AMD Ryzen 7

There’s rarely just one player in any game, and while Intel has long held the banner as the most recognizable (and possibly respected) name in the processor game, AMD has made incredible strides over the years by offering ultra-affordable CPUs, as well as graphics cards, that meet or exceed the performance needs and demands of today’s modern consumer. AMD Ryzen™ processors are available in three performance tiers: Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9. Each of these consumer-based AMD processors can easily manage the common needs of computer users, whether you’re gaming, conducting business, or creating. More recently, AMD Ryzen Threadripper™ processors were released, representing something wholly new, and immensely powerful, for performance workstations.

Lenovo offers laptops, desktops, and workstations that feature all the above-mentioned AMD tech and more. Select Lenovo AMD gaming laptops and AMD gaming PCs also feature AMD Radeon™ graphics cards that are powerful and acclaimed alternatives to the NVIDIA® GeForce® line of GPUs.

The benefits of AMD processors

The latest AMD processors feature the company’s new “Zen” microarchitecture. AMD Ryzen CPUs feature a smaller, 14 nm transistor construction that’s more power and heat efficient than earlier designs and enables greater core/thread utilization.

Ryzen CPUs are also known for extremely high core counts, especially in models built for desktop PCs and servers, where interior cooling space is abundant. For laptops, simple-but-powerful quad-core Ryzen processors dominate the offerings.

Here are some of the reasons many buyers prefer AMD processors:

  • Price – Many factors beside the CPU contribute to the total price of a laptop — RAM allotment, hard drive type, display size, and so on. AMD processors are said to cost less per core, generally, than those built by its major competitor. This means that laptops with AMD processors often cost a bit less than comparable models with competing CPUs.

  • AMD graphics – In addition to processors, AMD is also a leading innovator in the field of graphics processors, both integrated (that is, on the same chip as the CPU) and discrete (on a separate, dedicated graphics chip or GPU). This makes some users prefer AMD processors on the theory they work more optimally with AMD graphics.

  • Multi-threading and over-clocking – In addition to having multiple cores (i.e., separate processing channels), most AMD processors are capable of multi-threading and over-clocking. Nearly every CPU today is multi-threaded, which maximizes the use of each core by more efficiently organizing the commands it receives. Over-clocking – a feature that AMD enables more than other processor makers — allows the CPU to temporarily run at faster-than-rated speeds when needed.

It’s easy to see why AMD tech is so highly prized by a wide cross-section of PC users.

AMD business laptops & desktops

Small businesses, arguably, may benefit from a value-based alternative more than most. But it’s important to keep your budget in check as you work to grow into a corporate powerhouse. At the same time, you can’t sacrifice productivity just to save a few bucks. Fortunately, AMD tech has been long known for its reliability and durability over time – something that small businesses strive for in an effort to stave off crippling computer replacements. What’s more, many of Lenovo’s most stylish business desktops under our IdeaCentre line have reliable and affordable AMD processors built-in.

AMD gaming laptops & PCs

One of the areas AMD has gained ground in consumer perception more than any other is in the gaming community. AMD processors, especially, are widely employed in both prebuilt gaming desktops offered by OEMs such as Lenovo, and at-home gaming PC builds. Due to their affordability and reliability, AMD Ryzen CPUs are being snatched up by gamers who are either building their own PC or finally upgrading from a dated CPU.

While perhaps utilized less by gamers than their CPU counterparts, AMD Radeon graphics cards have long been respected GPU solutions for their innovation and affordability. Lenovo offers a plethora of AMD gaming PCs that offer one or both of these AMD components. In particular, select Lenovo Legion laptops combine the latest AMD Ryzen mobile process with power discrete graphics that keep the latest AAA PC games running smoothly.

Lenovo AMD laptops and AMD desktops

    Release Date

    Image Source: AMD

    The Ryzen 7000 CPUs were released on September 27, 2022.

    In this September release, AMD released the following processors: Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X.

    Fortunately, we should also see new lower TDP SKUs such as the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600. Based on WCCFTech’s sources, these new CPUs will be announced at CES 2023 (January 4th) and will release on January 10, 2023.

    The pricing for these CPUs also leaked some time ago which you can check out below!

    We might also hear about 3D V-Cache Ryzen 7000s during the CES event.

    Here are the potential X3D variants: Ryzen 7 7700X or 7800X, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

    For motherboards, you can pick from the higher-end X670 and X670E (Extreme) motherboards, which were released in September, or you could go for the cheaper options like the B650 and B650E.

    If you’re looking for mobile CPUs or APUs, check out AMD’s roadmap below.

    AMD’s Dragon Range and Phoenix lineups will be delivered throughout 2023. Dragon Range CPUs will be for extreme gaming laptops with 55W+ CPUs, while Phoenix will be for thin and light gaming laptops.

    Both of these lineups are based on the Zen 4 architecture.

    Note that these new processors will be on a new platform with DDR5 RAM. So, if you want to stay on AM4 for now, check out Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X), Ryzen 5 5500, and Ryzen 5800X3D.

