly innovating, AMD has integrated fourth-generation FinFET technology creating the world’s first 5mn consumer CPU. Overall, the processor is smaller, faster, and with lower power transistors to optimise performance. Whilst the die is 18% smaller, new features have been integrated that not only enable great functionality, but improve the energy efficiency of the processor. At the same power output, there is up to 49% more performance than seen in the previous architecture.
A key feature of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is how future-proofed the platform has been made. Starting with the new socket, AM5. AMD want this to be the platform that grows with you, supporting upcoming technological advances and industry standards.
For memory, AM5 will support DDR5 RAM modules, with maximum memory speeds up to 5200 MT/s. Additionally, a memory overclocking program has been developed specifically for the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series and DDR5, called AMD EXPO. This will offer optimised, on-click overclocking that can enhance 1080p gaming by 11% and reduce latency by up to 63ns.
The other future-proof feature is PCIe support. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is equipped with PCIe 5.0, for both graphics cards and storage. Enjoy ultra-fast connectivity on all your PCIe devices.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU has integrated Radeon RDNA 2 graphics, built on an all-new I/O die in 6nm with advanced low-power Navi 2 architecture. This die operates with better efficiency than previous models, thanks to a low power draw when idle or under medium loads.
To operate an AMD Ryzen 7700X CPU, a motherboard equipped with an AM5 1718 LGA socket is essential. The compatible chipsets are:
To optimise compatibility, AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs can be equipped with either an AM4 AIO or air CPU coolers or AM5 AIO or air CPU coolers. No cooler is included within the scope of delivery.
The AMD Rzyen 7 7700X CPU is great for mainstream gaming. The eight cores and sixteen threads are equipped with SMT technology to effortlessly handle complex processes. What’s more, the Zen 4 architecture is packed with features that will optimise your performance.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU is compatible with the AMD AM5 socket. This AMD socket uses a land grid array (LGA) rather than a pin grad array (PGA), so there is no cross compatibility with AMD AM4 sockets. However, the outer socket shape has been designed so that your AM4 coolers will remain compatible.
The AMD Ryzen 7000 Series supports DDR5 RAM, this includes the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X. The recommended memory speeds are between 5200MHz and 6000MHz.

I bought this CPU as part of a whole system upgrade from a 5700x AM4 system. The new CPU is super quick idling around 40 deg. The temps can increase quick as the workload increases maxing out around 80deg well within the operating limits. This cpu works well with the coolermaster 240l AIO cooler in a system with a 850w PSU. Good buy.
Have to say this is one of the best CPUs out there. Good balance between performance and value for money.
With this CPU you can have the best of both worlds and this is why I went for it after the reviews as it beats the 7600X and 7950X in some workloads and games. This time with the Ryzen 7000 series I truly think the 7700X is the sweet spot for the enthusiast and again with AM5 platform you are going to have the longevity as you did with AM4. The price on the other hand is a jump but prices are going up for everything and at least with AMD you know they will come down. Im more than happy with the performance of this chip. Also 10/10 for Overclockers for the speed in which they deliver their goods.
