AMD Ryzen 7 7700 in review

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.
