A new leaked slide published by VideoCardz has spilled the beans on AMD’s alleged upcoming non-X Ryzen 7000 processors. The company apparently plans to announce the lower TDP models on January 10, 2023, just in time for CES 2023, offering consumers more affordable variants of the current lineup.
AMD will lower the base and boost the clocks to fit the new processors into a lower TDP envelope from 170W and 105W to just 65W while maintaining the same number of cores and threads. Of course, the price will also decrease to make up for the reduction in performance.
The upcoming Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600 models will receive $429, $329, and $229 price tags. Here’s how the processors compare to their more expensive X variants:
| Cover | Clocks | TDP | MSRP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | 12 Cor 24 threads |
4.7GHz 5.6GHz |
170W | $549 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 7900 | 12 Cor 24 threads |
3.7GHz 5.4GHz |
65W | $429 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | 8 Cor 16 threads |
4.5GHz 5.4GHz |
105W | $399 |
| AMD Ryzen 7700 | 8 Cor 16 threads |
3.8GHz 5.3GHz |
65W | $329 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | 6 cover 12 threads |
4.7GHz |
105W | $299 |
| AMD Ryzen 57600 | 6 cover 12 threads |
3.8GHz 5.1 GHz |
65W | $229 |
In terms of performance, the leaked slide claims that the Ryzen 9 7900 is an average of 19% faster than its Ryzen 5000 series counterpart when paired with an AMD RX 6950XT.
Even with lower clocks and TDP, the upcoming non-X Ryzen 7000 processors should offer good performance for lower prices. However, AMD’s latest CPU lineup is currently on sale, with massive discounts of up to 29% off.
