AMD Ryzen 7 7700 65 W Ryzen 7000 Review: Able Core i9-12900K and Core i5-13600K challenger that is US$70 less than Ryzen 7 7700X

Raphael without the X factor. The AMD 65 W Ryzen 7000 non-X lineup seeks to make Zen 4 available at more affordable price points. Today, we test the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and see how it performs vis-à-vis its higher TDP cousins and also against the Intel Raptor Lake competition. While the Ryzen 7 7700 can get you near-Core i9-12900K performance for US$70 less than the Ryzen 7 7700X's MSRP, extraneous factors such as high DDR5 prices can put a spanner in the works.

After having introduced the Ryzen 7000 lineup late last year, AMD has introduced a few additions to the Raphael Zen 4 family at CES 2023. The original launch included four processors led by the 16C/32T Ryzen 9 7950X.

The Ryzen 7x0X lineup are rated at 105 W TDP, with the 12C/24T Ryzen 9 7900X and the 16C/32T Ryzen 9 7950X going up to 170 W. Users can run these CPUs at lower TDPs of 105 W and 65 W as the case may be resulting in substantial power savings with negligible performance loss.

Today, AMD is making available the new 65 W Ryzen 7000 CPUs revealed at CES. These non-X CPUs are based on the new AM5 platform and are targeted at budget price points. Even though these are non-X processors, they are fully unlocked, support overclocking, and even come with a Wraith cooler in the box.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600	6 / 12	3.8 GHz	5.1 GHz	6x 1 MB	32 MB	65 W	88 W	US$229

We have with us the AMD Ryzen 7 7700. The Ryzen 7 7700 is in many ways akin to the Ryzen 7 7700X but runs at lower base and boost clocks by default, which requires a lesser TDP. The processor is also about US$70 cheaper than its X cousin.

In this review, we take a look at the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and see how well the US$329 asking price corelates in terms of performance with its more expensive cousins.

We also would like to thank MSI for the Gaming X Trio RTX 3090 GPU, Gigabyte for the M28U monitor and Aorus NVMe SSD, and finally Cooler Master for the test bench and AIO cooler.

CPU benchmarks: Right on the heels of the Core i9-12900K in single-core

Cumulative CPU benchmarks show the Ryzen 7 7700 gnawing on the hells of the Intel Alder Lake Core i9-12900K while being just 4% behind the Ryzen 7 7700X. While this is a great show, individual benchmarks help paint a clearer picture.

In Cinebench R23, R20, and R15, the Ryzen 7 7700 shows very good single-core performance that is on par with the rest of the Ryzen 7000 stack. The latest Zen 4 CPU trails the Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K by up to 15% in these tests. In Cinebench multi-core tests, the Ryzen 7 7700 cannot match up to the likes of the Core i9-12900K or even the Core i5-13600K owing to the reduced thread count.

The lower boost clocks compared to the Ryzen 7 7700X puts the non-X version at a slight 5% disadvantage in Cinebench multi-core tests.

Similar trends are seen in Geekbench as well, but the delta between the Core i9-13900K and the Ryzen 7 7700 is much lower in single-core tests compared to what we've seen with Cinebench.

The Ryzen 7 7700 tries to close the gap with the Core i9-12900K in tests such as wPrime, R Benchmark, and LibreOffice. It cannot quite surpass the last gen Intel flagship, but it is able to come pretty close.

Essentially, the Ryzen 7 7700's performance is exactly the same as that of a 65 W TDP-limited Ryzen 7 7700X with the advantage here being that users running single-threaded workloads stand to get Ryzen 9 7950X-levels of performance while saving significant dough.

Cinebench R15 Multi Loop

Unlike the Ryzen 7000X series, AMD supplies a cooler in the box for the 65 W non-X processors. The Ryzen 9 7900 and the Ryzen 7 7700 come with a Wraith Prism cooler (ah, Zen 2 nostalgia!) while the Ryzen 5 7600 comes bundled with a Wraith Stealth low-profile cooler.

The Wraith coolers aren't the greatest out there, but they can come in very handy and can get the job done for non-intensive computing. The Ryzen 7 7700 offers a well-sustained performance in our Cinebench R15 multi-core loop test without any signs of throttling when paired with our Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360L V2 ARGB AIO.

We recommend opting for a capable AIO solution if you plan on pushing the Ryzen 7 7700 to its limits.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700: Ø3021 (2985.74-3046.92)

During the loop, we see that the Ryzen 7 7700 is able to hit the 5.3 GHz mark albeit just once — the processor seems comfortable coasting around the 5.1 GHz mark in this test. The package power is maintained at a steady 90 W during each loop — it is higher than the rated 65 W TDP, but the core temperatures only reach a maximum of 68 °C.

Like the X series chips, AMD mentions that the non-X counterparts also have a TjMax of 95 °C, but this limit is not usually reached during stress owing to the lower TDP. Still, the higher TjMax limit enables Precision Boost 2 to extract the maximum performance out of this chip.

3D and gaming performance: On par with the Ryzen 9 7900X and Core i9-13900K

The Ryzen 7 7700 comes across as a highly capable gaming CPU that is right up there with the best that Intel and AMD have to offer in this generation.

The Ryzen 7 7700 ties with the Core i9-13900K, Ryzen 9 7900X, and the Ryzen 5 7600X in overall gaming performance. However, results can vary on a per-game basis.

For instance, F1 22 seems to be favoring AMD CPUs a lot more than Intel while the converse is true in the case of Far Cry 5. AMD's latest 8-core 65W CPU also manages to edge out the Ryzen 9 7900X ever-so-slightly in The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra while virtually tying with the Core i9-13900K at a very low 1024 x 768 resolution at the lowest possible graphics settings.

In any case, the Ryzen 7 7700 makes for an excellent gaming CPU especially if you are looking to push the maximum frames possible at 1080p or QHD.

Energy management: More efficient than a 65 W Ryzen 7 7700X

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 has a very frugal energy requirement relative to the competition. In Cinebench R15 multi, the Ryzen 7 7700 sips 24% lesser power than a TDP-limited 65W Ryzen 7 7700X making AMD's new 65 W chip up to 32% more efficient in terms of performance.

The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra sees the total power consumption with the Ryzen 7 7700 system more or less in line with the Core i9-13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X systems even when the latter are TDP-limited.

That being said, the Ryzen 7 7700 is able to offer additional frames compared to its rivals, which makes the processor move up in power efficiency rankings for this game.

Verdict: Zen 4 for the masses but with caveats

AMD Ryzen 7 7700. Review unit courtesy of AMD India.

We wouldn't blame you if you weren't aware of new 65 W Ryzen 7000 processors hitting the shelves today given that most of the limelight was hogged by the Ryzen 7000X3D and Dragon Range-HX mobile processors during AMD's CES 2023 keynote. The new 65 W Zen 4 range may seem superfluous at first glance — they offer the same levels of performance as their non-X counterparts with insignificant trade-offs. However, these new Raphael processors do fill an important gap in the lineup.

The 65 W Ryzen 7000 processors significantly lower the entry bar for Zen 4. The Ryzen 7 7700 in question retails for US$329, which is US$70 less than the MSRP of the Ryzen 7 7700X. In our testing, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 offers excellent single-core performance that is comparable to the rest of the Zen 4 lineup, even outperforming the 241 W Core i9-12900K in many benchmarks.

In fact, all Zen 4 chips right from the entry-level Ryzen 5 7600X to the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X seem to vie with each other for single-core gains. That being said, Intel Raptor Lake does have the upper hand in multi-core and the Core i9-13900K can still give the Ryzen 9 7950X a tough time.

The Ryzen 7 7700's main competitor is the Core i5-13600K. While the Ryzen 7 7700 can edge out the Core i5-13600K in single-core performance and gaming, the latter inherently augurs well for multi-core, single-core, and gaming put together. Also, the Core i5-13600K is about US$10 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 7700 right now, so it makes for a good option if you already have a compatible Intel platform.

With a significantly lowered entry bar coupled with affordable B650E chipset motherboards and potential for overclocking, Zen 4 65 W, particularly the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, is a great choice for frugal performance enthusiasts looking to test AM5 waters."

The Ryzen 7 7700 performs exactly the same as a TDP-limited 65 W Ryzen 7 7700X. The corollary is that you can leverage Precision Boost Overdrive and support for EXPO memory profiles to narrow the performance gap with a Ryzen 7 7700X while still saving US$70. Not everything is rosy, however.

AMD's AM5 platform is still quite new and prices of DDR5 memory are still on the higher side, offsetting any savings benefit with the new 65 W Ryzens. One of the pangs of innovating on a new platform is ceding potential ground to your competitor.

At the moment, Intel has the upper hand when it comes to backwards compatibility — you can drop a Raptor Lake CPU in a last gen motherboard with DDR4 memory and still get comparable levels of performance for much less money.

That being said, AMD can be expected to support AM5 until 2025 at least. So, any investment you make now can be expected to last quite a while.

We've seen excellent power-efficiency with TDP-limited Ryzen 7 7700X and the Ryzen 9 7950X, and the new Ryzen 7 7700 continues the trend with even better figures. We will have a better perspective once we get to test Intel's new 65 W Rocket Lake parts that were announced at CES 2023, but for now 65 W Ryzen seems to be doing a great job.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700, with the inclusion of a Wraith Prism cooler in the box, no doubt increases Zen 4's value proposition, but we recommend keeping a tab on motherboard and DDR5 RAM prices before splurging the moolah.

Price and Availability

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and the rest of the Ryzen 65 W lineup are slated to be available from today but are yet to be stocked online. We will update this section with purchase links as soon as stocks go live.