    Price

    Ryzen 7000 new packaging – Image Source: AMD

    Here is the initial pricing for Ryzen 7000 CPUs.

    • Ryzen 5 7600X – $299
    • Ryzen 7 7700X – $399
    • Ryzen 9 7900X – $549
    • Ryzen 9 7950X – $699

    Considering Intel’s very aggressive price points for more cores/threads, the initial response for AMD’s new Ryzens was substandard. Sales were also below what AMD originally expected.

    To add to that, Ryzen 7000 does not support DDR4 motherboards and RAM which are substantially cheaper than the DDR5 platform while Intel’s 13th gen supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

    Fortunately, Ryzen 7000’s bad pricing led to price cuts on all four SKUs on the official AMD store.

    Here are the new prices:

    • Ryzen 5 7600X – $249
    • Ryzen 7 7700X – $349
    • Ryzen 9 7950X $574
    • Ryzen 9 7900X – $474

    Although it’s possible that these price cuts are only temporary for Black Friday week and the holidays. And, considering that non-X CPUs are about to release with similar prices, the X-variant CPUs will probably go back to their original price.

    Here are the price leaks for Ryzen 7000 non-X variants:

    • Ryzen 5 7600 – $229
    • Ryzen 7 7700 – $329
    • Ryzen 9 7900 – $429

    Here are the price leaks for Ryzen 7000X3D:

    • Ryzen 7 7700/7800X3D – $509
    • Ryzen 9 7900X3D – $649
    • Ryzen 9 7950 X3D – $799

    Although, keep in mind there are rumors circulating that we won’t see X3D CPUs with more than 8 cores.

    Let’s jump into the specifications and performance of these CPUs!

    Specifications

    Image Source: AMD

    With Intel’s Alder Lake lineup in full swing and Raptor Lake in the works, AMD catches up with Zen 4.

    AMD made considerable increases in clock speeds on all SKUs (more on that later) by moving from a 7nm process node to a 5nm node and increased TDP too.

    Image Source: AMD

    “We designed Zen 4 to run significantly faster than our previous generation and that increase in frequency can translate into a smoother gaming experience. And while this is just one example we’re really excited for gamers to get their hands on our Ryzen 7000 series.”

    AMD CEO Lisa Su, Computex 2022

    The Ryzen 9 7950X has the highest max frequency at 5.7 GHz, while the lowest is 5.3 GHz for the Ryzen 5 7600X.

    All Ryzen 7000 series also have 13% IPC Uplift and 29% better single-thread performance than Ryzen 5000 CPUs.

    Image Source: AMD

    Additionally, all of these Zen 4 CPUs come with an RDNA 2 iGPU, but it may not be as powerful as we thought. Nonetheless, it’s an improvement over no iGPU at all for video display.

    Efficiency is another huge advantage for Zen 4, even though the SKUs are running at higher TDP than Ryzen 5000.

    Image Source: AMD

    AMD also introduced AI + HPC acceleration to improve its support for AVX-512 instructions.

    Here is a table of Ryzen 7000 SKUs that will release on September 27:

    SKU Cores Threads Base Clock Boost Clock TDP L2 Cache L3 Cache
    Ryzen 7950X 16 32 4.5 GHz 5.7 GHz 170W 16MB 64MB
    Ryzen 7900X 12 24 4. 7 GHz 5.6 GHz 170W 12MB 64MB
    Ryzen 7700X 8 16 4.5 GHz 5.4 GHz 105W 8MB 32MB
    Ryzen 7600X 6 12 4.7 GHz 5.3 GHz 105W 6MB 32MB

    Based on a SiSoftware benchmark leak, the supposed Ryzen 7 7700 is a 65W CPU with a base frequency of 3.8 GHz. That’s 700 MHz lower base frequency than the 7700X, but it does have the advantage of lower TDP.

    The Ryzen 5 7600 based on the SiSoftware leak also has a 3.8 GHz base frequency and 65W TDP.

    Both of these leaked CPUs have the same amount of L2+L3 Cache compared to the X-variants.

    We also mentioned leaks of Ryzen 7000 CPUs with 3D V-Cache; however, leaks suggest that those will only be limited to 8 and 6-core configurations. So, possibly no Ryzen 9 7900X or 7950X with 3D V-cache.

    3D V-Cache

    To further boost gaming performance on Ryzen processors, AMD introduced 3D V-Cache. A method that allows L3 cache to be 3D stacked. With this, AMD managed to add 96MB of L3 cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

    That’s three times more than the original 5800X and almost double compared to the 5950X.

    With the success of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, we will (most probably) see 3D V-Cache in Ryzen 7000 CPUs during Q1 of 2023.

    Performance

    With the Ryzen 7000 series officially on shelves and the review embargo lifted, we finally have third-party benchmarks from various sources to share with you.

    First, let’s have a look at the flagship, the Ryzen 9 7950X!

    Ryzen 9 7950X

    First, let’s start with the Ryzen 9 7950X‘s strongest point, the multi-core performance. For this CPU, we went with Hardware Unboxed’s benchmarks for the best performance representation.

