Nearly two years after releasing its first Ryzen 5000 desktop processors, AMD is finally ready to follow them up. Today, the company announced pricing and availability for the first wave of Ryzen 7000 CPUs based on the Zen 4 architecture, along with more details about the accompanying AM5 platform and the performance increases that early adopters can expect.
The first four Ryzen 7000 CPUs will be available on September 27, and AMD is using the same strategy it used to launch the 5000 series (if you're wondering about the skipped number, 6000-series CPUs are only available for laptops). It's starting with four higher-end, higher-priced parts, while lower-end CPUs for mainstream and budget builds will follow next year.
| CPU | MSRP | Cores/threads | Clocks (Base/Boost) | Total cache (L2+L3) | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 7600X | $299 | 6c/12t | 4.7/5.3 GHz | 38MB (6+32) | 105 W |
| Ryzen 7 7700X | $399 | 8c/16t | 4.5/5.4 GHz | 40MB (8+32) | 105 W |
| Ryzen 9 7900X | $549 | 12c/24t | 4.7/5.6 GHz | 76MB (12+64) | 170 W |
| Ryzen 9 7950X | $699 | 16c/32t | 4.5/5.7 GHz | 80MB (16+64) | 170 W |
AMD is sticking to the same core counts it used for Zen 3. The entry-level model is the 6-core Ryzen 5 7600X, launching for the same $299 that the 5600X cost in 2020; the 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X is also launching for $549, the same price as the Ryzen 9 5900X. The other two chips are a little cheaper than their Ryzen 5000 counterparts; the 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X launches for $699, $100 less than the 5950X, while the 8-core Ryzen 7 7700X starts at $399, $50 less than the launch price for the Ryzen 7 5800X (technically, this is a price increase over the $299 Ryzen 7 5700X, but that chip wasn't released until nearly a year and a half after the 5800X).
