The Ryzen 7 7700 Zen 4 CPU is currently discounted by a respectable 12% on Amazon. The discount brings the final price of the processor down to only US$275.99 which is a 60-day low rate according to Honey’s price history tool.
What’s more, the Ryzen 7 7700 on sale comes bundled with a free digital copy of Starfield. Set to release on September 6th, Starfield is Bethesda Game Studio’s first new IP in 25 years. The recommended Starfield system requirements on Steam mention a Ryzen 5 3600X CPU. So, the Ryzen 7 7700 is a perfect pairing for the title, since it vastly outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600X.
Per our review of the Ryzen 7 7700, the 8-core/16-thread part is practically on par with the flagship Intel Core i9-13900K and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X in gaming performance.
Thanks to the 65 W TDP, the Ryzen 7 7700 is also incredibly efficient. In our Cinebench R15 Multi Efficiency power consumption test, the processor scored 20.4 points per, a 61% better result than the Core i5-13600K, 53% more than the Ryzen 7 7700X, and 32% higher than the Ryzen 9 7900X.
Long story short, if you are in need of a high-performing gaming CPU that also displays impressive power efficiency, the Ryzen 7 7700 seems like a perfect fit.