    The Ryzen 9 7950X is about 40% faster than the Intel Core i9-12900K in Cinbench R23 (multi-core test). Those are some very impressive gains, considering that this flagship Ryzen still has the same core count as its predecessor.

    And, when compared to its predecessor, it’s about 50% better at this benchmark than the 5950X. We rarely see these kinds of generational gains.

    Let’s look at some other benchmarks:

    In Adobe Photoshop 2022, Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, and Blender, the Ryzen 9 7950X consistently outperforms the flagship Intel Core i9-12900K. We even see the 7600X creeping up to the i9, but more on that later.

    That’s not all, though; what about gaming?

    Here are several game benchmarks, but we won’t focus on any particular one; instead, we’ll look at the average.

    Although it’s important to note that Intel was frequently number one when it came to CS:GO, but Ryzen 7000 wins them out by a huge margin this time around.

    In a 12-game average, the difference between the Intel Core i9-12900K and Ryzen 9 7950X is within the margin of error, meaning they practically perform identically.

    However, all of this performance came at a cost!

    Power usage has spiked across the entire Ryzen 7000 lineup.

    The Ryzen 9 7950X draws around 60% more power than its predecessor and almost as much as the i9-12900K.

    NOTE: Some users are reporting that Windows 11 might be affecting the performance of Ryzen CPUs. Although, AMD addressed this issue and have not found any evidence pointing toward a Windows bottleneck.

    Ryzen 9 7900X

    The Ryzen 9 7900X is the best pick for gaming and productivity performance at the same time while also being a bit cheaper than the Ryzen flagship.

    Expect productivity gains similar to the benchmark images above. For example, in this Gamers Nexus Blender chart below, the 7900X trumps the i9-12900K while staying behind the 7950X.

    Gaming doesn’t disappoint either, and it’s probably a much better choice (compared to the 7950X) because of its price tag.

    Even though the Ryzen 5 7600X and i9-12900K are crazy fast, the Ryzen 9 7900X is still about 10% faster than both of those CPUs.

    Of course, this SKU is also a lot more power-hungry (about 20% more) than its predecessor, pulling around 200W. This CPU also runs hot, around 90 degrees Celsius.

    Here’s Gamers Nexus’ review if you interested in more data:

    Ryzen 7 7700X

    The Ryzen 7 7700X is the middle-ground if you are looking for the best gaming performance, but some power for productivity tasks too.

    It will be slower than a 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X and faster than Ryzen 5 7600X in productivity.

    In terms of gaming however, it may be the fastest out of the (Zen 4) bunch. In fact, it might be the fastest gaming CPU overall, surpassing the 5800X3D and i9-12900K. We’ll see if it will hold its ground against the i9-13900K.

    Let’s look at some benchmarks. First up, gaming!

    Getting right to the point, on this Hardware Unboxed benchmark, the Ryzen 7 7700X ends up on top of the chart.

    However, it narrowly beats the 7950X and Intel’s flagship i9 by 2-3%, so it isn’t exactly a clear win.

    Here are some charts of popular games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

    In productivity tasks, the Ryzen 7 7700X isn’t as amazing since it has just 8 cores compared to the 12 cores on the i7-12700K.

    Source: Hardware Unboxed

    In this Cinebench R23 benchmark which gives us a rough estimate of its productivity-related performance, the 8-core Ryzen is about 13% slower than the i7-12700K.

    So, if you are looking to utilize multi-core applications, we suggest going with Intel’s 12-core CPU. Although, for video and photo editing on Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects, the Ryzen 7 7700X is considerably faster.

    Ryzen 5 7600X

    The Ryzen 5 7600X is definitely the CPU all gamers should be looking for. At just $300, users can get performance comparable to an i9-12900K.

    Of course, productivity performance isn’t going to be amazing since it has only 6 cores, but it’s not too bad.

    Its multi-core performance is definitely behind the Intel Core i5-12600K, but it is comparable to the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X thanks to the very fast cores packed in the CPU.

    But do note that single-core reliant applications like Premier Pro and Photoshop will see huge gains and performance better than the i9-12900K.

    Now, let’s get into the most interesting topic for this CPU, gaming!

    On a 12-game average, the Ryzen 5 7600X is almost 5% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D! It’s less than 5% faster than the i9, but these gains are remarkable either way.

    Rarely a $300 CPU delivers performance better than current generation flagships.

    Power Consumption/ECO Mode/Temperatures

    The Ryzen 5 7600X and the rest of the Ryzen 7000 SKUs target 95 degrees Celsius.

    However, this is not a bad thing. In fact, the CPUs will target this temperature to reach their best clock speeds, no matter the cooling.

    Here’s an example:

    The Ryzen 5 7600X operates at a 5% performance difference when swapping between a 360mm AIO and the box cooler, Wraith Spire.

    AMD has specified numerous times that this kind of temperature will not have any kind of impact on the CPU.

    Furthermore, you can enable “ECO Mode,” which cuts down the power consumption of the 7600X to 65W without any significant loss in performance.

    In gaming, the temperature stays between 50-70 degrees Celsius.

    For an in-depth explanation, we suggest checking out Hardware Unboxed’s video:
