AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X series processor appear on Geekbench
According to previous reports, AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X series processors may be unveiled at CES 2023 in early January and will be available on January 10, 2023. As CES 2023 is approaching, the specifications, selling prices, and other information about this series of processors have been exposed, and the Geekbench 5 benchmark results have also been leaked recently.
AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X series processors include three models, namely Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600. According to the previously leaked parameters, the base clock of non-X series processors is generally reduced by 0.8-0.9GHz compared to the X-series processors, the boost clock is reduced by 0.1-0.2GHz, and the size of the L3 cache has not changed. Due to the drop in base frequency, the TDP of the three non-X series processors is 65W.
Judging from the leaked GeekBench 5 scores, compared with the Ryzen 9 7900X, the single-core performance of the Ryzen 9 7900 dropped by 5%, and the multi-core performance dropped by 3.5%; compared with the Ryzen 7 7700X, the single-core performance of the Ryzen 7 7700 drops by 6.1%, and the multi-core performance hardly drops; compared with the Ryzen 5 7600X, the Ryzen 5 7600 has a 4.2% drop in single-core performance and a 4.6% drop in multi-core performance.
Generally speaking, the performance decline of non-X series processors is not obvious. After all, the frequency and TDP are only reduced, and the number of cores and cache size are not affected. According to past rules, AMD will not limit the overclocking function of non-X series processors, which is undoubtedly good news for players who pursue cost performance.
